About this trial

The purpose of this substudy is to assess the efficacy and safety of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), given alone or with other treatments in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The goals of this study are to learn about:

* The safety of the study treatment and if people tolerate it. * A safe dose level of I-DXd that can be used with other treatments. * Participant levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) during treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has prostate cancer progression while on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (or post bilateral orchiectomy) within 6 months before Screening

Has current evidence of distant metastatic disease

Has received prior treatment with 1 or 2 androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and progressed during or after treatment

Disqualifiers

Has any history of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis irrespective of steroid use (except for a history of radiation pneumonitis that did not require steroids), current ILD, clinical or radiographic suspicion of ILD for which the diagnosis of ILD cannot be ruled out

Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses

Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease

History of pituitary dysfunction

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Efficacy Phase: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) - Combination Arms Only

The following events if considered drug related by the Investigator, will be considered a DLT: Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity (not based on laboratory value); Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥7 days, except thrombocytopenia; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration; Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with clinically significant bleeding; Nonhematologic AEs ≥Grade 3 with exceptions; Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic laboratory values if requires medical intervention, leads to hospitalization, persists for \>1 week, or results in a Drug-induced Liver Injury with exceptions; Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia; Study intervention - related toxicities that lead to discontinuation of study treatment during Cycle 1; Prolonged delay (\>2 weeks) in initiating Cycles 2 due to treatment-related toxicity; Missing \>25% of study intervention doses as a result of treatment-related AE during Cycle 1; Grade 5 toxicity.

Time frame
Up to approximately 21 days
2

Efficacy Phase: Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
3

Efficacy Phase: Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Intervention Due to an AE

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Time frame
Up to approximately 24 months
4

Efficacy Phase: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) response rate

PSA response is defined per prostate cancer working group (PCWG) criteria as a reduction in the PSA level of 50% or more from baseline measured at consecutive assessments at least 3 weeks apart.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per PCWG3-Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
2

Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS)

rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per PCWG3-modified RECIST 1.1 based on BICR or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per PCWG3-modified RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions or ≥2 new bone lesions was also considered PD. PCWG3-modified RECIST is similar to RECIST 1.1 with the exception that a confirmation assessment of PD (\>4 weeks after the initial PD) is required for participants who remain on treatment following a documented PD per RECIST 1.1 and PCWG3 rules include new bone lesions. The rPFS per PCWG3-modified RECIST as assessed by BICR for all participants is presented. The nonparametric Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the rPFS curve in each treatment arm

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
3

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The nonparametric Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the survival curves.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
4

Duration of Response (DOR)

DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death. Per PCWG3-modified RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of ≥ 2 new bone lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by BICR is presented. The nonparametric Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the DOR in each treatment arm.

Time frame
Up to approximately 54 months
