Prostate Cancer Translational Research Group

Over the last decade, we have witnessed a revolution in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) which is an advanced and lethal form of prostate cancer. A deeper understanding of its underlying biology has led to the development of compounds targeting the androgen signalling pathway and the immune system, as well as taxanes and radiopharmaceuticals.

Our research model follows a bench-to-bedside-and-back approach. We have set up a platform for acquiring longitudinal samples from advanced prostate cancer patients, both tumor tissue as well as liquid biopsies, that can be used to investigate the evolving features of disease, as well as generate patient-derived laboratory models of advanced prostate cancer that we can leverage to investigate new therapeutic strategies at the bench.

Moreover, the launch of investigator-initiated clinical trials is central to our research strategy, as a platform for correlative studies that can optimize the drug development pathway for prostate cancer patients. We are currently the central laboratory for two academic multi-center clinical trials, and also serve as the national repository for the IRONMAN registry; an important international effort to build a large bank of clinical data and biospecimens from metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) patients.

We aim to integrate insights in molecular biology, genomics, transcriptomics, computational sciences and clinical data toward developing precision medicine strategies for prostate cancer patients. To do so, our team comprises biomedical scientists with expertise in cancer biology, genomics and transcriptomics, bioinformatics and liquid biopsy, as well as medical oncologists and clinical data managers.

One of our main lines of research is to decipher how prostate cancers adapt to exposure to systemic therapies, particularly androgen-targeting agents, with a particular focus on the cell cycle and DNA damage response regulation and the emergence of quiescent and senescent phenotypes that can drive drug resistance. By studying in-vitro and in-vivo models, including patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from the patients participating in our clinical studies, we aim to target emergent phenotypes through drug combinations. These studies are currently funded by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Health, Fundación FERO (FERO Foundation), Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer – AECC (Spanish Association Against Cancer), and through collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies.

Our group also aims to pursue the molecular characterization of advanced prostate cancer, focusing on how tumors evolve in a heterogeneous manner as they acquire resistance to different treatments. We have therefore established a genomics and transcriptomics platform in the lab to perform DNA and RNA profiling from patient biopsies. We are developing novel liquid biopsy assays that will enable us to study the disease through longitudinal samples. By exploiting publicly available genomics datasets from patients at different stages of disease, our computational scientists investigate how the genomic profile of disease changes over time. These studies are currently funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), the Spanish Ministry of Health, CRIS Cancer Foundation, AECC, Fundación FERO, and the ”la Caixa” Foundation.

Lastly, given that well-annotated correlative clinical data is crucial to establish the potential relevance of molecular data, our team maintains databases collecting outcome data for all patients who donate samples for our studies to perform subsequent correlative analysis.

To more rapidly advance the field, we believe in team science. We therefore participate in several different collaborations that pool resources and combine cross-border expertise across several different research teams and groups.

In summary, our research integrates different modalities of data generated in the lab that can lead to the design of therapeutic interventions aimed at improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients

  • Investigate correlations between patient molecular profiling and clinical outcome that can guide more precise prostate cancer treatment strategies.
  • Study how prostate cancers adapt to therapy, with a focus on targeting emerging vulnerabilities to delay disease recurrence.
  • Investigate tumor heterogeneity in response to therapy in preclinical and patient-derived xenograft models (PDX), as well as by interrogating patient biopsies.
  • Develop new liquid biopsy tools that can be used to monitor tumor evolution.
  • Apply computational pipelines toward investigating genomic signatures in prostate cancer.
  • Development of academic clinical trials to validate our laboratory results in the clinic, and leveraging patient biopsies for correlative studies.

Figure: Lethal prostate cancer has a distinct molecular landscape to localised, curable, prostate cancer. A better understanding of the prognostic and predictive value of different genomic biomarkers across the different disease clinical states can help to advance many of the unmet clinical needs for prostate cancer patients, listed in the right column of the figure.
