A nano-PROTAC on the horizon: combining targeted protein degradation and ferroptosis for advanced prostate cancer

A new study from Wuhan University and the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University has reported a promising preclinical strategy for advanced prostate cancer, especially castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The work was published online in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, one of the leading international journals in chemistry. The study describes a new nano-PROTAC platform designed to […]

GLR2037: A First‑in‑Human AR‑Targeted PROTAC Enters Phase 1 Trials in Advanced Prostate Cancer

A new investigational agent code‑named GLR2037 has entered early clinical development as a first‑in‑human phase 1 study in patients with advanced prostate cancer, representing a significant step in the evolution of androgen receptor–directed therapies. GLR2037 is an androgen receptor (AR)–targeting proteolysis‑targeting chimera (PROTAC), designed not merely to inhibit the AR but to promote its ubiquitin‑proteasome–mediated […]

ANDROMEDA: Phase 1/2 Trial of AZD9750 AR Degrader in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The ANDROMEDA trial, a first-in-human Phase 1/2 study, is evaluating AZD9750, a novel androgen receptor (AR) PROTAC, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PROTACs represent a paradigm shift in targeted therapy: unlike traditional AR inhibitors that merely block the receptor’s activity, AZD9750 recruits cellular machinery to completely degrade the AR protein, potentially overcoming […]

Self-Assembled Nano-PROTAC to Improve Targeted Therapy in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

A new study published in Nature Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy reports a major leap in the design of targeted cancer therapies through the development of an in vivo self-assembled nano-PROTAC (proteolysis targeting chimera) system capable of delivering dual-targeted degradation in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).​ PROTACs have reshaped the drug discovery landscape by inducing selective […]
