A Randomized Phase 2b Study of ZEN003694 in Combination With Enzalutamide Versus Enzalutamide Monotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT ID: NCT04986423Sponsor: Zenith EpigeneticsLast updated: 2026-05-08

Summary

This is an open-label, randomized, Phase 2b study of ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide vs. enzalutamide monotherapy in patients with mCRPC who have progressed on prior abiraterone by PCWG3 criteria. Disease must have progressed on only abiraterone by PCWG3 criteria prior to study entry. The patient population will be separated into two cohorts: Cohort A: Patients with poor response to prior abiraterone defined as: * Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: \< 12 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve PSA nadir of 0.2 ng/mL while taking abiraterone, or; * Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: \< 6 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve PSA50 response while on abiraterone Cohort B: Patients with response to prior abiraterone, defined as: * Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: ≥ 12 months duration on abiraterone and nadir PSA \< 0.2 ng/mL, or; * Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: ≥ 6 months duration on abiraterone and confirmed PSA50 response

  • Cohort A + B: Assess efficacy endpoints for patients enrolled in the USA

    Time frame: Randomization up to 30 months

  • Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Randomization up to 30 months

  • Patient-reported health status and quality of life (QoL) measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Time frame: Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle up to 30 months

  • Patient-reported health status and quality of life (QoL) measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Prostate Module (EORTC QLQ-PR25).

    Time frame: Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle up to 30 months

  • Time to initiation of chemotherapy

    Time frame: Randomization up to 30 months

  • Time to first skeletal related event (SRE)

    Time frame: Randomization up to 30 months

  • Measure plasma concentrations of ZEN003694 and the active metabolite ZEN003791

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1: Pre-dose, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-dose; Cycle 2 Day1: Pre-dose, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-dose

Eligibility criteria

Sex: MaleAge: 18 Years and olderHealthy volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males age ≥ 18 years 2. Metastatic, castration-resistant, histologically confirmed prostate cancer 3. Surgical castration or continuous medical castration for ≥ 8 weeks prior to screening; serum testosterone \< 50 ng/dL confirmed within 4 weeks of first administration of study drug 4. Have progressed on prior abiraterone treatment by PCWG3 criteria 5. Patients who are not candidates for chemotherapy in the opinion of the investigator or patients who decline chemotherapy 6. Cohort A only - Patient must meet definition of poor responder to abiraterone by one of the following: 1. Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: \< 12 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve PSA nadir of 0.2 ng/mL while taking abiraterone 2. Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: \< 6 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve a PSA50 response 7. Cohort B only - Patient must meet definition of responder to abiraterone by one of the following: 1. Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: ≥ 12 months duration on abiraterone and nadir PSA \< 0.2 ng/mL 2. Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: ≥ 6 months duration on abiraterone and PSA50 response 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any history of brain metastases, prior seizure, conditions predisposing to seizure activity 2.
