LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! Here I am again! This week has been full of very interesting and positive news. The momentum continues! Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you prefer to listen to the newsletter, you can […]
A new Phase 1 clinical trial is testing A-CAR032, a CAR-T cell therapy, in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC. This first-in-human study targets STEAP2, a protein found on nearly all prostate cancer cells, including those that have spread to bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer creates a tough environment for immune cells […]
SL-28 is a new type of donor cell therapy called Leukocyte-Tells. These cells come from healthy donors and get prepared outside the body to better fight cancer. They make more cancer-killing compounds, eat tumor cells, release enzymes, produce helpful signals, and move well toward tumors. Unlike other cell therapies, SL-28 does not need to match […]
The latest interim update from the SECuRE trial reinforces the impression that copper‑67 PSMA targeting is emerging as a credible contender in the mCRPC radioligand space, with consistent PSA responses and a clean safety profile in a small but challenging population. The Safety Review Committee has endorsed continuation of the Phase 2 cohort expansion without […]
STEAP1 is a protein that sits on the surface of many prostate cancer cells, especially in advanced metastatic disease. Because it is abundant on cancer cells and much less present in normal tissues, STEAP1 looks like a promising “flag” that engineered immune cells can use to distinguish tumor from healthy organs. The treatment being […]
Doctors treating advanced prostate cancer start patients on hormone therapy plus a drug called an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, or ARPI. These drugs work well for most men, but doctors must wait six months to check if the PSA blood level drops very low, to 0.2 nanograms per milliliter or less. This low PSA strongly […]
The ANDROMEDA trial, a first-in-human Phase 1/2 study, is evaluating AZD9750, a novel androgen receptor (AR) PROTAC, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PROTACs represent a paradigm shift in targeted therapy: unlike traditional AR inhibitors that merely block the receptor’s activity, AZD9750 recruits cellular machinery to completely degrade the AR protein, potentially overcoming […]
Note: This article treats GSK5471713 as an androgen receptor (AR) degrader based on GSK’s official clinical trial registry classification and inclusion/exclusion criteria. While confident in the AR degrader designation from the sponsor’s documentation, the specific degradation mechanism (PROTAC, SARD, or other platform) remains undisclosed in publicly available sources at the moment. GSK5471713 is an investigational […]
Researchers at Tsinghua University in China have created DrugCLIP, an AI system that finds potential new medicines millions of times faster than old methods. Traditional drug discovery uses slow computer simulations to check if a small molecule fits into a protein’s binding pocket, the spot where drugs attach to block or change a protein’s action […]
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have achieved a major advance in stem cell engineering by developing a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells in a controlled lab environment. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal Cell Stem Cell, tackles a persistent obstacle in cell therapy production, making treatments more affordable […]
