Description

ASCO: You’re listening to a podcast from Cancer.Net. This cancer information website is produced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, known as ASCO, the world’s leading professional organization for doctors who care for people with cancer. The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform. This is not a substitute for professional medical care and is not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of individual conditions. Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. Cancer research discussed in this podcast is ongoing, so clinical trials described here may no longer be enrolling patients, and final results are not yet available.   Before any new cancer treatment can be approved for general use, it must be studied in a clinical trial in order to prove it is safe and effective. In today’s podcast, members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board discuss 3 clinical trials that are exploring new treatment options across prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer. This podcast will be led by Dr. Timothy Gilligan, Dr. Sumanta (Monty) Pal, Dr. Petros Grivas, and Dr. Tian Zhang. Dr. Gilligan is an Associate Professor and Medical Oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center. He has no relevant relationships to disclose. Dr. Pal is co-director of City of Hope's Kidney Cancer Program and is the head of the kidney and bladder cancer disease team at the institution. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Astellas Pharma, Exelixis, and Pfizer. Dr. Grivas is the clinical director of the Genitourinary Cancers Program at University of Washington Medicine. He is also an associate member of the clinical research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Exelixis, Merck, and Pfizer. Dr. Zhang is an assistant professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine and is a medical oncologist at Duke Cancer Institute. She has served in a consulting or advisory role for Exelixis, Merck, and Pfizer. View full disclosures for Dr. Gilligan, Dr. Pal, Dr. Grivas, and Dr. Zhang at Cancer.Net. Dr. Gilligan: Hi. I'm Dr. Timothy Gilligan from the Cleveland Clinic. I'm joined today by Dr. Monty Pal from the City of Hope Cancer Center, Dr. Petros Grivas from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and University of Washington, and Dr. Tian Zhang from Duke Cancer Institute. Today, we're going to discuss three ongoing clinical trials in prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer. As you may know, clinical trials are the main way the doctors are able to find better treatment for cancer and other diseases. Patient participation is vital for clinical trials. By participating in a clinical trial, you can directly help researchers develop better treatment, reduce side effects, or even reduce the risk of cancer all together. The three trials we'll discuss today were chosen by members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board Genitourinary Cancers Panel from the trials and progress abstracts that were presented at ASCO's 2020 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Because these are ongoing clinical trials, final results from these studies are not available yet. I'd like to note that none of us have any direct involvement with any of these trials. To view our full disclosures, please visit the show notes for this episode on Cancer.Net. So to get started, the first study we'll discuss is the TALAPRO-2 trial for prostate cancer, [Talazoparib + Enzalutamide vs. Enzalutamide Monotherapy in mCRPC (TALAPRO-2)] and Dr. Pal is going to discuss this. So if we could get started, just to begin with, who is the study designed for? Dr. Pal: Thanks a lot, Dr. Gilligan. Well, this study addresses a unique disease population. It's patients with prostate cancer that's metastatic, and that implies that the cancer has migrated out of the prostate to ot
