Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a phase 1/2 study to assess the safety and tolerability of ARX517 as monotherapy or in combination in adult subjects with Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Prostate Cancer	Drug: ARX517; Drug: Enzalutamide	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety, PK, PDy, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ARX517 as monotherapy or in combination in adult subjects with mCRPC with serum testosterone level < 50 ng/dL at screening who are resistant or refractory to standard therapies. Phase 1a (dose-escalation) and Phase 1b (dose-expansion) stages will identify the MTD and/or RP2Ds. Phase 2 will randomize subjects to receive ARX517 at the RP2Ds or ICT as comparator. The ICT to be used in Phase 2 will be determined after reviewing all available clinical data in Phase 1.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: ARX517 Alone and Combination Cohorts (Phase 1); Monotherapy: ARX517 will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3, or 4 weeks. Combination Cohorts: ARX517 + enzalutamide	Drug: ARX517; ARX517 is an ADC consisting of a humanized anti-PSMA monoclonal antibody (mAb) (IgG1κ) covalently conjugated to two (2) proprietary microtubule-disrupting toxins referred to as AS269.; Drug: Enzalutamide; Enzalutamide is the FDA approved drug

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Phase 1: Assess incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: 1.5 Years ]
   Incidence and severity of adverse events or serious adverse events of ARX517 will be assessed to determined the safety and tolerability of the treatment using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (CTCAE).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Phase 1: Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) for ARX517 [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) will be analyzed through different analytes such as ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
2. Phase 1: Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) for enzalutamide [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) will be analyzed
3. Phase 1: Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) for ARX517 [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter maximum serum concentration (Cmax) will be analyzed through different analytes such as, ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
4. Phase 1: Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) for enzalutamide [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter maximum serum concentration (Cmax) will be analyzed
5. Phase 1: Trough concentration (Ctrough) for ARX517 [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter trough concentration (Ctrough) will be analyzed through different analytes such as, ADC, total antibody, and pAF-AS269
6. Phase 1: Trough concentration (Ctrough) for enzalutamide [ Time Frame: 3 Year ]
   Pharmacokinetic parameter trough concentration (Ctrough) will be analyzed.
7. Phase 1: Incidence of ADA against ARX517 [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
   To assess the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against ARX517 at selected timepoints
8. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
   Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from first dose of study therapy to the date of death (any cause). Subjects who are alive will be censored at the last known time that the subject was alive.
9. Assess changes in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
   Proportion of subjects who show a confirmed reduction of 30% and 50% from baseline in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels (PSA30, PSA50)
10. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
    PFS is defined as the time between date of first dose of study therapy and date of progression or death, whichever occurs first, will be computed for response evaluable subjects. Subjects will be censored at time of subsequent therapy

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Phase 1: Evaluate of biomarkers [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
   To evaluate exploratory blood based biomarkers related to study drug response
2. Phase 1: Evaluate PSMA expression [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
   To evaluate relationship of PSMA expression and anti-tumor activity
3. Phase 1: Assess changes in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form [ Time Frame: 3 year ]

4. Phase 1: Assess changes in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Patients with Prostate Cancer (FACIT-P) [ Time Frame: 3 year ]
   FACT-P questionnaire will be utilized to assess subject quality of life. Higher scores mean a worse outcome
