Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - AZD0754

Experimental: AZD0754 - AZD0754 monotherapy for treatment of participants with metastatic prostate cancer.


Treatment: Other: AZD0754
Subjects will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to produce AZD0754.

During AZD0754 production, subjects may receive bridging therapy for disease control. Upon successful generation of AZD0754 product, subjects will receive treatment with AZD0754 therapy.

Study treatment will include lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by one dose of AZD0754 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Age

1. Participant must be 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent form.

Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
2. Participants with:

1. A histologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate without known neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features.
2. Castration-resistant prostate cancer as defined by disease progression despite castration by orchiectomy or ongoing luteinising hormone-releasing hormone analogue. Participants receiving medical castration therapy with gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues should continue this treatment during the study.
3. Measurable PSA >/=1 ng/mL AND
4. Evidence of progression within 6 months prior to screening according to one of the following:

(i) Radiographic disease progression in soft tissue based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours Version 1.1 criteria with or without PSA progression as per Prostate Cancer Working Group Criteria 3 (PCWG3) (ii) Radiographic disease progression in bone defined as the appearance of 2 or more new bone lesions on bone scan as per Prostate Cancer Working Group Criteria 3 (PCWG3).
3. Participant has previously received a NHA (ie, abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide) and taxane as part of their treatment for prostate cancer (whether before or in the metastatic castration-resistant setting) or be ineligible for or refuse taxanes.
4. For participants with pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2, they must also have received a PARP-inhibitor or be intolerant of this therapy. For participants with non-BRCA HRR deficiency disease, treatment with a PARP-inhibitor is at the discretion of the Investigator based on a risk/benefit analysis and discussion with the participant.
5. For participants who have high microsatellite instability or deficient DNA mismatch repair they must also have received at least one line of checkpoint inhibitors (ie, pembrolizumab), not be eligible for, or be intolerant to therapy as per NCCN or local treatment guidelines.

7. Minimum life expectancy of > 12 weeks prior to apheresis in the opinion of the Investigator
8. Adequate organ and marrow function.
9. Consent and provision of tumour material to assess STEAP2 expression and other correlative biomarkers retrospectively with pre- and post-treatment biopsies. Fresh baseline and on-treatment biopsies are required unless these are deemed medically unfeasible. If the participant is unable to undergo fresh biopsy, an archival tumour sample will be required (age of biopsy cannot be greater than 10 years).

Radiotherapy within 14 days. However, if the radiation portal covered = 5% of the bone marrow reserve, the participant is eligible irrespective of the end date of radiotherapy. If sufficient washout time has not occurred due to the schedule or PK properties of an agent, a longer washout period will be required, as agreed by AstraZeneca and the Investigator.

1. Protocol-defined LDC
2. Hormonal therapy for non cancer-related conditions (eg, hormone replacement therapy)

Following apheresis, bridging therapy is permitted (if required) as outlined in Section 6.1.2
20. Participants should not have received any live vaccines within 30 days prior to apheresis. Participants can receive coronavirus (COVID)-19 vaccines, at the discretion of the Investigator, following a benefit/risk evaluation for the individual participant and in accordance with local rules and regulations and vaccination guidelines. Note: If a COVID-19 vaccine is administered, it should ideally be done at least one week prior to LDC or after completion of the DLT period.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience
21. Prior treatment with a CAR-T therapy directed at any target or any therapy that is targeted to STEAP2.
22. Participants with a known life-threatening allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to AZD0754 or any of the excipients of the product, including dimethylsulfoxide.
