ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07002320

What this study is testing

What is SX-682?

SX-682 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mcrpc).

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
ASpiRE will investigate the effect of the drug SX-682 in combination with Apalutamide in men suffering from metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
