Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment combining copanlisib and rucaparib. The treatment will be given until it is no longer working or the patient experiences side effects.

Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who've progressed after certain treatments can join. They need a life expectancy of at least 3 months, acceptable organ function, and no recent serious cardiovascular events or other cancers in the last 5 years. Men must use contraception during and post-treatment for 6 months.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of two drugs: Copanlisib and Rucaparib. It's an open-label study where all participants receive the same treatment to assess safety, how the body processes the drugs, and their effectiveness against prostate cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include blood pressure changes, immune system reactions, liver enzyme alterations, fatigue, nausea, risk of infections due to low blood cell counts, heart issues like irregular heartbeat or reduced heart function.
