What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called JNJ-75229414 for prostate cancer that has spread and resists standard hormone therapies. The study aims to determine the best dose of the treatment in the first part and to assess its safety at that dose in the second part. Participants may also receive other therapies to help stabilize the cancer. The trial seeks individuals with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously tried at least one hormone or chemotherapy treatment. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new therapy.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires a break from certain medications before starting. You need to stop anti-androgen agents and PARP inhibitors at least 2 weeks before, and cytotoxic chemotherapy or investigational agents at least 3 weeks before joining the study.

Is there any evidence suggesting that JNJ-75229414 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that JNJ-75229414 is still under study to determine the appropriate dose for future research. This treatment is a type of CAR-T therapy, which involves modifying a patient's immune cells to enhance their ability to fight cancer. As this treatment is in the early testing stages, limited safety data is available.

The trial's main goal is to establish a safe dose and identify any side effects. Researchers will closely monitor participants to assess their response to the treatment and detect any side effects.

Currently, safety information is still being gathered, and joining this trial contributes to understanding the safety of this new treatment.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Unlike the standard treatments for prostate cancer, which typically involve hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery, JNJ-75229414 offers a novel approach by using a targeted infusion therapy. This experimental treatment is designed to work alongside a conditioning regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine to optimize its effectiveness. Researchers are particularly excited about JNJ-75229414 because it aims to determine the optimal dose that maximizes efficacy while minimizing side effects, potentially offering a more personalized treatment option for patients with prostate cancer.

What evidence suggests that JNJ-75229414 might be an effective treatment for prostate cancer?

Research has shown that JNJ-75229414 is under investigation as a potential treatment for advanced prostate cancer. The trial consists of two parts: Part 1 focuses on dose escalation to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), while Part 2 involves dose expansion for each RP2D regimen identified in Part 1. This treatment targets patients whose cancer has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. Early studies have concentrated on identifying the correct dose and ensuring the treatment's safety. In these studies, about 8% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage, which is promising for those with advanced, hard-to-treat cancer. The drug targets specific proteins that aid cancer growth, offering a novel approach to treatment.13456

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and doesn't respond to hormone therapy. They should have tried at least one other treatment like abiraterone or chemotherapy, be relatively healthy (ECOG grade 0 or 1), and either have measurable disease or detectable PSA levels. Men must use contraception during the study.

Inclusion Criteria

My cancer can be measured by scans or has detectable PSA levels.
I have previously been treated with specific prostate cancer medications or chemotherapy.
I agree to use a condom and spermicide during sex for 1 year after my last treatment dose.
