Study Description

Brief Summary:

The study will be conducted in 2 Stages. The primary objective of Stage 1 of the study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ES414 administered intravenously to patients with mCRPC. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, cytokine response, and clinical activity of ES414.

The primary objective of Stage 2 of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity of ES414 in patients that have or have not received prior chemotherapy. Secondary objectives are to further characterize the safety profile, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of ES414.

Prostate Cancer	Biological: ES414	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Stage 1 - Dose Escalation: The dose escalation stage of the study will test weekly doses of 0.2 mcg/kg to 300 mcg/kg over 9 dose levels (cohorts). Cohorts 1 to 3 consist of single patients and Cohorts 4 - 9 will consist of a minimum of 3 patients; an additional 3 patients may be added to the cohort if adverse events possibly related to ES414 or dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) occur. The next dose cohort will only enroll after the patient(s) in the current dose cohort have completed the first cycle of dosing (4 weeks) with no significant adverse events or DLTs. Six patients will be enrolled at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and this dose will be used for Stage 2.

Stage 2 - Expansion: The continuous intravenous infusion MTD dose regimen will be further examined in 2 expansion cohorts; the first cohort are patients that have received prior chemotherapy, such as docetaxel for mCRPC, and the second cohort are those that have not received prior chemotherapy for mCRPC. Serum samples will be collected for serial PK assessment for ES414 drug levels and antibody formation. Response will be assessed every 2 months during the first 6 months of treatment and then every 3 months until progression of mCRPC, intolerable side effects, or withdrawal of consent.

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: ES414; Cohorts 1-3 of the dose escalation stage of the study (Stage 1) will test weekly doses of 0.2 mcg/kg to 2 mcg/kg. Cohorts 4-9 of the dose escalation stage of the study (Stage 1) will test continuous infusion at flat doses of 25 mcg to 300 mcg per day delivered continuously over 24 hours. The maximum tolerated dose from Stage 1 of the study will be further examined in Stage 2. Patients in cohorts 1-3 will receive ES414 weekly via intravenous (IV) infusion during the first three 28-day cycles and then on Day 1 and 15 of each subsequent cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity occurs, or the patient withdraws consent. Patients in cohorts 4-9 will receive ES414 as a continuous IV infusion for 6 months until disease progression, intolerable toxicity occurs, or the patient withdraws consent.

Biological: ES414; ES414 is a novel humanized bispecific antibody which is designed to treat mCRPC by redirecting T-cell cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells expressing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Maximum Tolerated Dose of ES414 [ Time Frame: during first 28 days of treatment ]
   Identify the maximum tolerated dose in dose-escalation stage (Stage 1) by assessment of dose-limiting toxicities

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Safety Profile of ES414 [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed for the duration of treatment, an expected average of 6 months, and for 28 days following last treatment ]
   The safety profile of ES414 will be assessed by monitoring incidence and severity of adverse events
2. Maximum Serum Drug Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Pre- and post-infusion at least weekly during first 28-day cycle, and on Days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles for an expected duration of 6 months, and for up to 8 weeks following last treatment ]
   Blood samples will be obtained from all patients for determination of the maximum serum concentration of ES414.
3. Area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Pre- and post-infusion at least weekly during first 28-day cycle, and on Days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles for an expected duration of 6 months, and for up to 8 weeks following last treatment ]
   Blood samples will be obtained from all patients for determination of the AUC of ES414.
4. Elimination half-life (T1/2) [ Time Frame: Pre- and post-infusion at least weekly during first 28-day cycle, and on Days 1 and 15 of subsequent cycles for an expected duration of 6 months, and for up to 8 weeks following last treatment ]
   Blood samples will be obtained from all patients for determination of the T1/2 of ES414.
5. Immune-Related Response Criteria (irRC) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
   Investigator measurements of target lesions
6. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
   Investigator measurements of target lesions
7. Pharmacodynamics of ES414 [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed for the duration of treatment, an expected average of 6 months, and for 28 days following last treatment ]
   Blood samples will be collected from all patients and evaluated by flow cytometry for changes in lymphocytes
8. PSA Response [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
   Blood samples will be collected from all patients and tested for PSA
9. Circulating Tumor Cells [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed for the duration of treatment, an expected average of 6 months, and for 28 days following last treatment ]
