BAY3546828 for Prostate Cancer
Houston, Texas
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), the cancer of the prostate has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and does not respond to the lowering of testosterone levels in the body (castration resistant). The cancer is 'advanced' and is unlikely to be cured or controlled with currently available treatments. Despite new treatment options for participant(s) with prostate cancer in recent years, the cancer often returns and worsens.
The study treatment actinium-225-macropa-pelgifatamab (also called 225Ac-pelgi or BAY3546828) is a new type of treatment under development for participants with mCRPC who have already received available treatments or have few treatment options available. It works by binding to a protein on the surface of the cancer cells called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). As it gives off a type of radioactivity that travels a very short distance, it kills the nearby (cancer) cells that express PSMA.
The main purpose of this first-in-human study in participants with mCRPC is to learn:
* How safe different doses of 225Ac-pelgi are.
* To what degree medical problems caused by 225Ac-pelgi can be tolerated by the participants?
* Which dose of 225Ac-pelgi is optimal for treatment (safe and working well)?
* How good is 225Ac-pelgi's anticancer activity?
To answer this, the researchers will look at:
* The number and severity of medical problems that the participants have after treatment with 225Ac-pelgi (per dose level).
* The ratio of medical problems and anticancer activity per dose.
* Anticancer activity of the optimal 225Ac-pelgi dose as proportion of participants who have at least halved prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after 12 weeks of treatment or later and/or shrunken or no longer detectable tumors.
* The lowest PSA level reached after treatment start.
Doctors keep track of all medical problems (also called adverse events) that participants have during the study, even if they do not think that they might be related to the study treatment.
Anticancer activity is measured using cancer imaging techniques and change in blood level of a protein called PSA. PSA is made by normal and by cancerous cells in the body. The PSA level is taken as a marker for prostate cancer development and is usually elevated in participants with mCRPC.
In addition, researchers want to find out how 225Ac-pelgi moves into, through and out of the body.
The study will have two parts. The first part, called dose escalation, is done to find the most appropriate dose and schedule that can be given in the second part of the study. For this, each participant will receive one of the predefined increasing doses of 225Ac-pelgi as an infusion into the vein. All participants in part 2, called dose expansion, will receive the most appropriate dose and schedule identified from the first part of the study. More than one dose level or schedule from part 1 may be tested. Both the participants and the study team know what treatment the participants will take.
Participants in this study will take the study treatment 225Ac-pelgi once in a period of 6 weeks called a cycle. Each participant will have 4 of these treatment cycles, if the participant benefits from the treatment.
Each participant will be in the study for up to nearly six years, including a first test (screening) phase of a maximum of 30 days, up to 12 months of treatment depending on the participant's benefit, and a follow-up phase of 60 months after the end of treatment. The following visits to the study site are planned: 2 during the screening phase, 8 in the first treatment cycle, 7 in subsequent cycles, and a visit 6 to 12 weeks after the last dose. In the following 12 months, visits are planned every 6 weeks and during the next 48 months phone calls or clinic visits are planned approximately every 12 weeks.
In addition, a sub study during the dose escalation part will gather information on the distribution of the study treatment in the body, the proportion that binds to the cancer cells, and the resulting radiation at the tumor site.
During the study, the study team will:
* Do physical examinations
* Check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature
* Take blood, and urine samples
* Examine heart health using echocardiogram and electrocardiogram (ECG)
* Take tumor samples
* Track 225Ac-pelgi in the body using gamma imaging (generally available at all study sites)
* Check the tumor status using PET (positron emission tomography), CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and bone scan
* Ask questions about the impact of the disease on the participants' wellbeing and activities of daily life (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance status (ECOG PS)).

mpMRI with Flexible AIR Coil for Prostate Cancer
Houston, Texas
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate is an important tool for diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in men with an elevated serum prostate specific antigen, which can decrease the rate of unnecessary biopsies and reduce the incidence of over-diagnosis of non-csPCa. Furthermore, there is evidence that MRI is more accurate in detecting high-grade (Gleason grade group ≥3) versus low grade cancers (Gleason grade group \<2) and therefore may serve as a useful adjunct to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, digital rectal examination, and prostatic biopsy to detect cancers that require definitive treatment as opposed to active surveillance. Many investigators, including our group, have shown the utility of preoperative mpMRI to assess the local extent of prostate cancer and for surgical planning.

Hormone + Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Houston, Texas
This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.

Why Other Patients Applied
"I've tried chemotherapy and radiation but the cancer recurred. My oncologist suggested that I might want to try a clinical trial given my situation. Just starting to research, hoping to learn more."
FR
Lung Cancer PatientAge: 71
"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."
ID
Pancreatic Cancer PatientAge: 40
"My mom has cholangiocarcinoma with bone mts (FGFR2 mutation). She really needs this trial to survive. She’s active and her analysis is ok, but we have very limited other options. Hope to work with a high-quality clinic to prolong her quality and duration of life."
OF
Cholangiocarcinoma PatientAge: 54
"I had two chemotherapy regímens without success, three surgeries during which the tumor could not be resected. These clinical trials are a light of hope for me and my family (I have a five year old child) and I have read about cases of success in other types of cancer with this treatment. I think that I am a perfect candidate for this tríal. Thank you."
UM
Pancreatic Cancer PatientAge: 48
"I've had radiation and as far as I know I’m in remission, but my brother passed away with the same condition. I don’t mind helping research for a cure... my husband passed away with pancreatic cancer. I've had a stepdaughter that passed away with ovarian cancer at 20. I just think it’s time to knock cancer out! I'd really like to help find better treatments by participating in a trial."

This randomized phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy, with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel that has spread to other parts of the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering and/or blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone may help kill more tumor cells.

This phase II trial studies how well finite androgen ablation with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisone work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has come back. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy, such as finite androgen ablation, using leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, degarelix, bicalutamide, flutamide, and nilutamide may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgen the body makes. Abiraterone acetate may help to decrease the production of testosterone, and prednisone may help lower or prevent some side effects. It is not yet known whether giving acetate, goserelin acetate, degarelix, bicalutamide, flutamide, and nilutamide with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisone may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Cryoablation + SBRT for Bone Metastasis Pain
Houston, Texas
This trial compares cryoablation combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy to stereotactic body radiation therapy alone to see how well they work in treating patients with pain from cancer that has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Bone is a common site of metastasis in advanced cancer, and bone metastases often result in debilitating cancer-related pain. The current standard of care to treat painful bone metastases is radiation therapy alone. However, many patients do not get adequate pain relief from radiation therapy alone. Another type of therapy that may be used to provide pain relief from bone metastases is cryoablation. Cryoablation is a procedure in which special needles are inserted into the tumor site. These needles grow ice balls at their tips to freeze and kill cancer cells. The goal of this trial is to compare how well cryoablation in combination with radiation therapy works to radiation therapy alone when given to cancer patients to provide pain relief from bone metastases.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Prostate Cancer clinical trials in Houston, TX pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Prostate Cancer clinical trials in Houston, TX work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Prostate Cancer trials in Houston, TX 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Houston, TX for Prostate Cancer is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Houston, TX several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Prostate Cancer medical study in Houston, TX?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Prostate Cancer clinical trials in Houston, TX?
Most recently, we added Talazoparib + Enzalutamide for Prostate Cancer, Tirzepatide for Prostate Cancer and IDOV-Immune for Cancer to the Power online platform.
