ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06085664
What this study is testing
What is REGN5678?
REGN5678 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for prostate cancer.
Also referred to as PYLARIFY.
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
- To learn about the safety and effects of a drug called REGN5678 when it is given to patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
