Overview
This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of \[161Tb\]Tb -PSMA-I\&T in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Description
This prospective, single-centre, single-arm phase I/II trial will assess the safety, efficacy and anti-tumour activity of \[161Tb\]Tb-PSMA-I\&T in patients with mCRPC.
This study aims to assess and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of \[161Tb\]Tb-PSMA-I\&T in patients with mCRPC.
42 men with mCRPC who have progressed with at least one line of taxane chemotherapy and at least one second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted agent will be enrolled in this trial in two stages: dose escalation and a dose expansion phase over a period of 24 months.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient has provided written informed consent.
- Male patients must be 18 years of age or older at the time of written informed consent.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, OR unequivocal diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer (i.e., involving bone or pelvic lymph nodes or para-aortic lymph nodes) with an elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
- Patients must have had prior treatment with at least one line of taxane chemotherapy, unless medically unsuitable.
- Patients must have had prior treatment with at least one second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted agent (e.g., enzalutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide or darolutamide).
- Patients must have progressive disease defined according to The Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) as any one of the following:
- PSA progression - minimum of 2 rising PSA values from a baseline measurement with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each measurement
- Soft tissue progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria
- Bone progression: ≥ 2 new lesions on bone scan
- Prior surgical orchiectomy or chemical castration maintained on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue (agonist or antagonist).
- Serum testosterone levels ≤ 1.75nmol/L (≤ 50ng/dL).
- Significant prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) avidity on PSMA positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), defined as a minimum uptake of maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) 20 at a site of disease, and SUVmax \> 10 at sites of measurable soft tissue disease ≥ 15mm (unless subject to factors explaining a lower uptake, e.g. respiratory motion, reconstruction artefact).
- Patients must have a life expectancy ≥ 6 months.
- Patients must have adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function, defined as:
- Haemoglobin ≥ 100g/L independent of transfusions (no red blood cell transfusion in last 4 weeks)
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L
- Platelets ≥ 150 x 10\^9/L
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) except for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, where this applies for the unconjugated bilirubin component
- Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3x ULN if there is no evidence of liver metastasis or ≤ 5x ULN in the presence of liver metastases
- Adequate renal function: patients must have a creatinine clearance estimated of ≥ 40mL/min using the Cockcroft Gault equation (Appendix 3)
- Sexually active patients are willing to use medically acceptable forms of barrier contraception.
- Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including all treatments and the timing and nature of all required assessments.
- At least 3 weeks since the completion of surgery or radiotherapy prior to registration.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with another radioisotope (i.e. PSMA radioligands, radium-223, strontium-89, samarium-153).
- Site(s) of discordant disease on PET imaging (Fluorodeoxyglucose \[FDG\]-positive and minimal PSMA-uptake).
- Other malignancies (in addition to the prostate cancer being treated on this study) within the previous 2-years prior to registration other than basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of skin or other cancers that are unlikely to recur within 24 months.
- Symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases.
- Patients with symptomatic or impending cord compression unless appropriately treated beforehand and clinically stable for more than 4 weeks.
- Concurrent illness, including severe infection that may jeopardize the ability of the patient to undergo the procedures outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety.
