About this trial
This trial is a phase I open-label, single center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the bispecific prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and cluster of differentiation protein 3 (CD3) antibody CC-1 in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PC). The PSMA binder in CC-1 reacts with tumor cells and also binds to tumor vessels, thereby allowing for a dual mode of anti-cancer action. CC-1 was developed in a novel format, which not only prolongs serum half-life, but most importantly reduces off-target T-cell activation with accordingly reduced side effects. The study entails a part I (dose escalation part) to identify the maximally tolerated dose of CC-1, which then will be further evaluated in part II of the study (dose expansion part). After application of two low doses as safety steps in the first cycle, CC-1 will be applied twice weekly for three consecutive weeks within 4 week cycles as a short-term intravenous infusion (3 hours). The planned trial ultimately shall define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of CC-1 in the disease setting of BCR of PC.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dose escalation part: To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CC-1 as 3 hours infusion
Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) and Sponsor meeting about determination of the MTD for each cohort and the dose expansion phase
Dose expansion part: To define the recommended phase-II dose of CC-1
Data Safety and Monitoring Board and Sponsor meeting about determination of the recommended phase II dose of CC-1 for potential phase II trials.
Secondary outcomes
To evaluate safety and tolerability of CC-1
Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and with abnormal laboratory test results
To assess efficacy in terms of Prostata-Specific-Antigen (PSA) response and no PSA progression after CC-1 treatment
PSA response will be defined as ≥50% PSA decrease. In addition, "No PSA doubling", defined as PSA measured at visits C1-6, End Of Treatment (EOT), End Of Safety follow up (EOSf) and Follow-up (FU)1-5 divided by PSA measured at baseline, will be assessed as further efficacy endpoint. Furthermore, percentage of patients with no clinical relapse, no salvage and no subsequent antineoplastic therapy will be assessed
To assess clinical outcome in terms of progression-free survival, treatment-free survival, overall survival
Overall and progression free survival status as percentage of patients alive at EOSf and each follow-up assessment
To assess CC-1 serum concentrations
CC-1 serum concentrations assessed prior to and after start of infusion on each treatment day in the first cycle (each cycle is 28 days).
Other outcomes
To identify predictive biomarkers of response and resistance
Samples for human anti-human antibody (HAHA) analysis
To evaluate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CC-1 using Cytokine levels
Cytokine levels in serum as assessed at baseline and after therapy using a commercially available, flow cytometry-based assay that allows parallel determination of different cytokines in one serum sample.
