A promising new experimental drug called NEOK001 (also known as ABL206) is emerging as a potential therapy for advanced cancers that express two specific proteins on their surface: B7‑H3 and ROR1. Among these cancers, prostate cancer is one of the tumor types where early data already show signs of activity, making NEOK001 a candidate of […]
Eating a healthier diet after a prostate cancer diagnosis may help men age with more strength and resilience, according to a large prospective observational U.S. study that will be presented at the AACR 2026 meeting. The analysis followed more than five thousand men from the Health Professionals Follow‑up Study who were not frail when they […]
A large international pooled analysis of over twelve thousand men with prostate cancer adds substantial evidence that men who have higher circulating levels of vitamin D before their diagnosis tend to live longer after developing the disease. The study, which will be presented at AACR Annual Meeting 2026, focused on 25‑hydroxyvitamin D, the major blood […]
LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! This week the focus is on preclinical research. The fact that the AACR Annual Meeting 2026 is starting in less than a month means there are a lot of interesting new developments in the preclinical field. I’ll try to […]
JMKX007129 is a new small‑molecule drug that targets the N‑terminal domain (NTD) of the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. It is designed to overcome resistance seen with current AR‑ligand binding domain (LBD) inhibitors, which often stop working in castration‑resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) when AR develops mutations or produces splice variants like AR‑V7. JMKX007129 builds […]
AUTOTACs (Autophagy‑Targeting Chimeras), are molecules designed to force cancer cells to “clean up” and destroy the androgen receptor (AR), a key driver of prostate cancer growth and progression. The latest research on two second‑generation AR‑targeting AUTOTACs, ATB‑238 and ATB‑239, shows that these compounds can effectively degrade not only the normal AR but also its troublesome […]
RAX104 is a small molecule ligand designed specifically to target PSMA, the protein that is highly expressed on the surface of prostate cancer cells. When labeled with ²²⁵Ac, it forms a radioligand that combines the physical advantages of actinium‑225 (high linear energy transfer and a 10‑day half‑life) with a ligand engineered for better tumor retention. […]
HLX3902 is a STEAP1×CD3×CD28 trispecific T‑cell engager developed as a potential first‑in‑class immunotherapy for prostate cancer. Prostate tumors are largely “cold” from an immunological standpoint. The microenvironment is immunosuppressive, T cells are scarce inside the tumor mass, and those that do infiltrate often burn out quickly after activation. Classical CD3‑only bispecific TCEs can force T […]
Chemical‑induced proximity (CIP) strategies have expanded the therapeutic toolbox by modulating protein–protein interactions, but classical approaches such as PROTACs and molecular glues often force unnatural pairings or stabilize existing interfaces, leading to variable or unpredictable effects. Domain‑ALTeration Chimeras (DALTACs) take a different path: instead of degrading targets or reinforcing native contacts, they selectively miswire endogenous […]
A new experimental drug called TBI‑001 targets a protein called TRIB2 in advanced prostate cancer that has become resistant to hormone therapy and starts acquiring neuroendocrine features. This is particularly relevant for treatment‑emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t‑NEPC), a lethal subtype that arises after long‑term androgen‑receptor–targeted therapy, loses dependence on AR signaling, and adopts a neuroendocrine […]
