Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out what treatment works best for participants with metastatic prostate cancer that are not responding to hormone treatment and docetaxel and are also Prostate-specific membrane antigen(PSMA) positive.

Description

Brief Background/Rationale

Metastatic prostate cancer initially is very responsive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with intensification using an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) such as abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide with or without docetaxel to prolong sensitivity to treatment and overall survival. Over time, however, prostate cancer transitions from castrate-sensitive to castrate-resistant. Metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has a dismal prognosis, with a median survival of under three years. There are now several agents with diverse mechanisms of action approved for use in mCRPC including cabazitaxel, sipuleucel-T, abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, radium-223, olaparib, rucaparib, and 177Lu-PSMA-617.

Despite the treatment advances in the past decade, many cases of mCRPC either do not respond to these treatments or only respond for a short period of time. Predictive biomarkers are needed. In addition, with several options available, it is not always clear the optimal sequencing of these agents.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer that has previously been treated with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. Prior docetaxel exposure is recommended but not mandatory. Tissue is not mandatory, but a pathologic report is required at time of enrollment.
  2. Participants must have a PSMA-positive 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 performed within 12 weeks from C1D1 with ≥1 site with SUVmax ≥10) mCRPC with progression on prior novel hormonal agent to include at least one of the following:
    1. PSMA SUV mean <10
    2. ≥1 visceral metastasis
    3. ≥5 bone metastases

OR two of the following

  1. TP53
  2. PTEN
  3. RB1 mutation.
  4. Age > 18 years.
  5. ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
  6. Subjects must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below to be

    suitable for the randomized treatment outlined in this:

    • Absolute neutrophil count >1000/μL; platelet count >90 000/μL; hemoglobin >8.5 g/dL) at screening.
     Note: Subjects must not have received any growth factors within 7 days or blood
     transfusions within 14 days prior to the hematologic laboratory values obtained at
     screening).
       -  Total bilirubin (TBIL) <2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening,
          except subjects with documented Gilbert syndrome who must have a TBIL <3 mg/dL
       -  Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 5 ULN at
          screening
       -  Creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate
          (eGFR) ≥30
       -  Albumin >30 g/L (3.0 g/dL) at screening

6. Subjects receiving bisphosphonates or other approved bone-targeting therapy (e.g.,

     denosumab) must be on a stable dose for at least 14 days before the start of study
     treatment.

7. Subjects of child-producing potential agree to use highly effective contraceptive

     methods (i.e., barrier contraception measures such as a male condom with spermicide
     during intercourse) and avoid sperm donation during the study treatment and for 3
     months after the last dose of study treatment. A man is considered to be of child
     producing potential, unless he has had a bilateral vasectomy with documented
     aspermia or a bilateral orchiectomy. Partners of participants must also practice
     approved forms of birth control

8. Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written

informed consent form (ICF).

9. Members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Evidence of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC)
  2. Evidence of small cell prostate cancer
  3. Subjects receiving any other investigational agents.
  4. Diagnosis of another clinically significant malignancy within the previous 2 years other than curatively treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or superficial urothelial carcinoma and other in situ or noninvasive malignancies, as determined by the PI or Co-PI.
  5. Subjects with brain metastases/central nervous system (CNS) disease that are treated prior to enrollment will be allowed in this clinical trial.
  6. Known or suspected significant hypersensitivity to any components of the formulation used for Cabazitaxel, carboplatin or 177Lu-PSMA-617.
  7. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations considered by the Investigator to limit compliance with study requirements.
  8. Prior treatment toxicities not resolved to ≤ Grade 2 according to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
