ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer that has not responded to standard therapies. The treatment involves using specially modified immune cells called PSMA-UCAR T-lymphocytes, which are designed to target cancer cells that express a protein called Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA). The goal of the study is to assess the safety and how well different doses of this treatment work for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, meaning their cancer continues to grow despite hormone therapy.

To participate in this trial, men aged 18 to 80 who have been diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer may be eligible, especially if they have already tried other treatments without success. Participants must also have a good understanding of the trial and be able to give their consent. Throughout the study, participants will receive the PSMA-UCAR T treatment, and doctors will closely monitor their health and how their cancer responds. It’s important to know that this is an early-stage trial, which means researchers are still learning about the treatment's effects and safety.
