- Ages 18 years and older
- Men only
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Disease that is metastatic either to bone, any lymph node, or both without clear evidence of other metastatic sites at the time of screening by conventional imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (chest, abdomen, and pelvis) and 99m^Tc bone scan. Visceral disease is not allowed
- PSA greater than or equal to (≥) 2 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) at screening
- In the opinion of the investigator, the next best treatment option is a clinical trial
- Participants are required to have had all life-prolonging therapies for which they are clinically eligible in the opinion of the investigator and to which they have access. Prior therapies could have been given in any disease setting (not limited to mCRPC). In particular, prior treatment specifications include receipt of the following:
- Androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI): Must have progressed on at least 1 ARPI and unlikely to benefit from retreatment with another ARPI
Show all 17Show fewer
- Taxanes: Required to have received at least 2 previous taxane-based regimens. If a participant has received only 1 taxane regimen, the participant is eligible if:
- Cabazitaxel is not available
- The participant's physician deems the participant unsuitable to receive a second taxane regimen due to toxicity risk or prior intolerance Note: a taxane-based regimen consists of at least 2 cycles of a taxane (either as a single agent or in combination with other therapies) administered within the same 2-month period
- Radioligand therapy: Required to have been previously treated with at least 1 dose of Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted lutetium radioligand therapy (eg, lutetium Lu-177 vipivotide tetraxetan), unless one of the following applies:
- PSMA-targeted lutetium radioligand therapy is unavailable, not accessible, or not clinically indicated.
- The participant's physician deems the participant unsuitable to receive PSMA-targeted lutetium radioligand therapy.
- Polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi): Required to have been previously treated with PARPi, if the participant has a known germline or somatic BRCA mutation and treatment is available
- Prior orchiectomy or medical castration (receiving ongoing ADT with a GnRH analog [agonist or antagonist]) prior to the first dose of study treatment and must continue this therapy throughout the treatment phase
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
- Participants are eligible if they have the following values:
- eGFR ≥ 40 milliliters per minute (mL/min) B) Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) less than or equal to (≤) 3 times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) C) Total bilirubin <1.5 times ULN D) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0x10^9/per liter (L) E) Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) F) Platelet count ≥ 75x10^9/L
Who cannot join
- Venous thromboembolic events within 1 month prior to the first dose of study treatment; uncomplicated (Grade ≤ 2) deep vein thrombosis is not exclusionary
- Active autoimmune disease within the past 12 months that requires systemic immunosuppressive medications (eg, chronic corticosteroid, methotrexate, or tacrolimus)
- Participants with Grade 1 or higher fever (≥38ºC) or active infection requiring systemic treatment within 7 days prior to randomization are ineligible. Participants must be afebrile (<38ºC) at the time of study treatment dosing unless approved by medical monitor
- Clinically significant pulmonary compromise, particularly a requirement for supplemental oxygen use (>2 liters per minute (L/min) by nasal cannula) to maintain adequate oxygenation
- Prior or concurrent second malignancy (other than the disease under study) for which natural history or treatment could likely interfere with any study endpoints of safety or the efficacy of the study treatment(s)
- Any of the following within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment:
- Myocardial infarction B) Severe or unstable angina C) Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias D) Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class II to IV) E) Transient ischemic attack F) Cerebrovascular accident
- Prior treatment with any CD3-directed therapy

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Secondary outcomes (9)
Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS)
rPFS assessed by investigator defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of radiographic disease progression (based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors [RECIST] version (v) 1.1 and prostate cancer working group 3 [PCWG3] criteria) or death, whichever comes first.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Time to Symptomatic Progression
Time to symptomatic progression is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of any of the following (whichever occurs first): (a) the use of external beam radiation therapy to relieve cancer-related symptoms; (b) the need for tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention; (c) other cancer-related procedures; (d) cancer-related morbid events; (e) initiation of a new systemic anti-cancer therapy because of cancer symptoms.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Time to Skeletal-Related Event
Time to skeletal-related event is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first occurrence of any of the following (whichever occurs first): (a) the use of external beam radiation for skeletal or pelvic symptoms; b) the need for tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention; (c) the occurrence of new bone fractures (cancer-related); (d) the occurrence of tumor-related spinal cord compression.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the date of randomization to the date of first evidence of radiographic progression, clinical progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Time to Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression
Time to PSA progression, defined as the time from randomization to the first date of documented PSA progression per PCWG3 criteria. PSA progression is defined as: after a decline from baseline, PSA increases >= 25 percentage (%) and >= 2 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) above the nadir, confirmed by a second value >= 3 weeks later (that is, a confirmed rising trend), or If there is no decline from baseline, PSA increases >= 25 % and >= 2 ng/mL from baseline after 12 weeks.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Time to Pain Progression (TTPP) as Assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Item 3 Worst Pain in 24 Hours
TTPP is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first observation of pain progression. Pain progression is defined as an increase of at least 2 points from baseline in the BPI-SF worst pain intensity (item 3) observed at 2 consecutive evaluations >= 3 weeks apart. BPI-SF is an 11-item questionnaire, designed to assess severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Total score range from 0 to 10 with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing" pain as bad as you can imagine".
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Time to Deterioration in Fatigue as Assessed by the European Organisation For Research And Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Fatigue Scale Score
Time to deterioration is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first observation of deterioration in Fatigue. Deterioration in Fatigue is defined as an increase of 10 points on the EORTC QLQ-C30 FA scale observed at 2 consecutive evaluations >= 3 weeks apart. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a widely used tool for assessing the quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials. Responses to items 1-28 are rated on a 4-point Likert response scale ranging from 1 "Not at all" to 4 "Very much". Two global health status items are rated on a 7-point numeric rating scale from 1 "Very Poor" to 7 "Excellent". Each subscale of the EORTC QLQ-C30 is scored on a range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms or problems.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.
Measured: Up to 2 years and 8 months
Number of Participants with Abnormalities in Clinical Laboratory Assessments
Participants with abnormalities in clinical laboratory parameters (hematology, clinical chemistry etc.) will be assessed.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall survival (length of time from the start of study to date of death from any cause) for pasritamig (JNJ-78278343) in Part 1 in combination with best supportive care (BSC) and in Part 2 with JNJ-87189401+BSC as compared to placebo with BSC in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC; a stage of cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland and is no longer responding to hormone therapies).

Key inclusion criteria (17 listed)
- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Disease that is metastatic either to bone, any lymph node, or both without clear evidence of other metastatic sites at the time of screening by conventional imaging with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (chest, abdomen, and pelvis) and 99m^Tc bone scan. Visceral disease is not allowed
- PSA greater than or equal to (≥) 2 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) at screening
- In the opinion of the investigator, the next best treatment option is a clinical trial
- Participants are required to have had all life-prolonging therapies for which they are clinically eligible in the opinion of the investigator and to which they have access. Prior therapies could have been given in any disease setting (not limited to mCRPC). In particular, prior treatment specifications include receipt of the following:
Key exclusion criteria (8 listed)
- Venous thromboembolic events within 1 month prior to the first dose of study treatment; uncomplicated (Grade ≤ 2) deep vein thrombosis is not exclusionary
- Active autoimmune disease within the past 12 months that requires systemic immunosuppressive medications (eg, chronic corticosteroid, methotrexate, or tacrolimus)
- Participants with Grade 1 or higher fever (≥38ºC) or active infection requiring systemic treatment within 7 days prior to randomization are ineligible. Participants must be afebrile (<38ºC) at the time of study treatment dosing unless approved by medical monitor
- Clinically significant pulmonary compromise, particularly a requirement for supplemental oxygen use (>2 liters per minute (L/min) by nasal cannula) to maintain adequate oxygenation
- Prior or concurrent second malignancy (other than the disease under study) for which natural history or treatment could likely interfere with any study endpoints of safety or the efficacy of the study treatment(s)
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 176 sites in United States, China, Japan, France, Germany and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Study Contact (844-434-4210, Participate-In-This-Study1@its.jnj.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: Up to 2 years and 8 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2026.
