Real-World Evidence For Patients with mCRPC Treated with Cabazitaxel - Ronald de Wit

Details
The CARD study was a head-to-head comparison of cabazitaxel chemotherapy versus either abiraterone or enzalutamide in mCRPC patients who had been exposed to one series of the docetaxel chemotherapy cycle and the alternative AR-targeted agents. There was a 30% reduction in the risk of death by cabazitaxel chemotherapy. This data was presented at the 2019 ESMO meeting by Ronald de Wit, MD, Ph.D. In...

TRANSFORMER - A Study Comparing Bipolar Androgen Therapy Vs Enzalutamide in mCRPC - Emmanuel Antonarakis

Details
Emmanuel Antonarakis joins Charles Ryan highlighting the first randomized study to assess high-dose testosterone as a treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). TRANSFORMER (Testosterone Revival Abolishes Negative Symptoms, Fosters Objective Response and Modulates Enzalutamide Resistance) was led by Dr. Samuel R. Denmeade at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine – Sidney Kim...

Should Checkpoint Inhibitors Ever Be Used Outside of a Clinical Trial in Prostate Cancer - James Gulley

Details
In a comprehensive discussion led by Charles Ryan, James Gulley delves into the role of genomic testing and immunotherapy in treating prostate cancer. Dr. Gulley emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment, highlighting studies that identify specific genomic markers like homologous recombination deficiency and mismatch repair deficiency. These markers can guide the use of targeted therapie...

How Can We Leverage Our Understanding of the Tumor Microenvironment to Improve Systemic Therapy? - Kenneth Pienta

Details
In a comprehensive discussion between Charles Ryan and Kenneth Pienta, the focus is on the tumor microenvironment in prostate cancer. Dr. Pienta describes the tumor microenvironment as an ecological system, emphasizing the interactions between cancer cells and various other cell types. He argues that current treatments, including immunotherapies, must be understood in the context of this microenvi...

Cabozantinib in Combination with Atezolizumab in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: COSMIC-021 - Neeraj Agarwal

Details
Treatment options in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have soft-tissue progression after second-generation anti-androgen therapies are limited. Single-agent studies of cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that regulates cell growth, angiogenesis, and immune cell regulation, and the anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab each showed limited efficacy as monotherapy. (...

NCCN Guidelines Updated for Prostate Cancer M1 Systemic Therapy Based Upon The CARD Trial - Tanya Dorff

Discussing the Efficacy and Safety from Results of the Dose Escalation Arm of AMG 160, a Bispecific T-Cell Engager (BiTE) Immune Therapy Targeting PSMA for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Can...

Details
Medical Oncologist, Ben Tran, MBBS, FRACP, joins Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH, Oliver Sartor, MD, and Neal Shore, MD, FACS to speak about the first in-human study of AMG 160, a half-life extended (HLE), PSMA-targeted, bispecific t-cell engager (BiTE®) immune therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) designed to understand the effects of BiTE AMG 160 and prostate cancer cells....

Preliminary Efficacy of AMG 160 in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, Interim Results From the Phase 1 Study - Tanya Dorff

Details
AMG 160 is a half-life extended (HLE) BiTE® molecule designed to engage the patient’s own T cells with PSMA on prostate cancer cells, activating the cytotoxic potential of T cells to eliminate cancer. In this conversation with Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH, Medical Oncologist, Researcher, and co-investigator on the first in human, interim results of a phase 1 study of AMG 160, Tanya Dorff, MD from the C...
