Nanotech Advancement: Relief from Prostate Cancer Bone Pain on the Horizon

A promising study published this month in Science Advances introduces a promising “neuroimmunotherapy” nanocarrier called LipoNCs@pGSDMB, designed precisely for bone metastases like those in prostate cancer. This tiny, smart drug delivery system activates only in the high-oxidative-stress environment of bone tumors, fusing directly with cancer cell membranes to release its payload straight into the cell’s […]

PT-112 Update: Phase 2 Biomarker Findings Pave Way for Phase 3 in End-Stage Prostate Cancer

Since FDA cleared PT-112 for a pivotal phase 3 trial in May 2025 (we talked about it here) following a successful end-of-phase-2 meeting, fresh insights illuminate why this novel platinum-based agent merits excitement for late-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PT-112 stands apart from traditional platinums: its pyrophosphate structure drives osteotropism (high bone accumulation alongside […]
