Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Jamie Koprivnikar, MD Patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) lack treatment options, specifically in treating anemia. However, the FDA approval of Reblozyl (luspatercept-aamt) as a first-line therapy for treating anemia in ESA-naïve patients with lower-risk MDS presents an option for this patient population. Tune in to learn more about evaluating patients with MDS, the potential of Reblozyl, and where it fits into

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO TALAPRO-2 was a recent phase 3 study conducted in the first-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) setting. Patients were randomized to receive either enzalutamide plus talazoparib or enzalutamide plus placebo, and the researchers found that there was a 37 percent reduction in risk of progression or death among those who received enzalutamide plus talazoparib.

2024/02/15

Host: Rishi Sekar, MD A recent study sought to investigate why there are disparities in mortality as well as access and participation in clinical trials among vulnerable prostate cancer populations. According to the findings, counties in the United States that had the highest prostate cancer mortality were less likely to have any clinical trials in the area. Dive further into the results with Dr. Rishi Sekar, who presented the “Disparities in Prostate Cancer Mortality and Clinical

2024/01/29

Guest: Jessica E. Hawley M.D. M.S. For patients who start out with hormone sensitive prostate cancer, there's a period of time where the prostate cancer cells are responsive to suppressing testosterone production. So there’s a nice disease response early in that time period after diagnosis and when initial treatment has begun, but how long is each patient going to respond to that initial treatment, and what role does the multidisciplinary team have? Dive in with Dr. Jessica Hawley,
