Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding carotuximab to the standard drug apalutamide can help men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. About 100 participants will receive either apalutamide alone or the combination. The study first checks safety in 10 people, then measures how long the cancer stays under control.
