Phase 2 Trial of GV20-0251 With Anti-PD-1 Therapy in mCRPC

GV20-0251 is an experimental antibody that blocks a new immune brake called IGSF8, and this phase 2 study tests it together with anti-PD-1 drugs in people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatment. The goal is to restore early innate immune signaling so checkpoint therapy works better in resistant cancers. From […]

Zanzalintinib After Pluvicto in Chemo‑Naïve mCRPC

Zanzalintinib is being tested after Pluvicto (177Lu-PSMA-617) in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) because it targets several escape routes tumors use once they have survived PSMA‑directed radioligand therapy and prolonged AR pathway blockade. Pluvicto delivers beta radiation to PSMA‑expressing cells, inducing DNA damage and tumor cell death, but progression still occurs and is often driven […]

UPDATE: ABBV-969 Shows Very Promising rFPS in mCRPC

ABBV-969 is a dual-target antibody-drug conjugate targeting PSMA and STEAP1, data about its radiographic progression-free survival data have just been released, confirming a median rPFS of approximately 15 months in heavily pretreated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The study demonstrates a signal far exceeding the 4- to 5-month rPFS historically seen with cabazitaxel in the same […]

CD46 ImmunoPET in mCRPC: A New Theranostic Axis Beyond PSMA

CD46 is a cell‑surface protein that stays highly expressed in aggressive, late‑stage prostate cancer, including PSMA‑low, AR‑negative and neuroendocrine variants. That means CD46 immunoPET can still “see” and quantify disease that PSMA PET misses, and can guide CD46‑targeted therapies in exactly those PSMA‑low/negative patients who respond poorly to PSMA‑directed radioligand therapy. Using the human antibody […]

The PROTEUS Trial: Perioperative Apalutamide Shows Positive Results for Prostate Cancer

The PROTEUS phase 3 trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, shows that adding perioperative apalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy significantly improves outcomes for men with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy. The international trial randomized 2,109 patients to six cycles of ADT plus apalutamide (240 mg daily) or ADT […]
