Comparing BMS-986365 with standard therapies for advanced prostate cancer

A Phase 3, Two-part, Randomized, Open-label, Adaptive Study Comparing BMS-986365 Versus Investigator's Choice of Therapy Comprising Either Docetaxel or Second Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitor (ARPI), in Participants With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) - rechARge

Phase 3 Interventional Celgene · NCT06764485

This study is testing a new drug called BMS-986365 to see if it works better than standard treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is resistant to hormone therapy.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BMS-986365 compared to the investigator's choice of therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either BMS-986365 at one of two dose levels or standard treatments such as Docetaxel with Prednisone, Abiraterone with Prednisone, or Enzalutamide. The primary endpoint is to assess radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) between the treatment groups. The study is divided into two parts, with randomization occurring at different stages to ensure robust data collection.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include men with confirmed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have previously received androgen receptor pathway inhibitors.

Not a fit: Patients with significant cardiac disease, brain or liver metastases, or those with severe symptoms from prostate cancer may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in targeting advanced prostate cancer, indicating potential for success.
