New hope for tough prostate cancer: first human trial of VIR-5500 begins
NCT ID NCT05997615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called VIR-5500 in people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatment. The main goals are to check the drug's safety and find the right dose, while also seeing if it can shrink tumors or lower PSA levels. About 437 participants will receive VIR-5500 alone or with another therapy.

Inclusion Criteria: Applicable to Parts 1 and 2 1. Have metastatic disease, defined by ≥ 1 metastatic lesion that is present on baseline computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scan imaging 2. Have documented progressive mCRPC based on ≥ 1 of the criteria (per PCWG3) * PSA level ≥ 1 ng/mL that has increased on ≥ 2 successive occasions ≥ 1 week apart * Nodal or visceral progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 with PCWG3 modifications * Appearance of ≥ 2 new lesions in bone scan 3. Have been treated with ≥ 1 second-generation androgen-signaling inhibitor, including abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, and/or enzalutamide 4. Have been treated with ≥ 1 prior taxane regimens (e.g., docetaxel, cabazitaxel) 5. Are deemed unsuitable for standard of care Applicable to Part 2, 3a and Part 4a, 1. Have metastatic CRPC, defined by ≥ 1 metastatic lesion that is present on baseline CT, MRI, or bone scan imaging that has documented progressive disease (PD) based on ≥ 1 of the following criteria (per PCWG3): * PSA level ≥ 1 ng/mL that has increased on ≥ 2 successive occasions ≥ 1 week apart * Nodal or visceral progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 with PCWG3 modifications * Appearance of ≥2 new lesions in bone scan 2. Participants with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) or with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer (BRPC) may also participate in select cohorts of this clinical trial. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of dominant histopathological features representative of sarcomatoid, spindle cell, or neuroendocrine small cell components 2. Has acute or chronic infections 3. Has a concomitant medical or inflammatory condition that may increase the risk of toxicity to VIR-5500 (AMX-500), per the Investigator 4. Has lesions in proximity of vital organs 5. Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
