In the randomized phase II LUNAR trial, adding two cycles of neoadjuvant 177Lu-PNT2002 to stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligorecurrent hormone-sensitive prostate cancer significantly prolonged progression-free survival (17.6 vs
SunRISe-4 reports higher pCR, pOR, and 1‑year RFS for neoadjuvant TAR‑200 plus cetrelimab versus cetrelimab alone in cisplatin‑ineligible/refusing MIBC, with urinary and circulating tumor DNA MRD correlating with outcomes.
An individual-patient data meta-analysis of 10,266 men shows nonlinear oncologic benefit from longer ADT with radiotherapy (diminishing beyond 9–12 months) but increasing other-cause mortality with long-term ADT; optimal duration should be
The MAST phase III trial found no benefit of metformin (850 mg twice daily) versus placebo for delaying progression in men with low‑risk prostate cancer on active surveillance; a prespecified subgroup showed increased pathologic progression
A randomized phase III trial (MAST) found metformin did not prolong progression‑free survival in men on active surveillance for low‑risk prostate cancer; an exploratory subgroup showed increased pathologic progression in obese patients.
Comprehensive review of metformin’s role in metastatic prostate cancer with ADT highlights STAMPEDE trial’s findings: no significant overall survival benefit but metabolic side-effect mitigation. Integration of other RCTs outlin
In the PRIME randomized phase 3 trial, metformin did not significantly reduce metabolic syndrome incidence in men starting androgen deprivation therapy, but produced modest, clinically relevant reductions in body weight, waist circumference
The AMPLITUDE phase 3 trial shows adding niraparib to abiraterone‑prednisone improves radiographic progression‑free survival in HRR‑deficient metastatic castration‑sensitive prostate cancer, with greater benefit in BRCA‑altered disease but
Final MAGNITUDE results show niraparib combined with abiraterone–prednisone improves radiographic PFS, time to symptomatic progression and delays cytotoxic chemotherapy in HRR‑altered mCRPC (notably BRCA1/2), preserves patient‑reported qual
The AMPLITUDE trial demonstrated that adding niraparib to abiraterone acetate plus prednisone significantly improves progression-free survival in HRR-deficient metastatic prostate cancer, with maintained quality of life and manageable safet
One year of durvalumab combined with BCG induction and maintenance significantly improved disease-free survival in patients with high-risk, BCG-naive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer compared to BCG therapy alone, with a manageable safety
A meta-analysis of six randomized trials shows [177Lu]Lu‑PSMA significantly increases PSA and objective responses and reduces risk of radiographic progression, with no significant increase in high‑grade toxicity and no clear overall surviva
PSMAfore shows that [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 given to taxane‑naive, PSMA-positive mCRPC patients delays worsening of health-related quality of life, pain, and first symptomatic skeletal events versus switching AR pathway inhibitors.
In ENZA‑p (ANZUP1901) substudy, baseline PSMA PET total tumour volume (PSMA‑TTV) was strongly prognostic for overall survival and predicted greater OS benefit from adding 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 to enzalutamide; PSMA SUVmean was not predictive.
Interim data from the AlphaBet phase 1/2 trial show that combined 177Lu‑PSMA‑I&T and radium‑223 is feasible, with no dose‑limiting toxicities, a recommended radium‑223 dose of 55.0 kBq/kg, and a PSA50 rate of 55% (95% CI 36–72). Hematol
Final TALAPRO-2 data show that adding talazoparib to enzalutamide improves overall survival and rPFS in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer, with the largest benefit in BRCA1/2‑altered tumors; hematologic toxicity is common but
The phase 3 CYCLONE 2 trial found that adding the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib to abiraterone did not significantly prolong radiographic progression‑free survival in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer and increased tox
The 23-year follow-up of the ERSPC confirms that PSA screening reduces prostate cancer mortality by 13%, with an improved harm-benefit ratio, supporting risk-based screening strategies to optimize outcomes.
A retrospective study in US veterans reveals increased use of combination therapies for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), showing improved survival over ADT alone. ARPIs and docetaxel demonstrate comparable overall survi
This meta-analysis reveals that systemic treatment intensification improves overall survival in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, with greater benefits in younger men and nuanced effects in older men, especially based on disease
