the present study aims to compare patients who receive the investigational product (177lu-dota-rosopatamab) plus standard of care, in comparison to standard of care only

Conditions: Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Summary: this multinational, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label phase 3 study is designed to investigate and confirm the benefits and risks associated with the psma-targeted antibody, 177lu dota rosopatamab administered together with standard of care (soc), as compared to the best soc alone. the phase 3 will be conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant pc (mcrpc) that expresses psma and has progressed despite prior treatment with a novel androgen axis drug (naad).

this multinational, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label phase 3 study is designed to investigate and confirm the benefits and risks associated with 177lu dota rosopatamab administered together with soc, as compared to the best soc alone, in patients with psma-positive, metastatic castration-resistant pc (mcrpc) that has progressed despite prior treatment with a novel androgen axis drug (naad). psma positivity will be defined by gallium-68 labeled psma-11 (68ga-psma-11) positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (pet/ct) as at least one site of metastatic disease with intensity significantly greater than normal liver (i.e., standardized uptake value \[suv\] max at least 1.5 times suv of normal liver. approximately 392 eligible adult male will be part of this study. 387 patients will be randomized to one of two groups in a 2:1 ratio to receive one of the treatments below. 5 participants in new zealand will be enrolled into a sub-study. * group a: two single intravenous (iv) injections of 76 mci each (equivalent to a 45 mci/m2 dose in a standard 1.7m2 individual) of 177lu-dota- rosopatamab, given 14 days apart, plus best soc * group b: best soc. in parallel to this, 5 participants in new zealand site, will be enrolled into a sub-study to investigate the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of 177lu-dota-tlx591(m17). participants will receive two doses of 177lu-dota-tlx591(m17), 14 days apart. screening procedures will take up to 28 days prior to enrollment and randomization. only patients with psma-positive metastatic pc and meeting all other inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to group a or b or allocated to sub-study in new zealand. participants in group a or b will participate in the study for up to 5 years. during this period the participants will undergo imaging procedures approximately every 6-8 weeks until progression. participants in the sub-study will participate in the study up to 23 days. during this period participants will receive two doses of 177lu-dota-tlx591(m17), 14 days apart, and undergo spect/ct imaging and blood collection for pharmacokinetics at days 1,2,5,8, 13 and 15. for all patients, the best soc will be determined by the principal investigator (pi) and the medication will be provided until progression.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. be a male, at least 18 years old, with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate defined by histological / pathological confirmation of pc. 2. be of ecog performance status 0, 1, or 2 and have an estimated life expectancy of ≥6 months. 3. have metastatic disease (≥1 metastatic lesions present on baseline ct, mri, or bone scan imaging). 4. have castration-resistant pc (defined as disease progressing despite castration by orchiectomy or ongoing use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[lhrh\]) and must have a castrate level of serum/plasma testosterone (\<50 ng/dl or \<1.7 nmol/l). 5. in the mcrpc setting, must have received a minimum of 12 weeks of prior therapy with a naad, either enzalutamide or abiraterone plus prednisone. 6. should have received one line of prior taxane therapy or have refused or be ineligible for taxanes 7. have a disease that is progressing at study entry, despite a castrate testosterone level (\<50 ng/dl or \<1.7 nmol/l), by the demonstration of at least one of the following: 1. rising psa values done in sequence at least 1 week apart and with a minimal starting value of 2.0 ng/ml. 2. progressive disease or new lesion(s) in the viscera or lymph nodes as per recist1.1 or in bone as per prostate cancer working group 3 \[pcwg3; scher et al., 2016\]). any ambiguous results are to be confirmed by other imaging modality (e.g., ct or mri scan). 8. have disease that is psma positive, as demonstrated by a 68ga-psma11 pet/ct scan and confirmed as eligible by the sponsor's central reader (patient must have at least one site of metastatic disease with suvmax ≥1.5 times the suv of normal liver). if the disease meets the criteria for psma positivity, but there is one or more soft tissue lesion of ≥ 2 cm that is not psma positive, then the patient is to be excluded on the grounds that there is substantial disease which might not respond to the therapy. 9. must have recovered to ≤ grade 2 from all clinically significant toxicities related to prior therapies (i.e., surgery, local radiotherapy, naad, chemotherapy, etc.). 10. can be receiving a bisphosphonate or denosumab regimen provided that the patient has been receiving and tolerating this treatment for ≥30 days prior to randomization. 11. have adequate organ function at screening: a. bone marrow: i. platelets ≥150×109/l. ii. absolute neutrophil count \>1.5×109/l. iii. hemoglobin ≥10g/dl (no red blood cell transfusion in the previous 4 weeks). b. liver function: i. total bilirubin \< 1.5×the upper limit of normal (uln). for patients with known gilbert's syndrome \<3×uln is permitted. ii. alanine aminotransferase (alt) or aspartate aminotransferase (ast) \<3×uln or \<5×uln for patients with liver metastases. c. renal function: i. serum/plasma creatinine \<1.5×uln or creatinine clearance ≥50 ml/min determined using the cockcroft \& gault formula. 12. have the capacity to understand the study and be able and willing to comply with all protocol requirements. 13. patients must comply with the radiation protection rules (including hospital admissions and isolation) that are used by the treating institution in order to protect their contacts and the general public, especially if a female partner of the patient is or could be pregnant. 14. must agree to practice adequate precautions to prevent pregnancy in a partner and to avoid potential problems associated with radiation exposure to the unborn child (refer to clinical trials facilitation group, 2020: recommendations related to contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials version 1.1, ctfg, 2020). exclusion criteria: 1. are unable to understand or are unwilling to sign a written informed consent document or to follow investigational procedures in the opinion of the investigator. 2. have pc associated with pathological findings consistent with small cell or any histology other than adenocarcinoma of the prostate. if there are minor elements of neuroendocrine histology, this is acceptable. 3. uncontrolled pain. 4. diagnosed with other malignancies that are expected to alter life expectancy or may interfere with disease assessment. however, patients with a prior history of malignancy that has been adequately treated and who have been disease-free for more than 3 years are eligible, as are patients with adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder cancer. 5. are at increased risk of hemorrhage or bleeding, or with a recent history of a thrombolytic event (e.g., deep vein thrombosis \[dvt\]/ pulmonary embolism \[pe\]) and have been administered long-term anti-coagulant or anti-platelet agents. 6. have received prior treatment with monoclonal antibody (mab) j591 or huj591 or any other psma targeted therapy. 7. have known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the investigational drug or its excipients. 8. have received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or biological therapy) and/or radiation therapy within 4 weeks of randomization or if any significant aes have not resolved to national cancer institute (nci) ae criteria ≤2;
