Newsletter 51/2025

LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! We’ve almost reached Newsletter number 52, and new trials and research keep coming in. Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you prefer to […]

Phase 3 InavoPC Trial of Inavolisib for mCRPC

A Phase 3 clinical trial is evaluating Inavolisib, a precision oncology drug, for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).. The InavoPC trial offers a distinct approach: combining a PI3K inhibitor with continued hormonal therapy to address a fundamental biological mechanism of treatment resistance. Inavolisib is a highly selective inhibitor of the PI3Kα kinase enzyme. […]

GVV858: A New Approach to Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Phase 1/2 Trial

GVV858 is a CDK2 inhibitor designed to block this escape route. Instead of adding another hormone therapy when resistance develops, it targets the cell cycle machinery that CCNE1-amplified tumors depend on. The drug works on the molecular brakes that control when cells divide, rather than trying to manipulate hormone levels further. CCNE1 amplification allows cancer […]

UPDATE: AB-3028 Reaches Clinical Trial Stage for mCRPC

AB-3028, programmable circuit T cell therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), has now advanced into a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. This marks the first clinical testing of this highly engineered, logic‑gated CAR-T platform in prostate cancer, moving it from a purely preclinical concept into human evaluation. The trial should start recruiting in January 2026. […]

Researchers Explain How Prostate Cancer Can Survive Androgen Blockade

A research from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine shows that prostate cancer cells can synthesize androgens through an alternative pathway that does not rely on CYP17A1, the enzyme at the core of virtually all modern androgen deprivation strategies. Instead of flowing through the classical cholesterol → pregnenolone […]

UPDATE: AO-252, a New First-in-Class Brain-Penetrating TACC3 Inhibitor for Prostate Cancer

A new drug called AO-252, an oral inhibitor of TACC3, is now in phase 1 trials specifically testing it against prostate cancer among other solid tumors. It smartly blocks TACC3’s key partnerships with proteins like KIFC1, clathrin, BRCA1, and others, triggering mitotic disasters and halting growth in both lab models and early patients (some saw tumors […]

GSK5764227: An Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting B7-H3 Enters Phase 1/2 Trial

GSK5764227 represents a promising advancement in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This antibody-drug conjugate targets B7-H3, a protein overexpressed on prostate cancer cells, delivering a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload directly to tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Early data from broader solid tumor studies show the drug’s monotherapy potential, with objective response rates […]

MHB048C: A New PSMA-Targeted Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

MHB048C is an investigational antibody–drug conjugate designed to target prostate‑specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on tumor cells and selectively deliver a DNA topoisomerase I–inhibiting cytotoxic payload. By combining a PSMA‑directed antibody with a potent payload, the drug aims to exploit the high and relatively restricted expression of this surface antigen in advanced prostate cancer and in […]
