Brief summary

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, open-label, controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib given in combination with atezolizumab versus a second novel hormonal therapy (NHT) in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously been treated with one, and only one, NHT for their prostate cancer disease.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cabozantinib (XL184) in combination with atezolizumab versus a second NHT (abiraterone or enzalutamide) in subjects with mCRPC who have previously been treated with one, and only one, NHT (e.g. abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide) to treat metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), non-metastatic CRPC (M0 CRPC), or mCRPC, and who have measurable extrapelvic disease. The multiple primary efficacy endpoints comparing the experimental arm and control arm are Duration of Progression Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 by Blinded Independent Radiology Committee (BIRC) and Duration of Overall Survival (OS). The secondary efficacy endpoint is Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 per BIRC.

Inclusion criteria

* Men with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate * Prior treatment with one, and only one, NHT (eg, abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide) for castration-sensitive locally advanced (T3 or T4) or mCSPC, M0 CRPC, or mCRPC * Surgical or medical castration, with serum testosterone ≤ 50 ng/dL (≤ 1.73 nmol/L) at screening * Measurable (extrapelvic soft tissue) metastatic disease per Investigator assessment defined by at least one of the following: measurable visceral disease (eg, adrenal, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, spleen) per RECIST 1.1; OR measurable extrapelvic adenopathy (ie, adenopathy above the aortic bifurcation) * Progressive disease at study entry as defined by specific criteria for prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression OR soft tissue disease progression in the opinion of the Investigator (Note: subjects with bone disease progression alone are not eligible) * Age ≥ 18 years old or meeting country definition of adult, whichever is older, on the day of consent * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy in the opinion of the Investigator * Adequate organ and marrow function based upon specific laboratory assessments obtained within 21 days prior to randomization * Understanding and ability to comply with protocol requirements

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluable Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by Blinded Independent Radiology Committee (BIRC)Up to a maximum of approximately 30 months (Median duration of follow-up was 14.31 months)Duration of PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the earlier of either the date of radiographic progression (defined as progressive disease \[PD\] per RECIST 1.1) per BIRC or the date of death due to any cause. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, with an absolute increase of ≥ 5 mm, unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and/or the appearance of new lesions.
Duration of Overall Survival (OS)Up to a maximum of approximately 45 months (Median duration of follow-up was 24.05 months)Duration of OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. For participants, who were not known to have died at the time of data cutoff and were permanently lost to follow-up, duration of OS was censored at the earlier of the following dates: date the participant was last known to be alive or date of full withdrawal of consent (including survival follow-up), or date of data cutoff. OS was calculated as earlier of date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Experimental Arm: Cabozantinib and Atezolizumab
Participants with mCRPC received cabozantinib 40 mg as oral tablets QD throughout the treatment period. Participants also received atezolizumab 1200 mg as an IV infusion once every 3 weeks, administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle throughout the treatment period. Participants received study treatment as long as they continued to experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator or until there was unacceptable toxicity, the need for subsequent systemic anticancer treatment, or any other reasons for the treatment discontinuation.
289
Control Arm: Second NHT
Participants with mCRPC received either abiraterone 1000 mg as oral tablets QD and prednisone 5 mg as oral tablets BID or enzalutamide 160 mg as oral tablets QD throughout the treatment period. Participants received study treatment as long as they continued to experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator or until there was unacceptable toxicity, the need for subsequent systemic anticancer treatment, or any other reasons for the treatment discontinuation.

Duration of Overall Survival (OS)

Duration of OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. For participants, who were not known to have died at the time of data cutoff and were permanently lost to follow-up, duration of OS was censored at the earlier of the following dates: date the participant was last known to be alive or date of full withdrawal of consent (including survival follow-up), or date of data cutoff. OS was calculated as earlier of date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375

Time frame: Up to a maximum of approximately 45 months (Median duration of follow-up was 24.05 months)
