Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical safety and efficacy of a gastric ulcer drug, polaprezinc (POL), with the AR-inhibitor abiraterone in Chinese patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).


Clinical Trial Description

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major disease that affects 14.1% male population worldwide with a 6.8% mortality rate in 2020 (https://gco.iarc.fr/). In China, the PCa incidence rate is lower than in Europe and the US but increases rapidly. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been the most used treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer for decades. Despite the initial favorable response, nearly all patients progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and subsequently succumb to the disease within 1-3 years. Zinc-L-carnosine (ZnC), also called polaprezinc (otherwise known as PepZin GI™), is a chelated compound that contains L-carnosine and zinc. Some reports indicated that POL is effective in restoring the gastric lining, healing other parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, improving taste disorders, improving GI disorders, and enhancing skin and liver. The primary mechanisms of POL action are identified as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. We have identified PRDX5 as a therapeutic target and repurposed polaprezinc (POL) as its inhibitor for the treatment of CRPC. CRPC patients will be enrolled with their fully informed consent. Patients will be on abiraterone/prednisone, abiraterone/prednisone plus polaprezinc granules, or with other treatments according to patients' wishes in consultation with physicians. Polaprezinc will be 75 mg b.i.d., for 6 months. A standard regimen will be used for other treatments. PSA will be measured every month. ECT will be taken before and after treatment. ;
