About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Enzalutamide and PDS01ADC in PET Positive Recurrent Prostate Cancer (pprPC) Without Testosterone Lowering Therapy

Background:

Prostate cancer may return after treatment in 30,000 to 50,000 people each year. There is no clear best way to treat these people. Better treatments are needed.

Read more

Objective:

To test a study drug (enzalutamide), both alone and combined with a second drug (PDS01ADC), in people with prostate cancer that returned after treatment.

Eligibility:

People aged 18 years and older with prostate cancer that returned after treatment.

Design:

Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with blood tests. All their urine will be collected for 24 hours. They will have imaging scans of their chest, abdomen, pelvis, and bones. Their ability to perform everyday activities will be assessed. They may opt to give a stool sample.

Participants will be treated in 4-week cycles.

Enzalutamide is a pill taken by mouth once a day, every day. All participants will be given a supply of this drug to take at home.

PDS01ADC is injected under the skin once a month, on the first day of each cycle. Half of the participants will receive both drugs.

All participants will visit the clinic once a month. Each visit should last no more than 8 hours. Blood and urine tests will be repeated.

All participants will receive the study treatment for 3 cycles. Some participants may need 3 more cycles of treatment with enzalutamide only. This re-treatment can be done only once.

Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after they finish treatment. After that, they will have visits every 6 weeks for up to 5 years. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated.

Read the detailed description
  • Enzalutamide given with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer based on conventional computed tomography (CT) and Tc99 scan.
  • Enzalutamide for 3 months (short course) given without ADT has demonstrated the ability to control prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in recurrent prostate cancer for nearly a year, delaying the need for additional therapy.
  • Enzalutamide without ADT was very well tolerated in our previous study, a prerequisite for any therapy in recurrent disease where patients may not have symptoms from prostate cancer for 5-10 years.
  • Enzalutamide without ADT demonstrated the ability to enhance natural killer (NK) cells and decrease myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
  • PDS01ADC is an immunocytokine that binds to areas of necrotic tumors. Preclinical data have demonstrated that PDS01ADC delivery to the tumor is enhanced by cytotoxic therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy.
  • PDS01ADC has been shown to be well tolerated and even induce PSA responses in patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
  • PDS01ADC has also been able to enhance NK cells in prostate cancer patients.
  • Higher levels of NK cells have been associated with better clinical outcomes in prostate cancer.
  • Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is now approved in recurrent prostate cancer. No trial has prospectively evaluated an anti-androgen therapy (e.g., enzalutamide) without ADT in this population. If changes in imaging are seen similar to the PSA responses noted previously, these findings may demonstrate the efficacy of enzalutamide-based regimens in recurrent prostate cancer.
  • Given that enzalutamide is cytotoxic and will induce necrosis, there is a rationale to combine it with the necrosis-targeting agent PDS01ADC. The fact that both enhance NK cells, which have been associated with better clinical outcomes adds further rationale to this combination.

Objective:

-To determine if the combination of enzalutamide and immunotherapy (PDS01ADC) is associated with an increase in the duration of PSA suppression compared to that of enzalutamide alone in participants with PET Positive Recurrent Prostate Cancer (pprPC).

Eligibility:

  • Participant must provide documentation of histologic or cytological confirmation of prostate cancer or tumor sample for diagnosis confirmation. Note: in the absence of pathology or documentation, participant must have a rising PSA, PSMA plus disease, and his history consistent with prostate cancer as documented by the investigator.
  • History of primary treatment for prostate cancer (either surgery or radiation).
  • PSA doubling time within less than 1 year before treatment initiation.
  • Testosterone >100 ng/dL.
  • Age >=18 years.
  • Evidence of prostate cancer on PSMA PET/CT scan.
  • Negative Tc99 Bone Scan.
  • No evidence of soft tissue disease on the CT scan (or MRI) per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1).

Design:

  • This is an open-label phase II clinical trial with two treatment arms: Arm 1 (enzalutamide) and Arm 2 (enzalutamide plus PDS01ADC).
  • After enrollment, participants will be randomized between Arms 1 and 2 and receive 3 cycles of treatment of enzalutamide or enzalutamide and PDS01ADC.
  • During off treatment monitoring period following the third cycle, participants who experience PSA recovery to baseline will have a second course of enzalutamide treatment only (3 cycles total).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine if the combination of enzalutamide and PDS01ADC is associated with an increase in the duration of PSA suppression compared to that of enzalutamide alone

    Kaplan-Meier curves and a one-tailed log-rank test. The median time to loss of PSA control on each arm will be reported along with a 95% confidence interval; in addition, based on the result from the prior trial, the probability of PSA control at 224 days (approximately 7 months) will also be reported on both arms, along with 95% confidence intervals

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. PET changes after enzalutamide with and without PDS01ADC treatment

    PET changes will be reported descriptively

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Safety of study treatment

    Safety will be evaluated by determining the frequency of adverse events among treated participants and reporting the results, by maximum grade of event and type of toxicity noted

    Measured: until 30 days after last dose of study drug

  3. Evaluate immune response

    Results of peripheral immune cell subsets including CD4 and CD8 T cells, NK cells, Tregs, and MDSCs measurements will be reported descriptively

    Measured: 1 year

  4. PSA detection

    The proportion of participants with undetectable PSA at 12 months will be reported along with a 95% confidence interval

    Measured: 1 year
