LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hello fellow warriors! Despite the increasingly hot and sweltering summer, we still have some interesting news to share this week! Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you prefer to listen to the newsletter, you can find […]

Bavdegalutamide Plus Abiraterone in Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Phase Ib Safety and Activity Results

Bavdegalutamide (ARV-110) is an oral androgen receptor degrader designed to address resistance to androgen-receptor–targeted therapy in metastatic prostate cancer. In this phase 1b study, it was combined with abiraterone in patients whose disease was progressing on abiraterone, with the goal of testing safety, pharmacokinetics, and early signs of antitumor activity. The trial enrolled 45 patients, […]

Intensified Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer Bone Metastases

A regional retrospective study covering 2011 to 2025 suggests that a more intensive radiotherapy strategy may improve survival in selected patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases. The analysis included 246 consecutive men who received 347 radiotherapy courses and asked whether treating bone lesions more aggressively, together with prostate-directed radiotherapy, could translate into longer overall […]

Another Phase 1/2 Trial With SX-682, Combined With Docetaxel This Time

SX-682 is moving into a new clinical context. After an ongoing trial in prostate cancer with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors such as apalutamide and enzalutamide, the CXCR1/2 inhibitor is now being studied with docetaxel in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, and advanced prostate cancer. That matters because docetaxel is not […]

Phase 1 Trial for a New PSMA Radioligand 177Lu‑PSMA‑VG01

177Lu‑PSMA‑VG01 is a next‑generation, small‑molecule PSMA‑targeting radiopharmaceutical designed to refine what 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 (Pluvicto) has already achieved. It uses a high‑affinity ligand to deliver the beta‑emitter lutetium‑177 directly to PSMA‑expressing tumor cells, aiming for greater tumor dosing with less exposure of healthy tissue. A new phase 1 trial is testing its dosimetry and side effects on […]

Darolutamide Versus Abiraterone-Based Triplets in mHSPC: Real-World Signals from the ARON-3 Study

Using data from the international ARON-3 real-world study, investigators performed a retrospective head-to-head comparison of darolutamide- and abiraterone-based triplet therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The comparison included 247 patients treated with darolutamide plus docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy or abiraterone plus docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy across 37 institutions in 14 countries. […]

A New Clue for Prostate Cancer Survival

A recent study, published on Nature, looked at a question that matters just as much as prostate cancer risk: why do some tumors stay quiet while others become life-threatening after diagnosis? The researchers searched for genes whose activity might be linked to survival, not just to the chance of developing the disease. To do this, […]

Dual-Targeting PSMA And FRα Drug Conjugate Advances to U.S. Trial for Prostate Cancer

MVB-101 (aka CBP-1018) is a new clinical-stage drug conjugate for prostate cancer simultaneously targets PSMA and folate receptor alpha (FRα) to overcome tumor heterogeneity. The drug is a bivalent peptide-like drug conjugate roughly one-fiftieth the size of a traditional antibody drug conjugate, designed to diffuse more rapidly into solid tumors. It delivers monomethyl auristatin E […]

Phase 1 RIALTO Trial: Radiotherapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer With Incomplete Hormone Response

The RIALTO trial challenges decades of oncology dogma that treating the prostate becomes irrelevant once cancer spreads. For patients with de novo metastasized prostate cancer who show incomplete PSA-response (PSA >0.2 ng/ml after six months of combined ADT+ARPI), the prostate may function as a persistent tumor reservoir continuously seeding metastases. Local radiotherapy to the prostate […]
