Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide is one of the principal treatments for metastatic prostate cancer. Most patients respond. However, a subset is primary refractory. Seeking to understand enzalutamide extreme non-response (ENR), we analyzed RNA-sequencing in biopsies from men treated prospectively on an enzalutamide clinical trial. We focused on those with ENR (progression within 3 months) vs. long-term response (progression after 24 months). We identified an ENR program linked to proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and stemness. High expression of this program in additional datasets was independently linked to poor tumor control with AR targeting but favorable tumor control with docetaxel, another standard treatment. CDK2 was implicated in the ENR program. CDK2 suppression reduced the ENR program and viability of ENR program-high prostate cancer models. The ENR gene program is predictive of non-response to AR targeting. Patients whose tumors harbor this program may be good candidates for docetaxel or CDK2 inhibitor clinical trials.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
