Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, adequate organ function, ECOG 0-1, and measurable or evaluable disease who are on castration-level testosterone and eligible for combination therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-measurable disease, prior intolerance to similar therapies, or disease progressing rapidly despite treatment may derive limited or no benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 trial in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer evaluating the safety and potential activity of the combination of AXT-1003 and Enzalutamide. Phase Ia uses a non-randomized, open-label design to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for expansion. Phase Ib will expand at selected dose levels to explore antitumor activity in a larger cohort. Participants must have measurable disease or evaluable bone lesions, ongoing androgen deprivation therapy, and castrate testosterone levels, with key eligibility confirming adequate organ function and performance status.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new treatment option that may slow tumor growth for some patients with advanced disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous early-phase studies in similar combinations have shown preliminary signals of activity but this design focuses on safety and dose-finding with potential signals of efficacy.

History of other prior malignancies, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of skin, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, or other carcinoma in situ with no recurrence for 5 years after treatment. 10. Clinically significant toxicities from any prior therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy or other investigational treatment) unresolved to Grade ≤ 1 at enrollment, unless deemed no safety risk by the investigator. 11.
