PATHWAY: A Phase 1b/2a, Multicenter, Open- Label Study of Pocenbrodib as Monotherapy and in Combination With Darolutamide in Participants With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

NCT ID: NCT06785636Sponsor: Pathos AI, Inc.Last updated: 2026-06-10

Summary

This is a dose-finding study to assess the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of Pocenbrodib alone or with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

Detailed description

This is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter, open-label study to confirm the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary antitumor activity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of pocenbrodib for the treatment of participants with mCRPC who have progressed following prior therapy and have been treated with at least 1 potent anti-androgen therapy (enzalutamide, apalutamide, abiraterone acetate, or darolutamide). Phase 1b is a dose escalation and optimization study of pocenbrodib monotherapy and in combination with darolutamide in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in participants (n=80) and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D(s)). Phase 1b consists of three arms: Arm 1 (50-250mg QD 5/2), Arm 2 (continuous monotherapy, 125mg-150mg BID), and Arm 3 (continuous combination of pocenbrodib 125-150mg BID + darolutamide 600mg BID), with DRC safety gates governing study progression between arms. Arm 3 is considered the safety run-in for the combination therapy. Phase 2a is a dose expansion portion of the study to further evaluate the combination of pocenbrodib and darolutamide in participants with mCRPC who have progressed following lutetium-Lu-177-vipivotide-tetraxetan (PLUVICTO) and prior to initiation of taxane-based therapy and will consist of 2 cohorts: Cohort 1: pocenbrodib RP2D high + darolutamide Cohort 2: pocenbrodib RP2D low + darolutamide Safety will be monitored by the DRC
