Precision Oncology and Molecular Targeting in Advanced Genitourinary Cancers: Identifying Predictive Markers of Response (The "PROMOTE" Study)
Brief Title
PROMOTE: Identifying Predictive Markers of Response for Genitourinary Cancer
Protocol ID
NCT02735252
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary
This is a tissue and blood collection protocol requiring image-guided biopsies of
metastatic prostate cancer and other genitourinary malignancies including renal cell
carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Whenever possible, a new bone lesion or
new/progressing soft tissue lesion will be chosen for biopsy as opposed to
radiographically stable lesion. Patients will be enrolled in into one of several parallel
cohorts based upon disease status or type and the planned systemic therapy following
baseline tumor biopsy: (A) Androgen signaling inhibition, (B) Immunotherapy, (C)
Radiotherapy, (D) Targeted Therapy/Investigational therapeutic, (E) DNA damage response
pathway, (F) Aggressive variant disease, (G1) Castration-sensitive ADT naïve and ADT < 3
months), or (G2) Castration-sensitive pre-treated with sub-optimal PSA nadir >0.2 ng/ml,
(R) metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic and (U) urothelial carcinoma.
Detailed Description
After performing tumor biopsies and blood collection and processing the biopsies and
research blood for comprehensive molecular analysis using established methods for RNA and
DNA analysis, we will use Pathway Recognition using Data Integration on Genomic Models
(PARADIGM) and Differential Pathway Signature Correlation (DiPSC), computational
approaches to pathway activity and predictive signature identification developed at
University of California, Santa Cruz. We will also collect blood samples (for circulating
tumor DNA, plasma, and serum) and circulating tumor cells from participating patients.
Residual paraffin- embedded blocks, frozen tissue, and blood products (serum, plasma, and
circulating cells) will be stored in a repository for future testing of candidate
predictive markers identified during microarray analysis. We will utilize only Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratories(e.g. Strata Oncology) to
identify genetic mutations within mCRPC tumors to provide genetic information that can be
returned to patient to potentially inform treatment decisions.
Certain genomic sequencing will be performed by Strata Oncology.
Following biopsy and baseline peripheral blood collection, patients will be treated per
investigator discretion, with treatment corresponding to assigned patient cohort and
initiated within 42 days following baseline tumor biopsy and/or research blood
collection. Patients will be evaluated for response to therapy per the standard of care
for their specific disease type; such as with monthly serum PSA measurements (may be done
at UCSF or at local laboratory) and/or restaging scans (bone scan + CT abdomen/pelvis)
(UCSF or local radiology facility). Outcomes on treatment post-biopsy will be recorded,
including maximal PSA decline, date of radiographic progression.
At the time of disease progression by Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria
for prostate cancer patients, or by RECIST v1.1 for patients with metastatic renal or
urothelial cancer, patients may undergo optional repeat assessment for metastatic tumor
biopsy, along with mandatory blood collection for analysis of circulating tumor DNA and
circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Following second biopsy at progression, patients should
continue to be followed for response to subsequent therapy.
Patients will be followed every 6 months for updates on disease status including
post-study therapies and survival status via telephone calls and/or chart review.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- History of histologically confirmed prostate cancer, or other advanced / metastatic
genitourinary malignancies for cohorts R (renal cell carcinoma) and U (urothelial
carcinoma). Participants without histologically confirmed cancer are eligible if
both the treating physician and the study PI agree that the patient's history is
unambiguously indicative of advanced prostate cancer (e.g. high Prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) responsive to Androgen Deprivation Therapy in prostate cancer)
- Radiographic evidence of metastatic disease amenable to image-guided or excisional
biopsy of a metastatic site. Soft-tissue as well as bony metastatic lesions will be
considered acceptable. Participants with locally advanced disease only (where the
biopsy would be of a prostatic mass) are NOT eligible. Biopsy of newly emerging or
progressive metastases is desired and preferable to the biopsy of previously
existing stable lesions whenever possible. Patients without lesion amenable to
biopsy are still eligible, and have the option of re-assessment for potential of
metastatic tumor biopsy upon progression as outlined in the study calendar.
- For participants with metastatic lesion amenable for biopsy:
- Platelets > = 75,000/microliter (μl)
- Prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial
thromboplastin time (aPTT) < = 1.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal
(ULN) within 14 days prior to biopsy.
- Patients on warfarin, aspirin, or other anti-coagulants are eligible provided they
are deemed able to tolerate discontinuation of anti-coagulation prior to the biopsy
as per usual standard of care. Conversion to low molecular weight heparin prior to
biopsy is permitted per local standard operating procedures, provided there is
agreement regarding the procedure between the treating physician, the interventional
radiologist and the PI.
- Participants with significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorders (e.g type 3
von Wildebrand's disease, acquired bleeding factor inhibitors) are not eligible.
- Age > 18 yrs
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status 0-2
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
- Progression on or following most recent systemic therapy given for:
- Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC)
according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or for
metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) by Prostate Cancer Working
Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria, with progression as defined by one or more of the
following:
1. PSA Progression: PSA level of at least 2 nanograms (ng)/milliliter (ml) which
has risen on at least 2 separate measurements, at least one week apart (for
prostate cancer participants only)
2. Disease progression by RECIST v1.1
3. Bone scan progression: the appearance of >= 2 new lesions (for prostate cancer
participants only)
4. Symptomatic progression in an area of radiologically evident disease
- For prostate cancer participants only, serum testosterone < 50 ng/dL. Participants
without prior bilateral orchiectomy are required to remain on Luteinizing
hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue for duration of study. Participants with
previously documented denovo primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate are exempt
from this criterion. If serum for analysis of testosterone level has been collected
but result not available by day of scheduled baseline biopsy, patient may still be
eligible for study participation upon at the discretion of the Principal
Investigator
- Participants must possess one of the following criteria:
1. Planned treatment within 42 days following baseline tumor biopsy and/or
research blood collection with androgen signaling inhibitor excluding
enzalutamide (cohort A), immunotherapy (cohort B), radiotherapy (cohort C),
investigational therapeutic (cohort D), or agent targeting the DNA repair
pathway including but not limited to platinum chemotherapy or poly adenosine
diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition (cohort E). Therapeutic
combinations are allowed and as treatment may fall into more than one category,
cohort assignment will be per PI discretion.
2. Aggressive variant cancer (cohort F), defined by one or more of the following:
- Presence of one or more visceral organ metastases
- Serum neuron specific enolase and/or chromogranin A >ULN
- Progression by PCWG2 criteria within 12 months following initiation of
primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) +/- chemotherapy for metastatic
hormone sensitive prostate cancer
- Prior histologic evidence of small cell and/or intermediate atypical
carcinoma differentiation
- Presence of advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (Cohort R) with planned
treatment with a novel agent such as a targeted agent within 42 days following
baseline tumor biopsy. Therapeutic combinations are allowed and as treatment may
fall into more than one category, cohort assignment will be per PI discretion
- Presence of advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Cohort U) with planned
treatment with a novel agent such as an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) or a targeted
agent within 42 days following baseline tumor biopsy. Therapeutic combinations are
allowed and as treatment may fall into more than one category, cohort assignment
will be per PI discretion.
- Additional inclusion criteria for (cohort G): Metastatic hormone-naïve prostate
cancer who are planning to start (Group 1) or currently receiving (Group 2) androgen
deprivation therapy. The use of chemotherapy or other investigational agents is
allowed but not required in both Group 1 and Group 2.
- Group 1 (ADT naïve and on ADT < 3 months): Participants who have not received
LHRH analogue, LHRH antagonist or any anti-androgen for metastatic disease.
Participants who have received ADT in the past 3 months will be included. Prior
use of androgen deprivation therapy in the (neo)adjuvant, salvage, or
biochemically recurrent setting is allowed provided the last day of effective
androgen deprivation was more than 12 months prior to study entry. Androgen
deprivation therapy must be planned to start within 28 days of baseline tumor
biopsy.
- Group 2 (ADT Pre-Treated with sub-optimal PSA nadir): Participants who have
initiated androgen deprivation therapy (including LHRH agonists, antagonists
and/or anti-androgens) for metastatic prostate cancer within 6-12 months prior
to study entry who have suboptimal serum PSA nadir > 0.2 ng/mL.
