“In the future, this imaging technique can help to streamline the drug development process, driving conviction in the agents we bring to larger scale trials," says Stephen Rose, PhD.

"In terms of the minimal overlapping toxicity, our non-clinical data from the xenograft model showed minimal toxicity with the combination," says Caroline Foxton, PhD.

"Our clinical trial is the first to show a longer time to biochemical recurrence with chemotherapy plus standard hormone therapy for patients with locally advanced, high-risk prostate cancer," says Jiahua Pan, MD.

iTind is a temporary nitinol device used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The 3 new additional studies are the ABLE-22, ABLE-32, and ABLE-42 clinical trials.

"As a kidney cancer community, we need to investigate these molecular subtypes prospectively in clinical trials to determine whether specific subtypes benefit from certain therapies or not," says David A. Braun, MD, PhD.

The IND will initiate the launch of a phase 3 study to explore the safety and efficacy of UGN-103 in patients with low-grade, intermediate-risk NMIBC.

The study is exploring the small activating RNA therapy RAG-01 in patients with BCG-unresponsive non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Since piflufolastat (18F) was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in July 2023, doses have been commercially sold in Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Data showed that 87.8% of treated patients and 96.1% of patients who completed the study achieved normal 24-hour mean plasma testosterone values (222 to 800 ng/dL) at 90-day follow-up.

"The new results show that the 3-step method now used produces fewer insignificant cancer diagnoses than PSA screening,” says Anssi Auvinen, MD, PhD.

The approval is based on findings from the phase 3 RENOTORCH trial, which showed that toripalimab plus axitinib prolonged progression-free survival and improved the objective response rate in patients with advanced RCC compared with sunitinib.

“Our trial presents the first and the longest durable response we have seen with an allogeneic, off-the-shelf, CAR T cell therapy in the treatment of refractory solid tumors," says Samer A. Srour, MB ChB, MS.

Data showed an increase in participant knowledge in 5 of the 10 items on the Prostate Cancer Knowledge Scale and a decrease in all 10 items on the Decisional Conflict Scale after watching the video.

"Overall, this vaccine is safe in the long term and our participants reported having fewer UTIs that were less severe," says Bob Yang, MBBS, FRCS.

"This encouraging anti-tumor activity coupled with a favorable safety profile and mode of administration that is both convenient and familiar to urologists indicates that, if confirmed in future studies, TARA-002 could potentially play a meaningful role in NMIBC treatment in the future," says Timothy D. Lyon, MD.

Overall survival was 100% at 12 months and 98% at 18 months among patients with MIBC who remained ctDNA-negative on serial monitoring.

"Even the possibility of something really big and revolutionary can still be exciting even if we're in the early stages," says Colin Goudelocke, MD.

"In this follow-up analysis of the phase 3 study, we demonstrated a sustained response to Adstiladrin treatment over 3 years, allowing more than half of the patients in the study to remain cystectomy free for at least 36 months,” says Colin P.N. Dinney, MD.

“Given that non-Hispanic Black men were 4 years younger than the non-Hispanic White men, these data suggest that microvascular dysfunction may appear earlier in non-Hispanic Black men following a prostate cancer diagnosis," says Abigayle B. Simon.

"Use code 51702 for the routine insertion of an indwelling bladder catheter, such as a Foley," write Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, and Mark Painter.

Colin Goudelocke, MD, describes an abstract presented at the 2024 Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction Winter Meeting.

The expanded label for 177Lu-PSMA-617 would include patients with mCRPC in the pre-taxane-based chemotherapy setting.

“Systemic therapy for RCC has changed very quickly. Every year, it's exciting to see that we're getting new developments, new drug approvals, and changes in the standard of care,” says Wenxin (Vincent) Xu, MD.

The authors also project an 85% increase in the number of deaths from prostate cancer per year, which would bring the total number from 375,000 in 2020 to nearly 700,000 by 2040.
