Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of two drugs—cabozantinib (a pill) and nivolumab (an infusion)—in 47 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a type that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The main goal is to see if the treatment can delay cancer growth or spread. Researchers will also measure PSA levels and tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cabozantinib (Cabometyx) and nivolumab (Opdivo)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option to slow cancer progression in men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 47 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from the drug combination could be significant.
