Neoadjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy Combined With Enzalutamide and Abiraterone Using Multiparametric MRI and 18FDCFPyL PET/CT in Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer

NCT03860987

Description:

Background: Prostate cancer is a common cancer among men. There are several ways to treat it, including hormone blocking drugs, radiation therapy, and surgery. Researchers want to combine abiraterone and enzalutamide to see if there is a better way to treat prostate cancer. They also want to study a new radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL, with the help of a scan called positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to see if there is a better way to detect prostate cancer. Objective: To develop improved techniques to localize and detect prostate cancer; and to develop new ways to treat prostate cancer Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body Design: - Participants will have a medical evaluation to determine eligibility for the study. - Participants will take three different medications daily by mouth and receive two injections during the course of the study. - Participants will have a medical evaluation monthly (for 6 months) while taking the medications. - Participants will have prostate MRI and PET/CT scans before treatment, 2 months after starting treatment and again before surgery. The radiotracer will be given by injection about 2 hours before the whole-body scan. The PET/CT scan itself is about an hour. - Participants may be asked to do a biopsy before treatment and 2 months after starting treatment. - Participants will have a full medical evaluation before surgery to remove their prostate. - Participants will have a follow-up visit 3 months after surgery and then as needed. - Participants will be contacted once a year for their PSA and testosterone levels for 5 years...

Detailed Description

      Background:

        -  Most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will present with intermediate or high-risk
           disease, and many develop castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) as curative
           strategies are often unsuccessful

        -  Treatment options typically involve radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy (RT)
           in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)

        -  PET imaging based on prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), including use of the
           radiotracer DCFPyL, which binds PSMA, has emerged as a sensitive modality to detect
           localized and metastatic prostate cancer

        -  It is unknown how androgen-targeted therapy affects expression of the androgen-
           regulated PSMA gene, FOLH1, and 18F -DCFPyL-PET/CT sensitivity; and, the correlation
           between response on 18F -DCFPyL-PET/CT imaging and clinical response needs further
           evaluation

        -  The use of highly effective androgen pathway inhibitors enzalutamide and abiraterone
           offers an opportunity to understand the characteristics of 18F -DCFPyL-PET imaging
           during treatment while potentially improving the cure rate of men with potentially
           lethal localized prostate cancer

        -  There remains a great need for improved techniques to determine mechanisms of treatment
           response and resistance

      Objectives:

      - To test the feasibility of 18F -DCFPyL-PET/CT for the localization of prostate cancer
      before, during, and after pre-operative treatment with ADT, enzalutamide, and
      abiraterone/prednisone in patients negative for metastatic disease

      Eligibility:

        -  Pathologic diagnosis of castration-sensitive prostate cancer with intermediate- or high-
           risk features and no evidence of metastases beyond N1 on conventional imaging

        -  Candidates for radical prostatectomy

        -  Testosterone levels greater than or equal to 100 ng/dL

        -  ECOG PS 0-1

        -  Men age greater than or equal to 18 years

      Design:

        -  Patients will be treated with ADT, enzalutamide, and abiraterone/prednisone for 6
           months, followed by standard of care radical prostatectomy (RP)

        -  18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT and mpMRI scans prior to treatment, during months 3-5 and after 6
           months of treatment

        -  Prostate tumor biopsy (MR/US-guided) samples for research analyses at baseline and after
           mid-treatment imaging post-month 2

        -  It is anticipated that approximately 1.5 to 2 years may be required for accrual of up to
           25 evaluable subjects.

                    -  PSA > 20 at the time of diagnosis,

                    -  Gleason 8 or higher,

                    -  Seminal vesicle involvement,

                    -  Possible (on MRI) extra-capsular extension (T3 disease), OR

          5. Men age greater than or equal to18 years.

             Children are excluded because prostate cancer is not common in pediatric populations.

             Women are not eligible because this disease occurs only in men.

          6. ECOG performance status 0-1.

          7. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function, and other laboratory parameters
             as defined below:

               -  hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL

               -  total bilirubin within normal institutional limits

                  creatinine levels above institutional normal (calculated via EGFR)

          8. Lesions within prostate must be detectable on MRI for biopsy.

          9. The effects of enzalutamide and abiraterone on the developing human fetus are unknown.
             For this reason and because androgen receptor antagonists as well as other therapeutic
             agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, male participants and their
             female partners of child bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception
             (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence). Male participants should
             use a condom if having intercourse with a pregnant woman. Additionally, a condom plus
             another effective method of birth control is recommended during therapy and for 3
             months after treatment for male participants having intercourse with a woman of
             reproductive potential. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant
             while her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating
             physician immediately and her partner should inform the study team.

         10. Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed
             consent document.

             treatment or radiation therapy) for prostate cancer.

          4. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
             composition to enzalutamide, abiraterone or other agents used in study.

             myocardial infarction in the previous 6 months as confirmed by an electrocardiogram
             (ECG).

          8. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
             infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
             study requirements.

          9. HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of potential
             pharmacokinetic interactions with study drugs. However, patients with long-standing
             (>5 years) HIV on antiretroviral therapy > 1 month (undetectable HIV viral load and
             CD4 count > 150 cells/microliter) may be eligible if the PI determines no anticipated
