Phase I Study of 225Ac-J591 Plus 177Lu-PSMA Small Molecule for Progressive Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
What this study is about
This is a phase I gradually increasing doses study of 225Ac-J591 administered together with 177Lu-PSMA small molecule. Both drugs are designed to deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells; they are known as radionuclide conjugates (radiation linked to antibodies/molecules that recognize prostate cancer cells).
View original scientific description
This is a phase I dose-escalation study of 225Ac-J591 administered together with 177Lu-PSMA small molecule. Both drugs are designed to deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells; they are known as radionuclide conjugates (radiation linked to antibodies/molecules that recognize prostate cancer cells). This phase of the study (phase I) will determine the highest dose of the study intervention that can be safely given.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of prostate
- Documented progressive metastatic CRPC based on Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria, which includes at least one of the following criteria: PSA progression, Objective radiographic progression in soft tissue, New bone lesions
- ECOG performance status of 0-2
- Have serum testosterone \< 50 ng/dL. Subjects must continue primary androgen deprivation with an LHRH/GnRH analogue (agonist/antagonist) if they have not undergone bilateral orchiectomy
- Have previously been treated with at least one of the following: Androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (such as enzalutamide), CYP 17 inhibitor (such as abiraterone acetate)
- Have previously received taxane chemotherapy, been determined to be ineligible for taxane chemotherapy by their physician or refused taxane chemotherapy
- Age \> 18 years
- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below: Absolute neutrophil count: \>2,000 cells/mm3, Hemoglobin: ≥9 g/dL, Platelet count: \>150,000 x 109/uL, Serum creatinine: \<1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 by Cockcroft-Gault, Serum total bilirubin: \<1.5 x ULN (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome in which case direct bilirubin must be normal), Serum AST and ALT: \<1.5 x ULN in the absence of liver metastases; \<3 x ULN if due to liver metastases (in both circumstances bilirubin must meet entry criteria)
- Ability to understand, and the willingness to sign, a written informed consent document
Exclusion criteria
- Implantation of investigational medical device ≤4 weeks of Treatment visit #1 (Day 1) or current enrollment in oncologic investigational drug or device study
- Use of investigational drugs ≤4 weeks or \<5 half-lives of Treatment visit # 1(Day 1) or current enrollment in investigational oncology drug or device study
- Prior systemic beta-emitting bone-seeking radioisotopes. Prior radium-223 is allowed provided at least 90 days have lapsed since last dose
- For the prior PSMA-TRT-naive cohort, prior PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy is not allowed (prior PSMA-targeted isotopes used for imaging/diagnostic purposes are allowed, as is prior PSMA-targeted therapy that does not involve therapeutic radionuclides); For the 177Lu-PSMA small molecule exposed cohort, no dose limiting toxicity may have been observed during/after therapy with prior treatment and all other entry criteria must be met
- Known active brain or leptomeningeal metastases
- History of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolus within 1 month of Treatment visit #1
- Other serious illness(es) involving the cardiac, respiratory, CNS, renal, hepatic or hematological organ systems which might preclude completion of this study or interfere with determination of causality of any adverse effects experienced in this study
- Radiation therapy for treatment of PC ≤4 weeks of Treatment visit #1
- Patients on stable dose of bisphosphonates or denosumab, which have been started no less than 4 weeks prior to treatment start, may continue on this medication, however patients are not allowed to initiate bisphosphonate/Denosumab therapy during the DLT-assessment period of the study
- Having partners of childbearing potential and not willing to use a method of birth control deemed acceptable by the principle investigator and chairperson during the study and for at least 140 days after last study drug administration
- Currently active other malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Patients are considered not to have "currently active" malignancy if they have completed any necessary therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse
- Known history of myelodysplastic syndrome
- Bone scan with confluent lesions and lack of urinary tracer consistent with a "superscan" as determined by the investigator
- Prior exposure to PARP inhibitor \> 2 weeks
Where
- Brooklyn, New York
- New York, New York
Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
