Study to Assess [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-R2 (AAA602) and [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 (AAA802) in Participants With PSMA-positive HRLPC
NeoPSMA
NeoPSMA: A Phase I/II, Open-label, Multi-center Study of Neoadjuvant Treatment With [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-R2 (AAA602) and [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 (AAA802) in Adults With Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Positive High-risk Localized Prostate Cancer (HRLPC) Prior to Radical Prostatectomy and Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection

Brief Summary
The purpose of this trial is to learn more about the effects of AAA602 and AAA802 in men with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive high-risk localized prostate cancer (HRLPC) before surgery to remove the prostate and lymph nodes present in the pelvis area. Lymph nodes are small structures near the prostate that help fight infections. These lymph nodes are removed during surgery because they are a site the disease can spread to.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Phase l)
Incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities.
At the end of cycle 1 (each cycle is maximum 6 weeks)
Biochemical recurrence free survival (BFS) (Phase ll)
BFS is defined as the time from the date of surgery until the date of confirmed biochemical recurrence (PSA \> 0.2 ng/mL on two readings separated by at least 4 weeks measured at least 8 weeks after surgery).
From the date of surgery until the date of confirmed biochemical recurrence or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first assessed to approximately 60 months
Secondary Outcomes (13)
Biochemical response as measured as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)50 (Phase ll)
From screening until the end of neoadjuvant treatment assessed to approximately 6 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR) at 12 months after surgery (Phase ll)
at 12 months after surgery
Change from baseline in domain scores of the EPIC-26 (Phase ll)
From screening to end of long term follow up assessed up to approximately 66 months
Change from baseline on FACT-GP5 item (Phase ll)
From screening to end of long term follow up assessed up to approximately 66 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Phase l & ll)
Month 12, Month 15, Month 18

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adults ≥ 18 years of age.
- Participants must have PSMA-positive disease as assessed by PSMA PET/CT scan using a PSMA imaging agent as protocol instructed, with eligibility being determined by the sponsor's central reading rules.
- Histologically confirmed high-risk adenocarcinoma of an intact prostate, and (a) 1 of the following at diagnosis: Gleason score ≥ 8 and/or PSA ≥ 20 nanogram per milliliters (ng/mL), and/or ≥ cT3a or (b) Gleason score 4+3 and PSA ≥ 20 nanogram per milliliters (ng/mL).
- Adequate organ function:
- Bone marrow reserve:
- White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3.0 x 109/L and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L.
- Platelets ≥ 75 x 109/L.
- Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
- Hepatic function:
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). For participants with known Gilbert's Syndrome ≤ 3 x ULN is permitted.
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN
- Albumin \> 3.0 g/dL
- Renal function:
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min. Note that participants with findings indicating blockage of urinary outflow are not eligible. No evidence of congenital renal abnormalities with known effect on renal function or voiding abnormalities that may interfere, in the opinion of the principal investigator, with the safe administration of the study treatment.
- An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1.
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects taking prohibited therapies as described in the protocol
- Any approved or investigational systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. chemotherapy, investigational therapy, immunotherapy or biological therapy including monoclonal antibodies) administered for the treatment of HRLPC within 28 days (or 5 times the half-life of that therapy whichever is longer) of the anticipated day C1D1.
- Previous treatment with any approved or investigational radioligand therapy, approved or investigational radioisotopes.
- Prior or concurrent radiation therapy of the prostate, other prostate antineoplastic ablative procedures, or hormonal ablation for prostate cancer.
- Diagnosed with other active malignancies that are expected to alter life expectancy or may interfere with disease assessment. Participants with a prior history of malignancy that has been adequately treated and who have been disease free and treatment free for more than 3 years prior to randomization are eligible, as are participants with adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder cancer.
