Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after multiple lines of therapy and who have low testosterone levels while remaining eligible for LHRH suppression.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without the target cancer biology or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from this therapy.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional trial evaluating BPX-601, a CAR T-cell product made from the patient’s own T cells, in adults with advanced prostate cancer that has progressed after prior treatments. The study aims to identify a safe dose, characterize side effects, and get an early sense of how well the therapy can reduce cancer activity. Participants receive BPX-601 under close medical supervision with ongoing assessments. The trial may help determine whether this personalized cellular therapy is a viable option for this hard-to-treat population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, BPX-601 could offer a new treatment option that might shrink tumors or slow disease progression in men with relapsed, metastatic prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: CAR T-cell approaches in solid tumors have shown mixed results so far, with ongoing early-phase studies exploring safety and dosing in prostate cancer.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of hormone-refractory adenocarcinoma of the prostate without pure small cell carcinoma 2. Metastatic, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) with PSA value at screening ≥4 ng/mL that has progressed within 6 months prior to screening, as defined in the protocol 3. Has received ≥2 lines prior systemic therapy approved in the metastatic and/or castration-resistant setting \[in addition to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)\] including at least 1 second-generation anti-androgen therapy (eg, abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) 4. Has had either orchiectomy OR is on Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonist or antagonist therapy with serum testosterone \<50 ng/dL AND agrees to stay on LHRH agonist or antagonist therapy during the study Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Structurally unstable bone lesions suggesting impending fracture 2. Clinical or radiographic evidence of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other known thromboembolic event that has not been definitively treated. Participants with prior history of coagulopathy must be on low-molecular weight heparin prophylaxis or prophylactic dose of oral anticoagulant and asymptomatic within 4 weeks of the planned BPX-601 infusion 3. Inadequate renal function defined by creatinine clearance \<60 mL/min calculated by 24-hour urine collection or using the Cockcroft-Gault formula 4. Inadequate hepatic function defined by Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>2.5 × ULN or \>5 × ULN, if liver metastases, and/or total bilirubin \>1.5 × ULN, as described in the protocol 5. Inadequate bone marrow function defined by Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) \<1.5 × 10\^9/L or platelet count \<150 × 10\^9/L. At least 7 days must have passed since the last dose of filgrastim (or 14 days since the last dose of pegfilgrastim) and at least 7 days must have passed since the last platelet transfusion at the time of ANC or platelet count.
