About This Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma Study in Bakersfield

This randomized phase III trial examines whether lengthening the dosage interval in an adaptive manner for the prostate cancer drug lutetium 177 Lu PSMA RLT improves quality of life without decreasing lifespan when compared to the standard way this medication is given. This study is for patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body. Hormone resistant prostate cancer often has many cells containing a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on their surface. The normal cells in the prostate do not normally express as much PSMA protein on their surface as cancer cells. Lutetium 177 Lu PSMA RLT binds to the PSMA protein on the tumor cells. It builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. Typically, this medication is given at the same dose every 6 weeks for up to 6 doses. In this trial, researchers want to see if treatment following the first two doses of lutetium 177 Lu PSMA RLT can be delayed until there is evidence of disease activity. This may be an effective way to improve quality of life without decreasing lifespan in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have histological, pathological, and/or cytological confirmation of prostate adenocarcinoma

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have a positive PSMA PET/CT scan (either gallium Ga 68 gozetotide \[68Ga-PSMA-11\], fluorine F 18 piflufolastat \[18F- DCFPyl\], or fluorine F 18 flotufolastat gallium \[18F-rhPSMA-7.3\]), as defined as uptake greater than liver with no PSMA negative measurable soft tissue disease

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): PSA greater than 2.0 ng/mL

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have progressive mCRPC. Documented progressive mCRPC will be based on at least 1 of the following criteria:

Serum PSA progression defined as 2 consecutive increases in PSA over a previous reference value measured at least 1 week prior. The minimal start value is 2.0 ng/mL

Soft-tissue progression defined as an increase ≥ 20% in the sum of the diameter (SOD) (short axis for nodal lesions and long axis for non-nodal lesions) of all target lesions based on the smallest SOD since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions

Progression of bone disease: evaluable disease or new bone lesions(s) by bone scan (2+2 Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 \[PCWG3\] criteria, Scher et al 2016)

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have prior orchiectomy and/or ongoing androgen-deprivation therapy and a castrate level of serum testosterone (\< 50 ng/dL or \< 1.7 nmol/L)

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have received at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) (to include either apalutamide, darolutamide, enzalutamide, or abiraterone) \

ARPI must be stopped at least 4 weeks prior to pre-registration

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must not have previously received a taxane based chemotherapy regimen for mCRPC. Prior docetaxel for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate carcinoma (mHSPC) or in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is permitted if completed at least 12 months prior to pre-registration

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients must have recovered to ≤ grade 2 from all clinically significant toxicities related to prior therapies (i.e. prior chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, etc.)

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients on a stable bisphosphonate or denosumab regimen for ≥ 30 days prior to pre-registration are eligible

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Previous treatment with strontium Sr-89 (strontium-89), samarium Sm-153 (samarium-153), rhenium Re 186 (rhenium-186), rhenium Re 188 (rhenium-188), radium Ra 223 (radium-223) or hemi-body irradiation within 6 months prior to pre-registration is not allowed. Previous PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy is not allowed

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Any systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. chemotherapy, immunotherapy or biological therapy \[including monoclonal antibodies\]) within 28 days prior to pre-registration is not allowed

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Age ≥ 18 years

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 2

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm\^3

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm\^3

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or \< 3 x ULN in patients with Gilbert's syndrome

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): No acute biliary or urinary obstruction

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients with treated/stable brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression \

Patients with a history of CNS metastases must have received therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, gamma knife) and be neurologically stable, asymptomatic, and not receiving corticosteroids for the purposes of maintaining neurologic integrity. Patients with epidural disease, canal disease and prior cord involvement are eligible if those areas have been treated, are stable, and not neurologically impaired. For patients with parenchymal CNS metastasis (or a history of CNS metastasis), baseline and subsequent radiological imaging must include evaluation of the brain (MRI preferred or CT with contrast)

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients with known HIV infection on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months prior to registration are eligible for this trial

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

PRE-REGISTRATION (STEP 0): Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
