Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine a safe, effective, and tolerable dose of PRX302 for the treatment of low to intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

A multi-centre, open label, phase IIb study, evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a targeted intraprostatic focal administration in development. The study will treat approximately 40 men who meet the eligibility criteria, and give written consent. Safety and tolerability will be assessed post-treatment over 26 weeks. Efficacy will be assessed by biopsy and imaging (mpMRI) at 24 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

  • Life expectancy ≥ 10 years.
  • Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤ 15ng/mL.
  • A histologically proven, clinically significant lesion visible on mpMRI (magnetic resonance imaging) that is accessible to PRX302 transperineal injection.
  • Radiological stage T1-T2 N0 Mx/M0 disease.
  • Targeted prostate biopsy within 6 months prior to dosing, with a clinically significant lesion correlating with an mpMRI visible lesion.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous radiation therapy to the pelvis.
  • Androgen suppression or anti-androgen therapy within the 12 months prior to dosing, for prostate cancer.
  • Use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor within the 3 months prior to dosing.
  • Evidence of metastatic disease or nodal disease outside the prostate on bone scan or cross-sectional imaging.
  • Inability to tolerate transrectal ultrasound (TRUS).
  • Known allergy to latex or gadolinium (Gd).
  • Prior rectal surgery preventing insertion of the TRUS probe.
  • Any previous ablative procedures performed on the prostate, e.g., electroporation, radiofrequency ablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryosurgery, photochemical, thermal or microwave therapy to treat cancer of the prostate.
  • Unable to have pelvic MRI scanning (severe claustrophobia, permanent cardiac pacemaker, metallic implant, etc., likely to contribute significant artifact to images).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including both serious and non-serious AEs, and assessments of severity and relatedness to both the study drug agent (PRX302) and the rest of the injection procedure

    Time frame: 26 weeks post administration

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients with an absence of clinically significant prostate cancer in the targeted area at 24 weeks post-administration of PRX302, as determined by a transperineal targeted biopsy [Efficacy]

    Clinically significant disease is defined as Gleason 7, or in the presence of Gleason 3+3 a maximum cancer core length \> 6 mm

    Time frame: 24 weeks post administration
