Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, afuresertib and LAE001, to see if they are effective in treating patients with m-CRPC who have progressed/ become drug resistant following prior standard care treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to castration and has spread, despite previous anti-androgen treatments. They must have a certain level of health, including stable blood sugar and kidney function, no major surgeries or infections recently, and not be on conflicting medications. Men must agree to use contraception if their partner can bear children.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests combining LAE001/prednisone with afuresertib in men whose prostate cancer has worsened after standard care. It aims to find the best dose mix for those intolerant or unresponsive to two prior anti-androgen therapies or chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include issues related to hormone therapy like fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings; prednisone might cause weight gain or sleep problems; afuresertib could lead to digestive upset or rash. Specific side effects will depend on how patients react to the drug combination.

Has there been any previous research done utilizing the combination of LAE001/prednisone and afuresertib in Phases I and II?

"LAE001/prednisone + afuresertib was first investigated in 2001 at Providence Cancer Center and subsequently reviewed in 606 clinical trials since. Presently, 336 active studies are enrolling patients with a significant portion taking place near Tacoma, Washington."

Answered by AI

Are there multiple facilities administering this clinical experiment across the state?

"Currently, 14 different sites are hosting this medical trial. These locations include Tacoma, Topeka and Temple among many others. It is highly recommended that potential participants select the closest clinic to reduce travel burden associated with participation in this study."

Answered by AI

Does this trial have room to enrol more participants?

"Affirmative, according to clinicaltrials.gov this trial is still open for enrollment and began doing so on September 13th 2019. Its most recent update was November 30th 2022 and it requires 74 participants from 14 different research centres."

Answered by AI
