An Overview of PSMA-PET Scans and Prostate Cancer Imaging

In the recent news release, Koelis reported that the final patient was enrolled in the VIOLETTE study in September 2024.

In this podcast episode, Adam B. Murphy, MD, MBA, MSCI, discusses the need to increase diversity in clinical trials, specifically focusing on studies in prostate cancer.

“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.

Zeyad Schwen, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, discusses how patient factors and cancer characteristics are key to deciding between focal therapies and whole gland treatment for prostate cancer.

“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.
