Failed Docetaxel, Failed Pluvicto...Now What?

Posted by cal77 @cal77, 4 days ago

Anyone else failed at Apalutamide, Abiraterone, Docetaxel (Chemo) and now Pluvicto...
What next? Is there other treatment?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

If you have neuroendocrine prostate cancer, then you wanna look for a DLL three trial. That is after you have tried cabazitaxel with Carboplatin

Otherwise, about the only thing available are clinical trials

Clinical trials CRPC treatments when all else fails new treatments

The study focused on men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer – an aggressive form of the disease that has spread and no longer responds to hormone-blocking treatments.

Researchers Uncover a Promising New Way To Stop Prostate Cancer From Spreading

I attended a presentation yesterday of an extremely interesting treatment for prostate cancer that is in phase 2 trials. It involves using a probe they put directly into a metastasis and it freezes the center, and then they put in a drug that spreads throughout the body and kills all metastasis. It’s been very successful in trials, they are using three different doses right now and trying to figure out which two should be part of the third phase of the trial.

Where has your prostate cancer spread to: tissue only; tissue and bone; bone only?

In what country are you located? Is Actinium-225 approved where you live?

Are you a candidate for immunotherapy?

Are you a candidate for PARP inhibitor therapies?

There are combination regimens that are available:
> enzalutamide (Xtandi) with talazoparib (Talzenna): https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/fda-talazoparib-enzalutamide-prostate-cancer

> Akeega (Zejula (niraparib) with Zytiga (Abiraterone)): https://www.onclive.com/view/novel-combination-regimens-are-expanding-the-prostate-cancer-treatment-paradigm

A couple of years ago, there were a number of therapies being studied (see attached chart from a Mayo Clinic webinar). You might want to follow up to see if any of these panned out.

As always, discuss all this with your doctor.

As @jeffmarc has illustrated, there are clinical trials which might accept you; but waiting to get into some of them can be a problem.
Have you asked your MO about BAT - an alternating regimen of ADT and Testosterone (yes, that’s it) which can ‘confuse’ cancer cells and trick them into not growing or spreading. Often called Bi-Polar treatment.
As with everything PCa related, sone men react highly favorably and others not so much. It is ‘however’ worth a shot. Best,
Phil
