Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer (individuals with primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of prostate are excluded)
- Must have documented progressive disease by meeting at least one of the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 Criteria
- Castration resistant disease defined as ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue or bilateral orchiectomy and serum testosterone level ≤ 1.73 nmol/l (50 ng/dL) at screening visit. Individuals who have not had a bilateral orchiectomy must have a plan to maintain effective GnRH-analogue therapy for the duration of the trial.
- Metastatic disease documented by bone lesions on bone scan or by measurable soft tissue disease by computerized tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI). Patients whose disease spread is limited to regional pelvic lymph nodes are not eligible
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 1
Adequate organ function defined as follows:
- Hematologic: Platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L (without platelet transfusion or any growth factors within previous 7 days of the hematologic laboratory values obtained at screening visit)
- Hepatic: Aspartate transaminase (AST) / Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (if liver metastases are present, ≤ 5 x ULN); Total or conjugated bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Renal: Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min as calculated by the Cockroft-Gault method
- Coagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.2
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Known brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease
- Myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification > Class II), unstable angina, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia within the last 6 months of Cycle 1 Day 1
- Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of alobresib, including any unresolved nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that is Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade > 1
- Anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy) within 21 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of study drug dosing (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C, or molecular agents with t1/2 > 10 days); concurrent use of an luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist is permitted for all individuals and ongoing enzalutamide is required in Group 3.
- History of long QT syndrome or whose corrected QT interval (QTc) measured (Fridericia method) at screening is prolonged (> 450 ms).
- Prior exposure to bromodomain (BET) inhibitors
- Clinically significant bleeding within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive
- Use of moderate/strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 inhibitors or moderate/strong CYP3A4 inducers within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug (with the exception of enzalutamide in the combination arms)
- Evidence of bleeding diathesis
- History of hemoptysis of ≥ 2.5 mL/1 teaspoon within 6 months of Cycle 1 Day 1
- History of high grade esophageal or gastric varices
- Anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy within 7 days of Cycle 1 Day 1, including low molecular weight heparin, or warfarin.
NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria may apply.

Alobresib + Enzalutamide Dose Expansion (Group 3)
Participants who have progressed on either abiraterone and/or enzalutamide will be enrolled to receive increasing doses of alobresib up to 9 mg to determine the MTD.
Following a two week lead-in with enzalutamide once daily, participants who have progressed on abiraterone will receive less than or equal to MTD of alobresib in combination with enzalutamide 160 mg once daily. Based on observed pharmacokinetics (PK) interaction, toxicity, and tolerability observed in the single agent dose escalation, the dose of alobresib may be increased.
Participants will receive a dose less than or equal to MTD of alobresib (based on safety, pharmacodynamics (PD), and tolerability).
Participants will receive a dose less than or equal to MTD of alobresib plus enzalutamide (based on safety, PD, and tolerability).
Participants will receive alobresib plus enzalutamide (dose will be equivalent to the dose chosen for Group 2).
