Safety and Tolerability of Atezolizumab (ATZ) in Combination With Radium-223 Dichloride (R-223-D) in Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Progressed Following Treatment With an Androgen Pathway Inhibitor

Overview

About this study

This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab when given in combination with radium-223 dichloride in participants with metastatic CRPC who have progressed after treatment with an androgen pathway inhibitor. This adaptive design study includes a cohort phase and a potential randomization phase. An initial concurrent dosing evaluation will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a treatment regimen that employs a concurrent start time for atezolizumab and radium-223 dichloride (Cohort 1). If concurrent dosing is found to be safe and tolerable in Cohort 1, additional participants will be enrolled and eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Arms A, B, and C. If concurrent dosing is not tolerated in Cohort 1, new participants will be enrolled in a staggered dosing evaluation: Cohort 2 (28-day radium-223 dichloride run-in, atezolizumab will begin on Day 1 of Cycle 2) and Cohort 3 (56-day radium-223 dichloride run-in, atezolizumab will begin on Day 1 of Cycle 3). If the Cohort 2 schedule is tolerable, then additional participants will be enrolled using this treatment schedule; If the Cohort 2 schedule is not tolerable, subsequent participants will be enrolled in Cohort 3. If the Cohort 3 schedule is tolerable, then additional participants will be enrolled using this treatment schedule. If Cohort 3 schedule is not tolerable, no additional participant will be enrolled in the study.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
