Promising prostate cancer combo trial pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT06765954
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed for men with high-risk prostate cancer who cannot have surgery. It planned to combine three experimental drugs (N-803, ETBX-071, and M-CENK) with radiation to boost the immune system's attack on cancer. Researchers aimed to see if the treatment could eliminate cancer cells and lower PSA levels. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
The inclusion criteria: * Age: ≥18 years old. * Ability to understand and provide informed consent: Participants must be able to understand the study and provide written informed consent fulfilling all relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) guidelines. * Histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma: A diagnosis confirmed through a pathology report or a clinical course consistent with the disease, as determined by a local pathologist, if a pathology specimen is unavailable. * ECOG performance status: 0 or 1 (fully active or restricted in strenuous activity but ambulatory). * Life expectancy: \>5 years. * Germline testing: Must have germline testing completed at the time of initial diagnosis and, if applicable, at recurrence. * No evidence of distant metastasis: No evidence of soft tissue disease metastasis (visceral or lymph nodes) on CT/MRI scan. * No active or organ-threatening autoimmune disease: Participants must not have an active or organ-threatening autoimmune disease. * High-risk or very high-risk prostate cancer: Based on 2024 NCCN guidelines: PSA \>20 ng/mL or Gleason Grade Group ≥4 or ≥cT3a. * Adequate hematologic and organ function: Defined by specific laboratory values (ANC, lymphocyte count, platelet count, hemoglobin, INR/aPTT, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase) obtained within 14 days prior to baseline, with specific exceptions stated in the protocol for participants with liver or bone metastases or those with known Gilbert disease. * Ability to attend study visits and return for adequate follow-up. * Agreement to practice effective contraception: Non-sterile males must agree to use effective contraception (condom, vasectomy, or other barrier methods) for up to 7 months after treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment for prostate cancer: Participants who have undergone any prior surgical, cryotherapy, or high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment for prostate cancer are excluded. * Prior hormonal therapy: Prior orchiectomy or hormonal therapy (GnRH agonists, NSAA) is an exclusion criterion. * Prior treatment with androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors: Prior treatment with first-generation (bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, cyproterone acetate) or second-generation (enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) AR inhibitors is an exclusion criterion. * Organ transplantation: Receipt of any organ transplantation (excluding those not requiring immunosuppression, such as corneal or hair transplants) excludes participants from the study. * Chronic systemic corticosteroid use: Chronic administration (\>14 days) of systemic corticosteroids within 28 days of study treatment initiation excludes participants. However, minimal systemic absorption (inhaled steroids, nasal sprays, topical agents) is permitted. * Active autoimmune disease: Active autoimmune diseases (Addison's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, Goodpasture syndrome, or active Grave's disease) exclude participants. However, a history of autoimmunity that did not require systemic immunosuppression and did not threaten vital organ function is permitted. * Use of medications affecting PSA: Use of medications known to alter PSA levels (5-alpha reductase inhibitors, phytoestrogens, saw palmetto) within 28 days before study treatment initiation excludes participants. * Major surgery: Major surgery within 28 days of study treatment initiation excludes participants. * Systemic therapy: Systemic therapy (including any investigational therapy) within 28 days of study treatment initiation is an exclusion criterion. * Allergic reactions: A history of allergic reactions to compounds with similar chemical or biologic composition to the study drugs excludes participants. * Clinically significant cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease: This includes cerebral vascular accident/stroke, myocardial infarction, or unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension within specific timeframes before study enrollment. * Serious intercurrent medical illness: Any serious intercurrent medical illness that could interfere with treatment participation. * Active infections: Active HIV, hepatitis B (positive HBsAg), or hepatitis C infections exclude participation. * Live attenuated vaccine administration: Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 3 weeks prior to study entry or anticipated during the study. * Inability or unwillingness to comply: Participants assessed by the investigator as unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements are excluded.
