STEAP1 is a protein on the surface of most prostate cancer cells, now the address for a T-cell engager in phase 3.
Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 1 is expressed in most prostate cancers including PSMA-low and neuroendocrine-like disease, with limited normal expression. Xaluritamig (STEAP1×CD3 XmAb 2+1) produced PSA50 in ~half of heavily pretreated mCRPC patients at target doses in phase 1 and is in two phase 3 trials (XALute post-taxane; XALience with abiraterone chemo-naive). Also an ADC target historically (vandortuzumab vedotin, discontinued).
In plain words · STEAP1 is a protein on the surface of most prostate cancer cells, now the address for a T-cell engager in phase 3.

STEAP1 is a metalloreductase at cell junctions, upregulated by androgen receptor signalling; its expression is partly independent of PSMA, making it complementary.
1 product aims at STEAP1: bispecific antibodies. Because it sits on the outside of the cell, it can be reached from the bloodstream: antibodies flag the cell, ADCs deliver a toxin, radioligands deliver radiation, and CAR-T or bispecifics bring a T cell.
Tumour-associated overexpression: 1 cell-killing or cell-finding medicine (Xaluritamig) aim at the antigen, which HPA finds with no normal tissue stained high; the medicine relies on the tumour carrying more of it than the normal tissue it shares it with. HPA STEAP1: RNA tissue enhanced (prostate 79 nTPM); no normal tissue stained high; highest cancer staining lung cancer (1 of 11 high). Distribution: 1 cancer family in the corpus carries a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Prostate cancer); Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 5 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)

Xaluritamig is Amgen's T-cell engager for prostate cancer, now in two phase 3 trials, aiming to do for prostate cancer what tarlatamab did for small-cell lung cancer.
