Breaking new👉 today @US_FDA approved capivasertib (oral AKT inhibitor) for the metastatic HSPC/APMS #prostatecancer with PTEN deficiency👉personalized medicine continues to leap forward👉Capitello-281 ph3 trial summary👇 @OncoAlert @urotoday @AUC3_Official
PTEN as a prognostic marker and clinical decision tool in #mHSPC: Multidisciplinary discussion. @Daniel_J_George, Neal Shore, MD, FACS, David Morris, MD, FACS & @neerajaiims review the CAPItello-281 Phase III trial, highlighting PTEN loss as a critical prognostic marker identifying a high-risk subset of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive #ProstateCancer. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4slFxqL

Excited to share results from the EQUIP study, just presented at @SNM_MI in Los Angeles. #SNMMI26 Last November, we installed the world's first @GEHealthCare Omni Total Body PET/CT - a 128cm long-axis field-of-view system with next-generation digital detectors. These are the first clinical results from anywhere in the world on this device. The short version: better images, in a fraction of the time. We enrolled 25 patients in a direct intra-individual comparison - same patient, same tracer injection, scanned first on a conventional PET/CT and then immediately on the Total Body system. Tracers included F-18 FDG, Ga-PSMA & DOTATATE, F-18 DCFPyL, and I-124. Striking results:: 83% reduction in acquisition time (2.5 min vs 15 min) - with superior image quality, and significantly better sharpness and lesion conspicuity. Remarkably, in 68% of patients, reviewers identified small lesions on Total Body PET that would have been missed on conventional imaging. Congratulations to Dr Alicia Corlett for an awesome oral presentation, Dr Cameron Pain, @pj_physics and all the co-investigators. Thanks to @Cancer_Research , @NIFAus, @unimelb and @PCF_Science for supporting this research. This was an investigator-initiated trial, funded by GE HealthCare. Link to abstract and images in comments..

@declangmurphy discusses the PROTEUS trial #ASCO26 - no real concerns about ADT as a comparator in the control arm. Notably complete responses are really uncommon in both arms. @ASCO @PCF_Science

LBA1/Plenary #ASCO26: PROTEUS trial Perioperative apalutamide ADT vs. placebo ADT with radical prostatectomy in HR localized or locally advanced PC Our very own #DrMaryEllenTaplin from @DanaFarber_GU will take the stage at #ASCO26 and present phase 3 PROTEUS trial. This is a key multimodal treatment question and could shift the paradigm on how we think about systemic therapy in the perioperative setting. Dr Taplin has worked on countless Neoadjuvant Strategies in prostate cancer and it is rewarding to see her work materialize at the big stage ! @DanaFarber @DanaFarber_GU @ASCO @OncoAlert

Clink link to article in European Urology. PSMA total tumour volume at 3months predicts overall survival independent of treatment in ENZAp. This raises important questions about how we should be measuring progression on PSMA. @ANZUPtrials @PCF_Science authors.elsevier.com/a/1mv80…

Safety and dosing of lutetium-PSMA in the pre-chemotherapy #PSMAfore trial. Oliver Sartor, MD @EJHospital sits down with @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter reviewing PSMAfore safety data showing lutetium PSMA-617 is better tolerated in chemo‑naïve mCRPC than in the heavily pretreated VISION cohort, with fewer AEs and cytopenias. Standard dosing is 7.4 GBq q6w × 6, but he stresses tailoring to bone disease burden, confirming PSMA PET positivity, and checking counts/renal function—especially as many patients now prefer #Pluvicto over chemotherapy. #WatchNow > bit.ly/3OAiOYt @PCFnews @PCF_Science
