New hope for Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer: Drug-Radiation combo trial launches
NCT ID NCT07451795
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining an experimental immunotherapy drug (SHR-1701) with targeted radiation can help men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form that no longer responds to hormone therapy. About 66 participants will receive either the drug plus radiation or radiation alone. The main goal is to see if the combination delays cancer growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR-1701 (an experimental immunotherapy drug) plus stereotactic body radiotherapy (focused radiation)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new way to slow the progression of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is experimental, and side effects from immunotherapy and radiation are possible.
