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 Trial: Optimal PSA-Triggered Intermittent Therapy for mHSPC

This Phase II study 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 as fatigue, […]

Phase 3 Trial: Xaluritamig (AMG 509) Plus Abiraterone in mCRPC

A large international Phase 3 clinical trial  is evaluating a new treatment combination for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have not yet undergone chemotherapy (in castration resistant settings, prior chemo is allowed). The study is testing xaluritamig (AMG 509) together with abiraterone acetate against the investigator’s choice of standard therapies (docetaxel, cabazitaxel, […]

UPDATE: Phase 1 Trial of Alpha Radioligand Therapy AB001 in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

A new Phase 1 clinical study, known as the ARTISAN trial, is evaluating an investigational lead-212 alpha radioligand therapy targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We discussed AB001 in a previous article; the trial has now been approved, and its full details are available. The therapy combines a […]

Phase 1/2 Study: New Combination Therapy Combines Tulmimetostat (DZR123) and JSB462 (aka Luxdegalutamide aka ARV-766)

AMPLITUDE: a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Niraparib Combined with Abiraterone Acetate for HRR-Deficient Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

LUNAR Trial Shows Combination Therapy Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Recurrent Prostate Cancer
