Fasudil plus PD-1 antibody with androgen-deprivation therapy before prostatectomy.

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study of Fasudil Hydrochloride and PD1 Inhibitor Combined With Androgen Deprivation in Neoadjuvant Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Run by Zhongda Hospital · NCT06861192 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding fasudil and a PD-1 antibody to standard hormone (androgen-deprivation) therapy before prostatectomy helps men with locally advanced or oligometastatic prostate cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are men aged 18–85 with histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma who are cT3-4 or have ≤5 oligometastatic lesions, have ECOG 0–1, have not received prior prostate cancer treatment, and agree to radical prostatectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have received prior prostate cancer treatments, have small-cell histology, significant comorbidities or drug allergies, or who refuse prostatectomy are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit.

What this trial studies

This randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolls men with locally advanced or oligometastatic prostate cancer who are scheduled for radical prostatectomy. Participants receive standard androgen-deprivation therapy and are randomized to receive either fasudil plus a PD-1 monoclonal antibody (triprilizumab 3 mg/kg IV on day 5 with fasudil 10 mg on days 1–5) or matching placebo. Patients are followed each treatment cycle with PSA and other laboratory tests, undergo imaging at the end of treatment, and proceed to radical prostatectomy about three weeks after the final intervention. The study focuses on pathological response (pCR and minimal residual disease) and preoperative PSA/imaging changes to see if the combination improves tumor control before surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could increase complete pathological responses and reduce residual tumor before surgery, potentially improving surgical and long-term outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Neoadjuvant PD-1 therapies have shown limited benefit in prostate cancer so far, and combining them with a Rho-kinase inhibitor like fasudil is largely novel with little prior clinical evidence.
