Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Adequate organ function within 4 weeks of eligibility confirmation by a physician-investigator defined as: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 cc/min per the Cockcroft-Gault Equation; Patient must not be on dialysis, ALT/AST ≤ 3 x ULN, Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, unless the subject has Gilbert's syndrome (if so, serum total bilirubin must be ≤3.0 mg/dL), Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% confirmed by ECHO, Must have a minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as ≤ Grade 1 dyspnea and pulse oxygen > 92% on room air, Patients must have adequate hematologic reserve within 4 weeks of eligibility confirmation by a physician-investigator and must not be dependent on transfusions to maintain these hematologic parameters. Adequate hematologic reserve is defined as: Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL, Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/μL, Platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL, ECOG Performance Status that is either 0 or 1, Patients who have not undergone bilateral orchiectomy must be able to continue GnRH therapy during the study, Participants of reproductive potential must agree to use acceptable birth control methods, as described in the protocol
Received at least one prior standard therapy for systemic treatment in the mCRPC setting, including at least one second generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (e.g., enzalutamine, apalutamide, darolutamide, or abiraterone) or a taxane-based regimen (e.g., docetaxel, cabazitaxel, etc).

Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment called TmPSMA-02 CAR T cells in patients with advanced prostate cancer. The study will look at how safe and effective the treatment is at different doses.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to hormone therapy. They must have tried at least one standard treatment, including androgen receptor inhibitors or taxane-based chemo. Participants need normal liver function, kidney function (not on dialysis), and a healthy heart with an ejection fraction of at least 45%.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests different doses of TmPSMA-02 CAR T cells in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. It's an early-phase trial to see if the treatment is safe, tolerable, can be made reliably, and works against this type of cancer using a step-by-step dose increase method.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include typical reactions related to CAR T cell therapies such as fever, fatigue, immune system reactions, and issues affecting blood pressure or breathing.
