Golimumab and Apalutamide for the Treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, TRAMP Study

Conditions

Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase II trial tests how well golimumab and apalutamide work in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer. Golimumab is in a class of medications called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of TNF, a substance in the body that causes inflammation. Apalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. Giving golimumab and apalutamide may work better in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
