AZD6621 for adult men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Official title: A Phase I/II Open-label, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of AZD6621, a T Cell-engaging Antibody That Targets STEAP2, CD3, and CD8 in Adult Participants With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07192614 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will try an experimental drug called AZD6621 in adult men with metastatic prostate cancer to see if it is safe, how it moves through the body, and whether it can help control the cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult men with histologically confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma that is castration-resistant, surgically or medically castrated (testosterone ≤50 ng/dL), with PSA ≥1 ng/mL and able to provide a baseline tumor biopsy are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients without metastatic or castration-resistant disease, those unable to undergo tumor biopsy, or those with serious comorbidities that make them ineligible are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 modular trial of AZD6621 in adult men with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. The program uses multiple modules and delivery methods, with Part A performing dose escalation to identify tolerable doses and Part B expanding at selected doses to further measure safety and early anti-tumor activity. Key endpoints include safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and signs of tumor response. Baseline tumor biopsy (fresh or archival) and castrate-level testosterone are required for enrollment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, AZD6621 could offer a new targeted, T cell-engaging option to help control STEAP2-expressing metastatic prostate cancer.

How similar studies have gone: T cell-engaging antibodies have shown promise in other cancers, but AZD6621 is a first-in-human agent for metastatic prostate cancer so clinical benefit in this setting is unproven.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Capable of giving signed informed consent and complying to the study protocol.
2. Provision of signed and dated written Optional Genomics Initiative Research Information and Consent Form.
3. ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form.
4. Participants with:

   1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate
   2. Surgically or medically castrated, with serum testosterone levels ≤ 50 ng/dL (≤ 1.75 nmol/L) ≤ 28 days before first dose of study intervention. Participants without prior surgical castration must be currently taking and willing to continue LHRH agonist or antagonist therapy throughout the duration of the study intervention.
   3. Castration-resistant prostate cancer as defined by disease progression despite castration by orchiectomy or ongoing ADT.
   4. PSA at screening visit ≥ 1 ng/mL.
5. Provision of baseline fresh or archival tumor biopsy of prostate carcinoma is mandatory.
6. Evidence of disease progression within 6 months prior to screening with at least one of the following:

   1. PSA progression defined by a minimum of 3 rising PSA levels with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each determination.
   2. Radiographic progression of soft tissue disease by RECIST v1.1 criteria with or without PSA progression.
   3. Radiographic progression of bone metastasis by PCWG3 criteria with 2 or more documented new bone lesions on a bone scan with or without PSA progression.
7. Part A: Module 1 and Module 2:

   1. Part A: Module 1 and Module 2 prior anti-cancer treatment requirements as stated in study protocol
   2. Pharmacodynamic backfill cohort(s) only: lesion amenable for biopsy and be willing to undergo biopsy, distinct from any target lesion used in the RECIST v1.1 evaluation, unless there are no other lesions available for biopsy.
8. Part B: Module 1 and Module 2:

   1. Part B: Module 1 and Module 2 prior anti-cancer treatment requirements as stated in study protocol.
   2. Participants may have received PARP inhibitors or checkpoint inhibitors per local treatment guidelines.
   3. Sampling Requirements as stated in study protocol.
9. ECOG PS score of 0 or 1.
10. Minimum life expectancy of \> 12 weeks.
11. Adequate hematological, renal, bone marrow, and liver function as documented in the protocol.
12. Body weight ≥ 35 kg.
13. Male, as assigned at birth, inclusive of all gender identities.
14. Contraceptive use by participants or participant partners as documented in the protocol and consistent with local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Any evidence of diseases (such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases) which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study.
2. One or more of the following:

   1. Mean resting corrected QT interval \> 470 ms,
   2. History of QT prolongation associated with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication, or any current concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval and cause Torsades de Pointes.
   3. Congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first degree relatives.
   4. Inadequate cardiac function of LVEF \< 50% on screening cardiac MUGA or ECHO.
3. Cardiac arrhythmias (such as multifocal premature ventricular contractions, bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia), which are symptomatic or require treatment unless controlled by pacemaker; symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia.
4. History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease (≥ 2 years) before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence.
5. History of, or planned organ or allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
6. Unresolved toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy of CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 (exceptions listed in protocol).
