A Randomized Phase 2 Trial of 177Lu Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody HuJ591 (177Lu-J591) and Ketoconazole in Patients With High-Risk Castrate Biochemically Relapsed Prostate Cancer After Local Therapy
This research is being done because the standard treatments for prostate cancer that has
returned (PSA is elevated) after surgery and/or radiation and progressed on initial hormonal
therapy are not curative. Existing treatments, such as the ketoconazole used as part of
this study may decrease PSA temporarily, but unfortunately the cancer continues to grow.
This experimental drug is designed to seek out all of the prostate cancer cells and to
deliver a lethal dose of radiation to the areas of cancer, but not to normal areas. Some of
the normal organs (liver, kidney and bone marrow) do receive some radiation dose that is
within the acceptable limits.
The experimental drug in this study includes an antibody (abbreviated: mAb) called "J591".
It is a protein molecule which can bind to a specific site on a prostate cancer cell. A very
energetic radioactive (an unstable atom) metal called 177Lutetium (abbreviated: 177Lu) is
attached to the J591 antibody. The fully assembled drug is called "177Lu-J591". The study
will assess the potential of the energy given off by the radioactive compound to kill cancer
cell. This study may also involve the use of 111Indium (abbreviated 111In). This is also
an energetic radioactive particle, but does not generally give off enough energy to kill
cancer cells, but allows researchers to take pictures. This radioactive particle is also
attached to the J591 antibody (called 111In-J591) and will serve as a placebo (treatment
with no active medicine).
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate previously
treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy.
- Biochemical progression (rising PSA) after medical or surgical castration
- High risk of systemic progression defined as:
1. Rising PSA as defined above and either:
2. Absolute PSA > 20 ng/mL AND/OR
3. PSA doubling time < 8 months
- No evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases
- Age >18 years.
- Serum testosterone < 50 ng/ml
- Patients capable of fathering children must agree to use an effective method of
contraception for the duration of the trial.
- Subjects on bisphosphonate therapy must be on a stable dose and must have started
therapy > 4 weeks prior to protocol therapy.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.
Exclusion Criteria:

interfere with determination of causality of any adverse effects experienced in this
study.
