Alliance A222001 Phase 2 Trial: Oxybutynin Looks Promising for Hot Flashes in Men Under ADT

The Alliance A222001 study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in January 2026, found that oxybutynin, a drug typically used to treat overactive bladder, significantly reduces hot flashes in men receiving androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), with improvements occurring within the first week of treatment and sustained throughout the study period. The findings could reshape how […]

Phase 1/2 JASPER Trial: Ruxolitinib Plus Enzalutamide for mCRPC

The JASPER trial is a phase 1/2 study launching from the University of Michigan, takes a fundamentally different approach to castration-resistant prostate cancer by targeting the molecular machinery driving cancer plasticity from the start: the JAK/STAT inflammatory signaling axis. Understanding why this strategy makes biological sense requires stepping into what we now know about how […]

ANDROMEDA Trial: Alpha vs. Beta PSMA Therapy

The ANDROMEDA phase 2 trial represents an advancement in managing recurrent oligometastatic prostate cancer by directly pitting alpha-emitting 225Ac-PSMA-617 against the established beta-emitting 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto), both combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). This head-to-head comparison stems from the need to address limitations in current therapies for patients whose cancer returns in 1-5 detectable spots on […]

Preliminary Data From a Phase 1/2 Trial of PDS01ADC Plus Docetaxel in mCRPC

Preliminary results from an ongoing phase 1/2 trial combining docetaxel with the tumor-targeting IL-12 immunocytokine PDS01ADC  (aka M9241) indicate promising early activity in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The single-arm study, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research special conference on prostate cancer research, enrolled 16 patients with progressive mCRPC, most of […]

ARREST Trial: Precision Radiation Boosts to Fix 177Lu-PSMA’s 50% Failure Rate

ARREST trial could change mCRPC treatment by solving 177Lu-PSMA’s biggest limitation: up to 50% of patients get little benefit despite FDA approval and proven survival gains. The simple idea? Add targeted external beam radiation boosts to the tumors that radioligand therapy misses, creating a hybrid approach that could cut skeletal complications dramatically. Current 177Lu-PSMA therapy […]

SL-28 Phase 1/2 Trial: A Potential Breakthrough for Advanced Solid Tumors

SL-28 is a new type of donor cell therapy called Leukocyte-Tells. These cells come from healthy donors and get prepared outside the body to better fight cancer. They make more cancer-killing compounds, eat tumor cells, release enzymes, produce helpful signals, and move well toward tumors. Unlike other cell therapies, SL-28 does not need to match […]

UPDATE: SECuRE Trial Phase 2 Shows 67% PSA50 Response in Heavily Pre-Treated mCRPC

The latest interim update from the SECuRE trial reinforces the impression that copper‑67 PSMA targeting is emerging as a credible contender in the mCRPC radioligand space, with consistent PSA responses and a clean safety profile in a small but challenging population. The Safety Review Committee has endorsed continuation of the Phase 2 cohort expansion without […]

Phase 1 Trial: STEAP1 CAR‑T Plus Enzalutamide A New Immune Approach for mCRPC

STEAP1 is a protein that sits on the surface of many prostate cancer cells, especially in advanced metastatic disease. Because it is abundant on cancer cells and much less present in normal tissues, STEAP1 looks like a promising “flag” that engineered immune cells can use to distinguish tumor from healthy organs. ​ The treatment being […]

ANDROMEDA: Phase 1/2 Trial of AZD9750 AR Degrader in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The ANDROMEDA trial, a first-in-human Phase 1/2 study, is evaluating AZD9750, a novel androgen receptor (AR) PROTAC, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PROTACs represent a paradigm shift in targeted therapy: unlike traditional AR inhibitors that merely block the receptor’s activity, AZD9750 recruits cellular machinery to completely degrade the AR protein, potentially overcoming […]

GSK5471713: An Investigational AR Degrader Targeting Late-Stage Prostate Cancer Resistance

Note: This article treats GSK5471713 as an androgen receptor (AR) degrader based on GSK’s official clinical trial registry classification and inclusion/exclusion criteria. While confident in the AR degrader designation from the sponsor’s documentation, the specific degradation mechanism (PROTAC, SARD, or other platform) remains undisclosed in publicly available sources at the moment. GSK5471713 is an investigational […]
