Phase 1/2 PETRANHA Trial Update: Promising Results Reported at ESMO 2025

At the 2025 ESMO Congress, new data from the phase 1/2 PETRANHA trial introduced saruparib (AZD5305), a highly selective PARP1 inhibitor, as a potentially safer and more effective therapeutic partner for androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in metastatic prostate cancer. The results highlighted a strong efficacy signal in castration-sensitive disease and ARPI-naïve castration-resistant settings, while […]

Phase 2: Copper-Based PET Imaging Agent Surpasses Standard Tracer for Early Prostate Cancer Lesion Detection

The phase 2 Co-PSMA trial conducted at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney evaluated 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA, a novel copper-based PET imaging agent, against the standard 68Ga-PSMA-11 tracer in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer and low PSA levels. Results showed 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA detected a statistically greater number of PSMA-positive lesions per patient than the standard agent, particularly […]

Phase 2 OPTIMAS Trial: Optimal PSA-Triggered Intermittent Therapy for mHSPC

This Phase II study (OPTIMAS trial) explores a novel approach to treating metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) through PSA-triggered intermittent therapy. Traditionally, men with mHSPC are managed with continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). This strategy has significantly extended survival but often leads to enduring side effects such […]
