177Lu-PSMA-617 and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Prostate Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial

Official title: Immunogenic Priming With PSMA-Targeted Radioligand Therapy in Advanced Prostate Cancer: A Phase 1b Study of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in Combination With Pembrolizumab

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase Ib trial studies the dose and schedule of 177Lu-PSMA-617 and pembrolizumab in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. 177Lu-PSMA-617 carries a radioactive component which attached to the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor found on tumor cells. Its radiation component destroys the tumor cell. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving 177Lu-PSMA-617 and pembrolizumab may work better at treating prostate cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

1. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose and schedule of lutetium Lu 177-PSMA-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPC). (Part A)

2. To determine the objective response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. (Part B (Dose Expansion))

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

1. To characterize the safety profile of the combination.

2. To determine the median duration of response by RECIST 1.1 criteria.

3. To determine the proportion of patients who experience >= 50% decline from baseline in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

4. To determine the median PSA progression-free survival.

5. To determine the median time to symptomatic skeletal related event.

6. To determine the 6 month radiographic progression-free survival rate and median radiographic progression-free survival.

7. To determine the median overall survival.

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

1. To assess the lesion-specific response rate by baseline PSMA avidity on gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11) positron emission tomography (PET).

2. To quantify the change from baseline in T cell repertoire, circulating T cell subsets, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and tumor programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression by immunohistochemistry after one priming dose of Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT).

3. To explore the relationship between timing of the 177Lu-PSMA-617 priming dose with initiation of pembrolizumab with respect to immunologic, safety, and efficacy outcomes.

4. To descriptively characterize the patterns of uptake on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET at the time of disease progression.

5. To explore relationship between tumor genomic profile with clinical outcomes including response rate and progression-free survival.

6. To explore the relationship between tumor dosimetry with objective response.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned sequentially to 1 of 3 treatment schedules.

SCHEDULE 1: Patients receive lutetium Lu 177-PSMA-617 intravenously (IV) over 20-30 minutes on day 1. Beginning in cycle 2, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1.

SCHEDULE 2: Patients receive lutetium Lu 177-PSMA-617 IV over 20-30 minutes and pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1.

SCHEDULE 3: Starting day -21, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes. Patients also receive lutetium Lu 177-PSMA-617 IV over 20-30 minutes on day 1.

In all schedules, treatment with pembrolizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 35 cycles (2 years) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve stable disease (SD) or better may receive 17 additional cycles (approximately 1 year) of pembrolizumab.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 and 90 days. ;
