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-lowering treatment and shows PSMA on scans. It tests a new radioactive treatment, 161Tb-SibuDAB.

Age
Older than 18 years.
Sex
Men only.
Disease stage
Progressive PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. At least 3 measurable tumours on PSMA PET/CT (over 1.5 cm (0.6 in)) with PSMA uptake SUVmax over 20. ECOG performance status 0-1.
Earlier treatment
Must have had an androgen receptor signalling pathway inhibitor and taxane-based chemotherapy, or be unfit for chemotherapy. Must be on 177Lu-PSMA-I&T treatment and have finished its first two cycles. No other PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy before.
Biomarker or test result
PSMA-positive disease on PSMA PET/CT.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • PSMA-negative or PSMA-negative / FDG-positive disease
  • Known intolerance to DOTA, DOTAGA, urea-based analogues or components of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T or 161Tb-SibuDAB
  • Ongoing infection, or a serious infection in the past 4 weeks
  • Chemotherapy in the last 4 weeks, or extensive bone marrow radiotherapy in the last 3 months
  • Another cancer within 5 years, except fully removed non-melanoma skin cancer

The registry criteria, word for word

Who can take part

  • Consent form signed
  • Male patients with age > 18 years
  • Clinical indication for RLT with 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T (progressive PSMA-positive mCRPC patients after androgen receptor signalling pathway inhibitor and taxan-based chemotherapy or patient unfit for chemotherapy)
  • Patients will be included in Phase Ia while being under active therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T (SoC) and after they have completed the first two cycles of 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T RLT
  • At least 3 measurable tumours on PSMA PET/CT (>1.5 cm) with sufficiently intense PSMA uptake (SUVmax>20)
  • ECOG Performance status: 0-1
  • Blood parameters: a) Leucocytes ≥ 3 G/L; b) Haemoglobin ≥ 100 g/L; c) Thrombocytes ≥ 100 G/L
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 45 ml/min
  • Albumin > 25 g/L
  • ALT, AST, AP: ≤ 5 times upper standard value
  • Bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper standard value
  • For male patients who are not surgically sterilized (orchiectomy or vasectomy), appropriate contraceptive measures must be taken during RLT and until 4 months after completion of RLT. As acceptable contraceptive count sexual abstinence or double contraceptive methods: hormonal contraceptive (oral, transdermal, implants or injections) in combination with barrier methods (spiral, condom, diaphragm)

Who cannot take part

  • Prior PSMA-targeted RLT (except for the 2 first cycles in Part Ia)
  • Administration of another investigational product in the last 60 days before Visit 1 Day 1
  • Prior or planed administration of a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical during 8 half-lives of the used radio-pharmaceutical's radionuclide, also during the ongoing study
  • Any extensive radiotherapy involving bone marrow over the last 3 months before inclusion to the study
  • Chemotherapy in the last 4 weeks before inclusion
  • PSMA-negative (or PSMA-negative / FDG-positive) disease
  • Ongoing infection at the screening visit or a serious infection in the past 4 weeks
  • Current history of any malignancy other than prostate cancer within 5 years of enrolment except for fully resected non-melanoma skin cancer
  • Any uncontrolled significant medical, psychiatric or surgical condition (active infection, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, poorly controlled hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus [HbA1c ≥ 9%], uncontrolled congestive heart disease, etc.) or laboratory findings that might jeopardize the patient's safety or that would limit compliance with the objectives and assessments of the study. Any mental conditions which prevent the patient from understanding the type, extent and possible consequences of the study and/or an uncooperative attitude from the patient
  • Known intolerance against DOTA, DOTAGA, urea-based analogues or against any of the components/formulation of 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T or 161Tb-SibuDAB solutions

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Researchers will test a new treatment for prostate cancer. This treatment uses an antibody tagged with a small amount of radioactive material. Researchers believe the new antibody might work better than those used before.

Read full original descriptionShow less

In the first part of the study researchers will compare the new treatment to the old one on prostate cancer patients using very low doses, not strong enough to treat nor to cause strong adverse reactions. Each patient will eventually receive both treatments, but one at a time.

The aim of the second part of the study is to find the best dose of the new treatment for patients. This means finding the dose that offers the most benefits with the fewest side effects.

The performance of different prostate cancer diagnostic methods is also in scope of the study.

The 3 groups in the trial

  • Cross-Over Group AExisting treatment, for comparison

    Cross-over design (n=10, random allocation at a 1:1 ratio). Event order: 1. Injection of 1 GBq of 161Tb-SibuDAB, 2. 3 weeks washout period, 3. Injection of 1GBq of 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T

    Treatment: Injection, 161Tb-SibuDAB,1GBq and Injection, 177Lu-PSMA-I&T, 1GBq

  • Cross-Over Group BExisting treatment, for comparison

    Cross-over design (n=10, random allocation at a 1:1 ratio). Event order: 1. Injection of 1 GBq of 177Lu-PSMA-I\&T, 2. 3 weeks washout period, 3. Injection of 1GBq of 161Tb-SibuDAB

    Treatment: Injection, 161Tb-SibuDAB,1GBq and Injection, 177Lu-PSMA-I&T, 1GBq

  • Dose Escalation StudyTreatment being tested

    Arm composed of 5 patient cohorts each with 3-patients. Treatment consists of 4 cycles of 161Tb-SibuDAB based on the available MTD and DLT findings. Safety and efficacy evaluation performed after each therapy cycle.
