NCT05691465 | RECRUITING | Metastatic Prostate Adenocarcinoma With Neuroendocrine Differentiation

Testing the Safety and Effectiveness of Radiation-based Treatment (Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate) for Metastatic Prostate Cancer That Has Neuroendocrine Cells
Sponsor:

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Brief Summary:

This phase II trial studies how well lutetium Lu 177 dotatate works in treating patients with prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Neuroendocrine differentiation refers to cells that have traits of both hormone-producing endocrine cells and nerve cells. These cells release hormones into the blood in response to a signal from the nervous system. Hormones are biological substances that circulate through the bloodstream to control the activity of other organs or cells in the body. Lutetium Lu 177-dotatate is a radioactive drug. It binds to a protein called somatostatin receptor, which is found on some neuroendocrine tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177-dotatate builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radioconjugate and a type of somatostatin analog. Treatment with Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may shrink the tumor in a way that can be measured in patients with metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate the objective response rate for patients treated with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate using Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) 3 criteria. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the 6-month radiographic progression-free survival of neuroendocrine-differentiated prostate cancer treated with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate. II. Determine if the change in fludeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) signal from pre-treatment to after 2 doses of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate correlates with objective response rate. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the potential to perform patient-specific dosimetry of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate using gamma imaging to predict treatment response and renal toxicity. II. Perform gene expression analysis of circulating tumor cells to identify pre-treatment biomarkers of response and signatures of resistance at the time of progression. OUTLINE: Patients receive lutetium Lu 177 dotatate intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes. Cycles repeat every 6 weeks (Q6W) for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive gallium Ga 68-dotatate IV during screening then undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan at baseline and collection of blood throughout the trial. Patients are followed up at 6 weeks after last dose lutetium Lu 177 dotatate and then every 3 months for 2 years after removal from study or until death, whichever occurs first.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
  • * PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY
  • * Patients must have metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation, as determined by at least one of the following
    • * Histologically confirmed small cell or neuroendocrine cancer from a primary prostate or metastatic biopsy. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer includes mixed small cell with adenocarcinoma histology, as well as small or large cells with positive neuroendocrine markers (e.g., chromogranin or synaptophysin)
    • * Prostate adenocarcinoma with molecular features of neuroendocrine differentiated cancer (e.g., 2 of the following 3: PTEN, TP53, or RB loss)
    • * Progression of visceral metastases in the absence of PSA progression
    • * Serum chromogranin A \> 5x normal limit, or neuron-specific enolase \> 2x normal NOTE: Both patients who have had prior cytotoxic chemotherapy and patients who have never had cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer will be allowed
    • * Age \>= 18 years. Prostate cancer is typically a disease of older men, with the average age at diagnosis being 65 years. Consequently, because the research topic is not relevant to children, no children will be included in this study. There is no upper limit to the age of participants eligible for this study
    • * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2 (Karnofsky \>= 60%)
    • * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1,500/mcL
    • * Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL
    • * Hemoglobin \>= 8 g/dL, prior to each dose of lutetium lu 177 dotatate
    • * Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/ alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 3 x institutional ULN
    • * Creatinine Cockcroft calculated creatinine clearance of \>= 40 mL/min
    • * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
    • * For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
    • * Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.
    • * Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression
    • * Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
    • * Patients should be New York Heart Association Functional Classification of class 2B or better
    • * Current disease progression according to PCWG3 criteria
    • * Ongoing use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists/antagonists will be required (unless prior bilateral orchiectomy or pure neuroendocrine carcinoma histology) to maintain testosterone at castrate levels. Patients with a pure neuroendocrine carcinoma histology do not need to be undergoing LHRH agonist/antagonist therapy
    • * No concurrent use of other anti-cancer therapies
    • * Pregnancy Precaution: The effects of lutetium lu 177 dotatate on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because radionuclides are known to be teratogenic, male participants and their female partners must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while her male partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of lutetium lu 177 dotatate administration. Patients must not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after the last study drug administration
    • * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible
    • * Patients will undergo a Gallium 68 Dotatate PET scan after enrollment. The Gallium 68 Dotatate PET must be positive to proceed with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate therapy. A positive scan will be defined as at least one lesion with an maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) \> the average standardized uptake value (SUV) of normal liver. The positive lesion(s) can be in any location (bone metastases or visceral metastases). Patients with only bone metastases will be allowed
    • * REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY: The gallium 68 dotatate PET is positive. A positive scan will be defined as at least one lesion with an maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) \> the average SUV of normal liver. The positive lesion(s) can be in any location (bone metastases or visceral metastases). Patients with only bone metastases will be allowed.
