The primary end point is 12-month radiographic progression-free survival.

A list of facts and trends to know about the current landscape of urologic cancer management and research in the US.

The data also showed that mortality plateaued in recent years despite declining in years prior.

The incidence of late grade 2 or greater GU toxicity at 5 years was 12.5% among those who did experience acute toxicity vs 7.5% among those who did not.

“MPS2 could potentially improve the health of our patients by avoiding overdiagnosis and overtreatment and allowing us to focus on those who are most likely to have aggressive cancers," says Ganesh S. Palapattu, MD, FACS.

Overall, the open-label phase 1/2 study is assessing the safety and anti-tumor activity with INKmune across 3 dose levels.

According to the authors, these findings highlight the need to more effectively include Black men in prostate cancer research.

“The key here is I don’t believe that testosterone increases the risk of prostate cancer progression or biochemical recurrence," says Mohit Khera, MD, MBA, MPH.

Overall, 39% of those who received a university-formatted report and 56% of those who received a VA-formatted report were able to identify that they had prostate cancer.

At 25 weeks, FACT-P total score remained comparable between the arms.

The Mona Lisa 2.0 platform has been previously approved in the US, Australia, and Singapore.

The PDUFA target action date has been set for August 29, 2025.

Following an initial dose of VIR-5500 of 120 µg/kg or higher, all patients achieved a PSA reduction.

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

Catch up on all the notable drug and device approvals in urology over the past year.

As the year comes to a close, we revisit some of this year’s top content on prostate cancer.

The alert was issued to clarify that the devices should not be used for suction and irrigation.

“Our findings highlight the coordinated interplay between GCN2 and p53 regulation during nutrient stress and provide insight into how they could be targeted in developing new therapeutic strategies for [prostate cancer]," write the authors.

Pluvicto was approved by Health Canada in August 2022.

From baseline to 1 year, the Ki-67 index decreased in the dietary intervention cohort by 15% and increased in the control cohort by 24%.

“If approved, this approach has the potential to transform the treatment paradigm in prostate cancer, offering patients with localized disease an effective treatment option that may reduce the risk of disease recurrence," says Glen Gejerman, MD, MBA.

Specifically, 90% of patients in the HIFU arm vs 86% of patients in the radical prostatectomy arm were free from subsequent definitive treatment at 30 months.

The clearance is supported by data from the PRESERVE trial, which evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the NanoKnife System in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

PT217 is currently under investigation in the phase 1/2 SKYBRIDGE trial in patients with neuroendocrine cancers.

"That pan-tumor approval and this patient case really highlight that in prostate cancer, we should be checking HER2 by immunohistochemistry," says Maneesh R. Jain, MD.

Data showed that all patients achieved a PSA decline of at least 50%.

“The combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy presents a promising new treatment approach for these challenging-to-treat, rare cancers and could be a major breakthrough for patient care,” says Arnold I. Chin, MD, PhD.

"Most of the published data about HIFU tended to be with relatively short-term follow-up," says Ralph J. Miller Jr, MD.

The phase 2 CELLVX-230 trial is exploring the potential of FK-PC101 to delay or prevent prostate cancer recurrence following prostatectomy.

Data from the CAPItello-281 trial also showed a trend toward an improvement in overall survival.
