Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 90 with confirmed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and good overall health.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe underlying health conditions or those unable to tolerate systemic heat stress may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates a novel multimodal treatment approach for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that combines near-infrared whole-body thermal stimulation, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (Tislelizumab), and a targeted therapy (Anlotinib). Initially, the efficacy and safety of this combination will be assessed in animal models, followed by organoid studies to validate its feasibility. A randomized controlled clinical trial will then evaluate the treatment's effectiveness and safety in human patients, with long-term follow-up to gather data on quality of life improvements. The study will also analyze the synergistic effects of the therapies at molecular and cellular levels.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While the combination of these specific therapies is novel, similar multimodal approaches have shown promise in other studies.
