NCT ID NCT07250542
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a combination of fasudil hydrochloride and an immunotherapy drug (tirapibep) in 30 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after standard treatments. Participants receive the drugs alongside standard hormone therapy over four 21-day cycles. The study aims to see if the combination is safe and can lower PSA levels, a marker of cancer activity.

- fasudil hydrochloride combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody (tirapibep)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
