Summary

This trial tests how well two medications can treat prostate cancer that doesn't respond to hormone therapy. Golimumab and apalutamide block substances that cause inflammation and hormones that help cancer cells grow.

Who is the study for?
Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have tried hormone therapy for at least 6 months and show signs of disease progression. They must be over 18, understand the study, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer, recent chemotherapy in the CRPC setting, certain infections like hepatitis B/C, major surgery within two weeks before the trial or planned during it.
What is being tested?
The TRAMP study is testing golimumab (a TNF inhibitor that reduces inflammation) combined with apalutamide (an androgen receptor inhibitor that blocks male hormones) to see if they're effective against advanced prostate cancer resistant to standard hormonal treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions due to TNF inhibition which can cause organ inflammation, increased risk of infection; and from blocking androgens: fatigue, hot flashes, bone pain, cognitive changes, gastrointestinal issues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (golimumab, apalutamide)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive golimumab SC every 4 weeks for 6 doses and apalutamide PO daily. Treatment with apalutaminde continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo tumor biopsy at baseline and during cycle 4. Patients also undergo CT scans or MRI, PSMA PET, and collection of blood samples at baseline, during cycle 4, and at end of treatment.
