A Study of TRC003 in the Treatment of Patients With Progressive PSMA-positive mCRPC

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy of TRC003 injection in patients with progressive PSMA-positive mCRPC who have been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) or taxane-based chemotherapy. We plan to recruit 90 participants who will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 dose cohorts (30 cases per dose cohort) with up to 6 cycles of treatment in this study.

About this study

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, phase 1/2 study on adult patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Approximately 90 eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized 1:1:1 to three dose cohorts. The first six participants in each cohort will be assessed for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first treatment cycle.

Each eligible participant will receive one of the predefined doses of TRC003 (7.40, 9.25, 11.10 MBq) by intravenous infusion every 8 weeks (±1 week) for a maximum of 6 cycles if participants benefit from the treatment. All participants in this study may undergo dose modification based on the assessment of safety or efficacy by the investigators.

Any adverse events (AEs) observed or reported will be recorded. Blood and urine samples will be collected after the first administration of TRC003 on 6 participants in each cohort for pharmacokinetics (blood concentration of TRC003). 2 eligible participants of each cohort (total 6 participants) will undergo SPECT/CT for dosimetry after informed consent. All participants will be assessed PSA every 4 weeks. CT with contrast /MRI and bone scan will be evaluated every 8 weeks until proved disease progression by RECIST version 1.1 and the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3).

Treatment and study plan

Radiopharmaceuticals

Drug

TRC003 is a radioligand therapeutic agent indicated for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. TRC003 is a 225Ac-labeled novel molecule for targeted alpha therapy (TAT), which delivers alpha-particle radiation specifically to prostate cancer cells expressing PSMA. Inside the body, it attaches itself to PSMA on the cell surface of the prostate cancer cells and emits radiation to kill them.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs

    Time frame: From date of the first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Adverse events (AEs) will be assessed and graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) by monitoring adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, Electrocardiogram(ECG).

  2. Prostate Specific Antigen response (PSA50)

    Time frame: About 12 months.

    The percentage of participants who achieved ≥ 50% decrease from baseline at 12 weeks after the first administration or later.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Peak concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 10 days following the first dose.

    The maximum measured concentration of TRC003 in the body after administration.

  2. AUC0-t

    Time frame: 10 days following the first dose.

    Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable concentration

  3. T1/2

    Time frame: 10 days following the first dose.

    Time required for the drug concentration to decrease by 50%.

  4. Absorbed dose coefficients

    Time frame: 10 days following the first dose.

    The ratio of absorbed dose in a target tissue to the total activity injected, representing dose delivered per unit activity.

  5. Residence time
