ENZARAD Trial Shows Selective Gains for Node-Positive Prostate Cancer With Enzalutamide Intensification

/in , , /by

The final results of the phase 3 ENZARAD study, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025, reveal that intensifying androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with enzalutamide does not significantly improve metastasis-free survival (MFS) in the overall population of men with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Conducted across eight countries and […]

Pluvicto extends disease control in advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

/in , , /by

The Phase III PSMAddition trial presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress marks a meaningful advance in the treatment of prostate cancer that still responds to hormonal therapy but has already spread to distant sites. In this study, patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer received the radioligand therapy Pluvicto […]

Phase 1/2 AlphaBet Trial: Promising Combination of Lutetium-177 PSMA-I&T and Radium-223 in Advanced Prostate Cancer

/in , , , /by

A novel therapeutic approach combining lutetium-177 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and radium-223 (223Ra) shows encouraging results for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), as demonstrated in the recently reported AlphaBet trial published in The Lancet Oncology in October 2025. This phase 1/2 AlphaBet study is the first to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the […]

ARASAFE Trial Offers Safer Docetaxel-Darolutamide-ADT Regimen for mHSPC

/in , , /by

Recent data presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress reveal a promising new treatment schedule for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The phase 3 ARASAFE trial evaluated an alternative docetaxel dosing regimen combined with darolutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), showing significant reductions in severe toxicities while maintaining effective […]

Phase 1/2 PETRANHA Trial Update: Promising Results Reported at ESMO 2025

/in , , , /by

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

/in , , /by

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 OPTIMAS Trial: Optimal PSA-Triggered Intermittent Therapy for mHSPC

/in , , /by

This Phase II study (OPTIMAS trial) 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 […]

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

/in , , /by

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, […]

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 […]
