Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that shows up on a PSMA PET scan. The cancer must have grown while they were on an ARPI as their last treatment.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- Men only
- Disease stage
- Prostate adenocarcinoma that has spread (metastatic) and keeps growing despite hormone treatment (castration-resistant). It must be PSMA-PET positive. Growth is shown by rising PSA or at least 2 new bone lesions.
- Earlier treatment
- The last treatment must have been an ARPI, with growth on it and no growth on more than one ARPI. Taxane chemotherapy is allowed only if given for hormone-sensitive disease. Taxane chemotherapy for castration-resistant disease is not allowed.
- Biomarker or test result
- PSMA-PET positive disease. People with changes in HRR genes can join if they had a PARP inhibitor before. PSA must be at least 2.0 ng/mL, or 1.0 ng/mL if rising PSA is the only sign of growth.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Mixed tumour type with a neuroendocrine part
- Earlier treatment with radiopharmaceuticals such as [177Lu]Lu-PSMA, [177Lu]-DOTA or Radium-223
- Earlier taxane chemotherapy for castration-resistant disease
- Recent external beam radiotherapy, including hemi-body radiation
- Other anti-cancer or investigational treatment shortly before randomization
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 11 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study
- Participants must be adults ≥18 years of age
- Participants must have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
- Participants with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, as per local testing, may be enrolled if they had prior exposure to PARPi. Note: A participant’s candidacy for PARPi is per the investigator’s discretion
- Participants must have histological, and/or cytological confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Participants with mixed histology (neuroendocrine) are not eligible
- Participants who have received taxane-based chemotherapy in the mHSPC setting are eligible if they are deemed appropriate for chemotherapy or ARPI change or AAA617 as the next line of therapy in the opinion of the Investigator. Note: Participants who have received taxane-based chemotherapy for mCRPC are excluded
- Participants must have PSMA-PET positive disease using a PSMA imaging agent allowed as per protocol and are eligible XX
- Participant must have been diagnosed with mCRPC with documented progressive disease while on treatment with ARPI in mHSPC or earlier setting as their last treatment (and did not progress on more than one ARPI), based on at least 1 of the following criteria: . Serum/plasma PSA progression is defined as 2 increases in PSA measured at least 1 week apart. The minimal start value is 2.0 ng/mL; 1.0 ng/mL is the minimal starting value if confirmed rise in PSA is the only indication of progression as per PCWG3 guidelines. . . Progression of bone disease: 2 new lesions; only positivity on the bone scan defines metastatic disease to bone XX
Who cannot take part
- Previous anti-cancer treatment with any approved or investigational radiopharmaceuticals (for example, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA, [177Lu]-DOTA, or Radium-223
- Previous treatment with any external beam radiotherapy including hemi-body radiation within XX weeks of randomization (within XXweeks for radiotherapy of localized metastases)
- Any approved or investigational agents/systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. other concurrent chemotherapy, investigational therapy, immunotherapy or biological therapy including monoclonal antibodies) within XX days (or 5 times the half-life of that therapy whichever is shorter) prior to the day of randomization. Note: Prior ARPIs are allowed to continue until first dose of study treatment (C1D1) is initiated

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
To determine whether treatment with AAA817+ARPI change prolongs radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) XX in participants with PSMA-positive mCRPC, treated with another ARPI as last treatment as compared to participants treated with investigator’s choice of standard of care (SoC).
