An Open-label, Randomized, Phase III Study Comparing 177Lu-PSMA-617 in Combination With Standard of Care, Versus Standard of Care Alone, in Adult Male Patients With Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with Standard of Care, versus Standard of Care alone, in adult male patients with mHSPC. In this study, the SoC is defined as a combination of Androgen Receptor Directed Therapy + Androgen Deprivation Therapy. Approximately 1126 patients will be randomized in this study. As of 31-Jan-2024, 1144 participants have been enrolled in 20 countries.
In this international, open-label, prospective, phase III study, where approximately 1126
patients with treatment naïve or minimally treated PSMA-positive mHSPC will be randomized
in a 1:1 ratio to receive Standard of Care (SoC) with or without the radioligand
177Lu-PSMA-617.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the combination of
177Lu-PSMA-617 + SoC improves rPFS over that obtained by administration of SoC alone in
mHSPC patients.
The randomization will be stratified according to the following three factors: disease
volume (high v low), age >= 70 years (yes/no), and on Previous or planned treatment
(prostatectomy or radiation) to primary (prostate) tumor (yes/no).
Study duration: approximately 50 months. screening period: after signing ICF, patients
will be assessed for eligibility and will be scanned with 68Ga PSMA-11 to identify PSMA
expression status. Following completion of all required screening procedures and
verifying participant eligibility, the participant will be randomized via the interactive
response technology (IRT) system.
Amended protocol v02 included an option for participants to be enrolled into a separate
long-term safety follow-up study, and China extension cohort (40 to 60 participants).
Amended protocol v03 excluded China extension cohort and added a second 68Ga-PSMA-11
PET/CT scan at rPD.
Prior treatment:
- Up to 45 days of LHRH agonist/antagonists is allowed prior to ICF signature. If
patient did not start the ADT prior randomization, ADT should start as soon as
possible and ideally no later than 2 weeks after randomization.
- Up to 45 days of ARDT is allowed prior ICF signature. If patient did not start the
ARDT prior randomization, ARDT should start as soon as possible and ideally no later
than 2 weeks after randomization. Patients will received ARDT as per label
instructions.
Randomization period:
The participant will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Standard of Care (SoC) with
or without the radioligand 177Lu-PSMA-617.
Treatment period:
Patients randomized to the investigational arm (i.e. SoC+177Lu-PSMA-617): Patients will
receive SoC as per label instructions, after randomization, if not started earlier and in
the time frame allowed by the protocol. Patients must begin 177Lu-PSMA-617 dosing within
14 days after randomization or as soon as possible after the product is received.
177Lu-PSMA-617 is administered at the dose of 7.4 GBq (+/- 10%), once every 6 weeks (+/-
1 week) for a planned 6 cycles.
Patients randomized to the control arm will begin receiving SoC as per label instructions
after randomization, if not started earlier and in the time frame allowed by the
protocol.
The primary endpoint of rPFS will be assessed by a centralized blinded image review
committee (i.e., BIRC) using radiographic images provided by the treating physician.
Participants from both arms will also undergo PET/CT scan with 68GaPSMA-11 following
Centrally confirmed rPD.
An end of treatment (EOT) visit will be performed when participants permanently
discontinue study treatment.
Cross-over period:
After patients randomized to the SoC alone (i.e., control) arm experience radiographic
progression (the rPFS event) as confirmed by BIRC, they will be allowed to cross-over to
receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 +/- SoC per the discretion of the treating physician. If
cross-over to 177Lu-PSMA-617 is selected, then 177Lu-PSMA-617 will be administered with
the same dose/schedule as participants who were initially randomized to receive
177Lu-PSMA-617 as described above. Study cross-over participants for whom 177Lu-PSMA-617
is discontinued must have a second End of Treatment (EOT2) visit performed =< 7 days and
enter the Post-treatment Follow-up .
Post-Treatment Follow-Up (Safety, Efficacy):
After treatment discontinuation, all participants will be followed for safety with a
30-day safety follow-up visit (FUP) as well as longer term safety follow-up assessments
for a period of approximately 12 months.
Participants who discontinue study treatment without having progressive disease confirmed
by BIRC, will continue to be assessed for efficacy (efficacy follow-up) during the
post-treatment follow-up period until the occurrence of their BIRC-confirmed radiographic
disease progression (rPFS) event , or if the total number of protocol-defined rPFS events
has occurred triggering the primary analysis, whichever occurs first.
Survival Follow-Up:
After study treatment discontinuation, or post-treatment follow-up period
discontinuation, the participant's status will be collected every 90 days (via phone
calls) as part of the survival follow-up. Every effort should be made to comply with the
survival follow-up schedule and ensure collection of participant survival. The survival
follow-up and the study will end when the number of OS events required for final OS
analysis will be reached.

3. Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
4. Patients must have a life expectancy >9 months as determined by the study
investigator
5. Patients must have metastatic prostate cancer with histologically or cytologically
confirmed adenocarcinoma (current or prior biopsy of the prostate and/or metastatic

metastases prior to ADT that disappear at baseline will be counted as having
visceral metastases and would therefore have high volume disease for
