  • Publication number: 20200095314
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of prostate cancer, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of IL-23 and/or an inhibitor of IL-23R to a mammalian patient in need thereof. The prostate cancer may be castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The inhibitor may, for example, be an anti-IL-23 antibody, such as risankizumab, guselkumab or tildrakizumab. The method of treatment may further comprise administration of androgen deprivation therapy, such as enzalutamide. Also provided is a method of predicting the development of resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in a prostate cancer in a mammalian patient and a related screening method.
