Double-Masked PSMA-TCE JANX014 Enters Phase 1 for mCRPC

/in , , /by

A novel double-masked T-cell engager targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), called JANX014, has entered phase 1 testing in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The first-in-human, open-label, multicenter trial, which dosed its initial participant in mid-April 2026, evaluates safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early antitumor activity through ascending intravenous doses administered as monotherapy to […]

A PSMA‑Targeted CAR‑T Cell Therapy with CD16A Signaling for Prostate Cancer

/in , /by

Adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has worked well in some blood cancers, but it has been much less effective in solid tumors like prostate cancer. One reason is the strong cytokine release and strong immune suppression in the tumor area. A new study has designed a PSMA‑targeted CAR that uses CD16A, […]

ProTCE-PSMA Pushes PSMA T-Cell Engagers Toward a Safer Therapeutic Window

/in , /by

A new generation of PSMA-targeted T-cell engagers is emerging with a clear goal: preserve the potency seen in hematologic malignancies while overcoming the safety and efficacy barriers that have limited success in solid tumors. A preclinical candidate, ProTCE-PSMA, presented ahead of IND filing in early 2026, illustrates how rapidly this field is evolving beyond first-generation […]

QL535: CD2-Based PSMA T-Cell Engager Maintains Anti-Tumor Activity in Advanced Prostate Cancer Models

/in , /by

PSMA-targeted T-cell engagers have struggled in solid tumors because they don’t activate T cells strongly enough and the immune cells become exhausted quickly. QL535 solves this problem by adding a second co-stimulatory signal through CD2, a molecule on T cells that’s abundant in prostate cancer tumors. Researchers analyzed immune cells from 14 advanced prostate cancer […]

UPDATE: AB-3028 Reaches Clinical Trial Stage for mCRPC

/in , , , /by

AB-3028, programmable circuit T cell therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), has now advanced into a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. This marks the first clinical testing of this highly engineered, logic‑gated CAR-T platform in prostate cancer, moving it from a purely preclinical concept into human evaluation. The trial should start recruiting in January 2026. […]

Phase 1/2 Trial for MK-6070 (Gocatamig): A Promising Trispecific T-Cell Engager for Neuroendocrine Cancers

/in , , /by

MK-6070 (Gocatamig) is an engineered trispecific T-cell engager designed to target a protein called DLL3, which is predominantly found on certain aggressive neuroendocrine tumors, including prostate cancer. This molecule works by simultaneously binding to DLL3 on tumor cells, the CD3 receptor on T cells, and serum albumin, which extends the drug’s circulation time in the […]
