Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the combination of cetrelimab, with apalutamide and to define a population of participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who respond to treatment with the combination of cetrelimab and apalutamide.

Detailed Description

      This study is of participants originally diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate who
      have now developed mCRPC and who have progressed on therapy with abiraterone acetate plus
      prednisone/prednisolone (AA-P), apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide. Participants with
      treatment-emergent small-cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-SCNC) assessed by the
      screening biopsy may be considered for this study. Participants must have confirmed
      prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression per Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group
      (PCWG3) criteria. The primary hypothesis is that treatment with cetrelimab and apalutamide is
      safe and leads to improvement in the 12-week PSA response rate. The study consists of an
      Optional Pre-screening Period, Screening period (28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1), Treatment
      Period, End-of-Treatment Visit (performed after the last dose of study drug is administered),
      and Follow-up Period (participants will have Follow-up assessment every 12 weeks after the
      End-of-Treatment Visit). The efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cetrelimab in
      combination with apalutamide will be evaluated.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Treatment-emergent small-cell
             neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-SCNC) on screening biopsy may be eligible for cohort
             5

          -  Metastatic disease as documented by technetium-99m (99mTc) bone scan or metastatic
             lesions by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
             (visceral or lymph node disease). CT-portion of positron emission tomography (PET)/CT
             scan may be used for eligibility. If lymph node metastasis is the only evidence of
             metastatic disease, it must be greater than (>=) 1.0 centimeter (cm) in the short axis
             and above the level of the iliac bifurcation

          -  Progressed while on therapy with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone/prednisolone
             (AA-P), enzalutamide, darolutamide, or apalutamide for mCRPC. No washout is required
             and no additional therapy may have been administered between discontinuation of
             AR-targeted the agent and study treatment. Participants will be assigned to cohorts
             based on the results of the biomarker panel. Cohort 1: Biomarker-negative or

             on apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide; Cohort 3: Biomarker-positive
             participants who progressed on AA-P; Cohort 4: Biomarker-positive participants who
             progressed on apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide; Cohort 5: Biomarker-negative
             participants with t-SCNC who progressed on treatment with AA-P, apalutamide,
             darolutamide, or enzalutamide
