Background: The CHAARTED trial investigated the long-term survival of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with or without docetaxel (D). This analysis focuses on 10-year overall survival (OS) stratified by disease volume and on-therapy PSA levels at 6 months.
Methods: OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method from randomization to death or last known alive date.
Purpose: In urothelial carcinoma, prior studies have indicated that the basal/squamous molecular subtype and the presence of select DNA damage response (DDR) gene alterations are associated with improved benefit from cisplatin-based chemotherapy. We sought to evaluate these biomarkers in specimens from the phase III Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 90601 trial.
Methods: We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing (n = 188) and exon capture DNA sequencing (n = 208) on pretreatment tumors from the CALGB 90601 randomized trial of gemcitabine/cisplatin plus bevacizumab or placebo in patients with treatment-naïve metastatic bladder cancer.
Background: Many patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCRPC) prefer to delay androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) due to its adverse effects, highlighting the need for better-tolerated, effective alternatives. A subgroup analysis of our prior Phase II trial showed that muscadine grape skin extract (MPX) increased PSA doubling time (PSADT) in patients with SOD2 Ala/Ala variant which provided the rationale for this trial.
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted at 14 sites, evaluated patients with BCRPC and SOD2 Ala/Ala genotype.
Background: Brain metastases (BMETS) from prostate cancer are rare. Hence, brain imaging in neurologically asymptomatic patients with advanced prostate cancer (aPC) is not routinely performed. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT uses a radiotracer that binds to prostate cancer epithelial cells and is FDA-approved for initial staging for high-risk prostate cancer, detecting prostate cancer recurrence, and determining eligibility for radionuclide therapy.
