Enzalutamide and Mifepristone in Treating Patients With Metastatic Hormone Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT02012296

Description:

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of enzalutamide and mifepristone when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic hormone resistant prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide and mifepristone, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. It is not yet known whether enzalutamide is more effective with or without mifepristone in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide and mifepristone, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To establish the safe and pharmacologically active doses of mifepristone and enzalutamide
      to use in combination. (Phase I) II. To determine if mifepristone in combination with
      enzalutamide prolongs time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression compared to
      enzalutamide alone in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. (Phase
      II)

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate the effect of mifepristone on endocrine biomarkers such as serum cortisol and
      thyrotropin.

      II. To determine the effect of mifepristone on enzalutamide clearance and steady state
      enzalutamide exposure.

      III. To determine if mifepristone affects PSA response rate when added to enzalutamide.

      IV. To determine if mifepristone when added to mifepristone prolongs radiographic and
      clinical progression free survival according to standard working group criteria.

      V. To explore the role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and androgen receptor (AR) protein
      expression within circulating tumor cells as a pharmacodynamic biomarker for mifepristone and
      enzalutamide in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

      VI. To explore the expression of GR and down-stream AR/GR targets in metastatic tumor
      specimen prior to combination drug administration and at clinical progression.

      OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

      PHASE I: Patients receive enzalutamide orally (PO) on days 1-57 and mifepristone PO on days
      29-57. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      PHASE II: Patients receive enzalutamide PO for 12 weeks per standard of care. Patients are
      then randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive enzalutamide PO per standard of care.

      ARM II: Patients receive enzalutamide PO and mifepristone PO.

      In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
      toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 1 year.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Recommended phase II dose defined as the highest mifepristone dose in combination with enzalutamide such that < 33% experience dose-limiting toxicity graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (Phase I)
Time Frame:Up to 28 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Adverse events will be summarized by grade and type and compared between groups using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall survival (Phase II)
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Kaplan-Meier curves will be generated and the two treatment arms compared using a logrank test. Median time to event in each group will be estimated along with 90% confidence intervals using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Cox proportional hazards regression models will be fit to assess and adjust for the effects of baseline covariates.
Measure:Radiographic PFS (Phase II)
Time Frame:Time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:The stratified log-rank will be used to compare the two treatment arms with respect to PFS. The Kaplan-Meier approach will be used to estimate PFS distribution and the proportional hazards model will be used to assess the importance of treatment arm in predicting PFS.
Measure:Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of enzalutamide and mifepristone
Time Frame:Baseline; at days 29, 36, 43, 50, and 57 of Phase I; and on days 1 and 28 of Phase II
Safety Issue:
Description:PK parameters will be summarized using standard descriptive methods (means, standard deviations, medians and ranges).
Measure:AR expression within circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
Time Frame:Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:The median/range, mean/standard deviation of expression (relative fluorescence) for AR will be summarized for each patient (intra-patient variability) and for the entire population (inter-patient variability). The components of variability will be estimated using analysis of variance. In addition percent nuclear/cytoplasmic/both cellular localization will be calculated.
Measure:GR expression within CTCs
Time Frame:Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:The median/range, mean/standard deviation of expression (relative fluorescence) for GR will be summarized for each patient (intra patient variability) and for the entire population (inter-patient variability). The components of variability will be estimated using analysis of variance. In addition percent nuclear/cytoplasmic/both cellular localization will be calculated.
