Toni Choueiri: Exciting advances in prostate cancer treatment at ASCO24!

Petros Grivas shared a post by Toni Choueiri, on X:

“Promising data by Dr. Morris on novel anti-hK2 targeted agent in mCRPC! Interesting mechanism with durable responses but ILD and low PLT were dose limiting. ”

Quoting Toni Choueiri‘s post:

“Exciting advances in prostate cancer treatment at ASCO24!

JNJ-6420, a novel anti-hK2 Ab-based targeted radiotherapy, shows promising results in heavily pretreated mCRPC patients.

Despite notable adverse events, profound and durable responses were observed at ≥150 μCi doses.”
