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 […]

Phase 3 PSMAddition Trial Reports Positive Outcomes for mHSPC

Results from the PSMAddition trial were published in a phase 3 setting and showed several clear numbers worth noting. The trial compared standard double hormone-based treatment alone (ADT + ARPI) versus the same treatment plus a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (Pluvicto), in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.The biggest headline was a 58% lower risk of […]

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 Trial: GTB-5550, Another B7-H3 NK-targeted Therapy for mCRPC

GTB-5550 has begun Phase 1 clinical testing in solid tumors, marking the first patient dosing in a dose-escalation basket study. The trial is starting with prostate cancer, a setting where B7-H3 is reportedly highly expressed and where treatment options remain limited in the metastatic castration-resistant stage. The therapy is being delivered subcutaneously, which is notable […]

Phase 1 Trial: INR731 for mCRPC

INR731 is an oral, investigational anticancer drug now entering first‑in‑human testing for men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It is being evaluated in a global, open‑label Phase 1 study with the primary goal of defining its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and a recommended dose for further development, rather than demonstrating efficacy at this stage. […]

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; […]

UPDATE: PSMA‑Targeted CAR‑NK Cells for mCRPC Shows Promising Results

A new, promising concept was explored for men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer: PSMA‑targeted CAR‑NK cells engineered to be an off‑the‑shelf immunotherapy that aims to combine targeted tumor killing with a safer toxicity profile. The work, presented at AUA 2026 meeting, comes from investigators affiliated with the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, who […]
