Dapagliflozin and Next-Generation Hormonal Agents: Targeting Metabolic Resistance in Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer

/in , , /by

A new phase 2 clinical trial is now underway to test whether adding dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, to next-generation hormonal agents (darolutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide) can extend survival in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. The rationale rests on a fundamental paradox in prostate cancer biology: while early tumors rely on oxidative metabolism and androgen signaling, […]

GVV858: A New Approach to Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Phase 1/2 Trial

/in , , , /by

GVV858 is a CDK2 inhibitor designed to block this escape route. Instead of adding another hormone therapy when resistance develops, it targets the cell cycle machinery that CCNE1-amplified tumors depend on. The drug works on the molecular brakes that control when cells divide, rather than trying to manipulate hormone levels further. CCNE1 amplification allows cancer […]

UPDATE: AB-3028 Reaches Clinical Trial Stage for mCRPC

/in , , , /by

AB-3028, programmable circuit T cell therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), has now advanced into a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. This marks the first clinical testing of this highly engineered, logic‑gated CAR-T platform in prostate cancer, moving it from a purely preclinical concept into human evaluation. The trial should start recruiting in January 2026. […]

GSK5764227: An Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting B7-H3 Enters Phase 1/2 Trial

/in , , , /by

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

/in , , , /by

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 […]

CONVERT‑HB1: a Phase 2 Trial About Prostate Directed Treatment After Systemic Treatment in mHSPC

/in , , /by

CONVERT‑HB1 trial addresses a long‑standing uncertainty in metastatic hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer: whether aggressively treating the primary prostate tumor adds meaningful benefit for patients who already have high‑volume metastatic disease and are receiving modern intensified systemic therapy. For years, data from studies like STAMPEDE and HORRAD suggested that local treatment to the prostate might help men […]

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

/in , , , /by

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 […]

REVELUTION Trial: GnRH Antagonists Show Less Coronary Plaque Progression Than Agonists in Prostate Cancer ADT

/in , , /by

Relugolix showed less coronary plaque progression than leuprolide in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy with prostate cancer and pelvic radiotherapy, according to the REVELUTION trial. The prospective study enrolled 94 ADT-naïve men from June 2022 to March 2024, with 90 completing analysis across three arms: radiotherapy alone (n=28), radiotherapy plus leuprolide (n=31), and radiotherapy plus […]

Phase 1/2 Trial: Valemetostat Plus Darolutamide in mCRPC

/in , , , /by

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). […]
