A Parallel Arm Phase 1b/2a Study of DKN-01 as Monotherapy or in Combination With Docetaxel for the Treatment of Advanced Prostate Cancer With Elevated DKK1

NCT03756532

Description:

This is a non-randomized multi-center Phase 1b/2a dose escalation and dose expansion study involving 85-97 patients testing DKN-01 as monotherapy or in combination with docetaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients need to be biomarker positive (Dickkopf-1 [DKK1]) either in plasma or biopsy. Other biopsies for correlative studies are encouraged but not mandatory. Pharmacokinetic (PK)testing of one pre-treatment blood sample and one post-treatment blood sample will be mandatory on Day 1 of every cycle.

                  each determination with a minimum PSA of 2 ng/mL.

        Radionuclide bone progression as defined by at least two new metastatic lesions (per
        PCWG3).

        c)Soft tissue progression on transaxial imaging: new or progressive soft tissue masses on
