“Prostate cancer patients with life expectancies of less than 5 or 10 years were being subjected to treatments that can take up to a decade to significantly improve their chances of surviving cancer, despite guidelines recommending against treatment," says Timothy J. Daskivich, MD.

Final completion of the ECLIPSE trial is anticipated for February 2029.

“Our study is distinguished by long follow-up, out to 12 years, looking at a broad spectrum of key complications," says Joseph M. Unger, PhD.

The decision was based on an interim readout from the trial, which showed that ONCT-534 did not lead to any clinically meaningful improvement of disease.

In total, the study plans to enroll 84 adult patients across clinical trial sites in the United States and Australia.

The decision comes after a pre-specified futility analysis determined that it was unlikely that the study would meet its primary end point.

The NDA submission is supported by data from a single-arm, phase 3 trial of leuprolide mesylate administered as 2 injections, 3 months apart.

Patients with higher baseline HEI and E-HEI scores were less likely to experience grade reclassification.

The codes will go into effect on January 1, 2026.

At 5 years, 95.8% of patients in the SBRT arm were free from biochemical or clinical failure compared with 94.6% of patients in the control radiotherapy arm.

The application is supported by data from the pivotal phase 3 ARANOTE trial.

"My hope is that the results of our study improve the uptake of active surveillance, further reducing unnecessary treatments, and this, combined with the improving reflex tests, may change the risk-benefit of PSA screening," says Lisa F. Newcomb, PhD.

“Nivolumab, combined with standard of care trimodality therapy, appears to be promising for the treatment of grade group 5 prostate cancer," says John Michael Bryant, MD.

"The TALAPRO-2 results provide much-needed hope to patients who remain in high unmet need for effective treatment options," said Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO.

"We remain on track for the opening of phase 2 in the next few months. We also expect to see the full phase 1 results presented at a scientific meeting in 2025," says David E. Gauden, DPhil.

The WATER IV PCa will assess Aquablation vs radical prostatectomy in patients with grade group 1 to 3 localized prostate cancer.

Pastuszak discusses the evolving nature of understanding how testosterone therapy post-radiation for prostate cancer may beneficial or harmful to patients, and how to navigate the decision.

Soumyajit Roy, MS, MBBS, explains how findings showing 5-year biochemical recurrence status may predict prostate cancer cure should alter the clinician-patient interaction.

At the 24-month time point, patients who received apalutamide had a 23% reduction in the risk of death compared with patients who initiated enzalutamide.

Findings from RAPTOR suggest 5-year biochemical recurrence may be a good indication of prostate cancer cure status.

Demogeot discusses his team's GETUG 14 findings regarding early administration of ADT plus high-dose radiotherapy for intermediate to high risk prostate cancer.

Van As makes the case for clinical evidence supporting the priority of SBRT, describing its convenience and cost-effectiveness without compromising outcomes.

Blanchard provides an update on the SABRE trial, assessing an iodinated hydrogel space used for SBRT treatment in patients with prostate cancer.

Dandapani highlights her team's promising findings around combination Ra-223, SBRT and ADT therapy for metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer.

Findings from GETUG 14 show short-term ADT with high-dose radiotherapy provided 5-year improved efficacy without increased risk of toxicity.

Data from the PARTIQoL trial show no significant difference in progression-free survival, bowel function, and other patient quality-of-life measures between PBT and IMRT.

A late-breaking abstract at ASTRO 2024 shows local therapy history does not significantly affect the risk of death in patients with mCRPC receiving an ARPI.

New CEASAR findings at ASTRO 2024 show how 3 treatment modalities differ in prostate cancer patient functioning—as well as how patients perceive the issues.

Ga-68 PSMA-11 radiotracer may be a feasible option for SCINTIX radiation therapy in patients whose prostate cancer has spread to the bones.
