JANX007 for Prostate Cancer
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and the preliminary efficacy of JANX007 administered as a single agent in adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug JANX007 for prostate cancer?
Research on similar treatments like 177Lu-PSMA-617 shows that it can reduce tumor volume and improve survival in prostate cancer patients, especially when the cancer cells have high PSMA levels. This suggests that JANX007, which targets PSMA, might also be effective in treating prostate cancer.12345
What safety data exists for PSMA-targeted therapies like JANX007 in humans?
PSMA-targeted therapies, such as 177Lu-PSMA-617, have been shown to be generally safe and well-tolerated in humans, with common side effects including dry mouth, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea, which are manageable with standard medical care. Serious side effects were rare and included conditions like anemia and kidney injury, but these were not definitively linked to the treatment.678910
What makes the drug JANX007 unique for treating prostate cancer?
JANX007, also known as PSMA-TRACTr, is unique because it targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on cancer cells, potentially offering a more precise treatment for prostate cancer compared to traditional therapies. This targeted approach may help reduce damage to healthy cells and improve treatment outcomes.611121314
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have already tried at least one novel anti-androgen therapy and a taxane regimen, or cannot take taxane due to medical reasons. They must have a PSMA expressing tumor, no significant heart disease, no organ transplants, and no active serious infections.Inclusion Criteria
