ADVC001: Lead-212 PSMA Alpha Therapy Shows Safety and Efficacy in mCRPC Trial

At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025 in Berlin, new clinical data from a Phase 1b dose escalation trial investigating ADVC001, a novel Lead-212-based PSMA-targeted alpha therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) was presented. The therapy utilizes a radioactive isotope, Lead-212, to deliver targeted alpha radiation to prostate cancer cells, aiming […]

Phase 3 PRESTO Trial Results: Apalutamide Extends Progression Free Survival

The PRESTO trial, a phase 3 open-label study, evaluated androgen blockade intensification in patients with high-risk biochemically relapsed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. This population featured rapid PSA doubling times and no detectable metastases. The study randomized 504 patients to 52 weeks of treatment with either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone, ADT plus apalutamide, or […]

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

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

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

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

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

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, […]
