STM-416p for Prostate Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called STM-416p for prostate cancer. The main goal is to determine if this treatment is safe when administered during prostate removal surgery. Men diagnosed with prostate cancer and scheduled for this surgery might be suitable candidates for the trial. The trial seeks to understand how the treatment affects cancer and the body's recovery. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding the treatment's effects in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have received any anticancer therapy in the last 28 days, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this treatment is likely to be safe for humans?
Research is examining the safety of STM-416p during prostate surgery. The current focus is on its safety and tolerability. So far, studies with STM-416p have reported no serious side effects. However, as the research is still in its early stages, extensive safety data from large groups is lacking. While early results appear promising, further research is necessary to fully understand the treatment's safety.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for prostate cancer, such as hormone therapy and chemotherapy, STM-416p offers a unique approach. Researchers are excited about STM-416p because it introduces a novel mechanism of action that specifically targets cancer cells, potentially reducing damage to healthy cells. This targeted approach could lead to fewer side effects and improved quality of life for patients. Additionally, initial studies suggest STM-416p might work faster than current options, showing promising results in a shorter time frame.
What evidence suggests that STM-416p might be an effective treatment for prostate cancer?
Research shows that STM-416p is under investigation as a potential treatment for prostate cancer in this trial. Although limited information exists from human trials, early research examines how this treatment functions during prostate surgery. In this trial, the treatment targets cancer cells more precisely by applying it directly to the prostate area during surgery. This method aims to improve outcomes by concentrating on the cancerous area. Initial findings suggest that this approach could enhance the accuracy of cancer treatment. However, further research is necessary to confirm its effectiveness.13567
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals with confirmed prostate cancer, scheduled for radical prostatectomy within 28 days of screening. Participants must have adequate organ and bone marrow function, understand the consent form, and have a performance status indicating they are still up and about more than half of the day.Inclusion Criteria
