A Phase 2 Randomized Trial of Neoadjuvant Enoblituzumab versus Standard of Care in Men with High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer: The Help Elucidate & Attack Longitudinally (HEAT) Prostate Cancer Randomized Study (HEAT)
This study aims to improve prostate cancer treatment by testing a drug, enoblituzumab, which targets a protein called B7-H3. Previous research suggests it might boost the immune system to fight cancer. The objective is to see if it delays cancer return compared to standard treatment and identify who responds best.

• an initial prostate biopsy within 3 months of enrollment is available for review, showing at least 3 positive cores, including one with ≥50% involvement and Gleason ≥8
• radical prostatectomy has been scheduled
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion & exclusion criteria
• known lymph node involvement on CT or distant metastases on CT or bone scan; non-adenocarcinoma prostate cancers

A Phase 1b, Open-label, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Xaluritamig in Subjects With High-risk Biochemical Recurrence of Nonmetastatic Castration-sensitive Prostate Cancer After Definitive Therapy
This study is trying a new treatment (Xaluritamig) for men whose prostate cancer returned after the first treatment, but has not spread. The objective is to determine if Xaluritamig is safe and works well without causing negative side effects seen in other treatments. Participants will get Xaluritamig through a vein in their arm over six times with doctors observing for side effects and to see how the cancer reacts.
• confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
• treated by radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (XRT) (including brachytherapy) or both with intention of cure
• PSA has doubled in 12 months or less
• normal testosterone level (greater than 150ng/dL)
• must be able to walk, carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion & exclusion criteria
• prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, aminoglutethimide, ketoconazole, abiraterone acetate, or enzalutamide for prostate cancer
• prior systemic biologic therapy, including immunotherapy, for prostate cancer
• men with a female partner of childbearing potential or who are pregnant, who are unwilling to practice sexual abstinence (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception during treatment and for an additional 6 months after the last dose of xaluritamig
A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label Study of MK-5684 Versus Alternative Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide in Participants With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Previously Treated With Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based Chemotherapy
This trial is testing MK-5684 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based chemotherapy. This trial will compare MK-5684 to abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide. Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide are standard treatments for mCRPC. The purpose of this trial is to test the safety of the trial drug, MK-5684, see how well the drug works, and see how the body handles the drug. We also want to see if participants who get MK-5684 live longer compared to those who get abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.
• diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate
• cancer progression while on androgen deprivation therapy with metastasis to bone or other areas of the body
• received 1 but no more than 2 taxane-based chemotherapy regimens
• unable to do strenuous activity but walking and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion and exclusion criteria
• unable to swallow capsules/tablets
• gastrointestinal disorder that might affect absorption
• poorly controlled diabetes mellitus
• history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias
• known additional cancer that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years
A Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Sequential High dose Testosterone and Enzalutamide to Enzalutamide alone in Asymptomatic Men with Castration Resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer
The goal of this current study is to test whether men with prostate cancer that is getting worse after treatment with hormone therapy and abiraterone respond better to alternating treatment with testosterone and enzalutamide vs. enzalutamide alone. We are testing to see which is better at stopping tumor growth that can be seen on a bone scan or CT scan and the effect of each regimen on lowering Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA values). Participants will be in the study for 6 to 24 months.
• diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate
• spread (metastatic) to other organs or bone
• one chemotherapy treatment for hormone sensitive prostate cancer is allowed
• previous treatment required, study staff will review
• able to care for self with little help
• prior chemotherapy with docetaxel or cabazitaxel for CRPC
• other severe medical conditions, study staff will review
A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-label Study to Test the Diagnostic Performance of Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T PET/CT in Staging of Men with Newly Diagnosed Unfavorable Intermediate-risk, High-risk or Very High-risk Prostate Cancer Electing to Undergo Radical Prostatectomy with Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (Solar-Stage)
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T in detecting lesions during a PET scan. This study is open to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who plan to have a prostatectomy and lymph node removal. Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T is an investigational PET imaging agent, given to you via IV injection, similar to the way other imaging agents are used in many other types of scans. Cu 64 specifically targets the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) that is found on the surface of metastatic prostate cancer cells. Increased image contrast may make it easier for the doctor to see smaller lesions compared to other imaging agents.
• newly diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma with intermediate / high risk features
• planned prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection
• see link to clinicaltrials.gov for complete inclusion and exclusion criteria
• received any therapy for prostate cancer before surgery
• not able to have a PET scan
• had a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan in the past 90 days
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared with placebo plus ADT in patients with high-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (ARASTEP)
ADT is a systemic therapy called hormone therapy which reduces the androgen hormone (testosterone) levels to prevent prostate cancer cells from growing. This study is being done to learn more about a new drug called darolutamide given in combination with ADT for prostate cancer.
• diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of prostate
• treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy
• Serum testosterone 150 ng/dL or more
