PSA50 Response Rate Reaches 83%! Novel Targeted Alpha Therapy 225Ac-PSMA-trillium Breaks New Ground in Precision Treatment for mCRPC

At a recent major oncology conference, Professor Fred Saad from the University of Montreal Hospital Center delivered an oral presentation on the latest findings of the PANTHER study (Abstract 19). This study reported the first-in-human phase 1 dose-escalation results of a novel PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT)—Actinium-225-PSMA-trillium (225Ac-PSMA-trillium)—in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), bringing a new treatment strategy and hope to heavily pretreated patients.
Overcoming the CRS Barrier: Dual-Masked T-Cell Engager VAR5500 Shows Deep PSA Responses in mCRPC

Overcoming the CRS Barrier: Dual-Masked T-Cell Engager VAR5500 Shows Deep PSA Responses in mCRPC

At a recent major oncology conference, Professor Johann de Bono from the Royal Marsden Hospital presented Abstract 17, detailing the preliminary results of a first-in-human Phase 1 dose-escalation trial. The study evaluated VAR5500, a dual-masked pro-X10 T-cell engager targeting PSMA and CD3, in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study provides critical proof-of-concept data for the next generation of precision immunotherapy in solid tumors.

Precision Over Prolongation: IPD Meta-Analysis Challenges Routine Hormone Therapy in Recurrent Prostate Cancer

At the recent oncology conference, Dr. Amar Kishan, Radiation Oncologist at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), presented Abstract 305, a highly anticipated individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis addressing the optimal patient selection and duration for hormone therapy (HT) combined with post-operative radiotherapy (RT) in recurrent prostate cancer.
Rethinking “Very High-Risk”: Prof. Karim Fizazi on PEACE-2 Results and the Evolution of Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification

Rethinking “Very High-Risk”: Prof. Karim Fizazi on PEACE-2 Results and the Evolution of Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification

During a recent major international oncology congress, Professor Karim Fizazi from the University of Paris-Saclay (Gustave Roussy) presented the first results of the Phase III PEACE-2 trial. This study evaluated whether the addition of cabazitaxel and/or pelvic radiotherapy to the standard of care—androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with prostate radiation—improves outcomes in patients with very high-risk localized prostate cancer.
Combination Therapy Breakthrough Exceeds 5 Years OS! BRCAaway Trial Establishes the Core Role of Abiraterone + Olaparib in BRCA-Mutated mCRPC

Combination Therapy Breakthrough Exceeds 5 Years OS! BRCAaway Trial Establishes the Core Role of Abiraterone + Olaparib in BRCA-Mutated mCRPC

At a recent major oncology academic conference, Professor Maha Hussain from the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University in Chicago presented the latest efficacy and overall survival (OS) data from the BRCAaway trial (Abstract 16). This Phase II clinical trial thoroughly investigated the definitive efficacy and safety profile of abiraterone combined with olaparib versus either agent alone as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) harboring DNA repair defects.
Dr. Martin Gleave Deciphers GUNS Study: Triplet Therapy Significantly Increases MRD Rates in Genomically Aggressive Prostate Cancer

Dr. Martin Gleave Deciphers GUNS Study: Triplet Therapy Significantly Increases MRD Rates in Genomically Aggressive Prostate Cancer

At the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (GU ASCO), Dr. Martin Gleave from the University of British Columbia presented the latest data from the GUNS study (Genomic Umbrella Neoadjuvant Study). The presentation focused on the pathological responses of high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients with aggressive genomic alterations treated with neoadjuvant androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) triplet versus doublet regimens.
Balancing Efficacy and Well-being: PRO Dynamics and Skeletal Safety in the Phase 3 PSMAddition Trial for mHSPC

Balancing Efficacy and Well-being: PRO Dynamics and Skeletal Safety in the Phase 3 PSMAddition Trial for mHSPC

At a recent international oncology symposium, Michael Morris, MD, from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), delivered an in-depth academic report on Abstract #18. The presentation focused on the latest data regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL), pain, and symptomatic skeletal events (SSE) from the Phase 3 PSMAddition study. This trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) for patients with PSMA-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Below is a summary of the core findings.
EBRT vs. Brachytherapy Boost in Localized Prostate Cancer: In-Depth Analysis of 15-Year OS and PCSM Data from the ASCENDE-RT Trial

EBRT vs. Brachytherapy Boost in Localized Prostate Cancer: In-Depth Analysis of 15-Year OS and PCSM Data from the ASCENDE-RT Trial

At a recent international oncology conference, Professor Scott Tyldesley from Vancouver, Canada, delivered an oral presentation on behalf of Professor Jim Morris, sharing the 15-year long-term survival analysis of the ASCENDE-RT trial (Abstract No. 306). This study compared the long-term overall survival (OS) and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) of an external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) boost versus a low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy boost in patients with localized prostate cancer. Oncology Frontier (Mediamedic) has summarized the core academic highlights to share with our readers.
Neoplasia | Teams Led by Jianxiang Wang and Shaowei Qiu Reveal Prognostic Heterogeneity in FLT3-ITD–Mutated AML: Clonal Origin and 13q UPD as Key Drivers

Neoplasia | Teams Led by Jianxiang Wang and Shaowei Qiu Reveal Prognostic Heterogeneity in FLT3-ITD–Mutated AML: Clonal Origin and 13q UPD as Key Drivers

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy. Approximately 20–30% of AML patients harbor FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations. FLT3-ITD is a major driver mutation in AML and typically arises as a late genetic event during leukemogenesis, often coexisting with mutations in NPM1, DNMT3A, WT1, and others. Although FLT3-ITD is generally associated with poor prognosis, substantial variability in clinical outcomes has been observed among FLT3-ITD–positive patients. Previous studies have largely focused on the molecular characteristics of FLT3-ITD itself, while the impact of its clonal origin on prognosis has been underexplored. Moreover, the key genetic evolutionary mechanisms driving resistance during progression from newly diagnosed disease to relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML remain incompletely understood.
