Summary
This study is looking at a medication called ORIC-944 to see if it is safe and whether it may help slow or shrink prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic prostate cancer).
You may be eligible for this study if you have metastatic prostate cancer, and have undergone a bilateral orchiectomy or be willing to continue GnRH analogue or antagonist to maintain castrate levels of testosterone. There are different criteria regarding prior treatment history for each stage of the study, please speak with your doctor about whether you might be eligible.
ORIC-944 is a type of targeted treatment taken by mouth. It works by blocking a specific protein in cancer cells (called PRC2) which may help stop cancer cells from growing.
This is the first time ORIC-944 is being tested in people. The study has several parts:
- Part 1: Participants receive ORIC-944 on its own to understand how safe it is and to find the right dose.
- Part 2: ORIC-944 is given either alone or together with standard prostate cancer treatments called androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) to see how they work together.
- Part 3: Researchers compare two dose levels of ORIC-944 (combined with ARPIs) to choose the best dose for future studies.
Overall, the goal is to learn:
- How safe ORIC-944 is
- What the best dose might be
- WHether it shows early signs of helping treat prostate cancer
