A recent study revealed a significant effect of the immunotherapy agent enoblituzumab (try pronouncing that one..) for high-risk prostate cancer patients:
There are a number of other articles about it - the use isn't only in prostate cancer, but it seemed to have the best results in high-risk prostate cancer patients
“Twenty-one patients, or 66%, had an undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level 12 months following surgery, suggesting that there was no sign of residual disease. Additionally, the drug was well-tolerated overall; no patients had any surgical delays or medical complications during or after the operatio”
Yes, this is very good NEWS!
We must also remember these were very Advanced PCa cases. I saved the article, although I am 2 yrs-4mos since Dx, and 1 yr-5mos since SABR of Prostate. The MAB Drugs seem to hold promise for extension of life, which brings us one step closer to extended remission. Mike
I read about this too. It's a very impressive outcome considering all patients were Gleason 8, 9, or 10. It may be the drug of the future for prostate cancer.
Why aren't we hearing more about Enoblituzumab? I read a phase 3 trial is planned but have not heard anything else.
