JUR-003 Enters Phase 1 Trial in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

A new first-in-human phase 1 trial, has been posted for JUR-003 in metastatic prostate cancer. The study plans to enrol up to 210 patients and includes dose-escalation and dose-expansion cohorts in mCRPC, metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and oligometastatic disease. JUR-003 will be given intravenously, with the initial goals of defining safety, pharmacokinetics and a […]

Could BAT Make PARP Inhibitors Work Better in Prostate Cancer?

A new 2026 review proposes an interesting idea: bipolar androgen therapy (BAT) may help make prostate cancer more sensitive to PARP inhibitors, even in some tumours that do not carry the classic BRCA1/2 mutations usually associated with strong PARP responses. BAT exposes prostate cancer cells to rapid swings between very high and very low testosterone […]

ENV105 Phase 2 Trial for mCRPC: Can Prostate Cancer Be Made Sensitive to Hormone Therapy Again?

We already discussed ENV105 (carotuximab) in a previous ProstateWarriors article, when the safety lead-in of its phase 2 trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer was completed. Since then, the programme has produced its first meaningful efficacy signal, making it worth revisiting. ENV105 targets CD105, a protein that appears to become more active as prostate cancer […]

BUB1B and CENP-E: A New Vulnerability in Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer

A new preclinical study published in Cancer Research has identified a possible way to attack prostate cancer that has become resistant to castration and enzalutamide. The work focuses on BUB1B, a protein involved in controlling cell division, and CENP-E, one of the proteins it helps regulate. When researchers lowered BUB1B levels, resistant prostate cancer cells […]

Terbinafine: An Old Antifungal Enters a Phase 2 Prostate Cancer Trial

An inexpensive antifungal drug that has been used for decades is now being tested as a prostate cancer treatment. The phase 2 TerbinaPro trial is evaluating terbinafine in men whose prostate cancer has returned biochemically after previous treatment. Behind this unusual drug-repurposing trial lies an intriguing discovery about how prostate cancer produces cholesterol. The target […]

LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hello fellow warriors! Summer is over, research publishing has picked up again, and this week we have plenty of interesting information to read! Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you prefer to listen to the […]

Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer May Not Mean the End of PSMA

Prostate cancer that develops neuroendocrine features is commonly associated with loss of androgen-receptor dependence and reduced PSMA expression, potentially making PSMA-targeted treatments less useful. A new dual-tracer imaging study suggests that the reality may be considerably more complicated. Researchers retrospectively examined eight men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were suspected of developing treatment-emergent neuroendocrine […]

PET-Guided Radiotherapy Shows Lasting Control of Recurrent Prostate Cancer

A new retrospective study with a 10-year follow-up suggests that some men with prostate cancer recurring only in lymph nodes may achieve prolonged disease control using PET-directed radiotherapy combined with temporary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The retrospective study included 93 men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that had returned in pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph nodes after […]

Phase 1 Trial for SNV1521 PARP1 Inhibitor in mCRPC aka mAPMR Prostate Cancer

A next-generation PARP inhibitor called SNV1521 is showing early signs of activity in advanced prostate cancer, while potentially causing less bone-marrow toxicity than existing PARP drugs. SNV1521 is an oral drug designed to selectively inhibit PARP1 while largely sparing PARP2. Current PARP inhibitors such as olaparib inhibit both proteins, and suppression of PARP2 is thought […]

Tracking Response and Resistance to Lu-177 Plus Immunotherapy

A new analysis of the PRINCE clinical trial suggests that combining blood-based ctDNA testing with PSMA PET could help identify which men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are most likely to respond to Lu-177 PSMA plus immunotherapy. PRINCE was a multicentre Phase 1/2 trial involving 37 men with mCRPC. Patients received up to six […]
