A-DREAM Trial Suggests Some Men with Metastatic Prostate Cancer May Stop Therapy Safely for a Time

A new phase 2 study, A-DREAM / Alliance A032101, suggests that a carefully selected group of men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer may be able to interrupt androgen deprivation therapy and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor after achieving an excellent response, while still maintaining a treatment-free interval. The study met its primary endpoint, with 41% […]

Phase 2 TALENT Trial: Talazoparib as Monotherapy or With Enzalutamide in HRR-deficient mCRPC

The TALENT trial is a randomized, open‑label, phase 2 trial evaluating whether adding enzalutamide to talazoparib improves outcomes compared with talazoparib alone in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alterations and have progressed after abiraterone‑based therapy. The trial builds on the phase 3 TALAPRO‑2 results, which showed […]

CONVERGE-01: CONV01-α Shows Activity After Lu-PSMA in mCRPC

Actinium-225 rosopatamab tetraxetan (CONV01-α) is a PSMA-targeted alpha radioligand therapy being tested in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have already received androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, up to one taxane regimen, and 1–6 cycles of lutetium-177 PSMA therapy (Pluvicto), with all patients having PSMA PET–positive disease by VISION criteria. The drug links an alpha […]

BAT Before Sipuleucel-T in mCRPC: Immune Priming?

Bipolar androgen therapy (BAT) given before sipuleucel‑T appears to increase the rate and magnitude of PA2024‑specific immune responses in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), compared with historical sipuleucel‑T data. The central interpretation is not that BAT by itself generates this immune response, but that BAT may prime the tumor and immune environment so […]

Darolutamide Linked to Cognitive Benefit Over Enzalutamide in Prostate Cancer

Darolutamide (Nubeqa) caused significantly less cognitive decline than enzalutamide (Xtandi) over 24 weeks in men with advanced prostate cancer, according to results from the phase 2 ARACOG trial, which are scheduled to be presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting. The findings represent the first randomized, prospective head-to-head comparison of the cognitive effects of two […]

ARASEC Trial Validates Darolutamide Plus ADT in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

The ARASEC trial, offers compelling evidence for darolutamide combined with androgen deprivation therapy as a treatment option for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. This Phase 2 study tackled a challenging ethical dilemma in modern clinical trial design: how to evaluate a new treatment when randomizing patients to receive only standard ADT would be considered […]

Targeted Alpha Therapy Plus PARP Blockade: AZD2265 plus AZD9574 for Advanced Prostate Cancer

There is a new flexible trial for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. Phase 1/2 PROSPECTOR trial tests three options: a PSMA‑targeted radioactive drug (AZD2265), the same drug combined with a PARP1 inhibitor (AZD9574), and standard docetaxel chemotherapy. The first part of the trial finds safe dose levels and […]

Phase 1/2 Trial for GDC‑1261 in Advanced Prostate Cancer

GDC‑1261 is a new study drug being tested in men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer in a first‑in‑human Phase 1/2 trial. The public description of the study states that the main goals are to evaluate the safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti‑tumor activity of GDC‑1261 and to identify a recommended dose and dosing schedule […]

Phase 1/2 Update: Concurrent Enzalutamide–Cabazitaxel Produces Durable PFS Signal in mCRPC

The updated Phase 1/2 data for concurrent enzalutamide plus cabazitaxel in chemo‑naïve mCRPC show deep biochemical responses and a promising signal for progression‑free outcomes, but the dataset remains hypothesis‑generating. In a multi‑institutional single‑arm trial of enzalutamide with cabazitaxel (plus prednisone), 35 patients were included in the efficacy analysis with a median follow‑up of 23.7 months; […]

TLX597-Tx Shows Early Promise in a Phase 2 PSMA Trial for Prostate Cancer

TLX597-Tx (177Lu-DOTA-HYNIC-panPSMA) is emerging as a next-generation PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy designed to deliver radiation more precisely to prostate cancer cells while limiting exposure to healthy organs. New data from the OPTIMAL-PSMA trial suggest that the drug may achieve strong tumor uptake with relatively low dose to the salivary glands and kidneys, two of the main […]
