The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a novel capillary nano-immunoassay in assessing AR-V7 in plasma from PC patients. Patients with either localized or advanced PC were included in the study. Assessment of AR-V7 in plasma was performed through a capillary nano-immunoassay platform. Correlation with clinical data, stem cell biomarkers (such as CD133+), AR amplification and PTEN status was identified. The study included 72 PC patients. AR-V7 signal was detected in 21 (29%) patients: 17 (81%) had a Gleason score ≥7, 15 (71%) castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), 18 (86%) metastatic disease and PSA (median) high than AR-V7 negative (p  Assessing the presence of AR-V7 in plasma from PC patients is feasible by a novel capillary nano-immunoassay. AR-V7 was observed in 29% of the tumors and is more frequent in aggressive tumors.
