Gedatolisib showed promising ORRs when given in combination with darolutamide and trastuzumab biosimilar in mCRPC and mBC, respectively.

225Ac-LNC1011 targeted α therapy elicited an ORR of 50.0% in patients with PSMA-positive prostate cancer in a phase 1 trial.

Results from a retrospective study show that 177Lu-PSMA-617 retreatment led to a median OS of 14.5 months in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The FDA did not expand the indication to include patients with non–homologous recombination repair gene mutated castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The combination of olaparib and radium-223 improved rPFS in castration-resistant prostate cancer without prior docetaxel treatment or with fewer than 20 bone metastases.

Results from the phase 3 ARANOTE trial demonstrated a statistically meaningful improvement to rPFS with darolutamide vs placebo.

The addition of CAN-2409 to a prodrug and radiation therapy in intermediate-to-high-risk prostate cancer significantly improved cancer-specific outcomes.

Niraparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic progression in patients with BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

SBRT did not significantly impact response when added to nivolumab/ipilimumab for patients with mCRPC.

Full results from the phase 3 trial supporting CAN-2409 plus valacyclovir and radiation therapy in this indication will be presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Decipher Prostate, Oncotype DX, and Prolaris are 3 gene expression testing options for patients with prostate cancers. Read as experts discuss them.

Eight votes were cast against the favorability of talazoparib and enzalutamide in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Following a positive meeting with the FDA, PT-112 is set to advance to a phase 3 trial for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The 1.5T Elekta Unity MR-Linac demonstrated lower rates of erectile dysfunction with neurovascular sparing vs without in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

A recommendation from an independent data monitoring committee prompted the discontinuation of the phase 3 CAPItello-280 trial.

Data show that patients who undergo grade group 1 prostatectomies may experience an increased likelihood of higher risk features.

BMI, serum albumin, and G8 screening tool scores were all factors correlated with the likelihood of experiencing a grade 3 or higher AE.

Toxicity complications were assessed between single- and multiple-treatment modalities for patients with localized prostate cancer.

Administering 177Lu for mCRPC is a “team sport”, according to Steven Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO.

After the recent approval of 177Lu in PSMA+/mCPRCP prior to chemotherapy, Steven Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO, highlights the importance of this milestone.

Results from the KEYNOTE-921 trial demonstrated that pembrolizumab with docetaxel did not elicit efficacy improvements vs placebo with docetaxel in prostate cancer.

Multidisciplinary collaboration may help in minimizing the treatment burden among patients with prostate cancer, according to Curtiland Deville Jr, MD.

Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging plays a crucial role in detecting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, offering superior sensitivity and specificity compared with conventional imaging methods. In clinical practice, PSMA PET is typically ordered when there is a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels post treatment, indicating potential recurrence. The imaging results significantly influence treatment decisions such as distinguishing between localized salvage therapy and systemic treatments. Pivotal trials have demonstrated the efficacy of various tracers.

Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging plays a crucial role in the initial staging of prostate cancer, offering superior accuracy over conventional methods. Medical professionals consider factors such as diagnostic performance, tracer availability, and patient-specific characteristics when selecting appropriate PSMA PET agents. The integration of PSMA PET findings into clinical practice has led to more precise treatment planning, potentially improving patient outcomes. Pivotal trials have demonstrated the efficacy of various PSMA PET tracers in detecting prostate cancer metastases.

The phase 3 MIRAGE trial findings show that PROSTOX ultra was validated as a biomarker to predict genitourinary toxicity following SBRT.

Focused, high-dose radiotherapy doses may prolong survival and the interval to subsequent therapy for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Data show increasing use of proton therapy overall but widening gaps in populations who have access to this treatment, Curtiland Deville Jr, MD, says.

Panelists discuss how high-quality imaging is crucial for accurately staging prostate cancer, guiding treatment decisions, and optimizing patient outcomes. Superior resolution and sensitivity of PSMA PET tracers enhance lesion detection, influencing surgical, radiation, and systemic therapy choices. Differences in tracer properties impact specificity, affecting treatment planning. Advanced imaging reduces uncertainty, improving risk stratification and therapeutic precision.
