RaLu Trial: Sequence of Radium Then Lutetium in mCRPC Management - Kambiz Rahbar

Details
Oliver Sartor and Kambiz Rahbar discuss the RaLu study examining the safety and efficacy of sequential radiopharmaceutical treatments in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The discussion highlights how lutetium-PSMA therapy can be safely administered following radium treatment, with outcomes consistent across different treatment sequences and timing intervals. They examine how these...

ctDNA Assay Detects AR Enhancer Alterations Linked to Poor Survival - Russell Pachynski, Aadel Chaudhuri & Christopher Maher

Details
Oliver Sartor speaks with Russ Pachynski, Chris Maher, and Aadel Chaudhuri about their novel biomarker study in advanced prostate cancer. The discussion centers on their development of a cell-free DNA assay that examines both AR gene and enhancer alterations in mCRPC patients, showing significant prognostic value for treatment outcomes. Dr. Chaudhuri presents their discovery of a stemness signatur...

Combining Lutetium-PSMA with Hormonal Therapy Enhances Prostate Cancer Treatment - Louise Emmett

Details
Oliver Sartor speaks with Louise Emmett about combination therapy approaches with lutetium-PSMA in prostate cancer. The discussion explores various combination strategies, including promising results from the ENZA-p trial combining lutetium-PSMA with enzalutamide, which shows notable response rates in first-line mCRPC. They examine multiple potential combination approaches, including hormonal ther...

Elevated CBP/p300 Expression Linked to Poor Outcomes in Advanced Prostate Cancer - Ayesha Shafi

Details
Andrea Miyahira speaks with Ayesha Shafi about a study on AR coactivators CBP/p300 in prostate cancer. The research reveals that CBP/p300 expression increases as prostate cancer progresses to castration-resistant stages, correlating with poor patient survival. Through various preclinical studies, Dr. Shafi demonstrates that CBP/p300 plays a crucial role in DNA repair, particularly in homologous re...

Highlights in Prostate Cancer Treatment Advances from ESMO 2024 - Ursula Vogl

Details
Ursula Vogl discusses key prostate cancer highlights from ESMO 2024. The conversation explores three major trials across different disease stages: the PATCH trial evaluating transdermal estradiol versus LHRH analogs in non-metastatic disease, the ARANOTE trial examining darolutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and the PEACE-3 trial investigating radium-223 plus enzalutamide in...

Radium-223 Plus Enzalutamide Improves Survival in mCRPC: PEACE-3 Trial Results, Journal Club - Rashid Sayyid & Zachary Klaassen

Details
Rashid Sayyid and Zachary Klaassen discuss the resurgence of radium-223 in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), focusing on the PEACE-3 trial results. The conversation begins with an overview of radium-223's mechanism as a targeted alpha emitter and its historical efficacy in the ALSYMPCA trial, before exploring its underutilization despite FDA approval. The discussion...

Epigenetic Profiling Identifies Biomarkers Predicting Resistance to AR-Targeted Therapy in mCRPC - Wilbert Zwart

Details
Wilbert Zwart joins Neeraj Agarwal to discuss research on epigenetic targeting in prostate cancer. The discussion examines histone markers in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients to predict response to enzalutamide treatment. Using patient-derived xenografts and computational modeling, the research identifies HDAC3 as a key target and demonstrates synergistic effects wh...

ARROW Study Reveals Iodine-131 PSMA Efficacy in Advanced Cancer - Evan Yu

Details
Evan Yu joins Zachary Klaassen to discuss the results of the ARROW trial. The study evaluates Iodine-131-LNTH-1095, a novel PSMA radioligand therapy, in combination with enzalutamide versus enzalutamide alone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who previously received abiraterone. While the trial meets its primary endpoint with significantly higher PSA decline rates in the...

AR Pathway Inhibitors vs Taxanes in mCRPC ProBio Trial - Bram De Laere

Details
Bram De Laere discusses the ProBio trial, a platform study for metastatic prostate cancer. Dr. De Laere explains the trial's unique design, which uses circulating tumor DNA analysis to guide treatment decisions and evaluate multiple biomarker-therapy combinations simultaneously. The study demonstrates that AR pathway inhibitors generally outperform taxane-based chemotherapy in mCRPC patients, with...

First-Line Combination Treatment with PARP and Androgen Receptor-Signaling Inhibitors in HRR-Deficient mCRPC: Applying Clinical Study Findings to Clinical Practice in the United States - Beyond the Ab...

Details
While most patients with prostate cancer are diagnosed with localized disease, a subset will develop metastatic disease, and subsequently castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which remains incurable. Additionally, an increasing number of patients will present with de novo metastatic prostate cancer, known as metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), and may progress to mCRP...
