information on BITE trial: anyone have experience with BITE?

[julyturqsee]

it seems my partner is losing ground fast on Standard Care Lupron + (Zytiga failed in less than 8 months); he's on Chemo (Docetaxel (the first 4 failed out of 7 infusions) + Carboplatin (3). His MO suggested the bridge would be too long (4-6 weeks) for Car T-cell Trial; instead recommended BITE (involves hospitalization 3-4 days after each treatment with (from 3-5 treatments). Greatly appreciate if anyone has been on BITE trial or can advise on its duration/efficacy. In 10 days he'll have his 1st PSMA pet scan. Many thanks.

Yes, there is not previous experience and these are results in low number of patients. IMHO, so far, a lot of side effects and low response rate.

We were offered it. After researching it we decided against trying it. He was still weak from Lynparza, which hospitalized him, and the side effects worried me. Also, we are avoiding hospitals as much as possible during covid. Look into it and decide.
