Results of the Phase II Trial of Olaparib Plus Radium-223 Versus Radium-223 in Men With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With Bone Metastases (COMRADE) led by the PCCTC’s Dr. Rana McKay published in JCO: ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
Olaparib plus radium-223 significantly prolonged rPFS compared with radium-223 in men with mCRPC and BM. Despite increased hematologic toxicity, the regimen was manageable and supports further exploration of DNA damage–targeted strategies in this population.

Recommended Clinical Context and Patient Context Data Elements for Liquid Biopsy Data Submitted to Data Repositories and Data Commons: In 2020, BLOODPAC recommended 11 pre-analytical minimal technical data elements for collection and submission of liquid biopsy data to public databases. This article expands on that work by recommending 22 clinical context and 10 patient context data elements. These elements, essential for liquid biopsy data submitted to repositories like the BLOODPAC Data Commons, cover tumor characteristics, disease progression, and patient demographics, supporting biomarker validation, research, and clinical trials.

Congratulations, Howard I. Scher, MD, recipient of the Urology Care Foundation's Richard D. Williams, MD Prostate Cancer Research Excellence Award!
Howard Scher, MD
Head, Biomarker Development Program
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Professor of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College
I am most honored to be the 2025 recipient of the Urology Care Foundation (UCF) Richard D. Williams, MD Prostate Cancer Research Excellence Award, and for the Society of Urologic Oncology and UCF for recognizing the transformative effect of co-developing innovative therapeutics along with biomarkers to better inform medical decision making and improve patient outcomes. The successful execution of this strategy was made possible by the mission-driven, multidisciplinary, multi-center collaborations established by the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC), a program enabled by the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and the Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) of the US Department of Defense (DOD), that I had the privilege to lead which to date has provided over 16,200 patients access to clinical trials of potentially breakthrough therapies, including those for patients with disease for which no life-prolonging therapeutic options exist. I would like to thank Howard Soule from the PCF and Jake Vinson from the PCCTC in achieving these successes. I am humbled by this honor and would like to thank the prostate cancer research community, study participants, and many advocates who have made these advances possible.
