Scientists hunt for early clues to prostate cancer drug resistance

NCT ID NCT07352748

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This observational study looks at why hormone therapy eventually stops working in advanced prostate cancer. Researchers will take tumor samples from 30 patients before and during treatment to study changes in immune cells and cancer markers. The goal is to find early signs of resistance and identify new targets for future therapies.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal early signs of drug resistance and point toward new treatment targets for advanced prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (30 participants) that does not test a new treatment. It may not lead to direct patient benefits.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria Group A: * Patients with histological diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer (defined as the presence of metastatic disease, including both metastatic hormone naïve prostate cancer patients and metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer patients); * Patients who started ADT or ADT plus AR inhibitor therapy (Enzalutamide, Darolutamide or Apalutamide or Abiraterone) in a standard therapy. * Have accessible metastatic and/or primitive disease to perform a biopsy safely during hormonal therapy (ADT or ADT plus AR inhibitor therapy) and before hormonal therapy (alternatively, as a basal biopsy could be used archival FFPE or frozen tumor material left over from surgical procedures or previous biopsies, if available) * Written acceptance of informed consent to be included in the present study. * Aged 18 or over. Inclusion Criteria Group B: * Patients due for prostate biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of a prostate adenocarcinoma at high risk of metastatic disease. High risk is defined as follows: * PSA \>=20ng/dL with or without imaging suggestive of metastatic prostate cancer OR * PSA \>=10 ng/mL and \<= 20 ng/mL AND \>=33% risk to have a high grade disease on prostate biopsy according to the MSKCC nomogram "Risk of high grade cancer of prostate biopsy" (https://www.mskcc.org/nomograms/prostate/biopsy\_risk\_dynamic). * Written acceptance of informed consent to be included in the present study. * Aged 18 or over
