Double-Drug attack on Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer begins human testing
NCT ID NCT07082920
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a combination of two experimental drugs—Pasritamig and ARX517—in 140 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. The study is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pasritamig (JNJ-78278343) and ARX517 (JNJ-95298177)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new combination treatment option for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial, so safety and dosing are still being figured out. The drugs may cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome, and there is no guarantee they will shrink tumors or extend life.
