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 […]

Three Targets Beyond PSMA in Prostate Cancer Radioligand Therapy

Radioligand therapy transformed advanced prostate cancer care with PSMA targeting. Now experts eye options for PSMA-resistant or low-expression cases. At APCCC 2026, Dr. Ken Herrmann named ACP3, B7-H3, and STEAP1/STEAP2 as top priorities. These could reach patients (outside clinical trials) in four to five years. ACP3, or prostatic acid phosphatase, binds tighter than PSMA in […]

New Xaluritamig (AMG 509) Monotherapy Phase 1 Trial for mCRPC

Xaluritamig (AMG 509) represents a promising new immunotherapy option for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, through this  new Phase 1 trial. The study aims to evaluate the safety profile of xaluritamig administered as monotherapy (plus ADT, as usual) at a specific proposed regimen in adult male participants whose cancer has progressed despite […]

QLS2401: A Trispecific PSMA/STEAP1/CD3 T‑Cell Engager for mCRPC

QLS2401 is a trispecific T‑cell engager designed for metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It binds three targets at once: PSMA and STEAP1 on tumor cells, plus CD3 on T cells. This design allows it to physically connect a patient’s T cells to prostate‑cancer cells, triggering T‑cell activation and killing of the tumor. Both PSMA and […]

HLX3902: A Trispecific T‑Cell Engager Rewiring the Immune Desert in Prostate Cancer

HLX3902 is a STEAP1×CD3×CD28 trispecific T‑cell engager developed as a potential first‑in‑class immunotherapy for prostate cancer. Prostate tumors are largely “cold” from an immunological standpoint. The microenvironment is immunosuppressive, T cells are scarce inside the tumor mass, and those that do infiltrate often burn out quickly after activation. Classical CD3‑only bispecific TCEs can force T […]

Phase 1 Trial: STEAP1 CAR‑T Plus Enzalutamide A New Immune Approach for mCRPC

STEAP1 is a protein that sits on the surface of many prostate cancer cells, especially in advanced metastatic disease. Because it is abundant on cancer cells and much less present in normal tissues, STEAP1 looks like a promising “flag” that engineered immune cells can use to distinguish tumor from healthy organs. ​ The treatment being […]

Phase 1 Recruiting: ABBV-969, A Novel Bispecific Antibody Drug Conjugate for Advanced Prostate Cancer
