This study is evaluating a new drug (called EPI-7386) when given in combination with hormone therapy, compared to hormone therapy alone, in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancerA Phase 1/2 Study of EPI-7386 in Combination With Enzalutamide Compared With Enzalutamide Alone in Subjects With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

This study has two phases.

Phase 1 will be a single arm dose-escalation study of a new drug called EPI-7386 in combination with a fixed dose of hormone therapy (called enzalutamide). This portion of the study will primarily evaluate how safe and tolerable this drug combination is, and establish the recommended phase 2 combination doses (RP2CDs) for EPI-7386 and enzalutamide when dosed in combination. 

Once the RP2CD for each drug has been established, Phase 2 of the study will commence. Phase 2 is a two-arm, randomised, open-label study. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups:

  • Group 1 will receive EPI-7386 at the RP2CD + enzalutamide (depending on the results of Phase 1).
  • Group 2 will receive Enzalutamide alone.

The planned dose of enzalutamide and EPI-7386 for the combination arm will be those determined in Phase 1 of this study based on safety anf exposure data.

Both EPI-7386 and enzalutamide will be given orally.
