Abiraterone Acetate Triggers ER Stress-Mediated Androgen Receptor Suppression via PERK/ATF4/CHOP Signaling in Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Urol)
AA induces ER stress, leading to transcriptional downregulation of the AR and suppression of PCa cell viability and proliferation. Targeting the PERK pathway may enhance AA efficacy in AR-driven PCa.

Circulating Tumor DNA as a Biomarker for Precision Medicine in Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
BRCA1/2-mutant patients benefited from Olaparib plus Abiraterone, while persistent alterations predicted early progression. We recommend unified reporting standards (e.g., variant allele frequency thresholds and panel composition) and prioritized prospective trials to validate high-impact targets. These steps will accelerate the integration of ctDNA into routine precision oncology practice worldwide.

Patient-reported Outcomes for Men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Who Received Olaparib plus Abiraterone Versus Placebo plus Abiraterone in the Phase 3 PROpel Study. (PubMed, Eur Urol Oncol)
In PROpel, there were no differences in HRQoL or pain scores reported by patients with mCRPC receiving olaparib + abiraterone versus placebo + abiraterone, suggesting that patients can derive a clinical benefit from olaparib + abiraterone while maintaining similar HRQoL in comparison with current standard-of-care treatment. The PROpel trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03732820.

Prostate-specific Antigen and Objective Response Analyses in PROpel: Olaparib Plus Abiraterone Versus Placebo Plus Abiraterone as First-line Therapy for Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Eur Urol Oncol)
Results for ORR, DoR, confirmed PSA50-RR, and time to PSA progression favoured Ola + Abi over P + Abi in the ITT population and biomarker subgroups. The data support consideration of Ola + Abi as first-line treatment for mCRPC.

Impact of statins on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients receiving new hormonal agents. (PubMed, Arch Ital Urol Androl)
Our study suggests a prognostic impact of statin use in the PFS in patients receiving abiraterone or enzalutamide for mCRPC. This may be related to the enhancement of the antitumor activity of the ADT drugs, but also to the cardioprotective effects associated with statin use.

The Germline HSD3B1 Variant Is Associated With Response to Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Abiraterone but not With Response to Enzalutamide in Chinese Prostate Cancer Patients. (PubMed, Prostate)
The HSD3B1 germline variant (1245C) is linked to earlier ADT failure and diminished efficacy of abiraterone but does not affect enzalutamide in the treatment of PCa patients. These findings underscore its potential as a biomarker to guide personalized treatment in PCa.

Induction of apoptosis and growth inhibition by silodosin and abiraterone acetate in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, Investig Clin Urol)
Silodosin exhibits potent effects in reducing cell viability and promoting apoptosis in androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cells, comparable to AA. When combined, both agents demonstrate synergistic effects with reduced dosing requirements. These findings support further investigation of silodosin as a potential therapeutic in mCRPC.

Clinical Performance of tissue- and plasma-based diagnostic assays in identifying homologous recombination repair gene alterations in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer following the treatment with niraparib with abiraterone acetate and plus Prednisone (Niraparib + AAP). (PubMed, J Mol Diagn)
Clinically meaningful benefits for all endpoints were comparable for BRCA+ and HRR+ patients detected by either tissue or plasma assays. These results demonstrated the clinical utility of both tissue and plasma assays in identifying patients for NIRA+AAP treatment.
