A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-Label Study of Pasritamig (JNJ-78278343), a T-cell-Redirecting Agent Targeting Human Kallikrein 2, With Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
- NCT07225946
The primary objective is to determine whether treatment with pasritamig+docetaxel prolongs rPFS compared with docetaxel in participants with mCRPC who have progressed on at least one ARPI. rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the time of BICR-assessed radiographic progression by CT/MRI or bone scan per PCWG3 and RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
The key secondary objective isto demonstrate additional clinical benefit for participants with mCRPC who have progressed on at least one ARPI treated with pasritamig+docetaxel compared with docetaxel. Clinical benefit will be assessed by OS, time to symptomatic progression, time to subsequent therapy, and time to skeletal-related event.

Prostate Cancer Care Communication (PCCC): Impact of Support Person Presence on Communication During Medical Appointments.
Purpose
This study seeks to better understand communication between patients, their support people, and their oncologist/healthcare providers during prostate cancer treatment appointments. Specifically, this project focuses on how support persons presence in prostate cancer appointments facilitates and/or inhibits communication between patients and providers, and in turn affects communication, mental health (symptoms of depression and anxiety), and quality of life outcomes. This proposal applies relationship and disclosure theoretical frameworks to explore how patients manage information sharing during medical oncology visits. This project is designed to collect data for a subsequent NCI grant proposal to develop a multi-level intervention to facilitate benefits (and limit drawbacks) of support people accompanying patients to oncology visits. We will gather data through surveys of patients with prostate cancer (and some support people) regarding their sharing/withholding patterns with providers and spouses during their treatment visits.
Objectives
The long-term goal of this research is to develop a brief multi-level intervention to assist patients, support people, and healthcare providers navigating the complexities of these communication interactions during prostate cancer treatment. This project explores how patients share information with their healthcare provider when accompanied by a support person and how patients manage their sharing with their healthcare providers and companions (and vice versa) when attending these medical oncology visits. The project is designed to provide preliminary evidence for a subsequent NCI grant proposal to develop a multi-level intervention.
Hypotheses / Research Question(s)
Aim 1: Examine prostate cancer patients sharing and withholding of cancer-related symptoms with their healthcare practitioners during medical oncology visits when their support person is present.
Hypothesis 1: Prostate cancer patients have different patterns of sharing/withholding to healthcare providers depending on who attends the medical visit (spouses versus other roles).
Research question 1: How do prostate cancer patients and their support people differ in communication patterns during the medical visits?
Aim 2: Investigate how prostate cancer patients sharing and withholding of cancer-related symptoms with their healthcare practitioners during medical oncology visits is associated with quality of life, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Hypothesis 2: Prostate cancer patients with different patterns of sharing/withholding to healthcare providers will also have different quality of life outcomes.
Aim 3: Explore how communication patterns differ based on dominant language preferences and across underrepresented racial/ethnic groups across the Cancer Institute of New Jersey Catchment area.
Research question 2: Do communication patterns differ across non-Hispanic white (English speaking), Hispanic (Spanish speaking), and southeast Asian (Gujarati speaking) men with prostate cancer?

1.2.1 Compare health-related quality of life (EPIC-26, EQ-5D-5L, Brief Pain Inventory, PROMIS-Fatigue) among the treatment arms.
1.2.2 Compare overall survival, biochemical progression-free survival, time to local-regional progression, time to castrate resistance, and cancer-specific survival among the treatment arms.
1.2.3 Compare the short-term and long-term treatment-related adverse events among the treatment arms.
1.3 Exploratory Objectives:
1.3.1 Validate Decipher score for an exclusively node-positive population and use additional genomic information from Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0st array to develop and validate novel prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
1.3.2 Validate the PAM50-based classification of prostate cancer into luminal A, luminal B, and basal subtypes as prognostic markers and determine whether the luminal B subtype is a predictive marker for having a larger improvement in outcome from the addition of abiraterone acetate with prednisone and apalutamide.
1.3.3 To optimize quality assurance methodologies and processes for radiotherapy and imaging with machine learning strategies.

Research on the Epidemiology of Prostate Cancer and Environmental Levels (REPEL)
Evidence is accumulating for potential prostate cancer risks associated with high exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals6 9. For example, per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a class of thousands of chemicals, many of which are commonly used in consumer products and industrial processes for their non-stick and water-resistant properties10. Health concerns related to PFAS have emerged due to their tendency to bioaccumulate and ubiquitous presence in humans and wildlife worldwide10 12. An estimated 98% of Americans have detectable levels of commonly measured PFAS13. Although industry began voluntarily phasing out use of several long-chain PFAS in the early 2000 s, concerns remain due to the large number of PFAS still in use, their persistence in the environment and humans, and growing evidence of harms from animal and epidemiologic studies11,14 17.
I will study associations of drinking water chemical exposures with risk of advanced stage CaP at diagnosis and racial disparities in CaP outcomes. I will conduct a pilot study to identify sources of common endocrine disrupting chemicals and associations with CaP progression within a racially diverse sample of CaP survivors recruited from New Brunswick, New Jersey, treated at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ). I will pursue the following specific aims:
1. Compare PFAS sources across racial groups and estimate longitudinal associations between serum PFAS and PSA levels. We will conduct a pilot study in CaP survivors treated in New Jersey to demonstrate feasibility of recruitment, data, and sample collection. Preliminary data will inform establishment of a future cohort of CaP survivors to evaluate environmental factors affecting survivorship and prognosis. Participants will provide serum and tap water samples, and complete a questionnaire to capture water consumption patterns, occupational history, and dietary information. Samples will be analyzed for a panel of 14 short and long-chain PFAS. We will evaluate associations between serum and tap water PFAS, dietary patterns, and spatially modeled levels across racial/ethnic groups using linear regression and principal components analysis. We will study associations between serum PFAS and repeated PSA measures obtained from health records. Synergistic impacts of PFAS mixtures on PSA will be assessed using quantile g-computation.
2. Estimate associations of PFAS mixtures with prostate cancer tumor characteristics, symptoms and quality of life. We will capture clinical information on prostate cancer progression and outcomes from medical records and linkage with the New Jersey State Cancer Registry. Information on prostate cancer symptoms and quality of life will be ascertained from participant questionnaires.

Video Education with Result Dependent dIsclosure (VERDI)
- NCT05225428
The overall study objective is to identify and evaluate strategies to improve the accessibility of the video education with result dependent disclosure (VERDI) model, increasingly utilized as a pre-genetic testing (pretest) education alternative in clinical practice, to better serve a more diverse patient population at risk for hereditary cancers.
This developmental work is imperative as the VERDI models utilized at DFCI in research studies #18-411 (ProActive), #17-409 (ProGen), #19-068 (OPT-IN), and #19-652 (GeneBOPP) have been overwhelmingly used in DFCI patients of Caucasian ancestry. While DFCI participants have responded well, in an effort improve the generalizability of VERDI and expand it to a diverse patient population, qualitative feedback is being sought explicitly from patients who self-identify as Black and Latinx patients.
A brief qualitative assessment among a small, cohort of English and Spanish speaking Black and Latinx participants will first be conducted to identify refinements to video education (VE) that may increase the utility of the VERDI model for patients in these traditionally underserved populations. Participants in the qualitative assessment study will receive VE exclusively for pretest education, followed by a short interview with research staff regarding their experiences with the VE model. The qualitative assessment study will precede a large-scale randomized controlled trial of VERDI vs standard genetic counseling (SGC), as informed by the results of the developmental study.
We hypothesize that the data yielded from the completion of the study objectives will assist in further refining the VERDI model and its use in clinical practices for the purpose of increasing genetic testing uptake and improving patient outcomes in minority populations that have been underrepresented in similar research to date.
