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 […]

UPDATE: TD001 a New Potent ADC for Prostate Cancer Expressing PSMA Enters Phase 1/2

TD001, is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate directed against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), developed for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose tumors express PSMA will start recruiting patients for its phase 1/2 clinical trial. Mechanistically, TD001 combines a monoclonal antibody directed against PSMA with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, exatecan, linked through […]

Phase 1 Trial for ITC-6146RO, Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting B7-H3

ITC-6146RO is an experimental cancer drug belonging to the class of antibody–drug conjugates, or ADCs. It received IND Approval from Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (Following U.S. FDA) to start a first‑in‑human Phase 1 trial in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who no longer respond to standard therapies. It has been […]

Phase 1/2 Trial for MK-6070: A Promising Trispecific T-Cell Engager for Neuroendocrine Cancers

MK-6070 is an engineered trispecific T-cell engager designed to target a protein called DLL3, which is predominantly found on certain aggressive neuroendocrine tumors, including prostate cancer. This molecule works by simultaneously binding to DLL3 on tumor cells, the CD3 receptor on T cells, and serum albumin, which extends the drug’s circulation time in the body. […]

UPDATE: Phase 1 GenSci143 Trial Set To Start By The End of December

We have already talked about it here, GenSci143, is a novel bispecific antibody-drug conjugate targeting B7-H3 and PSMA, and a phase 1 trial is set to begin first-in-human clinical trials soon (est. date December 20) in participants with advanced solid tumors, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Recent regulatory approvals were granted by the U.S. FDA […]

Phase 1/2 Trial: Valemetostat Plus Darolutamide in mCRPC

A phase 1/2 clinical trial investigating valemetostat (DS-3201b), a dual EZH1/2 inhibitor, combined with darolutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is going to start to recruit participants. This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the combination in men whose disease has progressed despite prior androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). […]

Phase 1 Trial: 177Lu-DGUL Plus Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in mCRPC

A pivotal clinical trial is underway to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining Lutetium (177Lu) DGUL radioligand therapy with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in patients who have progressed after androgen receptor-targeted therapies but have not yet received chemotherapy. The study enrolls men with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive tumors, with disease […]

GTB-5550: a New Tri-Specific Natural Killer Cell Engager Moving To Clinical Trials

GTB-5550, a novel tri-specific natural killer (NK) cell engager drug designed to target the B7-H3 antigen has shown notable promise in advancing cancer immunotherapy for solid tumors, particularly prostate cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This drug functions by simultaneously binding to CD16 on NK cells, engaging B7-H3 expressed on tumor cells, […]
