Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria 1.PSA > 20 µg/L (ng/mL) 2.Previous or ongoing hormonal therapy for prostate cancer 3.Positive urine culture before treatment with prophylactic antibiotics 4.Ongoing or previous therapy with finasteride or dutasteride in the last 3 months 5.Ongoing or previous invasive therapy for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) (e.g. TURP, TUMT, HIFU, etc.) 6.Use of pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices 7.Metal implant in the pelvis (e.g. hip replacement) that may affect the MRI of the prostate 8.Allergy to Liproca® Depot and its ingredients 9.Severe micturition symptoms (I-PSS >15 or residual urine volume > 150 mL) confirmed by repeat measurement or Qmax< 12 mL/s 10.Ongoing therapy with the anticoagulant Acetyl Salicylic Acid (ASA) (more than 100 mg/day) as preventive anti-thrombotic therapy should be withdrawn temporarily before treatment with Liproca® Depot, as determined by the Investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objectives: •To define the highest tolerable dose of Liproca®Depot for transrectal injection into the prostate •To determine the level of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) reduction for the doses in Stage II ; Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives: •To determine the effect on PSA as a function of time from injection up to 24 weeks after treatment with Liproca® Depot, at four dose levels •To determine the safety and tolerability of a single dose of Liproca® Depot, up to 24 weeks after treatment Open-Label Objectives: •To determine the time to PSA recurrence (defined as a PSA level exceeding at least 100 % of Baseline value) beyond 24 weeks after treatment with Liproca® Depot •To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a second treatment of Liproca® Depot 24 weeks after treatment (using the same dose as the initial treatment) ; Primary end point(s): •The highest tolerable dose of Liproca® Depot •Responder rate, absolute levels and % decrease in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) 20 weeks after treatment for the doses of Liproca® Depot selected in Stage II. A responder is defined as a patient with a PSA decrease of more than 15%. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 20 (5 months)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy Endpoints: •Responder rates, absolute levels and % decrease of PSA level at Week 8, 16, 20 and 24, and PSA nadir. A responder is defined as a patient with a PSA decrease of more than 15%. •MRI evaluation of prostate volume (PV) measured as % decrease versus Baseline and as absolute values •Evaluation of lesions (PI-RADS score) 20 weeks after treatment •Quality of Life (QoL) assessment at Baseline, Week 8, 16, 20 and 24 after treatment Safety Endpoints •Vital signs, chemistry and haematology data, urinary flow (Qmax), residual urine volume, International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), and adverse events, accumulated over the 14 day period after treatment •Micturition status (I-PSS) at Week 8, 16 and 24 •Adverse events will be reported and followed until resolved or until, in the Investigator’s opinion, the condition has become stable and is unlikely to change further •Testosterone levels at Baseline, Week 8 and 24 after treatment Pharmacokinetics •Pharmacokinetic (PK) levels of 2-hydroxyflutamide at Baseline, Hour 2, Day 2, 4, 7 and 14, Week 8 and at End of Study •Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated in all subjects in Stage I and a subset of subjects in Stage II. Pharmacokinetics will be characterized using standard PK variables such as T1/2, Tmax, Cmax, AUC Open-Label Endpoints: •PSA level at Week 32, 40 or 48, or until PSA recurrence (defined as a PSA level exceeding at least 100 % of Baseline value) •PSA level at 8 Weeks and 24 Weeks after the second treatment with Liproca® Depot •All adverse events (AEs) over the full study period after the second treatment and followed until all being resolved •MRI evaluation (including prostate volume) 24 Weeks after the se
