Interventions

NameTypeDescription
AAA817DRUGAAA817 is being studied for treating PSMA positive mCRPC. Inside the body, it attaches itself to PSMA on the cell surface of the prostate cancer cells and emits radiation to kill them. This treatment is also called a radioligand therapy.
ARPIDRUGAndrogen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI): An ARPI is approved for the treatment of prostate cancer. It works by blocking signals from male hormones, such as testosterone, that helps cancer cells grow. By blocking these signals, an ARPI slows down or stops the growth of prostate cancer cells. In this trial, participants will be given either enzalutamide or abiraterone.
Standard of CareDRUGStandard treatment includes approved treatment for mCRPC. In this trial, the trial doctor will decide which available treatment participants will receive. The trial doctor will select either an ARPI of enzalutamide or abiraterone, or a taxane based chemotherapy of docetaxel or cabazitaxel or \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 (AAA617).
Investigators choice of SoCDRUGThe control treatment in Phase III is investigator's choice of SoC

Frequently asked questions about AAA817

What is AAA817 used for?

AAA817 is an investigational therapy being developed for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is specifically being studied in adults with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The clinical program includes patients whose disease has progressed after prior treatment, including after [177Lu]Lu-PSMA targeted therapy.

Who is developing AAA817?

AAA817 is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating AAA817 in prostate cancer.

What phase is AAA817 in?

AAA817 is in Phase 3 clinical development. The Phase 3 trial is currently recruiting participants, and a Phase 2 trial is also ongoing. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is AAA817 in?

AAA817 is being evaluated in two active clinical trials. NCT06855277 is a Phase 3 study comparing AAA817 plus an ARPI versus standard of care in adults with PSMA-positive mCRPC, with an enrollment of 940. NCT06780670 is a Phase 2 open-label study comparing AAA817 versus standard of care in previously treated PSMA-positive mCRPC patients who progressed on or after [177Lu]Lu-PSMA targeted therapy, with an enrollment of 443.

What does AAA817 target?

AAA817 targets PSMA, or prostate-specific membrane antigen. The clinical trials enroll patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, meaning their tumors express this target. PSMA is a protein commonly overexpressed on prostate cancer cells and is used as a biomarker to select patients for AAA817 therapy.
