NEPC Study: An Exploratory Safety and Efficacy Study With PSMA, SSTR2 and GRPR Targeted Radioligand Therapy in Metastatic Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer.
United States, France, Germany31 participantsStarted 2024-07-29
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in the expression of treatment targets on the surface of tumor cells (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2), and Gastrin Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR) between the baseline and following targeted radioligand therapy (RLT). Study will use radioligand imaging (RLI) to determine predominantly expressed target on the surface of tumor cells. Based on predominant expression of target, corresponding RLT targeting PSMA, SSTR2, or GRPR RLT will be given for up to 6 cycles every 6 weeks as intravenous (i.v.) injection in participants with metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer (mNEPC).

Key Inclusion criteria:
* Participants must have metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation as determined by at least one of the following:
* Histologically small cell or neuroendocrine cancer from a primary prostate or metastatic biopsy confirmed by local laboratory.
* Expression of NEPC markers (e.g., chromogranin or synaptophysin) in tumor tissue by IHC confirmed by local laboratory
* Progression of visceral metastases in the absence of PSA progression
* Serum chromogranin A \> 5x normal limit, or neuron-specific enolase \> 2x normal limit with control for proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) drugs among concomitant treatment
* Prostate adenocarcinoma with molecular features of neuroendocrine differentiated cancer (e.g., 2 of the following 3: PTEN, TP53, or RB loss)
* PSMA and/or SSTR2 and/or GRPR PET-positive participants, with at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 with moderate target expression in at least one of the 3 PET/CT scans per BICR assessment
* Castrate level of serum/plasma testosterone (\< 50 ng/dl, or \< 1.7 nmol/L) for participants with adenocarcinoma component or stable testosterone level for participants with pure neuroendocrine carcinoma
* Recovered to ≤ Grade 2 from all clinically significant toxicities related to prior therapy
* Participant has adequate bone marrow and organ function (as assessed by central laboratory for eligibility)
* ECOG status =\< 2
Key Exclusion criteria:
* Previous treatment with any of the foll…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Number/extent of lesions with at least a moderate uptake of any of the Radioligand Imaging (RLI)
Timeframe: Baseline (baseline imaging is performed during the 42 day screening period)
2
Percentage changes in quantitative PET parameters.
Timeframe: Post-Baseline (from date of baseline imaging scans to post-baseline scans, at least 6 weeks after receiving the first cycle of radioligand treatment)
