ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying an experimental treatment called FOR46 in combination with an existing medication, enzalutamide, for men with advanced prostate cancer that has not responded to previous treatments. The trial aims to see if this new combination can effectively target cancer cells and improve patient outcomes after they have already progressed on other therapies, specifically abiraterone. Participants will be closely monitored to evaluate how well the treatment works.

To be eligible for this trial, men must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to hormone therapy. They should have experienced disease progression despite receiving certain types of hormone treatments. Participants will undergo some tests to ensure their health is suitable for the study, including a biopsy of their cancer tissue. If you join the trial, you will receive the new treatment and be part of regular assessments to track your response. It's also important to know that this study is actively recruiting participants, so there may still be opportunities to enroll.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Histologically confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma.
• • 2. Disease progression by PCWG3 criteria at study entry.
• • 3. Prior progression by PCWG3 criteria on one or more androgen signaling inhibitors including abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, and/or darolutamide.
• • 4. No prior taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of mCRPC. Prior taxane use in the castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) setting allowed provided last dose \> 6 months prior to study entry.
• • 5. Patients must be evaluable for the primary endpoint of composite response, and must have either serum PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL during Screening and/or measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
• • 6. Participants must be willing to undergo metastatic tumor biopsy during Screening. If there is no safely accessible metastatic lesion, this requirement will be waived.
• • 7. Dose Expansion only: Participants must be willing to undergo CD46-directed Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging during Screening (Co-enrolling on NCT05245006, Groups B and C)
• • 8. Castrate level of serum testosterone at study entry (\<50 ng/dL). Patients without prior bilateral orchiectomy are required to remain on Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue treatment for duration of study.
• • 9. No other systemic anti-cancer therapies administered other than LHRH analogue within 14 days or, 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to initiation of study treatment. Adverse events related to prior anti-cancer treatment related to therapies other than LHRH analogue must have recovered to Grade ≤ 1 with the exception of any grade alopecia. a. Patients receiving enzalutamide prior to study entry may continue treatment at their current enzalutamide dose level without requirement for wash-out period.
• • 10. Age \>=18 years.
• • 11. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \<= 1 (Karnofsky performance status \>= 70 percent (%)).
• 12. Demonstrates adequate organ function as defined below:
• • 1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/microliter (mcL).
• • 2. Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL and no platelet transfusions during the 14 days prior to first dose of FOR46.
• • 3. Hemoglobin \>= 8.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) without red blood cell transfusion during the 14 days prior to first dose of FOR46.
• • 4. Total bilirubin \<=1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), unless elevated due to Gilbert's syndrome and direct bilirubin is within normal limits.
• • 5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) /serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) \<=3 x institutional institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).
• • 6. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) =3 x ULN.
• • 7. Serum creatinine \<= 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal OR Calculated creatinine clearance glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 60 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
• • 8. Serum sodium level \>=130 mmol/L.
• • 13. Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it.
• • 14. Individuals with concurrent second malignancy requiring active treatment at study entry. Nonmelanoma skin cancer, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, and other carcinomas-in-situ are allowable exceptions.
• 15. Patients must agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 60 days after last administration of study treatment. Adequate contraception includes:
• • 1. Patients who are sexually active should consider their female partner to be of childbearing potential if she has experienced menarche and is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea \> 24 consecutive months) or has not undergone successful surgical sterilization. Even women who use contraceptive hormones (oral, implanted, or injected), an intrauterine device, or barrier methods (diaphragms, condoms, spermicide) should be considered to be of childbearing potential.
• • 2. Acceptable methods of contraception include continuous total abstinence, or double-barrier method of birth control (e.g. condoms used with spermicide, or condoms used with oral contraceptives). Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose of FOR46.
• • 2. Prior treatment with FOR46 or another CD46-targeting therapeutic agent.
• • 3. Prior histologic evidence of de novo or treatment-emergent small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Pathologic assessment of baseline tumor biopsy performed during Screening is not required for determination of study eligibility.
• 4. Cardiac condition as defined as one or more of the following:
• • 1. Uncontrolled supraventricular arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment.
• • 2. New York Heart Association (NYHA) congestive heart failure class III or IV.
• • 3. History of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to Cycle 1, Day 1.
• 5. History of seizure or pre-disposing condition including:
• • 1. History of brain metastasis.
• • 2. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months prior to study entry.
• • 3. History of intracranial hemorrhage.
• • 6. History of pneumonitis.
• • 7. Is receiving systemic steroid therapy at a prednisone equivalent dose of \> 10 milligram daily or other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to first dose of study drug.
• • 8. Has an active infection requiring intravenous antibiotics within 7 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1.
• 9. Use of a prohibited concomitant medication within 7 days of first dose of FOR46, including:
• • a. Strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 (boceprevir, clarithromycin, cobicistat, conivaptan, diltiazem, danoprevir/ritonavir, elvitegravir/ritonavir, grapefruit juice, idelalisib, indinavir/ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir and/or dasabuvir, posaconazole, ritonavir, saquinavir/ritonavir, tipranavir/ritonavir, troleandomycin, and voriconazole).
