New hope for Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer: first human trial launches
NCT ID NCT06318273
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called ABBV-969 in men with a type of advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy. The main goals are to check the drug's safety and find the best dose. About 230 participants worldwide will receive the drug through an IV, and the study will last up to 3 years.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histological, pathological, and/or cytological confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. * Estimated life expectancy \> 6 months. * An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Must have progressed on prior novel hormonal agents (NHAs) (e.g., abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide) for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer and/or castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Determination of progression is done per local investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1 and/or Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3). * Serum testosterone levels \<= 50 ng/dL (\<= 1.73 nmol/L) within the screening period and prior to the first dose of the study drug. * Must have received at least one NHA (e.g., enzalutamide and/or abiraterone). Additionally, participants must have received at least one taxane for prostate cancer (or are intolerant to, or unable to get access to taxanes). * Must have \>= 1 metastatic lesion that is present on baseline computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scan imaging obtained \<= 28 days prior to beginning study therapy. * Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level \>= 1.0 ng/mL. * Availability of representative baseline tumor tissue (most recent archived tumor tissue after any novel hormonal agent (NHA) and/or any Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) targeted therapy or fresh biopsy collected during screening if collecting a fresh biopsy at screening is deemed safe in the judgment of the investigator) suitable for immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing. * Laboratory values meeting the criteria laid out in the protocol. * QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) \<= 470 msec (using Fridericia's correction), no \>= Grade 3 arrythmia, and no other clinically significant cardiac abnormalities. Exclusion Criteria: * Unresolved Grade 2 or higher toxicities related to previous anticancer therapy except alopecia. * History of other active malignancy, as laid out in the protocol. * History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, nor any evidence of active ILD or pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan. * History of or active idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis. * History of or active clinically significant, intercurrent lung-specific illnesses including, but not limited to those listed in the protocol.
