- Alicia Morgans and Oliver Sartor discuss the latest developments and changes in the advanced prostate cancer landscape. Dr. Sartor mentions that novel hormones are used as first-line treatment in most cases and that the controversy around treating first-line metastatic CRPC is no longer relevant. He believes the evolution is going to continue with the novel hormones going earlier in different sett...

- Fred Saad joins Alicia Morgans in a discussion on the final overall survival data from the PROpel trial, a randomized controlled trial aimed to address the first-line mCRPC question in patients who have not been treated with a novel hormonal agent in the mCRPC setting. Patients were randomized to receive abiraterone and prednisone or abiraterone and olaparib. The trial's primary endpoint was radio...

- Alicia Morgans converses with Noel Clarke about the significance of biomarkers in castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Clarke highlights the clinical importance of recognizing diversity among prostate cancer patients, particularly considering age and associated comorbidities. Noting that many patients, especially from socially deprived backgrounds, face challenges due to comorbidities, he und...

- Alicia Morgans and Cora Sternberg discuss the MAGNITUDE phase 3 trial which was pragmatically designed to test the benefit of the combination of niraparib + abiraterone acetate/prednisone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in patients prospectively identified with and without alterations in genes associated with HRR using both tissue and blood-based approaches. Dr. Sternbe...

- In this conversation with Alicia Morgans, Simpa Salami discusses transcriptomic heterogeneity in multifocal prostate cancer and factors predisposing certain prostate cancer-focused to metastasis. Simpa Salami is a Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) Young Investigator Award recipient. Highlighting key takeaways from two research studies, Dr. Salami also shares how the PCF funding has supported this r...

- In this conversation with Charles Ryan, Simpa Salami highlights a new urine-based test for detecting aggressive prostate cancer, which promises improvement upon current biomarker tests. It's been estimated that prostate cancer often occurs in multiple areas of the prostate in about 60% to 80% of patients. Prostate biopsy is the strategy for detecting aggressive prostate cancer based upon elevated...

- In this conversation, Alicia Morgans and Alan Bryce highlighted the TRITON3 study. TRITON3 is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial of Rubraca in patients with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study enrolled 405 patients with a mutation in BRCA or ATM who were randomized to Rubraca or the control group, which consisted of the physician’...

- In this discussion, Michael Morris and Alicia Morgans discuss a post hoc analysis of the VISION Trial aimed at assessing earlier maturing time-to-event endpoints. Earlier time-to-event endpoints than overall survival (OS) will allow more timely regulatory approval and overall accelerated drug development. Morris and colleagues aimed to estimate correlations between time-to-event endpoints such as...

- Charles Ryan and Clayton Yates delve into the intricate landscape of health disparities and global health equity. Central to the discussion is Dr. Yates's groundbreaking work as principal investigator of MET-PAAM, studying the molecular mechanisms of tumor progression in metastatic prostate cancer among men of African descent. Dr. Yates provides insights into the unique BRCA2 gene variants found i...

- Samuel Denmeade, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Prostate Cancer Program joins Alicia Morgans in a discussion on Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT) for prostate cancer. ADT slows prostate cancer’s progress by shutting off testosterone. Eventually, cancer adapts to this new environment and PSA levels start to rise. The concept of BAT is for men whose prostate cancer has become resistant to standard ho...
