REGN5678 and Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of REGN5678 and cemiplimab for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that remains despite treatment (castration-resistant). REGN5678 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving REGN5678 and cemiplimab may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate carcinoma.

- To avoid risk of drug exposure through the ejaculate (even men with vasectomies),subjects must use a condom during sexual activity while on study drug and for 6 months following the last dose of study drug. If the subject is engaged in sexual activity with a woman of childbearing potential, a condom is required along with another effective contraceptive method consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects participating in clinical studies and their partners. Donation of sperm is not allowed while on study drug and for 6 months following the last dose of study drug
Exclusion Criteria
- Currently receiving treatment in another interventional study
- Has participated in a study of an investigational drug within 4-weeks of first dose of study therapy
- Has received treatment with an approved systemic therapy within 3 weeks of dosing or has not yet recovered (ie, grade ≤ 1 or baseline) from any acute toxicities except for laboratory changes as described in inclusion criteria or patients with grade 2 ≤ neuropathy
- Has received radiation therapy or major surgery within 14 days of first administration of study drug or has not recovered (ie, grade ≤ 1 or baseline) from adverse events (AEs), except for laboratory changes as described in inclusion criteria or patients with grade ≤ 2 neuropathy
- Has received any previous systemic biologic therapy within 5 half-lives of first dose of study therapy. * NOTE: Prior treatment with sipuleucel-T is permitted
- Patients who have not recovered (ie, grade ≤ 1 or baseline) from immune-mediated AEs 3 months prior to initiation of study drug therapy except for endocrinopathies adequately managed with hormone replacement
- Another malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment, except: * Non-melanoma skin cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy * Any tumor that has been deemed to be effectively treated with definitive local control (with or without continued adjuvant hormonal therapy)
- Concurrent treatment with systemic corticosteroids (prednisone dose > 10 mg per day or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive drugs < 14 days prior to treatment initiation. Steroids that are topical, inhaled, nasal (spray), or ophthalmic solution are permitted
- History of or known or suspected autoimmune disease (exception(s): subjects with vitiligo, resolved childhood atopic dermatitis, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism that is clinically euthyroid at screening are allowed)
- Known evidence of an active infection requiring systemic therapy such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis, or fungal infection. Testing for hepatitis B and C infection will be performed at screening if not previously performed and documented
- History of clinically significant cardiovascular disease including, but not limited to: * Myocardial infarction or unstable angina ≤6 months prior to treatment initiation * Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia * Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke ≤6 months prior to treatment initiation * Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class III-IV) * Pericarditis/clinically significant pericardial effusion * Myocarditis
- Other prior malignancy (exceptions: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer in situ currently in complete remission) ≤ 2 years prior to enrollment
- Encephalitis, meningitis, neurodegenerative disease (with the exception of mild dementia that does not interfere with activities of daily living [ADLs]) or uncontrolled seizures in the year prior to first dose of study therapy
- Known history of, or any evidence of interstitial lung disease, or active, non-infectious pneumonitis (past 5 years)

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of nezastomig (REGN5678) (prostate specific membrane antigen [PSMA]xCD28 bispecific antibody) plus cemiplimab (anti-PD-1) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPC).
II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose or potential recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of REGN5678 (PSMAxCD28 bispecific antibody) plus cemiplimab (anti-PD-1) in patients with mCRPC.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate efficacy of REGN5678 plus cemiplimab in patients with mCRPC.
II. To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) of REGN5678 alone and in combination with cemiplimab.
III. To assess the immunogenicity of REGN5678 and cemiplimab.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate immune responses in the prostate tumor microenvironment (TME) and peripheral blood after treatment with REGN5678 plus cemiplimab as compared to pre-treatment samples.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of REGN5678 followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients receive REGN5678 intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes to 2 hours weekly (QW) for 3 weeks. Patients then receive REGN5678 IV over 30 minutes to 2 hours, and cemiplimab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography during screening and computed tomography (CT) scan, technetium-99m (99mTc) bone scan, receive piflufolastat F-18 IV and undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, receive fludeoxyglucose (FDG) IV and undergo PET/CT, tumor biopsy and blood and urine sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, 90 days then every 12 weeks thereafter.
