Discovery of Dihydropyrimido-Pyrimidine-Based Bone Marrow Tyrosine Kinase Gene in Chromosome X Protein Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, ACS Med Chem Lett)
It exhibited potent antiproliferative effects on prostate cancer cells. These results indicate that BMX-PROTACs are potential therapeutic candidates for prostate cancer.

Prevalence of homologous recombination repair genes alterations in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a multicentric study. (PubMed, Fr J Urol)
In this study, testing contributivity was similar or higher that of other studies in the literature, and observed mutations prevalences were similar to that of other screenings of western populations. Harmonising per-centres protocols and enhancing molecular testing contributivity with the screening of circulating DNA samples and expanding its range by including non-BRCA HRR-related genes in all reference centres will enable more patients to be accurately treated by targeted therapies.

Targeting oncogenic TβRI signaling inhibits androgen-independent prostate cancer growth and metastasis. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
Notably, the therapeutic effect was comparable to that of docetaxel, a current standard-of-care chemotherapy, without noticeable side effects on body weight, proximal aorta or heart function detected in immune-deficient mice. These findings suggest that targeting TβRI cleavage using specific mAbs is a novel precision medicine approach for the treatment of mCRPC. By selectively blocking the prometastatic activity of TβRI-ICD without disrupting physiological TGFβ signaling, this strategy may provide a safer and more effective alternative to existing therapies for advanced prostate cancer.

Case Report: [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 therapy in a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and intracranial meningioma. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The hematological parameters remained stable for the whole period of observation. The presented clinical case report describes a unique positive experience on the use of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 therapy in mCRPC and brain meningioma, thus allowing us to expand our understanding of PSMA RLT as a method for the treatment of not only prostatic tumors but also tumors of non-prostatic locations.

Impact of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) loss on radiobiological and immune response to radium-223 in prostate cancer in vitro models. (PubMed, Clin Transl Radiat Oncol)
These findings demonstrate that ATM-deficiency enhances radiobiological response and amplifies immune activation to 223Ra, supporting further pre-clinical evaluation of ATM loss as a determinant of response and therapeutic target to optimise 223Ra based strategies for mCRPC.
