Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, REGN5678, to see if it is safe and effective in treating prostate cancer. The study will also look at how well the drug is tolerated and how it works in the body.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced prostate cancer or renal cell carcinoma that has spread and resisted castration treatment. Participants must have a specific protein on their tumors, have tried certain therapies without success, and cannot have had prior PSMA-targeting therapy or recent biologic treatments. They should not be battling uncontrolled infections like HIV or hepatitis, nor have serious neurological conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests REGN5678 alone and combined with Cemiplimab to see how they affect tumor size in patients with metastatic cancers. Part 1 finds safe doses of REGN5678; Part 2 checks the effectiveness at those doses. Sarilumab may also be given to some participants as part of the study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions where the drug enters the body, flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, fatigue, skin reactions, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, liver inflammation which might cause yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice), immune system overactivity potentially affecting various organs.
