Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men aged 18 and older with a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer who have experienced biochemical recurrence without distant metastasis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with aggressive disease progression or those with distant metastasis may not benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies
This phase I open-label study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the bispecific antibody CC-1 in men experiencing biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. The antibody targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and CD3, allowing for a dual anti-cancer action by binding to tumor cells and vessels. The trial includes a dose escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose, followed by a dose expansion phase where CC-1 will be administered intravenously twice weekly for three weeks. The study aims to assess both the safety profile and potential effectiveness of this novel treatment approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for men with recurrent prostate cancer, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting PSMA have shown promise in treating prostate cancer, indicating potential for success.
