- Frankis Almaguel, MD joins Phillip Koo, MD for the ongoing lecture series that is sponsored by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). Dr. Almaguel speaks to the current state of PSMA theranostics in the care of patients with prostate cancer. Molecular imaging is dependent on biomarkers. These biomarkers are the key to identifying cancer cells within the normal tissue. Preci...

- Neeraj Agarwal, MD discusses the recent update to the CARMENA trial which was presented at ASCO 2019. The Phase 3 non-inferiority CARMENA trial comparing sunitinib versus nephrectomy followed by sunitinib established that patients could avoid nephrectomy without compromising survival. This benefit was seen in both the intermediate and poor risk subgroups. In the updated data presented at ASCO 2019...

- Bertrand Tombal discusses the ongoing PEACE III trial evaluating enzalutamide alone versus enzalutamide plus radium-223 post the ERA-223 data. The interim safety analysis was presented at ASCO and the data demonstrated that there was an increase fracture rate with the addition of radium-223 to enzalutamide prior to mandating the use of bone protecting agents. Pathological and non-pathological frac...

- Cora Sternberg, MD, and Alicia Morgans, MD discuss the SAUL (A Study of Atezolizumab in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial or Non-Urothelial Carcinoma of the Urinary Tract) trial data which represents the "real world" experience with atezolizumab for the treatment of carcinomas of the urinary tract. The SAUL study enrolled patients that typically would be excluded from clinical trials inclu...

- Mary-Ellen Taplin and Alicia Morgans discuss treatment strategies in newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer patients. They review trial results and upcoming data that is expected to be reported out in the near future. Monotherapy with ADT is no longer the standard of care. They also discuss sequencing strategies in men who have progressed on therapy. Biographies: Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, Chair,...

- Karim Fizazi and Alicia Morgans discuss a follow-up on the quality of life parameters evaluated in the ARAMIS trial. Darolutamide was also associated with benefits with regard to all secondary end points, including overall survival, time to pain progression, time to cytotoxic chemotherapy, and time to a symptomatic skeletal-related event. The incidence of adverse events that occurred or worsened d...

- Tanya Dorff and Alicia Morgans discuss the ENZAMET (Enzalutamide in First Line Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer) trial design and key take-home messages based upon the ASCO 2019 plenary presentation by Christopher Sweeney. The investigators hypothesized that adding enzalutamide to first-line therapy would delay the emergence of castration resistance and thereby improve o...

- Chris Sweeney and Alicia Morgans discuss how the academic collaboration for ENZAMET (Addition of Enzalutamide to Standard of Care in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer) became a reality and initiated in November 2014. The ENZAMET study was led by the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate (ANZUP) Cancer Trials Group. ENZAMET (ANZUP 1304) is a global collaborative investigator...

- Alicia Morgans, Charles Ryan, and Neal Shore discuss the clinical evidence and considerations in treating prostate cancer progression as patients fail first-line treatment in the nmCRPC and advance to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). They highlight the need to change the mechanism of action and the opportunities that each Sipuleucel-T, (Provenge®) an autologous cellular imm...
