Phase 3 Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of 177Lu-TLX250 in Advanced Relapsed or Recurrent ccRCC

A Phase 3, Randomized, Multi-Center, Open-Label Study to Compare 177Lu-TLX250 (Lutetium (177Lu) Girentuximab Tetraxetan) With the Investigator's Choice of a Single Agent Therapy in Participants With Carbonic Anhydrase 9 (CAIX) Expressing, Advanced Relapsed or Recurrent Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)

Multicenter Phase 3 study of 177Lu-TLX250 in adult participants with CAIX-expressing advanced, relapsed or recurrent clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Part 1 will evaluate two dosing regimens to determine the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D). Part 2 will compare 177Lu-TLX250 with investigator's choice of monotherapy aligned with Australian standard-of-care.

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of 177Lu-TLX250, a CAIX-targeting radioligand therapy, in adult participants with advanced, relapsed or recurrent clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

The study consists of two parts:

• Part 1 (Phase 2a - Dose Optimization): Participants will be randomized to receive one of two dosing regimens of 177Lu-TLX250.

The objective of Part 1 is to determine the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) for use in Part 2.

Inclusion Criteria:

• be aged ≥ 18 years.

• have provided written informed consent, dated and signed by the participant prior to any study-specific procedure;

• have relapsed or recurrent, locally advanced, or metastatic RCC with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of RCC with clear cell component per American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual (Edge SB et al., 2017), with or without sarcomatoid features;

• have received at least 2 and no more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapies for locally advanced or metastatic ccRCC including a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (at least 2 administrations) and a VEGF/VEGFR-targeting agent (including TKI or mAb) in sequence or in combination;

• have had radiographic disease progression occurring during or after the most recent line of therapy or intolerance to most recent line of therapy;

• Bone Marrow:

  • leukocytes ≥ 3,000/µL;

  • platelets ≥ 100,000/µL (platelet transfusion is not allowed within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250); and
  • hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL (red blood cell transfusion is not allowed within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250).

• Liver Function:

  • total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN). For patients with known Gilbert's Syndrome ≤ 3 × ULN is permitted; and
  • alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN or ≤ 5.0 × ULN for participants with liver metastases.

• Renal Function:

  • creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min as measured by Cockroft-Gault formula or directly calculated by 24h urine;
  • have negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (serum); and

Exclusion Criteria:

• have any of the following:

  • visceral metastatic lesions that are ≥ 1 cm that have a CAIX TLR < 1;
  • lytic bone metastatic lesions with a soft tissue component of at least 1 cm with a TLR < 1; and/or
  • at least one metastatic lymph node lesion with short axis ≥ 2.5 cm with a TLR <1;

• received prior 177Lu-TLX250 therapy, any other radioligand therapy, or any prior CAIX-targeting therapy;

• have any known hypersensitivity to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to girentuximab, DFO or DOTA linker, zirconium or lutetium, and/or any excipient in the study drug or radiographic contrast-agents;

• has received G-CSF or erythropoietin within 4 weeks prior to laboratory evaluations at Screening;

• be currently receiving or have received:

  • any radionuclide within 10 half-lives of the radionuclide prior to 89Zr-TLX250 administration;
  • any type of systemic anticancer therapy within 2 weeks before the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250;
  • prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250 (must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities and not currently require steroid treatment); and/or
  • prior palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) within 1-week of the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250 for non-central nervous system disease; NOTE: If the investigator feels that the patient is continuing to receive some clinical benefit from standard-of-care (SOC) therapy, the patient may continue SOC therapy up until 2 weeks prior to dosing with 177Lu-TLX250.

• have known brain metastases, unless these have been treated and stabilized for at least 4 weeks prior to the first administration of 177Lu-TLX250; Note: Participants with a history of brain metastases must have either a head CT with contrast-or brain MRI performed at Screening to document stable disease prior to the first administration of 177LuTLX250.

• be pregnant or intend to become pregnant, breastfeed, or conceive a child during the study period and for at least 42 days after last administration of 89Zr-TLX250 or 6 months after last administration of 177Lu-TLX250, depending on which study drug is administered last to the respective participant;

• Note: Contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies (see Appendix 10.4).

• have active and uncontrolled infections requiring systemic therapy or other severe concurrent disease, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the participant at undue risk or interfere with the study;

• have not had resolution of clinically significant toxic effects of prior systemic cancer therapy, surgery, or radiotherapy to Grade ≤1 (except for laboratory parameters specified above, Grade 2 alopecia, and/or stable Grade 2 sensory neuropathy, according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0;

• have inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.);

• have a life expectancy shorter than 3 months;

• have bleeding or thrombotic disorders or subjects at risk for severe hemorrhage;

• has evidence of a serious active or sub-clinical infection or angina pectoris (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III or IV), significantly prolonged QT interval or other serious illness(es) involving the cardiac, respiratory, central nervous system, renal, hepatic or hematological organ systems, that might impair the ability to complete this study or could interfere with determination of causality of any adverse effects experienced in this study, or which require treatment that could interact with study treatment; or

• have any medical or other condition that in the opinion of the investigator(s) would preclude the subject's participation in a clinical study.
