Phase 1 study for people with Prostate Cancer

Reproduced exactly, unedited. Written for researchers rather than for patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Parts 1, 2, 5 and 7: Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who are refractory to a novel antiandrogen therapy (abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) and have failed at least 1 (but not more than 2) taxane regimens including for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) (or who are deemed medically unsuitable to be treated with a taxane regimen or have actively refused treatment with a taxane regimen). Note: A taxane regimen is defined as a minimum exposure of 2 cycles of a taxane. Any NHT that has been administered and has been stopped for reasons other than progression will not be counted as an additional line of treatment.

  1. Dose exploration phase: Novel antiandrogen therapy must have been given for treatment of metastatic disease.
  2. Dose-expansion phase: participants must not have had more than 2 NHTs and 2 taxane regimens in any setting, and an additional up to 2 other systemic anti-cancer treatments are allowed (eg, anti-PD1, PARP inhibitors, radioligand therapies, sipuleucel-T, experimental agents) Note: Combinations are considered one systemic anti-cancer treatment.

• Part 3: Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed mCRPC who have received no or 1-2 prior NHTs (abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) given in any disease setting and who are deemed medically unsuitable to be treated with a taxane regimen or have actively refused treatment with a taxane regimen (unless taxane treatment was administered in HSPC setting). 0 1 prior PARP inhibitors or sipuleucel-T treatments are acceptable. Participants who received prior investigational therapy for the treatment of metastatic disease are not eligible.

• Parts 4A, 4B and 7:

  1. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed mCRPC who have received no or 1-2 prior NHTs (given in any disease setting depending on the part), and no or 1 taxane regimen (for HSPC).
  2. Dose-expansion phase: at least 1 prior NHT must have been given; 0-1 prior PARP inhibitors are acceptable.
  3. 4A: Participants planning to receive abiraterone acetate for the first time (participants who received prior abiraterone acetate are not eligible). Participants may have had exposure to up to 2 NHTs with a similar mechanism of action (apalutamide, enzalutamide or darolutamide) in the non-mCRPC and mCRPC setting.

• Dose-expansion phase: up to approximately 10 participants with prior exposure to abiraterone acetate may be enrolled into Part 4A expansion cohort.

  d. 4B: Participants planning to receive enzalutamide for the first time (participants who received prior enzalutamide/apalutamide or daralutamide are not eligible).

• Part 6:

  1. Prior disease progression on 1, and only 1, NHT (either enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) is required. NOTE: Prior progression on or intolerance to abiraterone is not allowed.
  2. No prior treatment with any chemotherapy regimen in the mCRPC setting; ≤ 6 cycles of docetaxel treatment in the mHSPC setting is allowed.
  3. mCRPC with ≥ 1 RECIST v1.1 measurable lesion that is present on baseline computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

• All parts:

• Participants must have undergone bilateral orchiectomy or be on continuous androgen-deprivation therapy with a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist.

• Total serum testosterone ≤ 50 ng/dL or 1.7 nmol/L.

• Evidence of progressive disease, defined as 1 or more Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria:

  1. PSA level ≥ 1 ng/mL that has increased on at least 2 successive occasions at least 1 week apart.
  2. Nodal or visceral progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 with PCGW3 modifications.
  3. Appearance of 2 or more new lesions in bone scan.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1.

• Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.

• Adequate organ function, defined as follows:

  1. Hematological function:

     1. absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1 x 10^9/L (without growth factor support within 7 days from screening assessment).
     2. platelet count ≥ 75 x 10^9/L (without platelet transfusion within 7 days from screening assessment).
     3. hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (90 g/L) (without blood transfusion within 7 days from screening assessment).

  2. Renal function:

     1. estimated glomerular filtration rate based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease calculation ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2.

  3. Hepatic function:

     1. aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (or < 5 x ULN for participants with liver involvement).
     2. total bilirubin (TBL) < 1.5 x ULN (or < 2 x ULN for participants with liver metastases).

  4. Cardiac function:

     1. left ventricular ejection fraction > 50% (2-D transthoracic echocardiogram [ECHO] is the preferred method of evaluation; multi-gated acquisition scan is acceptable if ECHO is not available).
     2. Baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) QTcF ≤ 470 msec (average of triplicate values).

  5. Pulmonary function:

     1. baseline oxygen saturation > 92% on room air at rest and no oxygen supplementation.

Part 3-Retreatment group:

• Deriving benefit from initial treatment with AMG 509 as evidenced by one of the following:

  1. confirmed PSA50 response.
  2. radiographic stable disease/partial response/complete response during 6 cycles of initial treatment with AMG 509 and without progression during the first 6 cycles.

• No discontinuation for toxicity during the initial treatment with 6 cycles of AMG 509.

• Progressive disease as defined in I106 within 12 months of final dose in their initial treatment with 6 cycles (EOT_1).

• Willingness to have a fresh tumor biopsy prior to initiating the additional course of treatment, depending on safety and feasibility as assessed by investigator.
