Summary

This trial is testing an experimental drug (MGC018) for mCRPC patients who have had prior ARAT and taxane-containing treatment. 150 participants will be randomized 1:1:1 in Phase 2, and 270 will be randomized 1:1 in Phase 3.

Who is the study for?
Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who've had one prior androgen receptor-targeted therapy and possibly one taxane regimen. They must have at least one detectable metastatic lesion, no neuroendocrine or small cell prostate cancer features, acceptable health status, and a tumor tissue sample if they have internal organ metastasis.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two doses of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine (2.0 mg/kg and 2.7 mg/kg) given every four weeks to see which works better for prostate cancer that has spread despite hormone therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either dose group in equal numbers.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include reactions related to intravenous administration, changes in blood tests results indicating organ function issues, or other symptoms that require discontinuation as determined by the study doctor.
