Prostate cancer usually responds poorly to immunotherapy because the tumor hides from the immune system, earning the label of an “immune‑cold” cancer. A new RNA‑targeted CRISPR technology developed at Duke University School of Medicine and collaborating institutions re‑exposes these tumors to immune attack in mice by restoring a key protein complex on cancer cells that […]
A new preclinical study shows that radioligand therapy (RLT) can directly enhance CAR‑T cell efficacy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), addressing two major barriers: antigen heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Researchers combined 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 (Pluvicto) with PSCA-targeted CAR‑T cells in sequence (RLT → cyclophosphamide → CAR‑T). Compared to either treatment alone, the combination […]
A recent study published in Small presents a novel way to treat bone metastases by combining nanotechnology, ultrasound, and immune activation into a single strategy. While the science behind it is complex, the concept is simple: create tiny particles that travel to bone tumors and, when activated by ultrasound, generate a highly localized anti-cancer effect. […]
Umeå University reports a novel fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks oncogenic signaling through the TGF‑β receptor I (TβRI), producing striking inhibition of both tumor growth and metastatic spread in aggressive prostate cancer models, according to a study published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy. The antibody is composed entirely of human proteins, reducing immunogenicity […]
A novel therapeutic strategy combining PARP inhibition with selective T-cell receptor β chain activation is showing promising potential to overcome immune resistance in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This approach pairs olaparib, a well-established PARP inhibitor, with a bifunctional T-cell agonist (STAR0602) designed to selectively expand specific T-cell subsets through targeted delivery of interleukin-2. Prostate […]
For years, advanced prostate cancer has been the textbook example of an “immunologically cold” tumor: it doesn’t provoke a strong immune response, carries few mutations that help the immune system recognize cancer, and is packed with cells that actively suppress immunity. Because of this, immune checkpoint inhibitors have largely failed in this disease. Against this […]
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have transformed therapy in several malignancies, but in advanced prostate cancer they have mostly been evaluated for direct tumor cytotoxicity, with little attention to immune mechanisms that might underpin durable responses. A recent study introduces a new STEAP1‑targeted ADC platform built on vandortuzumab, an antibody directed at six‑transmembrane epithelial antigen of the […]
Adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has worked well in some blood cancers, but it has been much less effective in solid tumors like prostate cancer. One reason is the strong cytokine release and strong immune suppression in the tumor area. A new study has designed a PSMA‑targeted CAR that uses CD16A, […]
A new generation of PSMA-targeted T-cell engagers is emerging with a clear goal: preserve the potency seen in hematologic malignancies while overcoming the safety and efficacy barriers that have limited success in solid tumors. A preclinical candidate, ProTCE-PSMA, presented ahead of IND filing in early 2026, illustrates how rapidly this field is evolving beyond first-generation […]
AM109 is designed as a bispecific agent that links a PSMA‑targeting humanized antibody to a CD137 (4‑1BB)‑targeting affibody, effectively creating a molecular bridge between prostate cancer cells and T cells in the tumor microenvironment. The rationale is straightforward: by restricting CD137 activation to sites where PSMA is expressed, the therapy aims to drive potent anti‑tumor […]
