How Radium‑223 Plus Enzalutamide Accelerates ALP and PSA Responses in Bone‑Metastatic mCRPC

/in /by

An exploratory post hoc analysis of the international PEACE‑3 trial adds a compelling biomarker layer to the already positive story of combining radium‑223 with enzalutamide in men with bone‑metastatic, castration‑resistant prostate cancer. The parent study, a phase 3 randomised trial in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with bone metastases, had already […]

SCD1 Inhibition May Strengthen Enzalutamide Against Resistant Prostate Cancer

/in /by

SCD1 is an enzyme that helps prostate-cancer cells convert saturated fatty acids into monounsaturated fatty acids, which support cell membranes, energy storage and survival signaling. Functional research suggests that some tumors rely on SCD1 activity. Blocking this pathway can disrupt lipid synthesis, androgen-receptor signaling and survival pathways such as AKT. This provides the rationale for […]

Another Phase 1/2 Trial With SX-682, Combined With Docetaxel This Time

/in , , , /by

SX-682 is moving into a new clinical context. After an ongoing trial in prostate cancer with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors such as apalutamide and enzalutamide, the CXCR1/2 inhibitor is now being studied with docetaxel in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, and advanced prostate cancer. That matters because docetaxel is not […]

Tipifarnib Shows Early Promise as an Adjuvant in Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer

/in /by

Tipifarnib is an interesting repurposing candidate in advanced prostate cancer because it may interfere with a resistance mechanism that goes beyond androgen signaling alone. In a preclinical work presented during the AUA 2026 meeting, the drug reduced exosome release from aggressive castration-resistant prostate cancer cells, including 22Rv1 and CWR-R1, by about 30% at low dose, […]

The MOMENT Trial: Mevrometostat Plus Enzalutamide in Post‑ARPI, Pre‑Abiraterone mCRPC

/in , , /by

Mevrometostat is an oral EZH2 inhibitor being developed to overcome resistance to androgen‑receptor–targeted therapy in prostate cancer. In tumors, EZH2 helps switch off tumor‑suppressor genes and supports androgen‑independent growth and lineage plasticity, changes that are strongly linked to progression on drugs like enzalutamide. Adding an EZH2 inhibitor to continued AR blockade is meant to “re‑discipline” […]

Phase 2 TALENT Trial: Talazoparib as Monotherapy or With Enzalutamide in HRR-deficient mCRPC

/in , , /by

The TALENT trial is a randomized, open‑label, phase 2 trial evaluating whether adding enzalutamide to talazoparib improves outcomes compared with talazoparib alone in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alterations and have progressed after abiraterone‑based therapy. The trial builds on the phase 3 TALAPRO‑2 results, which showed […]

Phase 1/2 Update: Concurrent Enzalutamide–Cabazitaxel Produces Durable PFS Signal in mCRPC

/in , , , /by

The updated Phase 1/2 data for concurrent enzalutamide plus cabazitaxel in chemo‑naïve mCRPC show deep biochemical responses and a promising signal for progression‑free outcomes, but the dataset remains hypothesis‑generating. In a multi‑institutional single‑arm trial of enzalutamide with cabazitaxel (plus prednisone), 35 patients were included in the efficacy analysis with a median follow‑up of 23.7 months; […]

Scan Growth Without PSA Rise: Key Finding in Enzalutamide-Treated Prostate Cancer

/in /by

In a detailed review of two large clinical trials called ARCHES and PROSPER, doctors found that some patients experienced cancer growth visible on scans (known as radiographic progression) without seeing the usual rise in PSA blood levels, a key marker doctors often track. This mismatch highlights why regular imaging tests might be just as crucial […]

Darolutamide Monotherapy in ARAMON Trial: 52-Week Results in Non-Metastatic or Oligometastatic CSPC

/in , , , , /by

A new study called ARAMON shows promising results for using darolutamide alone to treat non-metastatic or oligometastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC), as known as androgen pathway modulator sensitive (APMS), in men who have biochemical recurrence after surgery or radiation. This phase 2 trial enrolled 23 evaluable patients with PSA ≥0.2 ng/mL post-prostatectomy or ≥2 ng/mL […]

Darolutamide Linked to Better Real‑World Outcomes than Enzalutamide or Apalutamide in nmCRPC

/in , /by

A large real‑world study in nonmetastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) called DEAR‑EXT, published on Nature, has added new detail to how the three androgen receptor inhibitors (darolutamide, enzalutamide, and apalutamide) behave outside of randomized trials, using data from over 1,300 men treated in US urology practices between 2019 and 2023. The analysis builds on an […]
