A phase II study of Avelumab + stereotactic ablative body radiosurgery (SABR) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

ACTRN 12618000954224

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) plus Avelumab in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Intervention/Treatment

  • Intervention: SABR (stereotactic ablative body radiosurgery).
  • Drug: Avelumab

Inclusion Criteria

  1. 18 years of age.
  2. Willing and able to provide informed written consent.
  3. Life expectancy of at least 6 months.
  4. Adenocarcinoma of the prostate diagnosed histologically without small cell differentiation.
  5. Prior surgical orchiectomy or maintained on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist therapy.
  6. Prior treatment with 1 of the following agents: CYP17 inhibitors (including abiraterone acetate (ABI), TAK-700, TOK-001 and ketoconazole), enzalutamide or other experimental anti-androgens (e.g. ARN-509, TOK-001).
  7. Prior treatment with up to 1 line of systemic chemotherapy for mCRPC is permitted.
  8. Evidence of biochemical or imaging progression in the setting of surgical or medical castration. PD for study entry is defined by one of the following three criteria:
    • PSA progression: minimum of two rising PSA values from a baseline measurement with an interval of 1 week between each measurement.
    • Soft tissue or visceral disease progression as per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
    • Bone progression: 2 new lesions on bone scan.
  9. Radiographic evidence of metastatic disease documented with bone scan or CT scan. Patients with any number of metastatic sites are permitted to enrol.
  10. Adequate organ function laboratory values:
    • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) at 1.5 x 109/L.
    • Platelets at 100 x 109/L.
    • Hemoglobin at 9 g/dL.
    • Creatinine at 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR at 60 mL/min calculated creatinine clearance for subject with creatinine levels greater than 1.5 X ULN.
    • Serum total bilirubin at 1.5 X ULN OR direct bilirubin at ULN for participants with total bilirubin levels greater than 1.5 ULN.
    • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) at 2.5 X ULN OR at 5 X ULN for participants with liver metastases.
    • International normalised ratio (INR)/activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT) at 1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as prothrombin time (PT) or partial prothrombin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants.
  11. Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.
  12. Be willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, attending assessments and follow-up.
  13. Participants should agree to use a highly efficient method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy.
