Warming Up the Cold: A New Hope for Immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer

Ok, Phase 1 data were encouraging, but the sample was small, only 35 patients. But 21% had a PSA decline > 30%, which is not bad at all compared to the usual results of immunotherapies for the prostate (<10%). There is a lot to do still, but it's a good starting point.

Prostate cancer, especially in advanced stages, has long resisted immunotherapy due to its “cold” nature, meaning it’s largely invisible to the immune system. Recent research, however, identifies a key reason: SPP1+ macrophages and adenosine signaling, both of which shield cancer cells from immune response. A new drug, ciforadenant, blocks adenosine’s effects, reactivating immune cells. In early trials, combining ciforadenant with atezolizumab has shown promise, especially in patients identified with an “Adenosine Gene Signature,” a biomarker for treatment response. This strategy offers new hope in overcoming prostate cancer’s immunotherapy resistance.

I link my own repository...I hope you don't mind! 😜

Patrick and Nal got banned and I loved those guys they had so much knowledge to share just a shame that this happens in the US where we should value free speech

Is it the link they object to? That would be strange since TA often links to his external site. Strange. Yes we miss Nal

both the link and the money request, which was not mandatory and I thought the tone was fun enough to understand it was mainly a joke
