Emerging DLL3-Targeted Therapies Demonstrate Efficacy in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer - Himisha Beltran

Details
Himisha Beltran discuses DLL3, a promising target for neuroendocrine prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Beltran explains that DLL3 is highly expressed in neuroendocrine and small cell prostate cancers, making it an attractive therapeutic target. She reviews recent clinical trials of DLL3-targeted T-cell engagers, including Tarlatamab and MK-6070, highlighting their potential efficacy in treating neuro...

Novel Epigenomic Liquid Biopsy Detects PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer - Jacob Berchuck

Details
Oliver Sartor hosts Jake Berchuck to discuss a novel epigenomic liquid biopsy platform for determining PSMA expression in prostate cancer. Dr. Berchuck explains how the assay analyzes cell-free DNA to infer tumor PSMA expression, showing strong correlation with PSMA PET scan results. They explore the potential of this technology to provide real-time, non-invasive monitoring of tumor drug target ex...

Enfortumab Vedotin and Stereotactic Radiation Tested Before Surgery in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in STAR-EV Trial - Tian Zhang

Details
Leslie Ballas and Tian Zhang discuss the STAR-EV trial, a new study combining enfortumab vedotin (EV) and radiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients ineligible for cisplatin. Dr. Zhang outlines the trial's design, which uses three EV cycles followed by targeted radiation and cystectomy. The study aims to improve complete response rates from 36% with EV alone to 60% with the combination....

Event-Free Survival as Surrogate Endpoint in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Research - Cora Sternberg

Details
Cora Sternberg discusses her presentation on event-free survival (EFS) as a surrogate endpoint for overall survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Dr. Sternberg explains the study's methodology, which analyzed 15 clinical trials evaluating neoadjuvant treatments followed by radical cystectomy. The research demonstrates a strong association between EFS and overall survival, supporting EFS as a...
