Early Results From a Phase 1 Trial for MRT-2359 Plus Enzalutamide in mCRPC

MRT-2359 is a daily pill that destroys certain cancer-driving proteins, including the androgen receptor (AR), MYC, and Cyclin D1, by blocking a key step in how cells read genetic instructions. This approach targets metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), where AR mutations in the ligand-binding domain (LBD) allow tumors to grow despite hormone-blocking drugs like enzalutamide. […]

Phase 1 PAnTHa Trial: mCRPC First Data

²²⁵Ac‑PSMA‑Trillium (BAY3563254) is an experimental treatment that delivers targeted alpha radiation to prostate cancer cells. It combines a highly selective PSMA‑binding molecule with an albumin‑binding domain that helps it stay in the bloodstream longer and reach tumors more effectively. The radioactive component, actinium‑225, is attached using a stable Macropa chelator to increase safety and stability. […]

BRCAAway OS Update: Abiraterone + Olaparib Extends Survival by 5 Years in HRRm mCRPC

The BRCAAway trial brings strong new data on treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, in patients with specific DNA repair defects known as homologous recombination repair mutations, or HRRm. This phase 2 study tested abiraterone alone, olaparib alone, or the two drugs together as first-line therapy. It focused on patients with germline or somatic […]

pre|CISION Platform Update: AVA6103 Outperforms Leading ADC, Phase 1 Dosing Imminent

Since October 2025, when the pre|CISION platform first demonstrated its potential to deliver dual payloads like MMAE and exatecan from a single molecule in prostate cancer models, significant new data has emerged that strengthens its case as a next-generation targeted therapy. The platform’s ability to exploit fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in the tumor microenvironment for […]

UPDATE: SECuRE Trial, Another Complete Responder

A striking new update from the ongoing SECuRE trial has revealed yet another participant achieving undetectable PSA levels alongside a completely negative PSMA PET scan, underscoring the potential of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA in advanced prostate cancer treatment. This 76-year-old patient, facing progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) 15 years after initial diagnosis, started with a baseline PSA […]

Evolutionary Oncology: A New Research Validates This Approach in Preclinical Models

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Moffitt Cancer Center have uncovered a promising prostate cancer breakthrough: radiation-resistant tumor cells become unexpectedly vulnerable to attack by natural killer (NK) immune cells, presenting a strategic “evolutionary double-bind” that could transform treatment approaches. This discovery challenges traditional views of therapy resistance, showing that when prostate cancer cells adapt […]

UPDATE: VIR-5500 Results From Phase 1 Trial Look Very Promising

Recent clinical data from a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial highlight VIR-5500 as a highly promising therapeutic candidate for patients with heavily pre-treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). VIR-5500 is a dual-masked, bispecific T-cell engager designed to selectively target the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) while minimizing systemic toxicity. The therapy employs a specialized PRO-XTEN masking technology […]

Newsletter 8/2026

LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! We’re right on track! This week there’s a lot to talk about…and ASCO GU 2026 hasn’t even started yet. Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you prefer to listen to the newsletter, you […]

A New Frontier: Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia for Solid Tumors

In November 2025, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota installed the first magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia system in the United States for cancer research. The first patient was treated in December 2025, marking a major step toward bringing a long‑overlooked concept into the modern, heavily pretreated cancer landscape. Hyperthermia, the therapeutic use of heat, has been studied […]

Genomic Alterations and LuPSMA Outcomes in mCRPC: A Prognostic Insight

Genomic alterations like TP53, PTEN, and RB1 mutations are prevalent in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), yet their impact on response to 177Lu-PSMA-617 (LuPSMA, Pluvicto) radioligand therapy remains underexplored. A recent retrospective study published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine analyzed 72 mCRPC patients treated with at least one cycle of LuPSMA between October 2022 […]
