Study Description

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.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer	Drug: Lu-PSMA; Drug: Enzalutamide	Phase 2

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).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 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 :

1. Radiographic Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 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.
2. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response rate [ Time Frame: 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.
3. Pain response and Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 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.

4. Clinical Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 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.
5. Aspects of Health-related Quality of life (HRQL) [ Time Frame: 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.
6. Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 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.

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment. ]
   Overall survival is defined as the interval from date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause, or the date of last known follow-up alive.
2. Resource Use and Incremental Cost-effectiveness [ Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment. ]
   Information on health-care resource use will be combined with information on overall survival and quality of life to estimate the value associated with the addition of Lu-PSMA to enzalutamide in terms of the cost per Quality adjusted life year (QALY).
3. Association between Clinical Outcomes and Imaging Analyses at Baseline and During Treatment [ Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment. ]
   A variety of methods to develop, validate and compare predictive and prognostic biomarkers for both enzalutamide treatment and enzalutamide and Lu-PSMA therapy. These include but are not limited to analyses of: 1. associations of screening whole body quantitative parameters on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and 18F FDG PET/CT; 2. association between the change on whole body quantitative PET parameters; 3. using the 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT at Day 92, assessment of quantitative whole body PET findings will help determine the proportion of men with persistent PSMA avid disease volume in those undergoing either enzalutamide or enzalutamide and Lu-PSMA treatments; 4. a visual scoring system for both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and 18F FDG PET/ CT to evaluate and validate its use in treatment response; 5. QTBI (Quantitative total body imaging) heterogeneity assessment.
4. Association between Clinical Outcomes and Possible Prognostic/Predictive Biomarkers (tissue and circulating) including CTCs and ctDNA [ Time Frame: Through to study completion, approximately 4 years from recruitment. ]
   Translational research will include identifying tissue and circulating biomarkers that are prognostic and/or predictive of response to treatment, safety and resistance to study treatment (associations of biomarkers with clinical outcomes). These include, but are not limited to analyses of: 1. Liquid biopsies: Liquid biopsies will be collected at molecular imaging time points including at baseline, Day 92 and at first progression; 2. CTC: CTCs may be enumerated and analysed at the above time points for a variety of biomarkers.
