About this study
In plain language
This study tests Enhertu after other treatments for prostate cancer that has spread and keeps growing despite treatment to lower testosterone. It is for people with HER2-positive cancer, meaning their cancer has a protein called HER2.
Use of Enhertu as a Subsequent Line of Therapy in HER2-Positive Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Adenocarcinoma.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Lab tests confirm prostate adenocarcinoma, a cancer that starts in gland cells.
- Cancer has spread and worsened during testosterone-lowering treatment and newer hormone drugs. Prior taxane chemotherapy is not required.
- Still receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to keep testosterone below 50 ng/dL.
- A preserved tumor sample is available for HER2 testing.
- Expected to live 6 months.
- Fully active or able to do light work, with limits on hard physical activity.
- The heart pumps out at least 50% of the blood in its main pumping chamber with each beat.
- Blood clotting, organs, bone marrow, kidneys, and liver work well enough.
Who can't join
- Past lung tissue disease or lung inflammation that needed steroid treatment.
- Serious disease in the blood vessels that supply the heart.
- Past treatment with a drug that targets HER2.
