ARTO Trial Final Results: Long-Term Survival Benefit of SBRT Added to Abiraterone in Oligometastatic mCRPC

The phase 2 ARTO trial findings, published on The Lancet, provides stronger evidence that metastasis-directed SBRT can improve outcomes in oligometastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In this randomized study, 157 patients were enrolled across 16 academic and community centers in Italy and assigned 1:1 to abiraterone plus ADT with or without SBRT to all visible metastatic […]

Another Phase 1/2 Trial With SX-682, Combined With Docetaxel This Time

SX-682 is moving into a new clinical context. After an ongoing trial in prostate cancer with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors such as apalutamide and enzalutamide, the CXCR1/2 inhibitor is now being studied with docetaxel in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, and advanced prostate cancer. That matters because docetaxel is not […]

Dual-Targeting PSMA And FRα Drug Conjugate Advances to U.S. Trial for Prostate Cancer

MVB-101 (aka CBP-1018) is a new clinical-stage drug conjugate for prostate cancer simultaneously targets PSMA and folate receptor alpha (FRα) to overcome tumor heterogeneity. The drug is a bivalent peptide-like drug conjugate roughly one-fiftieth the size of a traditional antibody drug conjugate, designed to diffuse more rapidly into solid tumors. It delivers monomethyl auristatin E […]

Phase 2 Trial for 61Cu-NU101 vs 18F-Piflufolastat in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

61Cu-NU101 is a new PSMA-targeted PET/SPECT tracer for prostate cancer that showed promise in phase 1, detecting more lesions than 18F-piflufolastat (Pylarify) in half of the 8 patients studied, with lower background uptake and no side effects. The key advantage is its 3.3-hour half-life, compared to 68 minutes for 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 109 minutes for 18F-piflufolastat. […]

Phase 2 Trial of GV20-0251 With Anti-PD-1 Therapy in mCRPC

GV20-0251 is an experimental antibody that blocks a new immune brake called IGSF8, and this phase 2 study tests it together with anti-PD-1 drugs in people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatment. The goal is to restore early innate immune signaling so checkpoint therapy works better in resistant cancers. From […]

Zanzalintinib After Pluvicto in Chemo‑Naïve mCRPC

Zanzalintinib is being tested after Pluvicto (177Lu-PSMA-617) in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) because it targets several escape routes tumors use once they have survived PSMA‑directed radioligand therapy and prolonged AR pathway blockade. Pluvicto delivers beta radiation to PSMA‑expressing cells, inducing DNA damage and tumor cell death, but progression still occurs and is often driven […]

Zanzalintinib for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Zanzalintinib is a new investigational drug showing activity in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), particularly in patients with soft tissue or visceral metastases who have progressed on prior treatment. A single-arm Phase II trial is evaluating whether zanzalintinib is effective for this difficult-to-treat population. Participants can stay in the study for up to 24 months […]

The MOMENT Trial: Mevrometostat Plus Enzalutamide in Post‑ARPI, Pre‑Abiraterone mCRPC

Mevrometostat is an oral EZH2 inhibitor being developed to overcome resistance to androgen‑receptor–targeted therapy in prostate cancer. In tumors, EZH2 helps switch off tumor‑suppressor genes and supports androgen‑independent growth and lineage plasticity, changes that are strongly linked to progression on drugs like enzalutamide. Adding an EZH2 inhibitor to continued AR blockade is meant to “re‑discipline” […]

B7-H3 ADC YL201 Delivers Encouraging Results in Advanced mCRPC

YL201 aka Tam-Peli (tambotatug pelitecan) , a B7-H3–targeting antibody–drug conjugate, is showing notable activity in advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), including patients who have progressed after androgen receptor–targeted therapy and chemotherapy. In a phase 2 study of 82 heavily pretreated patients, the drug delivered a confirmed PSA50 response rate of 38.5%, an objective response […]

Phase 1/2 Trial: Epigenetic KAT6 Inhibitor Plus Darolutamide in mCRPC

A Phase 1b/2 trial is planned to test the investigational KAT6 inhibitor OP-3136 combined with darolutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). About 36 patients will be enrolled, with the study expected to start in the second half of 2026. The focus is on safety, tolerability, and early signs of anti-tumor activity. OP-3136 blocks KAT6A/B, […]
