There is a new flexible trial for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. Phase 1/2 PROSPECTOR trial tests three options: a PSMA‑targeted radioactive drug (AZD2265), the same drug combined with a PARP1 inhibitor (AZD9574), and standard docetaxel chemotherapy. The first part of the trial finds safe dose levels and […]
GTB-5550 has begun Phase 1 clinical testing in solid tumors, marking the first patient dosing in a dose-escalation basket study. The trial is starting with prostate cancer, a setting where B7-H3 is reportedly highly expressed and where treatment options remain limited in the metastatic castration-resistant stage. The therapy is being delivered subcutaneously, which is notable […]
INR731 is an oral, investigational anticancer drug now entering first‑in‑human testing for men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It is being evaluated in a global, open‑label Phase 1 study with the primary goal of defining its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and a recommended dose for further development, rather than demonstrating efficacy at this stage. […]
GDC‑1261 is a new study drug being tested in men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer in a first‑in‑human Phase 1/2 trial. The public description of the study states that the main goals are to evaluate the safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti‑tumor activity of GDC‑1261 and to identify a recommended dose and dosing schedule […]
Cancer drugs often fail not because they are weak, but because they never reach the exact place they are supposed to act, all the way down to the tiny structures inside tumour cells. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to search for nanoparticles that can carry treatment directly to […]
The updated Phase 1/2 data for concurrent enzalutamide plus cabazitaxel in chemo‑naïve mCRPC show deep biochemical responses and a promising signal for progression‑free outcomes, but the dataset remains hypothesis‑generating. In a multi‑institutional single‑arm trial of enzalutamide with cabazitaxel (plus prednisone), 35 patients were included in the efficacy analysis with a median follow‑up of 23.7 months; […]
Orlistat is a well‑known weight‑loss drug that also blocks a key enzyme cancer cells use to make fats, and researchers have been trying to re‑use it against tumors for years. Recently a team developed a new way to deliver orlistat directly into prostate cancer cells by packing it inside tiny, engineered particles called Cys8E nanoparticles […]
A new, promising concept was explored for men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer: PSMA‑targeted CAR‑NK cells engineered to be an off‑the‑shelf immunotherapy that aims to combine targeted tumor killing with a safer toxicity profile. The work, presented at AUA 2026 meeting, comes from investigators affiliated with the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, who […]
177Lu-D-Dan-Phe-PSMA, also called 177Lu-LNC1011, represents a next-generation PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy designed to improve on existing options like Pluvicto for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Unlike Pluvicto, which clears rapidly through the kidneys and limits sustained tumor exposure, this agent incorporates a dansyl modification for prolonged intratumoral retention while preserving systemic clearance. Early phase 1 results […]
Researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a critical vulnerability in how prostate cancers escape standard hormonal therapy. The study reveals that when androgen receptor signaling is suppressed by ADT or AR pathway inhibitors, cancer cells compensate by ramping up BCL-2, an anti-apoptotic protein that helps them survive treatment. The findings suggest that […]
