Study Summary

This dose-escalating phase I trial assesses for the first time the safety, the side effects and the harmlessness, as well as the therapeutical benefit of the new study drug GEM3PSCA in patients with prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) expressing cancer types which failed to respond to standard therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female patients, ≥ 18 years of age
  2. Progressive PSCA positive cancer (urogenital tract (renal, transitional cell,prostate), non-small cell lung) refractory to standard treatments and with no otheravailable standard or curative treatment
  3. Measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)version 1.1
  4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
  5. Life expectancy of at least 2 months
  6. Platelets > 50,000/µl
  7. Hemoglobin > 9 g/dl
  8. Adequate renal and hepatic laboratory assessments
  9. Adequate pulmonary function with oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥ 90 % and no structuralpulmonary disease which might jeopardize patient safety according to judgement of theinvestigator
  10. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥ 45 %
  11. Existing port-system or central venous catheter resp. acceptance of implantation of adevice
  12. A female of childbearing potential may be enrolled providing she has a negativepregnancy test at screening visit and is routinely using a highly effective method ofbirth control resulting in a low failure rate (e.g. hormonal contraception,intrauterine device, total sexual abstinence or sterilization) until 3 months from thelast study drug administration. Male patients must also practice a highly effectivemethod of birth Control
  13. Able to give written informed consent

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Other malignancy requiring active therapy
  2. Non-measurable tumor disease
  3. Patients with active brain metastases (patients with brain metastases or residue afterresection with stable size for 6 months in MRI not older than 8 weeks, afterconsultation with the sponsor, are not excluded from the trial)
  4. Use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to start of trial medication
  5. Use of checkpoint inhibitors (having a marketing authorization) within a washout of 5x t1/2 (half-life); patients with experimental checkpoint inhibitors at all
  6. Other investigational drug within the past 4 weeks before start of trial medication
  7. Patients undergoing renal dialysis
  8. Pulmonary disease with clinical relevant hypoxia
  9. Evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis or history of interstitial lung disease
  10. Cardiac disease: i.e. heart failure NYHA (New York Heart Association) III or IV,unstable coronary artery disease
  11. Active central nervous disease (e.g. Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, seizures) andstroke within last 6 months
  12. Active gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding within the last 6 months unless relatedto underlying malignant disease
  13. Renal outflow obstruction, macroscopic or significant microscopic hematuria
  14. Active infectious diseases considered by investigator to be incompatible with protocol
  15. Major surgery within 28 days
  16. Autoimmune diseases requiring steroids at a dose above 10 mg prednisolone equivalentor other immunosuppressants
  17. Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  18. Psychiatric disorders, drug and/or alcohol abuse
  19. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active/chronic infection withhepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV)
  20. Known hypersensitivity to GEM3PSCA excipients
  21. Evidence suggesting that the patient is not likely to follow the study protocol (e.g.lacking compliance)
  22. Incapability of understanding purpose and possible consequences of the trial
  23. Patients who should not be included according to the opinion of the investigator
