An Open-label Study Comparing Lutetium (177Lu) Vipivotide Tetraxetan Versus Observation in PSMA Positive OMPC. (PSMA-DC)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of AAA617 versus observation after Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), in delaying castration or disease recurrence in adult patients with PSMA
positive OMPC with 1 to 5 metastatic lesions detected by PSMA PET using gallium (68Ga) gozetotide or piflufolastat (18F), negative for M1 disease by conventional imaging (CI).

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study.

2. Participants must be adults ≥18 years of age at the time of informed consent.

3. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 at screening.

4. Participants must have a life expectancy ≥24 months as determined by the Investigator
at screening.

5. Histologically confirmed prostate cancer prior to randomization.

6. Participants must have biochemically recurrent disease after definitive treatment to
prostate by RP, (alone or with post-operative radiation to prostate bed/pelvic nodes)
or XRT, (prostate alone or prostate with seminal vesicle and/or pelvic nodes) and/or
brachytherapy prior to randomization. Biochemical recurrence is defined as: nadir PSA
+ 2 ng/mL post XRT (if participant received-radiation therapy to intact prostate) and
PSA > 0.2 ng/mL and rising post RP (with or without post-operation RT).

7. Participants must have OMPC with ≤5 PSMA-positive metastatic lesions on screening PSMA
PET/CT scan (with either gallium (68Ga) gozetotide or piflufolastat (18F)) as visually
assessed by BIRC based on the methodology proposed in the Prostate Cancer Molecular
Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE) (Eiber et al 2018); for further details,
please refer to Section 8.1 and Imaging Manual. Metastatic lesions may include
regional/pelvic lymph nodes (N1), distant lymph nodes (M1a), bone (M1b), lung and
others visceral (M1c) except liver and brain classified using AJCC 8. When counting
the number of oligometastatic lesions, each lesion is counted as distinct metastasis
irrespective of its anatomical location (e.g., one pelvic and one extra-pelvic lymph
node will be counted as two metastatic lesions).

8. At least 1 PSMA-positive lesion should be a distant metastasis (M1) per AJCC8
classification at screening. For AJCC M staging, PSMA PET information should be used.

9. Participants must have a negative conventional imaging for M1 disease at screening.

Note:  
- For a participant not to be eligible, CI positive M1 lesions should be
unequivocal in CI scans, i.e., potentially not attributable to findings thought
to represent something other than tumor (e.g., degenerative, or post-traumatic
changes or Paget's disease in bone lesions);

- Prior knowledge of PSMA PET positivity should not influence the radiologist
(reader) in determination of CI positivity. Two different readers will be
involved, one reader for PSMA PET scan and one reader for CI: Reader will be
blinded to PSMA PET scan results while reading CI scans. Readers should not
modify their assessment of CI scans (e.g. changing a lesion previously identified
as equivocal in CI to unequivocal) after reading the PSMA PET scan. Similarly,
biopsy positivity should not influence the reader in the assessment of CI
positivity. More details on the reading paradigm will be provided in the imaging
charter;

- MRI for radiation treatment planning may show M1 disease but this will not
exclude the participant from the study if the lesion is deemed negative per
baseline CT or bone scans;

- Participants with pelvic disease (N1) seen in conventional imaging are allowed if
the local spread is below common iliac bifurcation (per AJCC 8 definition of
local disease);

- Distant lymph node disease (M1a) that is visible per CI and less than 10mm in the
short axis are not exclusionary irrespective of PSMA PET positivity.

10. All metastatic lesions detected at screening should be amenable to SBRT.

11. If participants previously received SBRT for OMPC, progressive disease must be
demonstrated prior to randomization (e.g., a new PSMA PET lesion). Previously treated
lesions must be stable in baseline imaging scans and will not be counted towards 1-5
lesions required in this study. If a previously treated lesion was unequivocal for M1
by bone scan or CT before the previous SBRT, the participant is not eligible.

12. Confirmation of Controlled primary tumor at screening: If local recurrence is
suspected, MRI is required to rule out local relapse. Participants with MRI or PET
positive local lesions require biopsy to rule out local progression. These locally
recurrent participants (with biopsy proven local disease or with MRI or PET positive
local lesions without biopsy) may be eligible for the study after salvage therapy to
local disease. Note: Participants who previously undergone pelvic RT (salvage pelvic
RT) at local recurrence after RP are allowed in the study.

13. PSADT <10 months at screening [PSADT will be calculated using a linear regression
model of the normal logarithm of PSA and time (Pound et al 1999)].

14. Non-castration testosterone level >100 ng/dL at screening..

15. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants at screening and during the
study who are healthy and have a low risk of acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS)-related outcomes can participate in this trial..

16. Participants must have adequate organ functions including the following laboratory
values at the screening visit:

Bone marrow reserve

- ANC ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L;

- Platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L;

- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL.

Hepatic

3. Prior therapy with:

1. ADT including bilateral orchiectomy;

- Participants who had XRT or RP and completed adjuvant ADT (or ADT+ Androgen
Receptor Pathway Inhibitor (ARPI)) prior to recurrence are eligible to
participate if the last dose of ADT (or ADT+ARPI) was before 12 months from
randomization;

- Participants who discontinued ADT due to disease progression are not allowed
(i.e., CRPC participants).

2. Other hormonal therapy; e.g.:

- Use of estrogens, 5-? reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride), other
steroidogenesis inhibitors (aminoglutethamide);

ketoconazole). Short term ketoconazole treatment (< 28 days) is permitted.

3. Radiopharmaceutical agents (e.g., Strontium-89, PSMA-targeted radioligand
therapy).

4. Immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T).

5. Chemotherapy, except if administered in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting
completed > 12 months before randomization.

expectancy or may interfere with disease assessment. However, participants with a
prior history of malignancy that has been adequately treated and who have been
disease/treatment free for more than 3 years are eligible, as are participants with
adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder cancer.

12. Concurrent serious (as determined by the Investigator) medical conditions, including,
but not limited to, uncontrolled infection, known active hepatitis B or C, or other
significant co-morbid conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would impair
study participation or cooperation. Participants with an active documented COVID-19
