Novel agents and clinical trials in castration-resistant prostate cancer: latest updates from 2023 ASCO-GU Cancers Symposium

Exp Hematol Oncol. 2023 Aug 1;12(1):68. doi: 10.1186/s40164-023-00430-1.

Abstract

Numerous novel and effective therapeutic agents and clinical trials addressing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) were reported during the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology-Genitourinary (ASCO-GU) Cancers Symposium. Notably, radionuclide drug conjugates (RDC), specifically 177Lu/111In-J591 and 225Ac-J591, exhibited enhanced therapeutic efficacy in treating patients with CRPC. Furthermore, promising treatment approaches for CRPC included dual anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade in rare tumors (DART)-Lorigerlimab, prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy-BPX-601, and protein kinase inhibitor (AKTi)-CAPltello-280. We have summarized the latest CRPC treatment strategies presented at the 2023 ASCO-GU Cancers Symposium, along with recent advances in CRPC clinical trials.
