New hope for Tough-to-Treat prostate cancer: experimental drug AAA817 faces off against standard care
NCT ID NCT06780670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called AAA817 in adults with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer (PSMA-positive) that has worsened after prior treatments, including a targeted therapy. About 443 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either AAA817 or the doctor's choice of standard care. The goal is to see if AAA817 can slow cancer growth, improve survival, and have manageable side effects.
