CDK12 mutation

We have had Foundation One test and Gradient Blood biopsy which both report CDK12 mutation.

There is no “definitive” SOC for this rare mutation.

We are in yr 5 since RP surgery, radiation, and two rounds of Lupron/Casodex.

The Lupron/Casodex has stopped working. PSA went from .9 to 2.9 in 6 months.

He had a PSMA scan two weeks ago … and it came back as “clear” of any activity. No change since PSMA scan in September of 2020.

With his PSA being 2.9 I would think something would have shown up on PSMA scan.

Dr. Antonarakas is suggesting Nebuqa (sp?) with Casodex as next line of treatment.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

The Magnitude Trial showed effectiveness of Zytiga+PARP inhibitor in patients who are CDK12+:

Other clinical trials worth considering are linked in my response on this thread:

Not all tumors express PSMA. Discuss the following trial with Antonarakis. It suggests that a triplet therapy of Nubeqa+ADT+chemo may get superior results. The trial used Xtandi but it would probably work with Nubeqa too:
