N Engl J Med. 2019;381:13-24). At the 2020 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, post hoc analysis data were presented which showed that addition of apalutamide to ADT also prolonged PFS2 (defined as the time from randomization to disease progression on 1st subsequent prostate cancer therapy or death, whichever occurred first) regardless of the type (hormonal or taxane) of the 1st subsequent life-prolonging therapy.

This approval was based on the positive progression-free survival (PFS) data from a randomized, open-label, two-arm, phase 3 trial, ICARIA-MM; at a median follow-up of 11.6 months, median PFS was 11.5 months in the Isa-Pd arm versus 6.5 months in the Pd arm. Isatuximab represents an important new treatment option for patients with RRMM, especially those who are refractory to lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.

Dr. Linda Malkas of City of Hope presents the Grand Rounds lecture at Eisenhower Health where she talks about her journey toward identifying proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) as a potentially major player in cancer, and an early development of a small molecule inhibitor of a cancer-associated form of PCNA. She also discusses potential advantages of targeting molecular hubs, as opposed to targeting enzymatic activities, of cancer cells.
