New cocktail of drugs aimed at halting bone metastases in prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT04071236

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a combination of three drugs—radium-223, M3814, and avelumab—in men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy and has spread to the bone. The goal is to see if the combination can slow cancer growth better than radium-223 alone. The trial is currently suspended, and about 90 participants were planned.
