News From Industry: TALAPRO Update in #ProstateCancer
Source Businesswire and Pfizer

buff.ly/HTeEtmv

Pfizer reports the Phase 3 TALAPRO-3 trial showed that talazoparib plus enzalutamide significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival in patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, exceeding the target hazard ratio. Benefits were consistent across BRCA and non-BRCA mutations. An interim analysis indicated a strong trend toward improved overall survival.

💫🌟FDA Approves IsoPSA® — a new blood-based test to refine biopsy decisions in prostate cancer
@OncoAlert @APCCC_Lugano @MedicalwatchHQ
IsoPSA (Cleveland Diagnostics) becomes the first structure-based PSA assay approved via PMA, offering more accurate risk assessment for cer. Key points 👇

🔵 Detects cancer-specific structural variants of the PSA protein
🔵 Indicated for men ≥50 with elevated PSA considering biopsy
🔵 Based on large prospective multicenter study (14 sites, US)
🔵 Aims to reduce unnecessary biopsies — up to 75% currently negative
🔵 Already included in NCCN 2025 & AUA/SUO 2023 guidelines
🔵 Builds on the IsoClear™ protein-structure platform

A meaningful step toward precision early detection

🟠 LBA109 – DISCUS: 3 vs 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy before Avelumab maintenance in advanced urothelial carcinoma
👨‍⚕️ Presented by Dr. Enrique Grande (@drenriquegrande)
#ESMO25 @OncoAlert @MedicalwatchHQ

➡️ Phase II DISCUS compared 3 vs 6 cycles of platinum-based r carbo/gem) before Avelumab maintenance in untreated advanced UC.
⚡ N = 267; 133 (3C) vs 134 (6C).
⭐ QoL improved with 3C → +8.5 points (p = 0.016).
💡 OS: 18.9 mo in both arms (HR 1.15; p = 0.56).
👉 PFS: 8.0 vs 9.0 mo (HR 1.05; p = 0.79).
⚠️ Grade 3–4 TRAEs: 11.9% (3C) vs 15.7% (6C).
🔆 Conclusion: Shorter induction (3 cycles) followed by Avelumab maintenance preserves efficacy while improving QoL — supporting treatment de-escalation in advanced UC.

🟠 LBA108 – POTOMAC: Durvalumab + BCG vs BCG alone in BCG-naïve high-risk NMIBC
👩‍⚕️ Presented by Dr. Maria De Santis
#ESMO25 @OncoAlert @MedicalwatchHQ
➡️ POTOMAC (Phase III, randomized, open-label, international) evaluated Durvalumab + BCG induction + maintenance (I+M) vs BCG e, high-risk NMIBC.
⚡ Median follow-up: 60.7 mo (N = 1018).
⭐ Primary endpoint – DFS: met with 32% risk reduction of recurrence or death → HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.50–0.93; p = 0.015).
💡 24-mo DFS: 86.5% (D+BCG I+M) vs 81.6% (BCG I+M).
👉 Secondary endpoint – D+BCG induction-only arm not significant (HR 1.14).
⚠️ Grade 3/4 TRAEs: 21% (D+BCG I+M) vs 4% (BCG I+M); no treatment-related deaths.
🔆 Take-home: One year of Durvalumab with BCG (I+M) delivers a statistically and clinically meaningful DFS benefit and emerges as a new therapeutic option for BCG-naïve high-risk NMIBC.

At @myESMO #esmo2025 Berlin, I had the privilege to present the #ALBAN trial (GETUG–AFU 37), an academic phase III study led by @AFUrologie & @GETUG_Unicancer @LaCarine1 together with my outstanding co-PI @y_loriot ,co-investigators @PignotG @champiatMD @PrRomainMATHIEU @ThgieParis and many others across 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇪🇸.
Atezolizumab + BCG did not improve EFS vs BCG alone (HR 0.98; 95% CI 0.71–1.36).
The result was negative across all subgroups, including CIS.
Higher ≥G3 TRAEs were observed in the combination arm.
These findings highlight that in localized #BladderCancer, systemic toxicity assessment remains a key endpoint to balance benefit and risk.
Proud of this collective academic journey started in 2017 — despite the global BCG shortage and COVID-19 — and now published in @Annals_Oncology
