A new study suggests that ATM alterations could identify a subgroup of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer particularly likely to benefit from 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto). The retrospective analysis included 205 men with mCRPC treated with Lu-177-PSMA-617 between 2022 and 2026, all of whom had next-generation DNA sequencing available. ATM alterations were present in 12.7% of patients and […]
A new analysis of the PRINCE clinical trial suggests that combining blood-based ctDNA testing with PSMA PET could help identify which men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are most likely to respond to Lu-177 PSMA plus immunotherapy. PRINCE was a multicentre Phase 1/2 trial involving 37 men with mCRPC. Patients received up to six […]
A simple blood test normally associated with colorectal cancer could provide additional information about how men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer fare after 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. A new prospective study of 142 patients found that elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) before treatment was independently associated with shorter progression-free and overall survival. The finding does not mean that […]
A PSMA-targeted radioligand built on a compound called NYM032 is heading into the pivotal phase 3 trial that will decide whether its early data hold up. The molecule can be labeled with gallium-68 for PET imaging or lutetium-177 for therapy, giving a matched diagnose-and-treat pair. In mouse tumor models, escalating the dose from 18.5 to […]
A new regulatory approval is reshaping the treatment landscape for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), bringing radioligand therapy into much earlier stages of disease. Pluvicto (lutetium Lu-177 vipivotide tetraxetan aka 177Lu-PSMA-617), a therapy targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), can now be used in combination with standard androgen deprivation therapy and androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in […]
Thomas Jefferson University is running a phase 2 study of xaluritamig, also known as AMG 509, in adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose disease has shown a suboptimal response to Lu-177 vipivotide tetraxetan (aka 177Lu-PSMA 617) the radioligand therapy better known as Pluvicto. The trial reflects a very specific and clinically important question: what […]
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 new trial phase 1 trial is investigating the combination of 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) with darolutamide in high-risk localized prostate cancer. Both agents are already established in prostate cancer care, but using them together before surgery is a novel way to intensify treatment in patients whose disease is still potentially curable. Its main idea is simple: […]
177Lu‑PSMA‑VG01 is a next‑generation, small‑molecule PSMA‑targeting radiopharmaceutical designed to refine what 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 (Pluvicto) has already achieved. It uses a high‑affinity ligand to deliver the beta‑emitter lutetium‑177 directly to PSMA‑expressing tumor cells, aiming for greater tumor dosing with less exposure of healthy tissue. A new phase 1 trial is testing its dosimetry and side effects on […]
Zanzalintinib is being tested after Pluvicto (177Lu-PSMA-617) in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) because it targets several escape routes tumors use once they have survived PSMA‑directed radioligand therapy and prolonged AR pathway blockade. Pluvicto delivers beta radiation to PSMA‑expressing cells, inducing DNA damage and tumor cell death, but progression still occurs and is often driven […]
