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 […]

BrUOG360 Phase Ib/II Trial: Copanlisib Plus Rucaparib for mCRPC With HRD

Copanlisib combined with rucaparib demonstrates tolerability and early signals of activity in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), according to results from the BrUOG360 phase Ib/II trial published in late 2025. ​Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) responds to PARP inhibitors like rucaparib, but many patients develop resistance through alternative DNA repair pathways. […]

PT-112 Update: Phase 2 Biomarker Findings Pave Way for Phase 3 in End-Stage Prostate Cancer

Since FDA cleared PT-112 for a pivotal phase 3 trial in May 2025 (we talked about it here) following a successful end-of-phase-2 meeting, fresh insights illuminate why this novel platinum-based agent merits excitement for late-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PT-112 stands apart from traditional platinums: its pyrophosphate structure drives osteotropism (high bone accumulation alongside […]

HRS-4357, a Novel PSMA-targeted Radiologand Therapy Phase 3 Trial

HRS-4357, a novel PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceutical, is poised to enter a landmark Phase III clinical trial targeting metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The trial, received approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration on December 23, 2025, and plans to enroll 370 patients across multiple centers in China. This randomized, open-label, controlled study will directly compare HRS-4357 […]

Dapagliflozin and Next-Generation Hormonal Agents: Targeting Metabolic Resistance in Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer

A new phase 2 clinical trial is now underway to test whether adding dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, to next-generation hormonal agents (darolutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide) can extend survival in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. The rationale rests on a fundamental paradox in prostate cancer biology: while early tumors rely on oxidative metabolism and androgen signaling, […]

Phase 1 Trial of Allogeneic CAR-NK Therapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

A new clinical trial is exploring allogeneic CAR-NK cell therapy targeting PSMA for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC. This exploratory study (not yet recruiting as of late 2025), aims to assess the safety profile alongside early signs of efficacy in men whose disease has progressed despite hormone suppression and other therapies. Unlike […]

Metabolic Blockade in Prostate Cancer: Repurposing SGLT2 Inhibitors as Dual Antitumor and Cardio-Protective Therapy

SGLT2 inhibitors, familiar as diabetes medications like dapagliflozin and canagliflozin, show promise against prostate cancer (and other solid tumors) through targeted metabolic disruption that exploits cancer cells’ addiction to glucose. Prostate tumors frequently overexpress SGLT2 transporters, enabling excessive glucose uptake that fuels the Warburg effect, where cancer cells convert glucose to lactate even in oxygen-rich […]

Phase 3 InavoPC Trial of Inavolisib for mCRPC

A Phase 3 clinical trial is evaluating Inavolisib, a precision oncology drug, for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).. The InavoPC trial offers a distinct approach: combining a PI3K inhibitor with continued hormonal therapy to address a fundamental biological mechanism of treatment resistance. Inavolisib is a highly selective inhibitor of the PI3Kα kinase enzyme. […]
