UPDATE: ABBV-969 Shows Strong Molecular Responses in Advanced Prostate Cancer

New biomarker data provide additional evidence of the preliminary activity of ABBV-969, an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to target both PSMA and STEAP1 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The findings come from the ongoing Phase 1 study, involving 49 heavily pretreated patients who had received a median of five previous treatment lines. Most […]

UPDATE: ²²⁵Ac-LNC1011 Achieves 86.7% PSA50 Response in Early mCRPC Study

New results presented at EANM 2026 provide further evidence of the preliminary clinical activity of ²²⁵Ac-LNC1011, an experimental PSMA-targeted alpha radioligand therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We have previously discussed this therapy in this post. Following the initial results, the new prospective study includes 15 patients previously treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors […]

ZZ-FIRST Trial: Adding Talazoparib to Enzalutamide Shows No Clear Additional Benefit in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

A randomised phase 2 trial published in Nature Medicine has investigated whether adding the PARP inhibitor talazoparib to enzalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can improve outcomes in men with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), regardless of their homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutation status. The study, known as ZZ-FIRST enrolled 54 patients across eight […]

New PSMA Radiohybrid Combines PET Imaging With Alpha Therapy

A new preclinical study published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine has investigated rhPSMA-10.1, a radiohybrid compound designed to combine PET imaging with targeted alpha therapy for prostate cancer. The approach uses two closely related versions of the same PSMA-targeting molecule: ¹⁸F/La-rhPSMA-10.1 for PET imaging and ²²⁵Ac-rhPSMA-10.1 for treatment. Their similar chemical properties could allow […]

Phase 2 Trial Tests Tinengotinib With Darolutamide or Enzalutamide in Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer

A newly registered phase 2 clinical trial will investigate whether combining tinengotinib (TT-00420) with darolutamide or enzalutamide can improve disease control in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Tinengotinib is an oral multikinase inhibitor targeting several pathways involved in cancer growth and survival, including FGFR, JAK, VEGFR and Aurora kinases. Unlike darolutamide and enzalutamide, […]

Phase 1 Trial Investigates MAO-A Inhibition With ITR-251 to Overcome Prostate Cancer Resistance

A new Phase 1 clinical trial  will investigate ITR-251, an experimental inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), as a potential treatment for advanced solid tumours and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). What makes this investigation unusual is its molecular target. MAO-A is an enzyme best known for breaking down neurotransmitters and other monoamines. However, research […]

Phase 1/2 Trial Combines GI-102 With Pasritamig to Strengthen T-Cell Immunotherapy in Advanced Prostate Cancer

A newly registered phase 1/2 clinical trial will investigate whether combining two immunotherapies with complementary mechanisms can improve treatment outcomes in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study, known as JET-201, plans to enrol 107 patients in the United States and South Korea. The combination brings together pasritamig (JNJ-78278343), a bispecific antibody designed […]

UPDATE: LUNAR Trial Follow-Up Strengthens Case for Earlier PSMA Radioligand Therapy

Longer follow-up from the randomized phase 2 LUNAR trial suggests that PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy may do more than simply delay progression when used early in men with oligorecurrent hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. LUNAR enrolled 92 men whose prostate cancer had returned after previous treatment, with one to five metastases visible on PSMA PET/CT. Importantly, patients were […]

Doxycycline Shows Preclinical Activity Against Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis

A new preclinical study suggests that doxycycline, a widely used antibiotic, may help interfere with the process that allows prostate cancer cells to spread and grow in bone. The researchers identified acetylated KLF5 (Ac-KLF5) as an important driver of bone metastasis. This altered form of KLF5 appears to make prostate cancer cells more invasive and […]
