Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Male adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer expressing PSMA and/or PSCA and who have progressed on prior therapies, with measurable disease and adequate organ function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without PSMA/PSCA expression or who do not meet safety or other protocol criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 study evaluates the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ETB-DualNK-01 in adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Part A uses dose escalation to identify the maximum tolerated dose or recommended Phase 2 dose, while Part B expands at the selected dose in patients with biomarker-confirmed disease. The therapy targets both PSMA and PSCA to improve tumor coverage and mitigate antigen escape, with lymphodepletion followed by infusion of allogeneic CAR-NK cells. Participants require PSMA and/or PSCA expression, ongoing androgen deprivation, and measurable disease, with regular imaging and PSA monitoring.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience disease stabilization or tumor reduction and a potential advance in treatment options for advanced prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: CAR-NK therapies with dual targeting are under exploration, with limited prior phase 1 data in solid tumors but some encouraging signals for safety and activity.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Male participant age 18 years or older. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma with metastatic castration-resistant disease. * Disease progression by PCWG3 while maintaining castrate testosterone (\<50 ng/dL) with ongoing androgen deprivation therapy or prior orchiectomy. * Documented PSMA and/or PSCA expression by a validated tumor assay; PSMA PET may support target confirmation when applicable. * Prior progression on at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide; prior taxane, PARP inhibitor, radioligand therapy, or checkpoint inhibitor is allowed. * ECOG performance status 0 or 1. * Adequate hematologic, renal, hepatic, cardiac, and pulmonary function per protocol laboratory thresholds. * At least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1 or evaluable bone-predominant disease by PCWG3. * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. * Ability to understand and sign informed consent and willingness to provide required blood and tissue samples. Exclusion Criteria: * Active central nervous system metastases or leptomeningeal disease. * Dominant small-cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer histology. * Prior gene-modified cellular therapy within 6 months before lymphodepletion, or prior allogeneic transplant requiring ongoing systemic immunosuppression. * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment or chronic immunosuppression; systemic corticosteroid use greater than 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily within 7 days of lymphodepletion. * Uncontrolled infection, including uncontrolled hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV infection. * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, symptomatic arrhythmia, recent myocardial infarction, or uncontrolled heart failure. * Unresolved grade 2 or higher toxicity from prior anticancer therapy, except alopecia, stable endocrinopathy, or other protocol-approved exceptions. * Another active malignancy requiring systemic treatment. * Any medical, psychiatric, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's judgment, would increase risk or interfere with study interpretation.
