ARREST Trial: Precision Radiation Boosts to Fix 177Lu-PSMA’s 50% Failure Rate

ARREST trial could change mCRPC treatment by solving 177Lu-PSMA’s biggest limitation: up to 50% of patients get little benefit despite FDA approval and proven survival gains. The simple idea? Add targeted external beam radiation boosts to the tumors that radioligand therapy misses, creating a hybrid approach that could cut skeletal complications dramatically. Current 177Lu-PSMA therapy […]

PROSTest: Blood mRNA Assay Predicts 177Lu-PSMA Success in mCRPC After One Cycle

A study presented at the 2025 Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) Annual Meeting has introduced PROSTest, a novel blood-based mRNA assay that accurately predicts treatment outcomes for 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. The multi-center investigation analyzed 268 PET-positive mCRPC patients from centers in Munster, Basel, and Essen, all with median […]

EVOLUTION Trial Ipilimumab And Nivolumab Plus 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 in mCRPC

Phase II EVOLUTION is a randomized study testing whether adding ipilimumab and nivolumab to 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 improves outcomes versus 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 alone in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Early data presented in 2025 indicate that at 12 months, 33% of patients on the combination were free of progression versus 17% on 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 alone, signaling a […]

New Trial for AMO959 and Pluvicto and ARSI Combo

The ongoing phase Ib/II trial investigating the combination of AMO959, Pluvicto (lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan, also known as AAA617 or 177Lu-PSMA-617), and androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) explores a novel approach targeting disease through multiple pathways. AMO959 is a direct activator of AMPK, a key metabolic regulator that can disrupt […]

177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) Combo With Sipulecel-T in Phase 1 Trial

City of Hope Medical Center, in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, is initiating a randomized phase 1 study in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that compares lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan (177Lu‑PSMA‑617 or Pluvicto) alone versus the same radioligand combined with sipuleucel‑T, with the primary goal of quantifying the induced anti‑tumor immune response alongside […]

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 […]
