Phase

Condition

Prostate Cancer, Early, Recurrent

Metastatic Cancer

Treatment

High dose testosterone

Clinical Study ID

NCT05011383
SPLP-003-20F
  • Ages > 18
  • Male

Study Summary

This study will determine whether the presence of DNA repair deficiency in the form of alterations in the genes ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 predicts for a high likelihood of responding to the use of intermittent high dose testosterone. This therapy may result in responses in tumors which are genetically unstable because of DNA repair deficiency and this is a prospective study to test that hypothesis

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed informed consent form (ICF) providing agreement to adhere to the dosingschedule, report for all trial visits and authorization, use and release of healthand research trial information

  • Male age > 18 years

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate

  • Ongoing gonadal androgen deprivation therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues, antagonists or orchiectomy. Patients who have not had anorchiectomy must be maintained on effective GnRH analogue/antagonist therapy

  • Castration resistant prostate cancer as defined by serum testosterone < 50 ng/ml andone of the following:

  • PSA level of at least 2 ng/ml that has risen on at least 2 successive occasionsat least 1 week apart.

  • Evaluable disease progression by modified RECIST 1.1 (Response EvaluationCriteria in Solid Tumors)

  • Progression of metastatic bone disease on bone scan with > 2 new lesions

  • Presence of metastatic disease on bone or CT scan

  • Patients must have progressed on 1 next-generation AR-signaling inhibitor (e.g.abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, etc.).

  • Asymptomatic or minimal cancer related symptoms

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of < 2

  • Presence of inactivating mutations in ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 as determined by a CLIAlevel assay for DNA sequencing.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently receiving active therapy for other neoplastic disorders will not beeligible.

  • Histologic evidence of small cell carcinoma (morphology alone - immunohistochemicalevidence of neuroendrocrine differentiation without morphologic evidence is notexclusionary)

  • Known parenchymal brain metastasis

  • Liver metastases

  • Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease AST or ALT > 2.5 xULN or total bilirubin > ULN (unless Gilbert's syndrome is the etiology ofhyperbilirubinemia).

  • Clinically significant heart disease as evidenced by myocardial infarction, orarterial thrombotic events in the past 6 months, severe or unstable angina, or NewYork Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IV heart disease or cardiac ejection fractionmeasurement of <35 % at baseline

  • Patients with pain attributable to their prostate cancer and requiring the use ofopioids.

  • Tumor causing urinary outlet obstruction that requires catheterization for voiding.Patients that require catheterization to void secondary to benign strictures orother non-cancer causes will be permitted to enroll.

  • Presence of dementia, psychiatric illness, and/or social situations limitingcompliance with study requirements or understanding and/or giving of informedconsent.

  • Any condition(s), medical or otherwise, which, in the opinion of the investigators,would jeopardize either the patient or the integrity of the data obtained.

Study Design

Total Participants: 51
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: High dose testosterone
Phase: 2
Study Start date:
August 31, 2021
Estimated Completion Date:
August 31, 2027

Study Description

This is an unblinded, three cohort phase II study evaluating the efficacy of high dose testosterone (BAT) for patients with mCRPC and inactivating mutations in ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2. Patients will receive BAT until disease progression or intolerance, whichever occurs first. Throughout the study, safety and tolerability will be assessed by frequent recording of adverse events, vital signs and safety laboratory assessments. Progression will be evaluated with bone scan, CT of the abdomen/pelvis and PSA as per PCWG3 criteria.
