Enzalutamide With Lu PSMA-617 Versus Enzalutamide Alone in Men With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

Phase 2

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Lu-PSMA; Drug: Enzalutamide

• Registration Number: NCT04419402
• Lead Sponsor: Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group

Brief Summary

This phase 2 randomised clinical trial will investigate the activity and safety of adding Lu-PSMA to enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) not previously treated with chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

This is an open label, randomised, stratified, 2-arm, multicentre phase 2 clinical trial recruiting 160 participants over 12 months and followed until 150 events occurred (approximately another 18 months). Participants will be randomised to enzalutamide or enzalutamide and Lu-PSMA in a 1:1 ratio. A minimisation approach will be used to minimise chance imbalances across the following stratification factors: study site, volume of disease (\>20 versus ≤20 sites of disease measured on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT), prior treatment with early docetaxel for castration- sensitive disease (yes vs no), and prior treatment with early abiraterone for castration-sensitive disease (yes vs no).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression-Free Survival	Date of randomisation to the date of first evidence of PSA progression - assessed up to study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment.	PSA progression is defined as a rise in PSA by more than or equal to 25% AND more than or equal to 2 ng/mL above the nadir (lowest PSA point). This needs to be confirmed by a repeat PSA performed at least 3 weeks later.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Radiographic Progression-Free Survival	Date of randomisation to the date of first evidence of radiographic progression on imaging. Assessed every 12 weeks through study completion, approximately 4 years from start of recruitment.	Radiographic progression-free survival is defined as the interval from the date of randomisation to the date of first evidence of radiographic progression on imaging, or the date of last known follow-up without progression.
Pain response and Progression-Free Survival	Date of randomisation through study completion, approximately 4 years from start of recruitment	Pain is measured using the McGill-Melzack Present Pain Intensity scale (PPI). Pain Response is defined as a reduction of 2 or more points for participants with a baseline PPI score of 2 or more. Pain progression is defined as and an increase of 1 or more points in the nadir PPI score.; Pain Response is defined as a reduction of 2 or more points for participants with a baseline PPI score of 2 or more.; Pain progression is defined as and an increase of 1 or more points in the nadir PPI score.
Clinical Progression-Free Survival	Date of randomisation to the date of first clinical evidence of disease progression or death from any cause. Assessed up to study completion approximately 4 years from recruitment.	Clinical progression is defined by progression on imaging, development of symptoms attributable to cancer progression, the need for radiotherapy to new metastases or initiation of other anticancer treatment for prostate cancer.
Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events	Through study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment.	The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 will be used to classify and grade the intensity of adverse events during study treatment.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response rate	Date of randomisation through study completion, approximately 4 years from start of recruitment. Early rises in PSA prior to 12 weeks will be disregarded in determining PSA response	PSA response rate is defined as the proportion of participants in each group with a PSA reduction of 50% or more from baseline.
Aspects of Health-related Quality of life (HRQL)	Assessed every 4-6 weeks, through study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment.	The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core quality of life questionnaire includes five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), and a global health and quality-of-life scale to assess HRQL in cancer patients. The Patient DATA form is a simple, multi-item quality of life instrument based on 11-point numeric rating scales for a range of relevant symptoms and functions. It combines cancer specific items from the UBQ-C, GLQ-8 and LASA cancer-specific quality of life instruments. The Fear of Cancer Progression form is a short questionnaire assessing possible future concerns related to the participant's illness.
