Study on Modulating Adenosine Signaling and Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer with Limited Spread
Sponsor: Catherine Spina
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05915442
This clinical trial is testing a combination of study drugs and radiation therapy to see if they can improve outcomes for men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to a few areas. The study aims to find out if this approach can better control the cancer and delay the need for hormone therapy.

Program Overview
The study is exploring a new treatment approach for men with prostate cancer that has spread to a few areas (oligometastatic) and is still sensitive to hormone therapy. It combines three study drugs—zimberelimab, etrumadenant, and quemliclustat—with targeted radiation therapy to see if this combination can improve cancer control and delay progression compared to radiation therapy alone. The study will measure various outcomes, including cancer progression, response to treatment, and safety.
Description
This study focuses on men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites and is still responsive to hormone therapy. With advancements in imaging technology, doctors can now better identify and target these limited metastases. The study aims to enhance the effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) by adding drugs that target specific pathways involved in cancer growth and immune suppression.
The treatment involves using zimberelimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, along with etrumadenant and quemliclustat, which target the adenosine signaling pathway. These drugs are combined with SBRT to see if they can improve cancer control, delay progression, and reduce the need for hormone therapy. The study will assess various outcomes, including cancer progression, response to treatment, and safety.
Participants will be monitored for changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, local cancer control, progression-free survival, and overall treatment response. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the treatment combination.
