LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! This edition of the newsletter will also be mainly focused on preclinical studies that are approaching human trials. The AACR 2026 meeting begins in about twenty days, and updates on ongoing clinical trials will not be available until just […]
Christopher Sweeney is a leading medical oncologist specializing in prostate cancer and a key figure in shaping modern treatment standards for advanced disease. In his ASCO GU 2026 talk he translates decades of clinical‑trial data into a practical, numbers‑driven framework for mHSPC therapy. His talk on metastatic hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is built around a […]
QLS2401 is a trispecific T‑cell engager designed for metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It binds three targets at once: PSMA and STEAP1 on tumor cells, plus CD3 on T cells. This design allows it to physically connect a patient’s T cells to prostate‑cancer cells, triggering T‑cell activation and killing of the tumor. Both PSMA and […]
A new antibody called MQI‑201 is being developed as a potential treatment for advanced solid cancers that respond poorly to existing immunotherapies, such as certain types of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and sarcomas. These tumors are often called “cold” because they have little immune cell infiltration and usually do not benefit from checkpoint inhibitors or […]
A new type of cancer treatment called Bvax is drawing attention in prostate cancer because it may be able to reach inside tumors that are hard to treat with standard immunotherapies. Bvax is made from a patient’s own B cells, which are activated and loaded with tumor‑related proteins, then given back to the body. Once […]
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is being used more often to treat certain solid tumors, such as neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptors and some prostate cancers. One form of PRRT uses a beta‑emitting drug (177Lu‑DOTATATE), which is currently the standard treatment for many of these neuroendocrine tumors. Another, newer approach uses an alpha‑emitting drug […]
ASTX295 is an experimental cancer drug that works by turning on a powerful tumor‑suppressor protein called p53 in cancer cells that still have a normal version of the gene TP53. In many cancers, p53 is not broken but is kept switched off by another protein called MDM2, which constantly tags p53 for destruction. ASTX295 blocks […]
We know that exercise can help reduce the risk of getting prostate cancer and may slow its progression, but exactly how this happens inside the body has remained unclear. A recent study in mice has now uncovered an important new mechanism that links physical exercise to the way tumors behave and how the immune system […]
In advanced prostate cancer, castration‑resistant and neuroendocrine variants present some of the toughest clinical challenges because they often lose dependence on androgen receptor signaling and become refractory to hormone‑targeted therapies. Within this resistant landscape, MUC1‑C, the C‑terminal subunit of the mucin‑1 oncoprotein, emerges as a promising alternative target. MUC1‑C is aberrantly overexpressed and under‑glycosylated in […]
Researchers have developed a new targeted therapy for advanced prostate cancer called JZY‑2233, a degrader‑antibody conjugate that homes in on prostate‑specific membrane antigen (PSMA) while delivering a highly potent CBP/p300 degrader directly to tumor cells. CBP and p300 are transcriptional coactivators that help the androgen receptor drive oncogenic gene programs in prostate cancer, and small‑molecule […]
