Prostate Cancer

The first patient has been dosed in the phase 2 AlphaBreak trial with FPI-2265 for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, marking a significant milestone in advanced cancer treatment.

Darolutamide has been adopted routinely in clinical practice as a component of both doublet and triplet regimens for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

The addition of PSMA-PET imaging to multi-parametric MRI was associated with an improvement in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Treatment with enzalutamide alone and with leuprolide delivered higher rates of undetectable PSA levels compared with leuprolide alone in patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Improved outcomes with lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan vs ARPI change supported prior treatment with abiraterone vs enzalutamide in mCRPC.

Data support using 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in the preoperative workflow of intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer.

Administering high-intensity focused ultrasound could be a noninferior treatment option for patients with localized prostate cancer, according to a prospective trial.

Apalutamide with androgen deprivation therapy following radical prostatectomy led to a biochemical recurrence-free survival rate of 100% after 2 years among patients with high-risk prostate cancer.

A new study found that Black patients with prostate cancer were less likely to get new treatments and had a higher risk of death than White patients.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Kim N. Chi, MD, FRCPC, discussed the MAGNITUDE trial results, including patient-reported outcomes, in patients with BRCA-positive mCRPC.

Neal Shore, MD, FACS provides an analysis of the ARAMIS, SPARTAN, and PROSPER trials, which demonstrate improved survival in high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer through early intervention, highlighting the potential for preventing disease progression based on the data from these pivotal studies.

Neal Shore, MD, FACS, reviews the case of a 75-year-old man with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, seeks to evaluate the timeline of rising PSA to determine the aggressiveness of the disease, and considers the patient an excellent candidate for antigen receptor pathway inhibition.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Nasir Chaudry, MD, discussed the evolving landscape of prostate cancer treatment, driven by new research.

Robert Dreicer, MD, MS, MACP, FASCO, discusses the limitations of using prostate-specific antigen levels alone to guide prostate cancer treatment.

Scott T. Tagawa, MD, MS, FACP, FASCO, highlights a key difference between oral androgen receptor inhibitor drugs and therapeutic radionuclides for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Scott T. Tagawa, MD, MS, FACP, FASCO, discusses that patients with advanced prostate cancer benefit from a multidisciplinary care team.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Rohan Garje, MD, discussed how mutations such as TP53, RB1, and PTEN impact overall survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network has included ArteraAI in its clinical practice guidelines as a predictive test for localized prostate cancer.

The FDA has granted fast track designation to BXCL701 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor for metastatic small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer resistant to chemotherapy and showing no evidence of microsatellite instability.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Clara Hwang, MD, discussed the notable differences in molecular alterations observed in the retrospective cohort study among Black men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer compared with White men.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Regina Barragan-Carrillo, MD, discussed the findings from her analysis of the Language of Respect guidelines adopted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and how well they are followed in prostate cancer abstracts.

Individuals diagnosed with HRR gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving olaparib face a critical requirement for timely and consistent genetic testing to enhance treatment outcomes.

The combination of olaparib and abiraterone acetate resulted in a postponement of disease progression and enhanced outcomes for individuals with mutations in BRCA, ATM, and CDK12 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

A post hoc sensitivity analysis that counted use of subsequent therapies in patients censored from primary overall survival follow-up favored darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Regarding safety, the investigators did not observe any grade 3 or 4 adverse events during the study.
