About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether PDS01ADC with docetaxel is safe and can help slow prostate cancer that has spread. It is for men age 18 and older whose cancer still responds to hormone-lowering treatment or no longer responds. Men whose cancer still responds also receive abiraterone.
Background: Metastatic castration sensitive and castration resistant prostate cancer (mCSPC and mCRPC) are prostate cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. Use of the drug docetaxel with androgen deprivation therapy can improve survival for men with mCSPC. Researchers want to see if combining this treatment with other drugs can help delay the time it takes for mCSPC and mCRPC to get worse. Objective: To learn if giving docetaxel with PDS01ADC is safe and effective for men with prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men age 18 and older with mCSPC or mCRPC. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their diagnosis will be confirmed. Their symptoms and how well they do their normal activities will be reviewed. They will have blood and urine tests. Their heart will be evaluated. They will have imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They will have bone scans with intravenous (IV) injections of Tc99 to check for tumor spread in the bones. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants may have tumor biopsies. Participants will get treatment in cycles. Each cycle will last 21 days. They will get docetaxel through IV infusion. They will get PDS01ADC as an injection under the skin. Participants with mCSPC will have up to 6 cycles. Those with mCRPC will be treated until they cannot tolerate the side effects or their disease gets worse. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Those with mCSPC will then have follow-up visits at the clinic every 3 months.

Eligibility
Who can join
- Be a man age 18 or older with prostate cancer confirmed by a tissue test or report, and cancer spread shown on scans.
- If cancer still responds to hormone-lowering treatment: have started that treatment within the past 134 days. One study group requires cancer in an internal organ or at least 4 bone spots, including one outside the spine and pelvis.
- If cancer no longer responds: need hormone-lowering treatment unless the testicles were removed, and have already taken a newer hormone-blocking drug.
- If cancer no longer responds: it must not have worsened during earlier docetaxel treatment for hormone-sensitive cancer or within 3 months after finishing it.
- Be able to care for yourself and be out of bed or a chair for at least half the day. Side effects from past treatment must be mild or gone.
- Have blood counts, blood clotting, liver function, and kidney function that meet study limits.
- If sexually active, agree to use condoms or another accepted barrier birth control method during treatment and for 4 months after the last study drug dose.
- Be able to understand and sign the consent form, and be willing to travel to NIH for follow-up visits.
Who can't join
- Have HIV, certain immune system problems, or active disease in which the immune system attacks the body. Some past immune conditions are allowed. Positive hepatitis B or C blood tests also exclude you.
- Have a serious illness that would prevent study treatment, or uncontrolled blood pressure above 170/105.
- Take certain urinary symptom drugs, products that change PSA blood test results, or drugs that interact with study treatment. Some interacting drugs require a waiting period.
- Received an experimental drug within 28 days before treatment, or within 60 days for an antibody-linked cancer drug; or received or plan to receive a live vaccine in the 30 days before treatment.
- Previously received docetaxel for cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. If cancer still responds, any past docetaxel or failure to start abiraterone within 6 weeks of hormone-lowering treatment excludes you.
- Have had an allergic reaction to drugs similar to PDS01ADC or other study drugs.
- Had another active cancer needing whole-body treatment within the past 3 years, except certain skin cancers or cancer limited to the bladder's inner lining.
- Have active cancer spread to the brain or the space around the spinal cord, or moderate or worse nerve damage in the hands or feet.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Participants must have documented histopathological confirmation of prostate cancer. If no pathologic specimen is available, participants may enroll with a pathologist's report showing a histologic diagnosis of prostate cancer and a clinical course consistent with the disease. * Participants must have metastatic disease, defined as at least one lesion on TC99 bone scan or at least one lesion that is measurable per, per RECIST 1.1. * mCSPC participants: * Participants must be within 134 days of starting ADT. * If participants are on ADT and responding, this may impact the findings on scans. Pre- treatment scans could be used to confirm that participants have metastatic high-volume disease in such cases. * For Cohorts 1 and 2, Dose escalation and Safety Run-in, only: mCSPC may have high or low volume disease. * For Cohort 3, Dose Expansion: mCSPC participants must have high volume disease (as defined by visceral lesion or 4 or greater bone lesions, at least one of which is beyond the spine and pelvis). * mCRPC participants: * Must need ADT as part of their cancer therapy (unless previous orchiectomy) * Must have been previously treated with modern anti-androgens such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide. * Must have not had progression while on docetaxel if given for mCSPC or within 3 months of completing docetaxel for mCSPC. * Progression defined as either rising PSA greater than 2.0 ng/ml or radiographic evidence of progression seen on CT scan or TC-99 bone scan. * Toxicities related to prior therapy, including surgery and/ or radiation, must have resolved to \<= grade 1. * Men age \>=18 years.
