Genomic Alterations and LuPSMA Outcomes in mCRPC: A Prognostic Insight

Genomic alterations like TP53, PTEN, and RB1 mutations are prevalent in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), yet their impact on response to 177Lu-PSMA-617 (LuPSMA, Pluvicto) radioligand therapy remains underexplored. A recent retrospective study published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine analyzed 72 mCRPC patients treated with at least one cycle of LuPSMA between October 2022 […]

Phase 1/2 ACRES Trial: Pioneering 225Ac-rhPSMA-10.1 for Post-Lutetium mCRPC

The ACRES trial represents a promising step forward in targeted alpha therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), focusing on Actinium-225-labeled radiohybrid PSMA-10.1 (225Ac-rhPSMA-10.1) in patients who have largely progressed after Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy. This multi-site, open-label Phase 1/2 study addresses an urgent need in advanced prostate cancer, where effective post-Lu-PSMA options remain limited despite […]

ANDROMEDA Trial: Alpha vs. Beta PSMA Therapy

The ANDROMEDA phase 2 trial represents an advancement in managing recurrent oligometastatic prostate cancer by directly pitting alpha-emitting 225Ac-PSMA-617 against the established beta-emitting 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto), both combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). This head-to-head comparison stems from the need to address limitations in current therapies for patients whose cancer returns in 1-5 detectable spots on […]

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 […]

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 […]
