The ECLIPSE Phase III Trial of Lutetium PSMA-I&T Shows Promise in Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatment - Emmanuel Antonarakis

Details
Emmanuel Antonarakis joins Alicia Morgans in a conversation about the trial in progress multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 3 ECLIPSE trial comparing the safety and efficacy of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T versus standard-of-care hormone therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, previously treated with only one ARAT and are taxane-based chemo naive. The ECLIPSE trial is bei...

BXCL701 Combined with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer of Small Cell Neuroendocrine Phenotype - Rahul Aggarwal

Details
Rahul Aggarwal joins Alica Morgans in conversation discussing a phase II study of patients with de novo small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a high-risk group of patients with limited standard of care treatment options. The treatment was a combination immunotherapy trial, combining pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, with BXCL 701, an investigational agent. The composite response...

Exploring the Latest Advances in Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatment - Oliver Sartor

Details
Alicia Morgans and Oliver Sartor discuss the latest developments and changes in the advanced prostate cancer landscape. Dr. Sartor mentions that novel hormones are used as first-line treatment in most cases and that the controversy around treating first-line metastatic CRPC is no longer relevant. He believes the evolution is going to continue with the novel hormones going earlier in different sett...

Clinically Relevant Biomarkers in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer - Noel Clarke

Details
Alicia Morgans converses with Noel Clarke about the significance of biomarkers in castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Clarke highlights the clinical importance of recognizing diversity among prostate cancer patients, particularly considering age and associated comorbidities. Noting that many patients, especially from socially deprived backgrounds, face challenges due to comorbidities, he und...

Combination of Niraparib and Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone Radiographic PFS as a First-Line Therapy in Patients with HRR Gene-Mutated mCRPC, MAGNITUDE - Cora Sternberg

Details
Alicia Morgans and Cora Sternberg discuss the MAGNITUDE phase 3 trial which was pragmatically designed to test the benefit of the combination of niraparib + abiraterone acetate/prednisone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in patients prospectively identified with and without alterations in genes associated with HRR using both tissue and blood-based approaches. Dr. Sternbe...

Heterogeneity in Multifocal Prostate Cancer - Simpa Salami

Details
In this conversation with Alicia Morgans, Simpa Salami discusses transcriptomic heterogeneity in multifocal prostate cancer and factors predisposing certain prostate cancer-focused to metastasis. Simpa Salami is a Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) Young Investigator Award recipient. Highlighting key takeaways from two research studies, Dr. Salami also shares how the PCF funding has supported this r...

A Urine-Based Multiplexed Assay for the Early Detection of Aggressive Prostate Cancer – Simpa Salami

Details
In this conversation with Charles Ryan, Simpa Salami highlights a new urine-based test for detecting aggressive prostate cancer, which promises improvement upon current biomarker tests. It's been estimated that prostate cancer often occurs in multiple areas of the prostate in about 60% to 80% of patients. Prostate biopsy is the strategy for detecting aggressive prostate cancer based upon elevated...

Rucaparib Monotherapy Improves Radiographic Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: TRITON3 Trial - Alan Bryce

Details
In this conversation, Alicia Morgans and Alan Bryce highlighted the TRITON3 study. TRITON3 is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial of Rubraca in patients with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study enrolled 405 patients with a mutation in BRCA or ATM who were randomized to Rubraca or the control group, which consisted of the physician’...

Radiographic Progression-Free Survival Correlation with Time-to-Event Endpoints in the VISION Trial - Michael Morris

Details
In this discussion, Michael Morris and Alicia Morgans discuss a post hoc analysis of the VISION Trial aimed at assessing earlier maturing time-to-event endpoints. Earlier time-to-event endpoints than overall survival (OS) will allow more timely regulatory approval and overall accelerated drug development. Morris and colleagues aimed to estimate correlations between time-to-event endpoints such as...

Exploring the Molecular Mechanisms of Tumor Progression in Metastatic Prostate Cancer among Men of African Ancestry (MET-PAAM) - Clayton Yates

Details
Charles Ryan and Clayton Yates delve into the intricate landscape of health disparities and global health equity. Central to the discussion is Dr. Yates's groundbreaking work as principal investigator of MET-PAAM, studying the molecular mechanisms of tumor progression in metastatic prostate cancer among men of African descent. Dr. Yates provides insights into the unique BRCA2 gene variants found i...
