Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this investigator-initiated, single-center, and randomized phase II trial is to investigate the potential synergistic effect of combining stereotactic body radiotherapy of a single soft tissue- or bone metastasis with ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with mCRPC and perform translational analyses on tissue and blood, searching for predictive biomarkers of efficacy and toxicity.
Participants will be randomized to receive ipilimumab and nivolumab with or without stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
Detailed Description
The participants receive treatment for 52 weeks, including four cycles of ipilimumab and nivolumab with or without concomitant SBRT (24 Gray in three fractions) to a single soft tissue or bone metastasis, followed by 10 cycles of nivolumab. Participants are followed until progression, death, or for 12 months after the end of treatment. Biopsies from metastatic sites are collected at baseline, before the third treatment, and at the end of treatment. Blood sampling for immune monitoring and circulating tumor DNA is performed consecutively at baseline and every radiographic assessment.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Have a signed Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)-approved informed consent form prior to any study-specific evaluation. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, lab testing and other requirements of the study.
- •Male ≥18 years of age at the time consent form is signed
- •Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma of the prostate (pure small-cell histology or pure high-grade neuroendocrine histology are excluded; neuroendocrine differentiation is allowed)
- •If possible, metastases accessible for image-guided percutaneous biopsy should be performed, if considered safe assessed by the PI.
- •Surgically or medically castrated, with serum testosterone levels \<50 ng/dL (1.73 nM). For patients currently being treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists (i.e., patients who have not undergone an orchiectomy) therapy must be continued throughout the study
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
- •Life expectancy greater than 3 months
- •Evidence of disease progression after prior therapy for mCRPC:
- •Disease progression after treatment with 1 androgen-receptor (AR) targeted therapies (abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide or investigational AR-targeted drug) for castrate-resistant disease AND
- •Disease progression after treatment with 1 line of taxane-based chemotherapy for castration resistant disease. Prior taxane therapy administered for hormone sensitive disease is permitted and is not counted toward this limit.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Active malignancy, with the exception of curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ, or superficial bladder cancer
- •Patients with a history of malignancy that has been completely treated, and currently with no evidence of that cancer, are permitted to be enrolled in the trial provided all chemotherapy was completed \> 6 months prior and/or bone marrow transplant \> 2years prior to first dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab
- •Prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD1), anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1), anti-CD137 or anti-CTLA4 antibody or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways.
- •Symptomatic and/or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Patients with asymptomatic, previously treated CNS metastases are eligible provided they have been clinically stable (i.e., not requiring steroids for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab and have had appropriate scans screening assessments)
- •Symptomatic or impending spinal cord compression unless appropriately treated, clinically stable and asymptomatic
- •If patient have an active known or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects are permitted to enroll if they have vitiligo, type 1 diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger
- •Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness or history of chronic hepatitis B or C
- •Received treatment with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy (with the exception of LHRH analog), radiation, antibody therapy or immunotherapy, gene therapy, vaccine therapy, angiogenesis inhibitors or experimental drugs within 4 weeks prior to first dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab
- •Adverse effect of prior therapy not resolved to CTCAE Grade 1 or below with the exception of alopecia. Ongoing Grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity related to most recent treatment regimen may be permitted with prior advanced approval from the sponsor
- •Initiated denosumab or bisphosphonate therapy or adjusted denosumab or bisphosphonate dose/regimen within 4 weeks prior to first dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab. Patients on stable denosumab or bisphosphonate regimen are eligible and may continue treatment
