🚨 FDA Approves capivasertib Plus Abiraterone as First Targeted Therapy for PTEN-Deficient Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Source AstraZeneca buff.ly/ldFb96p The FDA has approved capivasertib in combination with abiraterone and prednisone as the first targeted therapy for patients with PTEN-deficient metastatic androgen pathway modulation-naïve or sensitive #ProstateCancer . Approval was based on the Phase III CAPItello-281 trial, which demonstrated a 19% reduction in the risk of radiographic progression or death and improved median radiographic progression-free survival by 7.5 months. The decision also highlights the growing importance of biomarker-driven treatment and PTEN testing in advanced prostate cancer. @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 #OncoAlertAF @nataliagandur @realbowtiedoc @Onco_Cifu88 @scocmem

Dear Colleagues in #Prostate Cancer Introducing #APCCC26 Live from Lugano🇨🇭with @OncoAlert RT ADT ± ARPI in high-risk localized prostate cancer—where do we stand? Drs. Bertrand Tombal, Christopher Sweeney, and Jeff Michalski discuss patient selection, biomarkers, reimbursement challenges, pelvic nodal RT, and the evidence shaping treatment intensification. in this video: 👇 How should ARPIs be integrated into practice?

CIRCULATE AIO/ABCSG trial ctDNA strongly prognostic: 3-y DFS 52% vs 87%. ITT negative; PP suggests chemo benefit: DFS 77% vs 38%; HR 0.31.

I wrote about where belzutifan fits across the RCC continuum in @OncJournal. Today's adjuvant approval (LITESPARK-022) sits right next to LITESPARK-011 in the post-PD-(L)1 setting, where belzutifan lenvatinib beat cabozantinib on PFS (14.8 vs 10.7 mo, HR 0.70) and ORR (53% vs 40%) and most impactful nearly doubled duration of response. The throughline: earlier HIF-2α targeting may buy durability, but patient selection and careful monitoring of toxicity, and OS immature in both datasets 👉 bit.ly/Beckermann-Belzutifan…

New paper just out in @EurUrolOncol - outcomes of patients with intermediate-risk NMIBC when treated with contemporary protocols? We analyzed 578 patients across 4 RCTs. IR NMIBC defined as per @IBCG_BladderCA and 2019 EAU Guidelines - only LG tumors. Real-world relevant data. Here is what we found. 🧵 Ohttps://euoncology.europeanurology.com/article/S2588-9311(26)00127-6/fulltext

Iza-Bren is very effective (not only in TNBC) but its profile is also very chemo-like. What’s the targeted contribution vs non-specific uptake? Iza-Bren half-life is ~1 day! What’s the correlation with EGFR expression? HER3 expression? Co-expression of both EGFR and HER3?
Impressive results from a phase 3 trial of Iza-Bren (anti-HER3/EGFR TOPO1 ADC) vs chemo in pretreated mTNBC, with improvement in PFS and OS. High rate of hematologic toxicities, including 5% febrile neutropenia. Phase 3 ongoing to confirm these results in a global population.

One of my favorite abstracts of this #ASCO26 - reduced denosumab dose intensity (q12w) is NON inferior to q4w in pts with mBC or mCRPC, with improved safety profile in terms of risk of hypocalcemia and osteonecrosis of the jaw Practice changing!! @OncoAlert
