Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Study CP-MGC018-03 is an open-label, two-part, Phase 2 study. Part 1 of the study will enroll participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one prior androgen receptor axis-targeted therapy (ARAT). ARAT includes abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide. Participants may have received up to 1 prior docetaxel-containing regimen, but no other chemotherapy agents. This part of the study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018) in two experimental arms (2.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks \[Q4W\] and 2.7 mg/kg Q4W) . Approximately 100 participants will be randomized 1:1. Part 2 of the study will enroll participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Participants must have progressive following at least 1 prior line of standard chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease. Participants will receive vobramitamab duocarmazine at a dose of 2.7 mg/kg every 4 weeks. Up to 200 participants may be enrolled in Part 2. In both parts, vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered intravenously (IV) in clinic on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle. Vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered until criteria for treatment discontinuation are met. Participants will undergo regular testing for signs of disease progression using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scans, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Routine examinations and blood tests will be performed and evaluated by the study doctor.

Inclusion Criteria

My prostate cancer is confirmed and does not show specific aggressive features.
I can provide a tissue sample from my cancer that has spread to an internal organ.
My cancer has worsened as shown by tests or scans.

Interventions

  • ARAT (Androgen Receptor Axis-targeted Therapy)
  • MGC018 (Antibody-drug conjugate)
Trial OverviewThe trial is testing two doses of Vobramitamab Duocarmazine (2.0 mg/kg and 2.7 mg/kg) given every four weeks to see which works better for prostate cancer that has spread despite hormone therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either dose group in equal numbers.
