- Alicia Morgans speaks with Louise Emmett about the ENZA-p study, presented at ESMO 2023. This groundbreaking research explores the combination of lutetium and enzalutamide in treating early metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Patients, previously showing limited response to enzalutamide, were screened with PSMA PET and randomized to receive either enzalutamide alone or combined with lut...

- Kevin Kelly discusses a groundbreaking approach to prostate cancer treatment with Alicia Morgans. He presents Xaluritamig (AMG 509) a novel bi-specific antibody targeting the STEAP1 protein, prevalent in prostate cancer cells. This innovative therapy, a form of biTE therapy, is designed to attract T-cells for targeted cytotoxicity. In a phase one trial involving advanced prostate cancer patients w...

- Michael Morris highlights notable prostate cancer trials, focusing on AMG 509, a bispecific antibody targeting STEAP1 and CD3. This promising early-phase study, still determining optimal dosages, shows potential in treating prostate cancer, a field historically resistant to immune therapy. Dr. Morris emphasizes AMG 509's ability to reduce bony and visceral diseases, including liver disease, with m...

- Zach Klaassen speaks with Dan George about a key study comparing Enzalutamide (Enza) and Abiraterone (Abi) in pre-chemotherapy metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study addresses a significant gap in head-to-head clinical trials for these drugs. Dr. George discusses various data sources, including the French National Database, Flatiron, and VA data, all indicating a survi...
