ANZUP Cancer Trials Group
The Australian genitourinary trials group behind TheraP and proPSMA, the trials that put PSMA imaging and lutetium-PSMA therapy on the map.
Formed in 2008 to unite Australia and New Zealand's prostate, kidney, bladder, testicular and penile cancer researchers. ANZUP 1603 TheraP was the first randomised trial of lutetium-177 PSMA-617, showing higher PSA response than cabazitaxel and paving the way for VISION and the Pluvicto approval, and proPSMA (ANZUP 1702) showed PSMA PET-CT outperforms conventional imaging for staging high-risk prostate cancer. ENZAMET and ENZARAD tested enzalutamide with docetaxel and with radiotherapy. Trials are run through the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre at the University of Sydney, and consumer advisory panels are built into every study.
- TheraP (Lu-PSMA vs cabazitaxel)
- proPSMA (PSMA PET staging)
- ENZAMET / ENZARAD
- Bladder and kidney cancer trials
- Consumer involvement
Led proPSMA and TheraP, the trials that proved PSMA PET beats conventional imaging and that lutetium-PSMA beats chemotherapy.
Runs the medical oncology side of Peter Mac's theranostics programme, combining lutetium-PSMA with hormonal and immune therapies.
