The study titled A Multi-arm, Open-label Phase I/IIa Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Preliminary Efficacy of AZD5305 in Combination With New Hormonal Agents in Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer (PETRANHA) aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AZD5305 combined with new hormonal agents in treating metastatic prostate cancer. This research is crucial as it explores potential advancements in cancer treatment, which could significantly impact patient outcomes.
The interventions being tested include AZD5305 in combination with various hormonal agents such as Enzalutamide, Abiraterone Acetate, Darolutamide, and Apalutamide. These combinations are intended to improve treatment efficacy for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
The study is designed as an interventional trial with a non-randomized, parallel assignment model. It is open-label, meaning no masking is involved, and its primary purpose is treatment-focused. The study consists of two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion, targeting different patient groups.
The study began on June 2, 2022, with an estimated completion date in July 2025. These dates are pivotal as they provide a timeline for when results might influence market dynamics and treatment protocols.
The potential market implications of this study are significant for AstraZeneca and Bayer AG, as positive results could enhance their stock performance and investor confidence. The study’s outcomes may also affect the competitive landscape in the oncology sector, influencing other companies involved in prostate cancer treatment.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
