Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, ZEN003694, to see if it is more effective than the current standard of care, enzalutamide, in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed on prior abiraterone. Patients will be randomized to receive either ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide or enzalutamide monotherapy. The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) by PCWG3 criteria.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer that worsened after abiraterone treatment. They must have low testosterone levels and not be candidates for chemotherapy or refuse it. There are two groups: one had a poor response to abiraterone, the other had a better response.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study is testing ZEN003694 combined with enzalutamide against enzalutamide alone in men whose prostate cancer has progressed despite previous treatment with abiraterone. It's an open-label trial where patients know which treatment they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of ZEN003694 and enzalutamide include fatigue, digestive issues, skin reactions, hormonal changes like hot flashes, high blood pressure, and potential risks to heart health.

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Cohort B - ZEN003694 + EnzalutamideExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will be administered enzalutamide (160 mg) orally once daily for 21 days prior to the initiation of the combination therapy (Lead-in) to reach steady state concentration (Css) prior to Cycle 1. After the Lead-in, ZEN003694 (72 mg) will be administered orally one daily in combination with daily enzalutamide for 28-day cycles.
Group II: Cohort A - ZEN003694 + EnzalutamideExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will be administered enzalutamide (160 mg) orally once daily for 21 days prior to the initiation of the combination therapy (Lead-in) to reach steady state concentration (Css) prior to Cycle 1. After the Lead-in, ZEN003694 (72 mg) will be administered orally one daily in combination with daily enzalutamide for 28-day cycles.
Group III: Cohort B - EnzalutamideActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will be administered enzalutamide (160 mg) orally once daily for 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (Lead-in). After the Lead-in, patients will be administered enzalutamide 160 mg orally once daily for 28-day cycles. Active control patients will have the option to cross-over to treatment with ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide upon confirmed radiographic progression by PCWG3 criteria by independent central review.
Group IV: Cohort A - EnzalutamideActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will be administered enzalutamide (160 mg) orally once daily for 21 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (Lead-in). After the Lead-in, patients will be administered enzalutamide 160 mg orally once daily for 28-day cycles. Active control patients will have the option to cross-over to treatment with ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide upon confirmed radiographic progression by PCWG3 criteria by independent central review.
