Replying to @AarmstrongDuke
@AarmstrongDuke presented provocative phase 2 data for a 4 drug chemo-IO regimen in NEPC, crushing historical 6 mo rPFS for platinum-based chemo (75%v55%) @DukeHealth @DukeCancer @DukeGUCancer
Dear Colleagues at #ASCO26 @OncoAlert 🚨Straight from the podium to your Feed, Proud to have @AarmstrongDuke 🇺🇸from Duke Cancer Institute discussing: Phase 2 multicenter trial of chemoimmunotherapy for patients with neuroendocrine or aggressive variant metastatic prostate cancer (CHAMP). Just presented at #ASCO26 The phase II CHAMP trial demonstrated promising activity of cabazitaxel, carboplatin, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in metastatic neuroendocrine and aggressive-variant #ProstateCancer . The regimen achieved a 78% 6-month radiographic PFS rate and median rPFS of 12 months, outperforming historical platinum chemotherapy benchmarks, with manageable toxicity and durable responses in select patients. @AarmstrongDuke @DrLaurenFHoward @DrChrisHoimes @LandonBrownMD @cnsternberg @aaparicioMD @BSiddiquiMD @Daniel_J_George Ping OncoAlert Faculty @montypal @crisbergerot @DrDanielHeng @apolo_andrea @DrChoueiri @PGrivasMDPhD @TiansterZhang @HHammersMD @ravikanesvaran @neerajaiims @amerseburger @sonpavde @drenriquegrande @scserendipity1 @Silke_Gillessen @EfstathiouEleni @tompowles1 @BraunMDPhD @nataliagandur @cdanicas @brian_rini @AOmlin @yekeduz_emre @DrYukselUrun @scocmem @AmandaNizamMD @weoncologists

Check out the data from PSMAfore biomarker analysis: Huge prognostic significance in baseline and 6-week on treatment ctDNA levels and outcomes. Adds to PSA 50 response as well. Could guide future management in this earlier disease setting. ⁦⁦⁦@DukeCancer#GU25

CHEERS @LondonProstate1. Also very much acknowledged your foundation work in this area Hashim. Two great studies. We don’t need any more evidence. These two papers will also enable reimbursement for MRI around the world #EAU18 x.com/londonprostate1/status…

Spot on with conclusions from @declangmurphy about the new paradigm in prostate cancer diagnosis following PRECISION RCT in NEJM today. Message for UK urology departments - shift practice urgently for all men. #EAU18 @NHSEnglandLDN @NHSEngland
