ARREST trial could change mCRPC treatment by solving 177Lu-PSMA’s biggest limitation: up to 50% of patients get little benefit despite FDA approval and proven survival gains. The simple idea? Add targeted external beam radiation boosts to the tumors that radioligand therapy misses, creating a hybrid approach that could cut skeletal complications dramatically. Current 177Lu-PSMA therapy […]
ALCO5 is a new way of building “smart” cancer drugs that combine an antibody with a powerful medicine in a single, targeted package. The aim is to hit cancer cells much harder while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible, and to do this with drug types that previously could not be used in these […]
A retrospective cohort study published January 2, 2026, in JAMA Network Open compared docetaxel rechallenge to cabazitaxel in 669 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system from 2010 to 2023. All patients had received at least three cycles of initial docetaxel without disease progression and then one intervening systemic […]
Opevesostat, a first-in-class CYP11A1 inhibitor, blocks the first step of steroid hormone production, eliminating all ligands that activate mutant androgen receptors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The Phase 3 MK-5684-004 trial tests it against standard next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs, like abiraterone, enzalutamide, …) switching in 1,500 patients progressed on one prior NHA, with rPFS […]
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 […]
