Study CP-MGC018-03 is a randomized, open-label, Phase 2 study. The study will enroll participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one prior androgen receptor axis-targeted therapy (ARAT). ARAT includes abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide. Participants may have received up to 1 prior taxane-containing regimen, but no other chemotherapy agents.
The study will assess efficacy and tolerability of two vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018) experimental arms (2.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks [Q4W] and 2.7 mg/kg Q4W) . Approximately 100 participants will be randomized 1:1.
Vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered intravenously (IV) in clinic on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle. Vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered for up to 26 cycles, approximately 2 years, until criteria for treatment discontinuation are met. Participants will undergo regular testing for signs of disease progression using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scans, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Routine examinations and blood tests will be performed and evaluated by the study doctor.
An analysis of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) will o after 100 participants have been on-study for at least 6 months.

- Radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) as determined by the investigator [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks for the first 24 weeks, then every 12 weeks, up to 2 years ]The rPFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

- Duration of response (DoR) per PCWG3 criteria using investigator review [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks throughout study participation, up to 2 years ]The DoR will be calculated as the time from the date of initial tumor response (CR or PR) to the date of first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Prostate-specific Cancer Antigen (PSA) response rate per PCWG3 criteria [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks throughout study participation, up to 2 years ]PSA response is defined as a ≥ 50% decline in PSA from baseline with PSA confirmation ≥ 3 weeks after the first documented reduction in PSA of ≥ 50%.
- Time to PSA progression per PCWG3 criteria [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks throughout study participation, up to 2 years ]
In participants with a decrease in PSA from baseline: ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the nadir value, which is confirmed by a consecutive second value obtained ≥ 3 weeks later.
In participants with no decrease in PSA from baseline: ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the baseline value after 12 weeks.
- Duration of PSA response per PCWG3 criteria [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks throughout study participation, up to 2 years ]Duration of PSA response is defined as the time from the date of first documented PSA response to the earliest date of PSA progression.

- Best PSA percent change [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks throughout study participation, up to 2 years ]
- Time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks throughout the study, up to 2 years ]An SSE is defined as any of the following events: new symptomatic pathological fracture, requirement for radiation therapy to relieve bone pain, spinal cord compression, or tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention. The time to first SSE is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first occurrence of SSE.
- Number of participants with adverse event (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and AEs leading to study treatment discontinuation. [ Time Frame: Throughout the study, up to 2 years ]
