ANZUP

ANZUP ANZUP's mission is to conduct clinical trial research to improve below the belt cancers.

22/12/2025

This Christmas, we’re standing with every person who wants more time, more joy, and more life. Not defined by fear but filled with possibility.

That’s why our clinical trials matter. They’re not just about finding answers for the future, they’re helping people today live longer, fuller and more meaningful lives.

Your support makes this possible 👉 https://www.belowthebelt.org.au/anzup-christmas-appeal

Together we can help more people get back to the moments that make life extraordinary and live without fear of cancer.

From all of us at ANZUP to you – Merry Christmas. 🎄💝

At 20, Jack was studying to become a doctor when he was diagnosed with high-risk bladder cancer.

Thanks to ANZUP-led research, he accessed a safer and more effective treatment that helped him keep studying, keep moving, and keep living.

Today, Jack has finished his final exams and is just weeks away from graduating medical school! 🎓👨‍⚕️

ANZUP is horrified and deeply saddened by the events that occurred in Bondi on Sunday 14 December.

ANZUP has zero tolerance for anti-social and antisemitic behaviour in any form.

We stand together with the Jewish community in disgust and wrap our arms and hearts around all people affected. ❤️

The day before her daughter’s 16th birthday, Juliet was told she had a rare and aggressive kidney cancer and less than a year to live. 💔

Seven years on, she’s celebrating Christmas cancer-free, surrounded by family, music, and her beloved greyhounds. 👏🎉

An ANZUP clinical trial saved her life.

This Christmas, you can help make more stories like hers possible. 🎄

🎤🌟Meet Michael Shafar – a comedian, writer, and all-round good human who’s faced testicular cancer not once, but twice.

Through treatment, recurrence, and the anxiety of constant scans, Michael held onto the things that made him feel like him - writing jokes, staying on stage, laughing loudly, and living fully.

Cancer has changed him, but it hasn’t stopped him from living his best life. Now, he’s planning for the future again, without fear of cancer. And behind his story is cancer research that gave him options, time, and the hope to plan for the future. 💖

This Christmas, you can help more people like Michael keep dreaming, hoping, and living fully.

“At 44, I was fit, healthy, and living a great life… then came my stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis.”

Sydney dad of two, Tim Weale, was living his dream, travelling Australia with his family when subtle symptoms signalled something wasn’t right.

At first, he brushed off changes to his urination and unexpected aches and pains. But soon after, tests revealed an aggressive prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones and lungs.

Since his 2023 diagnosis, Tim has faced hormone therapy, radiation, and chemotherapy with incredible courage - all while continuing to work, make memories with his family, and stay positive. Thanks to treatment, his PSA levels have dropped from 154 to 0.01. 🙌

His journey is a powerful reminder to listen to your body, get checked, and live every moment fully.

Testicular cancer is rare but primarily affects young people aged 15-45. Around 95% of people will survive at least five years after their initial diagnosis.

Treatments for testicular cancer are highly effective for most people affected, but sometimes these treatments can lead to challenges like fatigue, muscle loss, reduced s*x drive, anxiety and effects on body image. That's why ANZUP is committed to advancing research to improve both survival and quality of life for those affected.

🔬 Our current clinical trials include:

CLIMATE: Investigating a new blood test (miR-371a-3p) to detect residual disease after surgery, aiming to better personalise the management of disease.

P3BEP: Comparing accelerated versus standard chemotherapy schedules to enhance outcomes for patients with advanced germ cell tumors.

TIGER: Evaluating high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for relapsed or refractory germ cell tumors.

📢 Just published in The Lancet Oncology!

Predictive and prognostic value of baseline PSMA-PET total tumor volume (TTV) and SUVmean within a randomised phase 2 trial of enzalutamide versus enzalutamide plus [177Lu] Lu-PSMA-617 (ANZUP1901)

Earlier this year, the ENZA-p trial received global recognition for showing that combining LuPSMA with enzalutamide helps people with high-risk metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer live longer, better lives.

In this sub-study, Prof Louise Emmett and team show that PSMA-PET total tumour volume is
✅ Prognostic of overall survival with enzalutamide alone
✅ Predictive of improved overall survival with the addition of LuPSMA to enzalutamide

PSMA SUVmean was not predictive or prognostic for progression free or overall survival when LuPSMA is administered with enzalutamide.

These findings provide valuable insight into how PSMA-PET imaging can be used for predicting response to therapy.

Congratulations to Prof Emmett and the team on another globally recognised contribution to prostate cancer research! 🎉
