Antibody MQI‑201: Turning Cold Tumors Hot in Advanced Cancer

/in /by

A new antibody called MQI‑201 is being developed as a potential treatment for advanced solid cancers that respond poorly to existing immunotherapies, such as certain types of prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and sarcomas. These tumors are often called “cold” because they have little immune cell infiltration and usually do not benefit from checkpoint inhibitors or […]

Bvax in Prostate Cancer: A B‑Cell Therapy That Penetrates Immune‑Excluded Tumors

/in , /by

A new type of cancer treatment called Bvax is drawing attention in prostate cancer because it may be able to reach inside tumors that are hard to treat with standard immunotherapies. Bvax is made from a patient’s own B cells, which are activated and loaded with tumor‑related proteins, then given back to the body. Once […]

Immune‑transcriptomic correlates of response to alpha‑ versus beta‑emitting PRRT in neuroendocrine tumors

/in , /by

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is being used more often to treat certain solid tumors, such as neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptors and some prostate cancers. One form of PRRT uses a beta‑emitting drug (177Lu‑DOTATATE), which is currently the standard treatment for many of these neuroendocrine tumors. Another, newer approach uses an alpha‑emitting drug […]

ASTX295 + Olaparib: A Targeted Strategy for BRCA2‑Mutant, TP53‑Wild‑Type Cancers

/in /by

ASTX295 is an experimental cancer drug that works by turning on a powerful tumor‑suppressor protein called p53 in cancer cells that still have a normal version of the gene TP53. In many cancers, p53 is not broken but is kept switched off by another protein called MDM2, which constantly tags p53 for destruction. ASTX295 blocks […]

How exercise protects the prostate: a new CNTF pathway that calms tumor‑supporting cells and boosts immune attack

/in /by

We know that exercise can help reduce the risk of getting prostate cancer and may slow its progression, but exactly how this happens inside the body has remained unclear. A recent study in mice has now uncovered an important new mechanism that links physical exercise to the way tumors behave and how the immune system […]

MUC1‑C Targeting with XYA02‑8‑ADC, for Castration‑Resistant and Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

/in , /by

In advanced prostate cancer, castration‑resistant and neuroendocrine variants present some of the toughest clinical challenges because they often lose dependence on androgen receptor signaling and become refractory to hormone‑targeted therapies. Within this resistant landscape, MUC1‑C, the C‑terminal subunit of the mucin‑1 oncoprotein, emerges as a promising alternative target. MUC1‑C is aberrantly overexpressed and under‑glycosylated in […]

JZY‑2233: A PSMA‑Targeted Degrader‑Antibody Conjugate for Advanced Prostate Cancer

/in , /by

Researchers have developed a new targeted therapy for advanced prostate cancer called JZY‑2233, a degrader‑antibody conjugate that homes in on prostate‑specific membrane antigen (PSMA) while delivering a highly potent CBP/p300 degrader directly to tumor cells. CBP and p300 are transcriptional coactivators that help the androgen receptor drive oncogenic gene programs in prostate cancer, and small‑molecule […]

NEOK001: A New Bispecific Antibody–Drug Conjugate for Advanced Prostate Cancer

/in , /by

A promising new experimental drug called NEOK001 (also known as ABL206) is emerging as a potential therapy for advanced cancers that express two specific proteins on their surface: B7‑H3 and ROR1. Among these cancers, prostate cancer is one of the tumor types where early data already show signs of activity, making NEOK001 a candidate of […]
