Phase Ib/IIa Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of [²¹²Pb]Pb-ADVC001 in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (TheraPb - Phase I/II Study).

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the TheraPb study, is investigating a new treatment called [²¹²Pb]Pb-ADVC001 for men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. The main goal of the study is to find out if different doses of this treatment are safe and how well it works. The trial has two phases: the first part will look at safety with increasing doses, while the second part will evaluate the treatment's effectiveness in different groups of participants.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be adult men diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, meaning their cancer has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone therapy. They should have specific test results showing their cancer is still progressing, even with low testosterone levels. Other criteria include having certain types of scans done to confirm their cancer's characteristics and being able to understand and comply with study requirements. If you or someone you know is considering participation, they can expect regular treatments, monitoring for side effects, and follow-up assessments to gauge how well the treatment is working.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
• • Adults aged 18 years or older at the time of consent.
• • Has documented metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate, confirmed by histopathology.
• • Has metastatic disease (≥ 1 metastatic lesion present on screening CT, magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] or bone scintigraphy scan).
• * Has castration-resistant prostate cancer progressing or has progressed on androgen receptor therapy with castrate level of serum/plasma testosterone (≤ 50 ng/dL or ≤ 1.7 nmol/L). Progression at screening demonstrated by at least one of the following:
• • 1. Increase in PSA greater than 25% and \> 2 ng/mL above nadir, confirmed by progression at two timepoints at least three weeks apart
• • 2. Progressive disease or new lesion(s) (relative to previous imaging) in the viscera or lymph nodes as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1 or in bone as per Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3). Any ambiguous results are to be confirmed by additional imaging modality (e.g., CT or MRI, Tc99m bone scintigraphy).
• • For Phase 1b Dose Escalation: Exposure to at least one ARPi and taxane-based chemotherapy at any time in the course of their disease (unless taxanes considered contraindicated or declined by participant as documented in the patient's source documents and eCRF).
• • For Phase 2a Expansion Group 1: Has had exposure to at least one ARPi at any time in the course of their disease.Has received at least one line of taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of mCRPC. Has not had exposure to ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA.
• • For Phase 2a Expansion Group 2: Has had exposure to at least one ARPi at any time in the course of their disease. Has not received a taxane for the treatment of mCRPC. Note, participants may have received a taxane-based therapy in the (neo)adjuvant or mHSPC setting at least 12 months prior to C1D1. Has not had exposure to ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA.
• • For Phase 2a Expansion Group 3: Has had exposure to at least one ARPi at any time in the course of their disease. Has had exposure to 177Lu-PSMA at any time in the course of their disease.
• • Has disease that is prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive, as demonstrated by ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-PET/CT or ¹⁸F-based PSMA PET/CT and confirmed as eligible by local reader. PSMA-positive participants are defined as those having at least one tumour lesion with ⁶⁸Ga- or ¹⁸F- PSMA PET CT uptake greater than normal liver (based on visual assessment) and all tumour lesions larger than size criteria with ⁶⁸Ga- or ¹⁸F-PSMA uptake greater than liver \[short axis size criteria: organs ≥ 1 cm, lymph nodes ≥ 2.5 cm, bones (soft tissue component) ≥ 1 cm\].
• • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1.
• • Has adequate haematological, renal, and liver function, as defined by safety laboratory results at Screening.
• • Estimated life expectancy \> 6 months.
• • Has the capacity to understand the study and be willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including the timing and nature of all required assessments.
• • Agrees to comply with the radiation protection guidelines (including hospital admissions and isolation, where relevant) that are applied by the treating institution.
• • Agrees to practice adequate precautions to prevent pregnancy in a partner to avoid potential problems associated with radiation exposure to the unborn child.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Has prostate cancer with known significant sarcomatoid or spindle cell or neuroendocrine small cell components, as determined by the Investigator. Participants with minor sarcomatoid, spindle cell or neuroendocrine small cell prostate cancer, but otherwise PSMA-expressing disease, may be eligible at the discretion of the Investigator.
• • Has symptomatic dry eye, symptomatic dry mouth, Sjogren's syndrome or other pathologies affecting salivary gland function.
• • Has received prior systemic radioligand therapy. Note, prior radium-223 exposure is not exclusionary. Prior exposure to 177Lu-PSMA is required for Group 3 participants in Phase 2a Expansion, provided treatment ceased at least 12 weeks prior to C1D1.
• • Has received systemic anti-cancer therapy and/or radiation therapy within four weeks of C1D1 or has received any investigational agent within four weeks of C1D1. Note, patients should continue on androgen deprivation therapy. Prior ARPi therapy does not require washout prior to C1D1.
• • Participants will not be eligible if any significant adverse events related to prior systemic anti-cancer therapy have not resolved to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE version 5.0) Grade ≤ 2 at the time of Screening, even if the systemic therapy ceased greater than four weeks prior to C1D1.
• • Has malignancies other than prostate cancer within 3 years prior to enrolment, except for those with a negligible risk of metastases (e.g expected 5-year-overall-survival \>90%) treated with expected curative outcome.
• • Has known CNS metastases of any size.
• • Has symptoms of spinal cord compression or impending spinal cord compression. Patients with prior treatment for spinal cord compression should be clinically stable off steroids for at least 4 weeks.
• • Has diffuse bone-marrow involvement, i.e, "superscan", defined as bone scintigraphy in which there is excessive skeletal radioisotope uptake (\>20 bone lesions) in relation to soft tissues, along with absent or faint activity in the genitourinary tract due to diffuse bone/bone marrow metastases).
• • Has a serious active or sub-clinical infection, or angina pectoris, or heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III or IV), or significantly prolonged QT interval, or other serious illness which might impair the ability to participate in this study to the full extent, or which may require treatment that could interact with study treatment. Evidence of untreated urinary tract obstruction (e.g., hydroureter or hydronephrosis). Participants who undergo a successful decompressive procedure prior to treatment and participants with chronic, stable mild to moderate hydronephrosis without renal impairment will not be excluded.
• • Has a known alteration in breast cancer genes (BRCA) BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are eligible to receive poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy according to their treating institution's standard of care. Note, participants with BRCA mutations who had disease progression on PARP inhibitors or who are not eligible for treatment with PARP inhibitors, are eligible.
• • Has severe claustrophobia or other condition (e.g., pain) that may impact the ability to comply with the imaging aspects of this protocol.
