- Michael Schweizer discusses findings on Mevrometostat, an EZH2 inhibitor, combined with enzalutamide in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Dr. Schweizer highlights that EZH2 is a significant driver in neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) development, making it a crucial target for treatment. The Phase I/II trial shows that Mevrometostat combined with enzalutamide yi...

- Ali Sabbagh presents a novel study on using machine learning to predict overall survival in clinical trials for metastatic prostate cancer. Dr. Sabbagh explains that traditional endpoints like overall survival often require long follow-ups, delaying access to potentially life-saving treatments. His research leverages baseline clinical characteristics and PSA changes over four months to accelerate...

- Edmond Kwan discusses his latest research on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a predictive marker for response to Lutetium PSMA-617 versus cabazitaxel. The Phase II TheraP trial compared these treatments in patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, utilizing dual imaging selection. Dr. Kwan highlights that ctDNA fraction, the proportion of tumor-derived DNA in circula...

- Scott Tagawa discusses the final results of a phase I/II trial exploring dose-escalation of lutetium PSMA for advanced prostate cancer. Launched in 2017, this trial aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of increasing radioactive doses in a fractionated, dose-dense regimen to maintain constant tumor exposure. The study escalated doses from 7.4 to 22.2 gigabecquerels without reaching a dose-lim...

- Zach Klaassen speaks with Mark Markowski about the advancements in AI, particularly the ArteraAI Prostate Test, and its implications for prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Markowski explains how ArteraAI has evolved from predicting treatment responses in localized prostate cancer to potentially guiding treatment decisions in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The CHAARTED study, a pivotal t...

- Zach Klaassen and Benjamin Maughan discuss new insights into the real-world application of apalutamide in treating metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Dr. Maughan highlights the significance of achieving deep PSA responses as a key prognostic marker for patient outcomes. The OASIS project, utilizing data from diverse medical settings across the U.S., demonstrates that patients wh...

- Alicia Morgans speaks with Dan Petrylak about his phase 1 study on a new androgen receptor (AR) degrader, ARV-766. This study explores the potential of AR degraders to effectively target and dismantle androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells, particularly those resistant to conventional therapies. Dr. Petrylak highlights the journey of ARV-766, a second-generation PROTAC drug designed to degrad...

- Alicia Morgans sits down with Christos Kyriakopoulos to discuss the findings from the CHAARTED 2 trial. This study builds on the success of the original CHAARTED trial, focusing on combining standard therapies with second-line chemotherapy to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Initiated in 2018 and completed amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pande...

- Susan Halabi discusses her presentation on prognostic factors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) based on the Alliance trial. The phase three trial, which enrolled 1,311 patients, compared the effects of enzalutamide alone to enzalutamide combined with abiraterone and prednisone. Despite no difference in overall survival between the treatment arms, Dr. Halabi's team develop...
