New treatment option for Prostate Cancer
Official title Phase I/II Trial of Pembrolizumab and Androgen-receptor Inhibitor With or Without 225Ac-J591 for Progressive Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04946370
What this study is testing
What is 225Ac-J591?
225Ac-J591 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for prostate cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a phase I/II study investigating the combination of 225Ac-J591 (a drug that can deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells) with pembrolizumab (immunotherapy, a drug that increases the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells). This study will assess whether 225Ac-J591 + pembrolizumab + androgen receptor inhibitor (ARI) is more effective against prostate cancer than pembrolizumab + ARI alone.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
