An Open-label Study of JSB462 (Luxdegalutamide) in Combination With Abiraterone in Adult Male Patients With Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC)

This study is for men with advanced prostate cancer that still responds to hormone treatment, meaning it has spread to other parts of the body but hasn't become resistant to hormone therapy yet. Researchers are testing a new drug called JSB462 (also known as luxdegalutamide) in combination with existing treatments, abiraterone or enzalutamide. The main goal is to find the best dose of JSB462 to use with these treatments and see how effective and safe this combination is. This is a Phase II study, which means it's an earlier stage. If successful, it could lead to a larger study in the future. Participants will be carefully monitored for both the positive effects of the treatment and any potential side effects.

What is this study about?

This study is looking into a new way to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) but still responds to hormone therapy. This type of cancer is called metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Currently, men with mHSPC are often treated with drugs like abiraterone or enzalutamide, which work by interfering with the hormones that cancer cells need to grow.

The researchers are testing a new drug called JSB462 (also known as luxdegalutamide) alongside these standard treatments. They want to see if adding JSB462 can improve how well abiraterone or enzalutamide work, and if it's safe to combine them. The study is particularly trying to figure out the best dose of JSB462 to recommend for future, larger studies.

Finding new and more effective treatments for prostate cancer is important because it can help men live longer and have a better quality of life. By carefully studying these new combinations, doctors hope to offer better options for patients in the future.

Key takeaways

  • This study evaluates a new drug, JSB462, for advanced prostate cancer.
  • It combines JSB462 with standard hormone treatments: abiraterone or enzalutamide.
  • The goal is to find the best dose and assess effectiveness and safety for men with mHSPC.
  • Participation involves screening, daily oral medication, and follow-up appointments.
  • It's an early-stage study (Phase II) exploring potential new treatment options.

Who may be eligible?

This study is looking for adult men aged 18 years and older who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, but is still responding to hormone treatment. This means you have metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Your prostate cancer must also show a specific type of spread, usually to bones or other organs, as seen on scans.

You would not be able to join if your cancer has already been treated with certain newer hormone therapies like enzalutamide or abiraterone for advanced disease. However, if you received some of these treatments for localized prostate cancer more than a year ago, you might still be eligible. Also, the study is not for men whose cancer has only shown up as a change in blood test results without clear signs of spread on scans, or if you have a specific mixed type of prostate cancer.

Could this study suit you?

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

  1. Are you an adult male with prostate cancer that has spread?
  2. Does your prostate cancer still respond to hormone treatment?
  3. Have you *not* had newer hormone treatments (like enzalutamide or abiraterone) for advanced prostate cancer before?
  4. Do you have good general health, as assessed by a doctor?
  5. Are there clear signs of your cancer spread on scans, not just blood tests?
  6. Is your testosterone level low (castrate level) either naturally or from existing treatment?
Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to take part, the study will involve several stages. First, there will be a screening period lasting up to 28 days to check if you meet all the requirements. If you do, you'll start the treatment period. During this time, you'll take JSB462, along with either abiraterone or enzalutamide, every day by mouth. This treatment will continue for as long as it's helping you and you're not experiencing difficult side effects, or until you or your doctor decide to stop.

After you stop taking the study medication, there will be a safety follow-up period of about 30 days to check on your health. Following this, there will be a longer-term follow-up period where the study team may continue to collect information on your health, how you are doing, and if the treatment continues to have an effect. The total length of your participation will depend on how long you receive treatment and the final end date of the study.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in a clinical trial might offer potential benefits, such as access to a new treatment combination that isn't widely available yet, which could be more effective for your condition. However, there are also potential risks involved. The new drug, JSB462, is still being studied, so its side effects and how it interacts with other medications are not fully known. You might experience side effects from the study drugs. It's important to understand that you can decide to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your usual medical care.

Common questions

What is 'metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer'?

This means your prostate cancer has spread to other parts of your body (metastatic), but it still responds to treatments that lower male hormones (hormone-sensitive).

What is the new drug, JSB462, supposed to do?

JSB462 is being tested to see if it can improve the effectiveness of existing hormone treatments like abiraterone or enzalutamide for prostate cancer.

Will I know which treatment I'm getting?

This study is 'open-label,' meaning both you and your study doctor will know which specific doses of JSB462 and the other treatment (abiraterone or enzalutamide) you are receiving.

What happens after the treatment period ends?

After treatment, you'll have follow-up visits to check your safety and health. The study team may also track your progress in the long term.

Can I get other prostate cancer treatments if I'm in the study?

While on the study treatment, you will follow the study's plan. After stopping the study treatment, your doctor can discuss other treatments available to you.
