LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hello fellow warriors! Ok, the AACR 2026 meeting has passed, but in a month the ASCO 2026 annual meeting will begin. There will be new interesting research to share! Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if […]

Not All Patients Benefit Equally: New Score Refines Cabazitaxel Use

A new analysis reports the development of a simple clinical score that may help physicians better identify which men are most likely to benefit from treatment with cabazitaxel after disease progression on earlier therapies. The work, based on a post-hoc analysis of the CABASTY study and validated in two major phase-3 trials, suggests that survival […]

B7‑H3 Expression Shapes Prognosis Differently Across Prostate Cancer Stages

A new observational study of more than 8,000 prostate tumors shows that B7‑H3 (CD276) expression helps shape prognosis and could open new paths for targeted therapies. Researchers analyzed 8,157 prostate cancer samples with matched DNA and RNA data, stratifying them by tissue site, hormone‑sensitivity status, and self‑reported race, then examined how B7‑H3 levels related to […]

Double-Masked PSMA-TCE JANX014 Enters Phase 1 for mCRPC

A novel double-masked T-cell engager targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), called JANX014, has entered phase 1 testing in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The first-in-human, open-label, multicenter trial, which dosed its initial participant in mid-April 2026, evaluates safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early antitumor activity through ascending intravenous doses administered as monotherapy to […]

Phase 1/2 RAISIC‑1 Trial: PTT‑4256 in Advanced Solid Tumors

PTT‑4256 is an emerging first‑in‑class small‑molecule inhibitor of GPR65, a proton‑sensing G‑protein‑coupled receptor selectively expressed on immune cells within the acidic tumour microenvironment. It is being evaluated in the RAISIC‑1 trial, a modular, open‑label, phase 1/2 study in patients with advanced solid tumours designed to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy. The trial’s […]

CEACAM5 Radiotheranostics: A Targeted Strategy for PSMA-Negative, Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

For prostate cancer patients with low expression of PSMA or with neuroendocrine prostate cancer or NEPC (a population growing in size precisely because better treatments are forcing tumors to adapt), a new preclinical study offers a credible precision-targeted strategy: a radiotheranostic pair built on the CEACAM5 surface antigen that produced complete tumor responses in every […]

Phase 1/2 Trial for AZD8359: a CD8-Biased T Cell Engager Targeting STEAP2 in m CRPC

Bispecific T cell engagers, while conceptually powerful, have carried a toxicity profile that constrains their clinical utility. AZD8359, a novel trispecific T cell engager now entering its first-in-human clinical trial, represents a thoughtful attempt to resolve that toxicity problem at the molecular engineering level, and its preclinical data are among the most compelling seen in this […]
