Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) (eg, abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide or darolutamide). Previous prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted therapy or cytotoxic chemotherapy is allowed but not required.
- Androgen levels ≤50 ng/dL (≤1.73 nmol/L).
- Disease progression following ADT and ARPI treatment described
- PSA progression over 2 assessments, defined as rising PSA values from 2 consecutive assessments with an interval of at least 7 days between assessments. PSA levels prior to study enrollment are considered and appropriate for inclusion.
- Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 on chest/abdomen/pelvis CT or evaluable disease observed on bone scan.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, or 2
- Appropriate hepatic function defined by a total bilirubin (TBL) ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) AND aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 × ULN at screening.
- Appropriate kidney function defined by calculated or actual creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3.
- Platelets ≥100,000 cells/mm3.
- Serum hemoglobin level ≥8 g/dL.
- Agree to not donate blood or sperm during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.
- Patients with sexual partners of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion criteria
- Any investigational agent: within 4 weeks OR within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is shorter, before initiating study treatment.
- Low PSA (≤10 ng/mL) at initial presentation (before ADT or at symptomatic progression in the castrate setting) plus high volume (≥20) bone metastases.
- Simultaneous enrollment in any other cancer treatment interventional clinical trial.
- Active, uncontrolled diarrhea leading to dehydration or electrolyte disturbances not controlled with oral repletion.
- Grade ≥3 uncontrolled infection.
- Major surgery (in the opinion of the treating investigator) ≤3 weeks before initiating study treatment.
- Not having fully recovered to a grade of 1 or lower from any surgery-related adverse effects within the 3 weeks preceding the start of the study treatment.
- Small cell, anaplastic, or neuroendocrine component.
- Known active brain metastasis.
- Known active leptomeningeal disease.
- Planned ongoing treatment with other drugs thought to potentially have adverse interactions with either of the medications included in the study treatment must be discontinued ≥2 weeks prior to initiating study treatment unless otherwise noted:
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) use; must discontinue use 10 days prior to initiating study therapy.
- Strong or moderate CYP1A2, CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors.
- Rucaparib, Olaparib and Talazoparib, due to their common findings of liver enzyme elevation.
- Inability to swallow medication.
- Known hypersensitivity to GZ17-6.02 components (curcumin, harmine, and isovanillin) or excipients.
- Known or suspected malabsorption condition or obstruction.
- Active untreated hepatitis B or C" and "Known liver cirrhosis of any cause, active nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Note: no additional testing necessary to confirm
- Medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the patient's risk or limit the patient's adherence with study requirements

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
