FOR46 and Enzalutamide for the Treatment of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
This phase Ib/II trial studies the effect of FOR46 and enzalutamide in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). FOR46 is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. FOR46 is a monoclonal antibody linked to a chemotherapy drug. FOR46 is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD46 receptors, and delivers the chemotherapy to kill them. Enzalutamide blocks testosterone from reaching prostate cancer cells by binding to a receptor on the prostate cancer cells, called androgen receptors. This may slow the growth of the tumor cells and may cause them to shrink. Giving FOR46 and enzalutamide may work better in treating metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

- Individuals with concurrent second malignancy requiring active treatment at study entry. Non-melanoma skin cancer, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, and other carcinomas-in-situ are allowable exceptions
- Patients must agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 60 days after last administration of study treatment. Adequate contraception includes: * Patients who are sexually active should consider their female partner to be of childbearing potential if she has experienced menarche and is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea > 24 consecutive months) or has not undergone successful surgical sterilization. Even women who use contraceptive hormones (oral, implanted, or injected), an intrauterine device, or barrier methods (diaphragms, condoms, spermicide) should be considered to be of childbearing potential * Acceptable methods of contraception include continuous total abstinence, or double-barrier method of birth control (e.g. condoms used with spermicide, or condoms used with oral contraceptives). Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
Exclusion Criteria
- Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose of FOR46
- Prior treatment with FOR46 or another CD46-targeting therapeutic agent
- Prior histologic evidence of de novo or treatment-emergent small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Pathologic assessment of baseline tumor biopsy performed during screening is not required for determination of study eligibility
- Cardiac condition as defined as one or more of the following: * Uncontrolled supraventricular arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment * New York Heart Association (NYHA) congestive heart failure class III or IV * History of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1)
- History of seizure or pre-disposing condition including: * History of brain metastasis * Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months prior to study entry * History of intracranial hemorrhage
- History of pneumonitis

EXPLORATORY (CORRELATIVE) OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the association between tumor characteristics including androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional signature score with clinical outcomes.

OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib, dose-escalation study of FOR46 followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive FOR46 intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 and enzalutamide orally (PO) on days -14 to 21 of cycle 1 and on days 1-21 of remaining cycles. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT), bone scan, PET, and collection of blood and tissue samples throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then every 90 days thereafter.
