A randomized, open-label Phase I/II study of neoadjuvant treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 radioligandtherapy (LuPSMA) with or without Ipilimumab in participants with very high-risk prostate cancer who are candidates for Radical Prostatectomy.
A randomized, open-label Phase I/II study of neoadjuvant treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 radioligandtherapy (LuPSMA) with or without Ipilimumab in participants with very high-risk prostate cancer who are candidates for Radical Prostatectomy. The study will be initiated by a safety cohort regarding the \[177Lu\]Lu- PSMA-617 dose including 6 to 12 patients, who will receive combination therapy with \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 and Ipilimumab. The Safety-Run-In-Phase follows a "none of three or one of six patients experienced intolerable events" approach per dose level. That is: The first 3 patients will receive 4 courses of ipilimumab (3 mg/kg) and 2 courses of 3.7 GBq \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617. If no more than one of these patients develop grade 4 adverse reactions (ARs) without recovery within 3 weeks, another 3 patients will receive the same dosage. If no grade 4 AEs are observed in this second set of patients, we will enroll an additional 3 patients to increase the \[177Lu\]LuPSMA 617 dose to 7.4 GBq. If no more than one of those patients develop grade 4 ARs without recovery within 3 weeks back to grade ≤1 or to baseline values, another 3 patients will receive the same increased dosage. Provided that these patients do not develop grade 4 ARs, randomization of patients will be started. If the "none of three or one of six patients experienced intolerable events" approach per dose level is not passed the study will be terminated at this point. 46 patients with newly diagnosed very high-risk prostate cancer will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio (Ipilimumab + \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA- 617 vs. \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 alone) to receive 2 cycles of 7,4 GBq \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 with or without 4 cycles of concomitant Ipilimumab 3mg/kg prior to prostatectomy. Radioligandtherapy will be given at 6 weeks intervals while ipilimumab will be given every 3 weeks. For application of ipilimumab and \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 within one cycle (week 1 and 7), \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 is administered on day 1 and ipilimumab on day 3. ADT will be applied to all patients during the neoadjuvant treatment phase.

Feasibility to perform prostatectomy on time
Feasibility will be defined as the ability to perform prostatectomy in at least 75% of the Analysis population 85 days after start of neoadjuvant treatment with a maximum delay by 3 weeks. A treatment arm will be deemed not feasible in the actual study if \>25% of patients of that arm required a delay of surgery \>3 weeks.
Time frame: During the intervention/procedure
Clinical activity: Proportion of participants in the full analysis set who achieve a pCR
The proportion of participants in the full analysis set who achieve a pathological complete response (pCR). The assessment of pCR will be reviewed by the central pathologist for all randomized patients with Radical Prostatectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy conducted. The proportion of participants in the full analysis set who achieve a MRD. The assessment of MRD will be reviewed by the central pathologist for all randomized patients with Radical Prostatectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy conducted.
Time frame: After surgery
Safety Profile of neoadjuvant treatment before radical prostatectomy
Characterizing the safety profile of neoadjuvant treatment with Ipilimumab and \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT before radical prostatectomy according to AEs and SAEs measured using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0.
Time frame: Start of neoadjuvant treatment up to 1 year after surgery
Safety Profile of neoadjuvant treatment before radical prostatectomy
Measures of PSA progression-free survival for up to 1 year after prostatectomy.
Time frame: Start of neoadjuvant treatment up to 1 year after surgery
