About this trial

This phase I trial compares the effect of lutetium Lu 177 (177\^Lu)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 in combination with Sipuleucel-T to 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 alone in treating patients with prostate that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and has continued to grow and spread despite surgical or medical intervention to block androgen production (castration-resistant). 177\^Lu-PSMA-617, a type of radioconjugate, binds to a protein called PSMA, which is found on some prostate tumor cells. It gives off radiation that may kill the tumor cells. Sipuleucel-T, a type of vaccine and a type of cellular adoptive immunotherapy, is made from immune system cells. The cells are treated with a protein that is made by combining a protein found on prostate tumor cells with a growth factor. When the cells are injected back into the patient, they may stimulate T cells to kill prostate tumor cells. Giving 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with sipuleucel-T may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective compared to 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 alone in treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Anti-prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody response rate

Will be defined as the proportion of patients with an IgG titer \> 400. Comparisons between study arms will be performed using the Fisher's exact test. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the antibody response rates, and Clopper-Pearson exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.

Time frame
Between week 7 and week 19
2

Change in anti-PAP IgG antibody titers

Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize antibody titer levels at each time point. Comparisons between study arms will be performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Student's t-test, as appropriate.

Time frame
Between week 7 and week 19

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in anti-PA2024 antibody titers

Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize antibody titer levels at each time point. Comparisons between study arms will be performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Student's t-test, as appropriate.

Time frame
Between week 7 and week 19
2

Incidence of adverse events

Comparison of toxicities will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version (v) 5.0 criteria.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment
3

Proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels (PSA50 response rate)

The PSA50 response rate will be calculated for each treatment arm as the proportion of patients achieving PSA50 response among all evaluable patients. A Fisher's exact test will be used to compare response rates between arms.

Time frame
At baseline up to 3 years
4

Objective response rate

The association between treatment arm and overall response as per RECIST v 1.1 criteria (response observed versus not observed) will be examined using Fisher's exact test.

Time frame
Up to 3 years
