Acerca de la investigación

An open-label, multicenter, Phase 1b/2 study to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose and assess the efficacy and safety of talabostat administered orally, as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, in participants with mCRPC. Participants enrolled in the Phase 2a portion of the study will have either SCNC (Cohort A) or adenocarcinoma phenotype (Cohort B), while the Phase 2b randomized portion of the study will enroll only the histologic subtype(s) showing preliminary evidence in Phase 2a. The study will also assess other efficacy parameters, such as radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA PFS), overall survival (OS), and duration of response (DOR), as well as the safety of the combined treatment.

The study will consist of three components.

1. Phase 1b: Safety and tolerability of the combination of talabostat administered once daily (QD) on Days 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle plus pembrolizumab 200 milligrams (mg) administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of every 21 days will be assessed and confirmed in participants with mCRPC. In the first cohort enrolled in the study, the initial dose level of talabostat will be 0.4 mg; if there are no safety concerns, this will be escalated to a total daily dose of 0.6 mg.
2. Phase 2a (Simon 2 Stage): Participants will be treated with talabostat in combination with pembrolizumab. Participants will be grouped in 1 of 2 cohorts based on phenotype.

Cohort A: Participants with any Small Cell/Neuroendocrine features, either de novo or treatment-emergent included mixed SCNC.
Cohort B: Cohort B: Participants with adenocarcinoma and no evidence of small cell or neuroendocrine features.

Phase 2b (for the histologic subtype\[s\] showing preliminary efficacy in Phase 2a): Participants within a given subtype will be randomized 2:1 to receive either talabostat combined with pembrolizumab or talabostat monotherapy.

Phase 1b:

Participants will be observed for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during Cycle 1. Three participants will be treated initially with talabostat 0.4 mg plus pembrolizumab:

If there are no DLTs in Cycle 1, the dose of talabostat will be escalated to a total daily dose of 0.6 mg in the next cohort of 3 participants.
If ≥1 of the 3 original participants has a DLT in Cycle 1, after a discussion between the sponsor and the investigator, either 3 participants (if 1 participant experiences a DLT) or 6 to 9 participants (if 2 or 3 participants experiences a DLT) will be added at the 0.4 mg talabostat dose level. For this expanded 0.4 mg cohort:

If none of the participants experience a DLT, consideration will be given to dose escalation to talabostat 0.6 mg plus pembrolizumab
If 1/3 of the participants experience a DLT, the Phase 2 can commence
If \>1/3 of the participants experience a DLT, a discussion will be held between the investigators and sponsors as to how to proceed.

Following dose escalation to talabostat 0.6 mg plus pembrolizumab in 3 participants :

If there are no DLTs at this dose level, the Phase 2a can commence.
If ≥1/3 participants have a DLT in Cycle 1, after a discussion between the sponsor and the investigator, 6 to 9 participants will be added at the 0.6 mg talabostat total daily dose level; and consideration of an alternate dosing (e.g., split dose) schedule may be given.
For this additional cohort of 6 to 9 participants :

If \</= 1/3 of the participants experience a DLT, the Phase2a can commence.
If \>1/3 of the participants experience a DLT, consideration will be given to the use of a 0.4 mg total daily dose of talabostat, or an intermediate dose, plus pembrolizumab in the Phase 2a.

This criterion may be waived for male participants who have had a vasectomy \>6 months before signing the informed consent form.

Exception: In the United States, female partners of study participants are not required to use contraception as a condition of their partners' eligibility, but female partners with childbearing potential should consider use of effect methods of contraception for the duration of their male partners' study participation and for at least 6 months following the last dose of study medication.
11. Participant has signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures or treatment.
12. Participant is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements, including follow-up for overall survival (OS).

Exclusion Criteria:

9. Participant has brain or leptomeningeal metastases that are symptomatic and progressive on imaging. Participants with a history of central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have received appropriate treatment. Central nervous system imaging is not required prior to study entry unless there is a history of CNS involvement or clinical suspicion of CNS involvement. Imaging of participants with a prior history of CNS metastases should be compared to prior imaging to discern disease progression.
10. Participant has an active autoimmune disease or Grade ≥3 non-infectious pneumonitis that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) or treatment with drugs (e.g., neomercazol, carbimazole) that function to decrease the generation of thyroid hormone by a hyperfunctioning thyroid gland (e.g., in Graves' disease) is not considered a form of systemic treatment of an autoimmune disease.
11. Participant has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy at a prednisone equivalent dose of \>10 mg daily for at least 1 week or other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).
12. Participant has uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, uncontrolled infection, suspected or active Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, disseminated intravascular coagulation, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
13. Participant has known positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, active or chronic Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C. Screening is not required.
14. Participant has any medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, places the participant at an unacceptably high risk for toxicity.
15. Any dysphagia, odynophagia, esophageal dysmotility or stricture, known gastro-intestinal (GI) malabsorption syndrome, or intractable diarrhea that may significantly alter the absorption of orally administered study drug.
16. Participants with history of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension within 3 months prior to enrollment. Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure (BP) of ≥ 20 mmHg or diastolic BP of ≥ 10 mmHg with assumption of an upright posture.

Medidas principales

Phase 2a: Composite Response Rate (CRR)

Plazo: Up to approximately 4 years and 4 months

CRR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved 1 or more of the following: objective response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria; ≥50% decline from baseline in serum Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA); or Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) conversion from ≥5/7.5 milliliters (mL) to \<5/7.5 mL per Veridex assay. Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) among participants with evaluable lesions by RECIST v1.1. CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR = ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions compared to baseline and no new non-target lesion.

Phase 2b: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Plazo: Up to approximately 4 years and 4 months

The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed CR or PR among participants with evaluable lesions by RECIST v1.1. CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR = ≥30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline and no new non-target lesion.

Medidas secundarias

Phase 2a: Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS)

Plazo: Up to approximately 6 years 2 months

The rPFS was defined as the time from the first dose to the date measurement criteria are first met for disease progression (PD) by RECIST 1.1/Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD for soft tissue was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm) in the SOD of target lesions; progression of non-target lesions; the appearance of one or more new lesions according to RECIST v1.1. PD for bone lesions was defined as 2 or more new lesions compared to baseline followed by a confirmatory bone scan at least 6 weeks later according to the PCWG3 criteria. Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimate was used to determine the median rPFS.
