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 advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. Their disease must be stable after 2 cycles of Pluvicto®, and they get benfo-oxythiamine added to it.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- Men only
- Disease stage
- Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with prostate adenocarcinoma, PSMA-positive on PSMA-PET/CT. Stable disease on CT after the first 2 Pluvicto® cycles, with at least 1 measurable metastatic lesion.
- Earlier treatment
- Must have had androgen receptor pathway inhibitor treatment and taxane-based chemotherapy. Must have completed the first 2 cycles of standard Pluvicto® and be able to continue it.
- Biomarker or test result
- PSMA-positive disease on PSMA-PET/CT. Castrate testosterone below 50 ng/dL, or ongoing androgen deprivation therapy, or earlier removal of both testicles.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Disease shrank completely or partly, or got worse, on CT after the first 2 Pluvicto® cycles
- Other cancer treatment during the trial, apart from allowed hormone and bone-supportive therapy
- Symptomatic or untreated spinal cord compression, or brain or leptomeningeal metastases
- Another cancer in the last 2 years, other than skin basal-cell or squamous cell cancer
- Abnormal heart tracing (QTcF above 470 ms) or past Torsade de Pointes

Who can take part
- Is willing and able to read, understand and provide informed consent
- Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
- Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months, as evaluated by the Investigator
- Is at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
- Has a documented histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Has a diagnosis of mCRPC with castrate serum testosterone <50 ng/dL (<1.7 nmol/L) and/or use of concomitant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues or antagonists, or prior bilateral orchiectomy
- Has a PSMA-positive disease confirmed on PSMA-PET/CT prior to trial entry, consistent with the approved use of Pluvicto® and local SOC procedures
- Has received prior androgen receptor pathway inhibition (ARPi) and taxane-based chemotherapy, consistent with the approved use of Pluvicto®
- Has completed the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy and, in the opinion of the Investigator, remains clinically eligible for continuation of additional SOC Pluvicto® cycles
- Has stable disease according to RECIST 1.1 on contrast-enhanced, high-resolution CT performed as SOC after completion of the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy, compared with SOC pre-treatment contrast-enhanced, high-resolution CT
- Has at least 1 metastatic lesion (measurable per RECIST 1.1) documented on contrast-enhanced high-resolution CT scan performed as SOC after completion of the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy
Who cannot take part
- Is receiving concomitant anticancer therapy other than the trial interventions. This includes but is not limited to chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy. ARPis, ADTs, bisphosphonates and other supportive non-cancer directed therapies for bone conditions that started before trial entry may be continued. Palliative radiotherapy for bone pain is allowed provided it doesn’t include measurable lesions within the radiation field
- Has received an investigational medicinal product or investigational medical device within 4 weeks or within 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before the first B-OT dose
- Has symptomatic or untreated/unstable cord compression, central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases. Subjects with current or history of CNS or leptomeningeal metastases during screening may be eligible if they have received brain directed therapy and have stable brain metastases on imaging performed within 4 weeks of starting B‑OT treatment and have no neurological symptoms; and are not receiving steroid or anticonvulsant therapy for brain metastases
- Has a radiographic CR, PR, or progressive disease according to RECIST 1.1 on contrast-enhanced, high-resolution CT performed as SOC after completion of the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy, compared with SOC pre-treatment contrast-enhanced, high-resolution CT
- Has a PSMA-PET progressive disease not requiring confirmation according to PCWG4-adapted progression criteria, defined as ≥ 6 new PSMA-avid bone, nodal, or pulmonary lesions, or any single new PSMA-avid liver or other non-pulmonary visceral lesion representing disease after completion of the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy, compared with SOC pre-treatment PSMA-PET
- Has persistent toxicities of at least grade 2 (CTCAE v6.0) considered related to previous cancer therapy (including the first 2 cycles of SOC Pluvicto® therapy), excluding alopecia and other stable grade 2 toxicities considered acceptable by the Investigator
- Has a history of other malignancies within the previous 2 years of starting B-OT treatment, other than basal-cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin
- Is unable to swallow orally administered medications or has gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with the absorption of the trial medication
- Has known hypersensitivity to B-OT or any of the excipients of B-OT
- Has clinically significant abnormal ECG findings, including average corrected QT interval using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) > 470 ms, or a history of Torsade de Pointes
- Has received a transfusion or growth factor support administered solely for the purpose of meeting eligibility laboratory thresholds, if performed up to 4 weeks before the first B-OT dose

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Phase Ib : To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of B-OT as add-on to SOC lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan therapy (Pluvicto®) in adults with stable disease after two prior cycles of SOC Pluvicto®To identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of B-OT as add-on to SOC Pluvicto® Phase IIa : To evaluate the efficacy of B-OT at its RP2D as an add-on to SOC Pluvicto®
