Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Combination Therapies in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (MK-3475-365/KEYNOTE-365)

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) combination therapy in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). There will be three cohorts in this study with 70 participants enrolled in each cohort: Cohort A will receive pembrolizumab + olaparib, Cohort B will receive pembrolizumab + docetaxel + prednisone, and Cohort C will receive pembrolizumab + enzalutamide. Outcome measures will be assessed individually for each cohort.

Inclusion Criteria:

- For Cohorts A, B, C, D, E, G: Has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed
adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell histology

- For Cohorts F, H, I: Has t-NE or de novo metastatic prostate cancer defined by
≥1% neuroendocrine cells that are located in discrete regions of a recent biopsy
specimen from a metastasis as determined by the investigational site and
confirmed by central histology review prior to enrollment

- Is able to provide tumor tissue from a site not previously irradiated as follows:
Cohorts A, E, and G: must provide a core or excisional biopsy from soft tissue or bone
biopsy within 1 year of screening and after developing mCRPC; Cohort B: must provide
an archival tumor tissue sample or tumor tissue from a newly obtained core or
excisional biopsy from soft tissue if the lesion is clinically accessible; Cohorts C
and D with soft tissue disease: must provide a core or excisional biopsy from a soft
tissue lesion if clinically accessible within 1 year of screening and after developing
mCRPC and an archival specimen if available; and Cohorts F, H, and I must provide a
core or excisional biopsy from soft tissue or a bone biopsy. For de novo metastatic
neuroendocrine prostate participants, biopsies must be performed within 1 year of
screening. Participants with bone metastasis only must provide an archival tumor
tissue specimen.

- Has prostate cancer progression within 6 months prior to screening, as determined by
the investigator, by means of one of the following: PSA progression as defined by a
minimum of 2 rising PSA levels with an interval of ≥1 week between each assessment
where the PSA value at screening should be ≥2 ng/mL; radiographic disease progression
in soft tissue based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1
criteria with or without PSA progression; radiographic disease progression in bone
defined as the appearance of 2 or more new bone lesions on bone scan with or without
PSA progression. Participants with de novo neuroendocrine prostate cancer will not
need to provide evidence of progression within 6 months

- Has ongoing androgen deprivation with serum testosterone <50 ng/dL (<2.0 nM).
Treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists for all
cohorts must have been initiated ≥4 weeks prior to first dose of study therapy and
must be continued throughout the study. Participants with de novo metastatic NE
prostate cancer will not be required to have been previously treated with androgen
deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT must be started in these participants by the time of
treatment allocation/randomization

- Participants receiving bone resorptive therapy (including, but not limited to
bisphosphonate or receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-? ligand inhibitor) must
be on stable doses for ≥4 weeks prior to first dose of study therapy

- Must be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse, refrain from donating sperm, or agree
to use contraception (unless confirmed to be azoospermic) during the intervention
period starting with the first dose of study therapy. The length of time required to
continue contraception after the last dose of study intervention for each study
intervention is as follows: 7 days for abiraterone acetate and lenvatinib; 30 days for
enzalutamide; and 95 days for olaparib, docetaxel, and carboplatin/etoposide. No
contraception measures are required during and after the intervention period for
pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation.

- Has a performance status of 0, 1, or 2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group
(ECOG) Performance Scale for Cohorts A and C and a performance status of 0 or 1 for
Cohorts B, D, E, F, G, H, and I within 10 days of study start

- For Cohort A: Has received docetaxel for mCRPC. Prior treatment with 1 other
chemotherapy for mCRPC is allowed. Up to 2 second-generation hormonal manipulations
(e.g., abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide) are allowed. Prior docetaxel for
metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer is allowed if ≥4 weeks have elapsed from
the last dose of docetaxel prior to day 1 of Cycle 1

- For Cohort B: Has received prior treatment with either abiraterone acetate or
enzalutamide (but not both) in the prechemotherapy mCRPC state. Participants in Cohort
B must have received at least 4 weeks of either abiraterone or enzalutamide treatment
(but not both) who failed treatment or became intolerant of the drug

- For Cohort C: Has received prior treatment with abiraterone acetate in the
pre-chemotherapy mCRPC state without prior enzalutamide. Participants in Cohort C must
have received at least 4 weeks of abiraterone treatment who failed treatment or become
intolerant of the drug. Participants who received abiraterone acetate in the
hormone-sensitive state will not be eligible

- For Cohort D: Has not received chemotherapy for mCRPC and has either not had prior
second generation hormonal manipulation for mCRPC OR has previously been treated with
enzalutamide for mCRPC and failed treatment or has become intolerant of the drug.
Prior docetaxel for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer is allowed if ≥4
weeks have elapsed from the last dose of docetaxel. Prior treatment with abiraterone
acetate in the hormone-sensitive metastatic setting is allowed as long as there was no
progression on this agent and abiraterone acetate was not discontinued due to adverse
events (AEs)

- For Cohorts E and G: Has received docetaxel for mCRPC. Prior treatment with 1 other
chemotherapy for mCRPC is allowed. Up to 2 second-generation hormonal manipulations
(eg, abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide or other
next-generation hormonal agents [NHA]) are allowed. Participants who received prior
ketoconazole for metastatic disease may be enrolled. If docetaxel chemotherapy is used
more than once (eg, once for metastatic hormone-sensitive and once for mCRPC), it will
be considered as 1 therapy. Prior docetaxel for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate
cancer (mHSPC) is allowed if ≥4 weeks have elapsed from the last dose of docetaxel
prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1

- For Cohort F, H, and I: Participants must have received prior treatment with androgen
deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic disease. Participants must also have received
prior treatment with an NHA (eg, abiraterone acetate, apalutamide, darolutamide,
enzalutamide, or other NHA) or docetaxel for mHSPC or mCRPC. Prior treatment with up
to a total of 2 chemotherapies for mCRPC is allowed, as well as up to 2
second-generation hormonal manipulations for mCRPC. Participants who received prior
ketoconazole for metastatic disease may be enrolled. Docetaxel for mHSPC is allowed in
addition to docetaxel for mCRPC. If docetaxel chemotherapy is used more than once (eg,
once for metastatic hormone-sensitive and once for mCRPC), it will be considered as 1
therapy.
