This Phase I/II open-label trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the herbal supplement INM176 in patients with a history of prostate cancer or low-risk disease under active surveillance. The study will determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) and assess the efficacy of INM176 in stabilizing or decreasing plasma PSA levels in post-radical prostatectomy (RP) and post-radiation therapy (RT) patients with rising PSA levels.
The study is designed as a Phase I/II open-label trial to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of the herbal supplement INM176 in intercepting prostate cancer-specific PSA levels. The primary objective of the Phase I stage is to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) through a 3+3 dose escalation design while evaluating the safety of INM176 during a 4-week cycle for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with a history of prostate cancer or those under active surveillance for low-risk disease.
In the Phase II stage, the primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of INM176 at the RP2D in stabilizing or reducing plasma PSA levels after six cycles of treatment in post-RP and post-RT patients experiencing a rise in PSA.
Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluations following the first dose (Cycle 1 Day 1) in both Phase I and Phase II subjects, with an additional PK assessment on Cycle 1 Day 28 for Phase I subjects and on Cycle 2 Day 1 for Phase II subjects. Acute and chronic exposure PK parameters (including Cmax and AUC) will be correlated with safety outcomes and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) efficacy measures, when applicable, stratified by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 metabolizer status.
Additional secondary objectives include evaluation of PSA change from baseline at protocol-specified timepoints; immunophenotyping of blood natural killer (NK) cells and other immune cell subsets; assessment of NK functional activity, plasma IL-8, and select cytokines; and measurement of male hormones and hormone-binding proteins. These pharmacodynamic biomarkers will be analyzed in relation to PSA response and PK metrics, with assessments conducted according to Phase I and Phase II study schedules.

| INM176 Dose Escalation and Tolerability Assessment in phase I and efficacy assessment in phase II | Experimental | Phase I evaluates the safety and tolerability of INM176 using a dose escalation design. Participants will receive INM176 at the following dose levels: Dose Level -1 (400 mg/day), Dose Level 0 (800 mg/day), Dose Level +1 (1200 mg/day), and Dose Level +2 (1600 mg/day). The trial starts with 3 subjects at Dose Level 0. If none experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), 3 more subjects will be escalated to Dose Level +1. If one subject at Dose Level 0 experiences DLT, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled at the same level. Dose Level -1 is considered the maximum tolerated dose if 2 or more of 6 subjects experience DLT at Dose Level 0. The recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) may be the MTD or Dose Level +2 if no DLT is observed. Phase II measures changes in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels from baseline to after 6 cycles of treatment at the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D). PSA level declines from baseline or stays same will be recorded as a positive responder to INM176. |

| INM176 | Drug | The active ingredient INM176 was prepared using a proprietary technology to extract AGN with ethanol and powderize with cellulose into a finished granular powder product that is 1/5 the weight of the raw herbal root. This product was chosen because its close match with the AGN extracts studied in the TRAMP model in the phytochemical profiles. It will be donated from the manufacturer Nutragen Co., Ltd. Korea. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of INM176 after 1, 2, 3,4, 5, and 6 cycles of exposure at RP2D | Safety will be assessed as the combined incidence of adverse events, abnormal safety blood tests, and abnormal ECG readings, expressed as the proportion of participants showing any of these safety concerns following 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 treatment cycles. | 10 months |
| Efficacy of INM176 by Measuring PSA Level Changes After 6 Cycles of Treatment at the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) | This outcome will assess the efficacy of INM176 by measuring changes in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels from baseline to after 6 cycles of treatment at the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D). PSA levels will be monitored at baseline and following each treatment cycle, with a primary focus on the change observed after 6 cycles. The degree of PSA reduction will serve as an indicator of INM176's effectiveness in controlling or reducing prostate cancer activity. | 10 months |
| Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) | The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is defined as the highest dose at which ≤1 of 6 participants experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during Cycle 1 (28 days). Dose-limiting toxicities will be assessed according to CTCAE version 5.0. | 28 days |
| Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) | The Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) will be determined based on overall safety and tolerability, observed dose-limiting toxicities, following dose escalation using a standard 3+3 design. | 28 days |
| Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) | Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are defined as adverse events or laboratory abnormalities that are considered to be related to the study treatment and occur during the first treatment cycle (28 days). DLTs will be evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. The occurrence of DLTs will guide dose escalation decisions and help identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D). |

This is a one-arm, sequential Phase I/II study to evaluate INM176. Phase I uses a 3+3 dose escalation design to find the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on dose-limiting toxicities. Phase II includes two stages: Stage 1 involves 13 subjects to test early efficacy; if ≥1 responds (PSA decline/stabilization), the study moves to Stage 2. Stage 2 enrolls 14 more subjects (total 27) to assess efficacy. A PSA response rate >5% is declared if ≥4 subjects show response. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated with descriptive statistics, linear mixed-effects models, and regression analyses for PK and biomarkers.
