LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! Here I am again! I think research is still a bit on holiday in terms of the number of studies, but the quality of the trials expected to start in 2026 looks very high. Let’s take a look at […]
Copanlisib combined with rucaparib demonstrates tolerability and early signals of activity in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), according to results from the BrUOG360 phase Ib/II trial published in late 2025. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) responds to PARP inhibitors like rucaparib, but many patients develop resistance through alternative DNA repair pathways. […]
Sapu-003, a nanoparticle-formulated version of everolimus delivered via a new platform (Deciparticle) has received approval for first-in-human Phase 1 testing in breast cancer patients, representing a major advance in intravenous oncology drug delivery. Unlike the standard oral everolimus tablet, which achieves only 10-20% bioavailability due to extensive first-pass metabolism and gastrointestinal degradation, the Deciparticle platform […]
ADI-212 is a new type of immune cell therapy made from gamma delta T cells, the kind of immune cells that naturally go after tumors. These cells are specially engineered to attack PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The therapy has two smart upgrades. First, it carries a special version of IL-12, a powerful immune signal, […]
PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) has transformed treatment for end-stage prostate cancer, offering strong tumor control in patients who have exhausted other options. However, these therapies frequently cause severe salivary gland damage, leading to debilitating dry mouth that often forces patients to stop treatment early. To overcome this, researchers at Case Western Reserve University developed PSMA-1-DOTA, […]
Since FDA cleared PT-112 for a pivotal phase 3 trial in May 2025 (we talked about it here) following a successful end-of-phase-2 meeting, fresh insights illuminate why this novel platinum-based agent merits excitement for late-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PT-112 stands apart from traditional platinums: its pyrophosphate structure drives osteotropism (high bone accumulation alongside […]
Targeting FOXA1 and FOXA2 in castration-resistant prostate cancer represents a new way of attacking the disease at the level of its lineage “identity” rather than only at the androgen receptor. FOXA1 and FOXA2 belong to a family of pioneer transcription factors. These pioneer transcription factors unlock tightly packed DNA, creating access for other proteins that […]
LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! Here I am again! The first newsletter of 2026. It’s particularly rich in preclinical research, just to get a sense of where we’re heading in the near future. Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast […]
The KAIST team has introduced a highly innovative form of cancer immunotherapy that turns the body’s own macrophages into potent, targeted cancer killers directly inside solid tumours. Instead of the classic, laborious route of extracting immune cells from a patient, engineering them in a lab, expanding them, and reinfusing them, this approach reprograms macrophages already […]
A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a new artificial intelligence model that could change how personalized cancer vaccines are designed. For decades, most cancer vaccine strategies have focused on training the immune system’s T cells to attack tumors quickly and directly, which can shrink tumors but […]
