Daniel P. Petrylak, MD, Director of Genitourinary Oncology, Professor of Medicine and Urology, Co-Leader of Cancer Signaling Networks, and Co-Director of the Signal Transduction Program at Yale University Cancer Center, discusses the various trials currently evaluating immunotherapies for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). To this point, Dr. Petrylak explains, there have not been many obvious survival benefits from immunotherapy in prostate cancer, except in patients with specific tumor mutations; therefore, sipuleucel-T and pembrolizumab are currently the only FDA-approved immunotherapeutic agents for CRPC. Fortunately, numerous trials are underway that study more effective ways to use immunotherapies for prostate cancer, including trials to improve sipuleucel-T, trials researching vaccine-based immunotherapy regimens, and numerous combination therapy trials. Dr. Petrylak also discusses alternative approaches to immune treatment, including CAR-T cell and BiTE studies in CRPC.
