PSCA-Targeting CAR-T Cells Plus or Minus Radiation for the Treatment of Patients With PSCA+ Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Assess the feasibility, safety, and activity of lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by up to 3 cycles of 50M PSCA-CAR T cell immunotherapy per course either alone (treatment plan 1 [TP1]) or in combination with metastasis-directed radiation therapy (MDRT) (treatment plan 2 [TP2]) in adult patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe persistence and expansion of CAR T cells in peripheral blood (PB). II. Describe cytokine levels over the study period. III. Estimate disease response rates. IV. Estimate 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. V. Estimate 1-year overall survival (OS) rate.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe the immune landscape changes in PB and tumors. II. Describe phenotype of CAR T cells in PB. III. Describe tumor evolution in PB (circulating tumor cells [CTCs], circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] [cfDNA]) and tumors.

IV. Determine whether urine cytokines and cellularity is predictive of cystitis occurrence/severity.

V. Analyze microbial changes in stool associated with CAR T cell therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment plans.

TREATMENT PLAN I: Patients undergo leukapheresis and lymphodepletion and receive PSCA-CAR T cells intravenously (IV) up to 3 times on study.

TREATMENT PLAN II: Patients undergo leukapheresis, radiation in 2 doses, and lymphodepletion, and receive PSCA-CAR T cells IV up to 3 times on study.

Patients in both arms undergo bone scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, tumor biopsy, and collection of blood, stool and urine samples throughout the trial.
