We aimed to identify the most promising clinically relevant PCa targets using RNA and protein expression levels across the PCa continuum-hormone-sensitive, castration-resistant, neuroendocrine, and \"double-negative\" prostate cancer (DNPC).EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNWe performed integration of a large single-cell transcriptomics atlas (JHU-PANORAMA, ~1 million cells and 213 patients) and PDX models for systematic investigation of clinically relevant surfaceome, followed by proteomic validation on patient samples and mechanistic investigations on PCa cell lines and patient samples.RESULTSB7-H3 was found to be the most uniformly expressed across the entire PCa continuum. JHU-PANORAMA is made available for interactive visualization as RShiny webapp. Further mitigation of therapeutic resistance is proposed through a systematic framework for bispecific antibody design, where B7-H3 demonstrated high combinatorial scores with TROP-2, NECTIN1, KLK2, and NECTIN4. B7-H3 was also shown to be negatively regulated by AR and synergistically inhibited tumor growth when combined with androgen inhibition.CONCLUSIONSB7-H3 demonstrates low inter-patient and intra-tumoral heterogeneity with significant synergistic effects in combination with AR inhibition. These properties could uniquely place B7-H3 as a broad-spectrum therapeutic target with the potential to combine B7-H3 based therapeutics with standard ADT for synergistic effects to overcome therapeutic resistance across the PCa disease continuum.","PeriodicalId":10279,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cancer Research","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147754893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baseline repeat scans assessed test-retest repeatability, followed by a post-cycle-1 scan in week 3. Dynamic imaging preceded static acquisitions at 90-, 120-, and 180-min (FDG) or 90-min (FLT), evaluating SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak and SULpeak. Tracer selection for Part B was based on prespecified repeatability and response criteria. Part B (clinical validity phase) examined associations between changes in SUV (ΔSUV) after one cycle and post-cycle-3 MRI, end-of-treatment MRI, and residual cancer burden (RCB) at surgery. Exploratory analyses assessed relationships between PET response, Ki-67, and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).RESULTSTwenty-two patients enrolled. Both tracers met repeatability thresholds; FDG was selected for Part B owing to superior image quality and availability. Fourteen patients underwent FDG-PET across both parts.
