Abstract CT014: Phase I dose-escalation study of fractionated dose 225Ac J591 for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (2023)

Abstract Background: PSMA-based targeted radionuclide therapy is now a standard of care for mCRPC since approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617. Use of antibodies (e.g., J591) to target PSMA with higher potency radionuclides (e.g., 225Ac) impacts kinetics, biodistribution, clinical efficacy, and toxicities. In our first-in-human ph I dose-escalation study of single dose 225Ac-J591 in patients with mCRPC, no MTD was reached (max dose 93.3 KBq/kg). Following this, we developed ph I/II parallel dose-escalation studies of fractionated (D1, D15) single cycle and multiple (q6w) dose regimens. Here we present safety data from the initial fractionated study in predominantly 177Lu-naive. Methods: Eligible patients had adequate organ function, ECOG performance status 0-2, and progressive mCRPC following potent AR pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and chemo (or unfit/refusing). Prior 177Lu-PSMA was allowed until an amendment developed a separate study for post-177Lu-PSMA. Baseline 68Ga-PSMA PET scans were performed, but not used to determine eligibility. A 3+3 dose-escalation design was used. Phase I primary objective: determination of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D). DLT was defined as within 8 weeks of first dose: neutropenia (Gr 4 or febrile neutropenia), thrombocytopenia (TCP) (Gr 4, or Gr 3 with clinically significant bleeding), any Gr &amp;gt;2 non-hematologic toxicity deemed to be at least possibly related to 225Ac-J591, or any attributable toxicity precluding or delaying the second dose by &amp;gt;2 weeks. Secondary/exploratory objectives: efficacy measures (e.g., PSA decline, radiographic RR, biochemical/radiographic PFS, OS, CTCs, patient reported outcomes), safety (CTCAE v5), and correlatives (plasma and tissue genomics, PSMA imaging). Results: 24 patients were enrolled in phase I. Median age 73.5 (57-91), PSA 25.78 (3.39-2133.41); 53% (n=13) &amp;gt;1 prior ARPI, 58% (n=14) taxane chemo, 8% (n=2) anti-PSMA therapy, 12.5% (n=3) prior 223Ra. CALGB prognostic groups: Good 4 (16%), Intermediate 8 (33%), Poor 12 (50%). No DLTs were observed in Cohort 1 (n=3) or 2 (n=6). In C3, 2/6 subjects experienced DLTs (Gr 3 weakness, Gr 2 TCP with &amp;gt;2 week delay in second fraction). 8 patients were enrolled in an intermediate dose cohort (2.5) with 1 DLT (Gr 4 TCP). Two patients withdrew before the second dose (intercurrent illness; interruption of 225Ac supply). Most common low gr non-hematologic treatment emergent AEs: fatigue (95%), xerostomia (69%), and nausea (57%). Among evaluable patients for PSA change (n=22), 21 (95%) experienced PSA decline with 14 (67%) with decline of 50% and 6 (37%) with decline of 90%. 13/21 patients had CTCs samples collected at baseline and 12 wks; 5 were unfavorable at baseline (≥5/7.5 mL); 10/13 (77%) remained favorable or converted from unfavorable to favorable; 6/12 (50%) had 50% decline in CTC count; and 5/13 (38%) converted from detectable to undetectable. Conclusions: A single fractionated cycle of 225Ac-J591 was delivered with few high grade AEs and with evidence of preliminary efficacy by PSA and CTC changes across all dose levels.
