With this integration, imaging data from the DeepHealth software can be readily imported to the Trinity 3D Ultrasound Platform for prostate fusion biopsy.

The recommended phase 2 dose was determined to be rogaratinib at 600 mg in combination with atezolizumab at 1200 mg.

Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was previously granted a priority review designation from the MHLW.

According to the authors, these findings from the VOLGA trial suggest that ctDNA may be a potential biomarker to predict therapeutic benefit in patients with MIBC.

"Interestingly, the findings from this study have already translated into an investigator-initiated clinical trial," says John P. Sfakianos, MD.

“Our findings suggest that high PSMA tumors may respond better to AR-targeting therapies. Tumors with low PSMA possess markers of cancer stem cells and are associated with resistance to radiotherapy," the authors write.

No patients in the transperineal cohort experienced an infection, compared with 1.6% of patients in the transrectal cohort.

“Our PPP nomograms accurately stratify high- vs. low-risk groups for overall survival in early and late stages of prostate cancer and yield better prediction than established clinical risk tools," wrote the authors.

According to the authors, "These results support the use of Benmelstobart plus anlotinib as a new first-line treatment for advanced RCC.”

At a median follow-up of 9 months, the confirmed objective response rate to disitamab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was 75% in the overall population.

Patients with at least 1 NE-positive marker were shown to have a worsened rPFS and OS.

According to the authors, data from the CONTACT-02 trial show that cabozantinib plus atezolizumab may benefit selected patients with mCRPC.

“What we’ve shown is [EV/pembrolizumab] outperforming chemotherapy in all subgroups," says Thomas B. Powles, MBBS, MRCP, MD.

On Cox regression analysis, glycoproteins were predictive of PFS response to nivolumab plus cabozantinib vs sunitinib (P < .01).

Data from the TiNivo-2 trial showed a median progression-free survival of 5.7 months in the tivozanib plus nivolumab arm vs 7.4 months in tivozanib monotherapy arm.

Based on preliminary data, the Safety Review Committee has recommended that the trial proceed with dosing the final 3 patients in the cohort.

“As health care professionals, we should take a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the stress of a cancer diagnosis by helping mitigate financial toxicity, treatment burden, and emotional impact on both the patient and their family," says Mouneeb M. Choudry, MD.

“NSD2 is a cancer specific collaborator of the androgen receptor that essentially rewires its activity to support prostate cancer development," says Abhijit Parolia, PhD,

The ZIRCON trial reported high accuracy of TLX250-CDx in detecting and characterizing ccRCC in patients with indeterminate renal masses.

“We hope to learn more about the urinary tract and then be able to correlate predisposition to UTIs or other urological conditions with urobiome composition or marker microbe presence,” says Tatyana A. Sysoeva, PhD.

Piflufolastat (18F) is being produced at 2 Curium facilities in Madrid and 1 in Sevilla.

Data showed that vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA, oral ospemifene, and vaginal moisturizers may provide benefit in the management of symptoms related to GSM.

Follow Urology Times' coverage of the full-day FDA advisory committee meeting regarding Iterum Therapeutics' new drug application for oral sulopenem for uncomplicated urinary tract infection.

The company expects the device to become available for US patients with pelvic organ prolapse in September 2024.

"The urgency to increase awareness about prostate cancer is underscored by our most recent data and analysis," says William L. Dahut, MD.

“Our study reveals potential differences in tolerance and effectiveness of AR inhibitors in practice, which can help clinicians and patients with treatment decisions," says Daniel J. George, MD.

“We saw in the survey that men are concerned with how the health decisions they make now will affect them in the future,” says Petar Bajic, MD.

“Our study highlights critical gaps in health care equity when it comes to treatments that have been shown effective in prolonging survival,” says Solomon Woldu, MD.

YOLT-203 is currently being assessed in the early phase 1 YOLT-203-101 trial.
