Study of Docetaxel Combined with Cirmtuzumab in Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

October 5, 2024 updated by: Rana Mckay, University of California, San Diego

A Phase 1b Trial Investigating Docetaxel Combined with Cirmtuzumab in Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of cirmtuzumab in combination with standard of care docetaxel in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. Docetaxel is a taxane chemotherapy which has been shown to prolong survival in men with castration resistant prostate cancer. Cirmtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the receptor called ROR1 of the non-canonical Wnt pathway and is suspected to contribute to prostate cancer growth and progression.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study seeks to targeting the non-canonical Wnt pathway with an antibody against ROR1. ROR1 is an attractive target given its low expression in non-malignant tissues and its role in proliferation and survival in prostate cancer. From preclinical data in a variety of tumor types, blockade of ROR1 inhibits cell growth and cirmtuzumab has shown efficacy in clinical trials with CLL. Preclinical data suggests that ROR1 is upregulated in chemotherapy resistant cells and treatment with cirmtuzumab and a taxane achieved higher cytotoxic response than both agents alone, supporting the use of the combination of cirmtuzumab and a taxane. Based on the biological rationale behind cirmtuzumab and preclinical activity with docetaxel, this is an open label, phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cirmtuzumab in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of metastatic, castrate resistant prostate adenocarcinoma.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

There is only one treatment arm on this study. The combination of cirmtuzumab + docetaxel will be administered on one treatment arm. Treatment will cirmtuzumab will be administered initially as a loading dose alone on days 1, 15, and 29 of cycle 1. Following the loading, cirmtuzumab will be given on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle starting on Cycle 2 to up to Cycle 7 corresponding with concurrent docetaxel administration. Following discontinuation or completion of docetaxel, treatment with cirmtuzumab will be continued Day 1 of every 28 cycle until disease progression, toxicity or study withdrawal.
