Phase 3 Trial Tests a New B7-H3 Strategy in Advanced Prostate Cancer

A new phase 3 clinical trial is preparing to evaluate risvutatug rezetecan, or Ris-Rez or GSK5764227, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), an advanced form of prostate cancer that continues to progress despite androgen-deprivation treatment. The study, called EMBOLD Prostate-302, will compare this experimental therapy with best supportive or standard care, potentially including the […]

Soon to be Phase 1 Trial: AK157D1 a New B7‑H3–Targeted ADC in Advanced Prostate Cancer

The investigational B7‑H3–targeting antibody–drug conjugate AK157D1, recently cleared for a Phase I trial in advanced solid tumors, is especially compelling from a prostate cancer perspective because B7‑H3 (CD276) is one of the most uniformly expressed and biologically aggressive surface targets across the full disease continuum, from hormone‑sensitive to castration‑resistant and neuroendocrine phenotypes. Unlike PSMA, which […]

UPDATE: ABBV-969 Shows Very Promising rFPS in mCRPC

ABBV-969 is a dual-target antibody-drug conjugate targeting PSMA and STEAP1, data about its radiographic progression-free survival data have just been released, confirming a median rPFS of approximately 15 months in heavily pretreated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The study demonstrates a signal far exceeding the 4- to 5-month rPFS historically seen with cabazitaxel in the same […]

B7-H3 ADC YL201 Delivers Encouraging Results in Advanced mCRPC

YL201, a B7-H3–targeting antibody–drug conjugate, is showing notable activity in advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), including patients who have progressed after androgen receptor–targeted therapy and chemotherapy. In a phase 2 study of 82 heavily pretreated patients, the drug delivered a confirmed PSA50 response rate of 38.5%, an objective response rate of 29.5%, and a […]

A New Immune‑Engaging ADC Platform: STEAP1‑Targeted Vandortuzumab–Exatecan

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 […]

Phase 2 ARTEMIS-003 Trial: HS-20093 for mCRPC

HS-20093  has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from China’s National Medical Products Administration for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The designation covers patients previously treated with novel endocrine therapy and taxane-based chemotherapy, a setting where later-line treatment options remain limited. HS-20093 is a B7-H3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate designed to bind tumor cells expressing B7-H3 and deliver a cytotoxic […]

Phase 1 Trial: Dual-Target ADC IDE034 Targets B7-H3/PTK7 in Prostate Cancer

A promising new bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) known as IDE034 is entering early clinical testing in patients with advanced solid tumors, including prostate cancer, marking a potential step forward in precision oncology. This Phase 1a/1b trial, which began dosing its first patient in February 2026, targets tumors expressing both B7-H3 and PTK7, two surface proteins […]

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

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 […]

Phase 1 Trial for SYS6043: A New Antibody-Drug Conjugate Targeting B7-H3

SYS6043 is a new type of antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC. It zeroes in on B7-H3, a protein that is expresse by advanced tumors but almost not at all on healthy cells. The antibody part sticks to B7-H3, gets pulled inside the cancer cell, and releases a topoisomerase I inhibitor that breaks the cell’s DNA and […]

BG-C0979: Pioneering Phase 1 Trial Targets ADAM9 in Advanced Solid Tumors, Including CRPC

A first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial is underway to evaluate BG-C0979, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed for adults with advanced solid tumors. This open-label study focuses on assessing the drug’s safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and early signs of antitumor activity through dose escalation and potential expansion phases. BG-C0979 targets ADAM9, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase enzyme […]
