Clinical Trials for Prostate Cancer

A Phase 1/2 Immunotherapy Study of Evofosfamide in Combination with Zalifrelimab and Balstilimab in Patients with Advanced Solid Malignancies

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with metastatic CRPC, pancreatic cancer, or HPV-negative SCCHN lacking effective options receive triplet therapy with evofosfamide (hypoxia-activated DNA crosslinking prodrug) plus zalifrelimab (anti–CTLA-4) and balstilimab (anti–PD-1). Open-label dose-escalation followed by disease-specific expansions; key exclusions include significant prior immune toxicity, active autoimmune disease, QTc ≥470 msec/TdP risk, uncontrolled CNS disease/infections, and use of strong/moderate CYP3A4 modulators or QT-prolonging drugs.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06782555

Phase II Study of Apalutamide With Carotuximab in Metastatic, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer who have PSA progression on a prior AR signaling inhibitor (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or darolutamide) and are ineligible for or decline taxanes are randomized to apalutamide alone or apalutamide plus carotuximab. Carotuximab is an anti‑angiogenic monoclonal antibody against endoglin (CD105) on proliferating endothelium, added to test whether it improves radiographic PFS; crossover to the combination is allowed at progression.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05534646

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.
