Assess safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of HPN424 in successive cohorts of patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to select the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D), and dosing regimen for further investigation by measuring incidence of DLTs.
Evaluate preliminary clinical efficacy of HPN424 at recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) by determining ORR as measured by bone scans, CT/MRI and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.
Evaluate the overall safety profile of HPN424 administered by IV infusion or SC injection, as measured by adverse events.
Evaluate preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity by measuring PFS.
Evaluate preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity by measuring DOR.
Evaluate preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity by measuring OS.
Evaluate preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity by measuring PSA levels in blood.
Characterize single dose and multiple dose PK of HPN424 following IV administration by measuring levels of HPN424 in blood serum.
Evaluate the immunogenicity of HPN424 by assessing anti-drug antibodies in blood serum.
Characterize the impact of HPN424 on activation of circulating lymphocytes and on systemic soluble immune factors by immunophenotyping of lymphocytes in whole blood and measuring cytokines in serum.
