    Abstract Checkpoint blockade and adoptive T cell therapy are efficacious in some patients, but many do not respond to these immunotherapies. Chou et al. recently elucidated the characteristics of a new cell population with greater cytotoxicity, improved tumor homing, and reduced exhaustion compared to conventional cytotoxic T cells. These cells may improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies, especially for patients refractory or unresponsive to current approaches.

    Abstract As precision oncology evolves toward developing more targeted therapies, sequencing has moved to the forefront of treatment decision-making. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has emerged as a technology capable of identifying candidates for rare and targeted treatments. Yet, because the tumor is constantly evolving during relapse and therapy resistance, the frequency with which WGS should be performed to identify potential new therapies for progressing patients remains unknown. A recent study in

    Abstract The focus of precision medicine is providing the right treatment to each unique patient. This scientific movement has incited monumental advances in oncology including the approval of effective, targeted agnostic therapies. Yet, precision oncology has focused largely on genomics in the treatment decision making process, and several recent clinical trials demonstrate that genomics is not the only variable to be considered. Drug screening in three dimensional (3D) models, including patient derived organoids, organs on a chip, xenografts, and 3D-bioprinted models provide a functional medicine perspective and necessary complement to genomic testing. In this review, we discuss the practicality of various 3D drug screening models and each model's ability to capture the patient's tumor microenvironment. We highlight the potential for enhancing precision medicine that personalized functional drug testing holds in combination with genomic testing and emerging mathematical models.

    Abstract Identification of actionable drug targets remains a rate-limiting step of, and one of the most prominent barriers to successful drug development for metastatic cancers. CRISPR-Cas9, a tool for making targeted genomic edits, has given rise to various novel applications that have greatly accelerated discovery in developmental biology. Recent work has coupled a CRISPR-Cas9-based lineage tracing platform with single-cell transcriptomics in the unexplored context of cancer metastasis. In this perspective, we briefly reflect on the development of these distinct technological advances and the process by which they have become integrated. We also highlight the importance of single-cell lineage tracing in oncology drug development and suggest the profound capacity of a high-resolution, computational approach to reshape cancer drug discovery by enabling identification of novel metastasis-specific drug targets and mechanisms of resistance.

    Abstract PARP inhibitors were recently introduced as a novel targeted therapy for biomarker positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients, a population that inevitably acquires resistance to existing standard care regimens. Olaparib and rucaparib are now FDA-approved for mCRPC, while talazoparib and niraparib are advancing through the clinical stage of development. We highlight the recent results of the GALAHAD trial testing the efficacy of niraparib in mCRPC patients with DNA damage repair gene defects and compare its performance to key PARP inhibitor trials (PROFOUND, olaparib; TRITON2, rucaparib; TALAPRO-1, talazoparib). Finally, we briefly discuss recent updates on emerging PARP inhibitor and androgen receptor targeting combination trials as a novel treatment strategy for upfront treatment of mCRPC and in earlier disease settings.

    Abstract The vast majority of the human proteome is yet to be functionally characterized thus hindering ongoing investigations on potential drug resistance mechanisms and advanced treatment options. Chemical proteomics is a powerful solution for enzyme profiling and the development of next generation cancer therapeutics previously deemed undruggable by small molecules. Within this field, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a specialized technology capable of discriminating enzyme interactions that occur within complex, biological environments. In a recent publication by Lovell et al, the kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) family of serine proteases that is highly implicated in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa) was subject to ABPP to elucidate enzymatic activities in the presence of enzalutamide. This is the first report of ABPP in PCa and of activity-based chemical probes selective for individual KLKs. Further, the study reveals androgen receptor-dependent activity among KLK proteins, particularly in mediating the invasion of the bone microenvironment.

    Abstract Prostate cancer has entered into the era of precision medicine with the recent approvals of targeted therapeutics (olaparib and rucaparib). The presence of germline mutations has important hereditary cancer implications for patients with prostate cancer, and germline testing is increasingly important in cancer screening, risk assessment, and the overall treatment and management of the disease. In this review, we discuss germline variants associated with inherited predisposition, prostate cancer risk and outcomes. We review recommendations for germline testing, available testing platforms, genetic counseling as well as discuss the therapeutic implications of germline variants relevant to prostate cancer treatments. Understanding the role of germline (heritable) mutations that affect prostate cancer biology and risk as well as the subsequent effect of these alterations on potential therapies is critical as the treatment paradigm shifts towards precision medicine. Furthermore, enhancing patient education tactics and healthcare system infrastructure is essential for the utilization of relevant predictive biomarkers and the improvement of clinical outcomes of patients with prostate cancer or at high risk of developing the disease.
