Brief summary

This study will test whether BNT324 is safe and works better against metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) than the current standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy, which is docetaxel (given together with the steroid medicines prednisone or prednisolone). The study will include participants with mCRPC that have been previously treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, but with no previous taxane-based systematic chemotherapy for mCRPC. The main goals of this study are: * To find out if BNT324 helps participants live longer without their cancer getting worse (radiographic progression-free survival \[rPFS\]). * To find out if BNT324 helps participants live longer overall (overall survival \[OS\]).

Detailed description

The study consists of a screening period (up to 28 days), a treatment period with 21-day cycles, and an after-treatment period that includes a 30-day safety follow-up period and a long-term survival follow-up period. Treatment continues until the cancer clearly gets worse (in scans, based on blinded independent central review \[BICR\] assessment or investigator's decision), side effects become unacceptable, the participant chooses to stop, or the study ends. Participants are put into one of two groups in a 1:1 ratio, which means they will have an equal chance to be in either treatment group, i.e., BNT324 group, or docetaxel plus prednisone/prednisolone group (current SoC). An independent committee will help ensure participant safety, by regularly reviewing safety and early results. For each participant, the treatment and follow-up periods are projected to be up to \ 58 months.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Are male adults (defined as ≥18 years of age or of an acceptable age according to local regulations at the time of giving informed consent). * Must have documented progressive prostate cancer based on at least one of the following criteria: * Serum/plasma PSA progression, by local laboratory, defined as two consecutive increases in PSA over a previous reference value, each measured sequentially at least 1 week apart. The PSA value at screening is required to be ≥1.0 ng/mL. * Radiographic soft tissue progression as per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1. * Radiographic progression of bone disease: evaluable disease or new bone lesion(s) by bone scan per PCWG3 criteria. * Had previously received one or two prior androgen receptor pathway inhibitor treatments and experienced disease progression during or after a minimum of 8 weeks of therapy. * Must not have received systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy, including taxane-based chemotherapy, for mCRPC. * Must have had prior orchiectomy and/or have ongoing androgen-deprivation therapy and a castrate-level of serum/plasma testosterone (\<50 ng/dL or \<1.7 nmol/L). Participant being treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists must continue such treatment throughout the study. * Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0 or 1. Key

Exclusion criteria

* Have received prior treatment with B7-H3 targeted therapy, including B7-H3 ADCs. * Have uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, as defined in the protocol. * Have a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids or have current ILD/pneumonitis. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
rPFS assessed by BICRFrom randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. rPFS is defined as time from randomization to radiographic disease progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) criteria, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
OSFrom randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. OS is defined as time from randomization to death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to first subsequent therapy (TFTS)From randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. TFST is defined as time from randomization to initiation of the first subsequent systemic anticancer therapy or death, whichever occurs first.
Objective response rate (ORR)From randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. ORR is defined as the proportion of participants in whom a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (per PCWG3-modifed RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR) is observed as best overall response.
Duration of response (DOR)From randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. DOR is defined as time from first objective response (confirmed CR or PR per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by BICR) to first occurrence of objective tumor progression (progressive disease per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by BICR) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time to pain progression (TTPP)From randomization to safety follow-up visit (30 days after the last dose), i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. TTPP is defined as time from randomization to pain progression as determined by Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form Item 3 "worst pain in 24 hours" and opiate analgesic use (Analgesic Quantification Algorithm score).
rPFS as assessed by investigatorFrom randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. rPFS is defined as time from randomization to radiographic disease progression per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 criteria, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time to first symptomatic skeletal-related event (SSRE)From randomization to end of study, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. Time to first SSRE is defined as time from randomization to first occurrence of any of the following SSREs: * Use of external beam radiation therapy to prevent or relieve skeletal symptoms. * New symptomatic pathologic bone fracture (vertebral or non-vertebral). * Spinal cord compression. * Tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention.
Time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression (by central lab testing results)From baseline to end of treatment visit, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. Time to PSA progression is defined as time from randomization to PSA progression per PCWG3 criteria.
PSA response (by central lab testing results)From baseline to end of treatment visit, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm. PSA response is defined as having a post-baseline PSA reduction ≥50% from baseline with a consecutive confirmation assessment at least 3 weeks later per PCWG3 criteria.
Number and percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including Grade ≥3, serious, and fatal TEAEsFrom the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or until start of new systemic anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first, i.e., up to 58 monthsTEAEs by relationship and by arm.
Number and percentage of participants with dose interruptions, reductions or discontinuations of study treatment due to TEAEsFrom the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or until start of new systemic anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first, i.e., up to 58 monthsBy arm.
