Neo-Red-P Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether adding immunotherapy to degarelix, which suppresses testosterone, can decrease the chance cancer will come back after surgery, compared to degarelix alone.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with high-risk localized prostate cancer (clinical stage T1c-T3b, N0, M0) who have not had prior treatments for their cancer and are scheduled for radical prostatectomy at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. They must have adequate organ function and agree to use barrier contraception post-treatment. Exclusions include significant heart disease, other cancers within the last 2 years, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled infections or cardiovascular issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding BMS-986218 (an immunotherapy drug) to degarelix (a testosterone-suppressing medication) before surgery can lower the risk of cancer returning compared to using degarelix alone in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions due to BMS-986218 such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses during treatment administration, fatigue, hormonal changes from degarelix leading to hot flashes or decreased libido.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The proportion of patients with an adverse event will be reported with an exact binomial 95% confidence interval
Secondary outcome measures
Mean Treg cell staining percentage in harvested prostate tissues will be reported and compared post-treatment between the treatment groups using paired sample test.
PSA response rates- a 50% change in pre-treatment and post-treatment PSA.
Pathological complete responses (pCR)- an absence of tumor identification on standard histological analysis of the resected prostate specimens.
