Enzalutamide and Niclosamide in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT03123978

Description:

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of niclosamide when given together with enzalutamide in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has come back or has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using enzalutamide may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgen the body makes and/or blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Niclosamide may block signals that enhance prostate cancer cell growth. Giving enzalutamide and niclosamide may work better in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of niclosamide when given together with enzalutamide in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has come back or has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using enzalutamide may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgen the body makes and/or blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Niclosamide may block signals that enhance prostate cancer cell growth. Giving enzalutamide and niclosamide may work better in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the safety of niclosamide (PDMX1001/niclosamide) and enzalutamide in patients
      with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

      II. To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of PDMX1001/niclosamide and
      enzalutamide for the treatment of patients with CRPC.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the pharmacokinetics of PDMX1001/niclosamide. II. To determine the number of
      patients who have a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response that is a 50% or more reduction
      from the baseline.

      III. To identify overall responses as determined by the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2
      (PCWG2) criteria.

      IV. To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of CRPC patients treated with
      PDMX1001/niclosamide and enzalutamide.

      V. To evaluate molecular correlatives for patient response and outcomes through the analysis
      of patient baseline tumor specimens (diagnostic biopsy) along with serial blood specimens.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of niclosamide.

      Patients receive niclosamide orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and enzalutamide PO once daily
      (QD) on weeks 1-4. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 months.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the prostate
             (CaP); CaP can be recurrent disease after definitive therapy (radical prostatectomy or
             radiation therapy) for localized CaP, or metastatic CaP

          -  Patients must have CaP deemed to be castration-resistant by one or more of the
             following criteria (despite androgen deprivation when applicable):

               -  Progression of unidimensionally measurable disease assessed within 42 days prior
                  to initial administration of drug

               -  Progression of evaluable but not measurable disease assessed within 42 days prior
                  to initial administration of drug for PSA evaluation and for imaging studies
                  (e.g, bone scans)

               -  Rising PSA, defined as at least two consecutive rises in PSA to be documented
                  over a reference value (measure 1); the first rising PSA (measure 2) should be
                  taken at least 7 days after the reference value; a third confirmatory PSA measure
                  (2nd beyond the reference level) should be greater than the second measure, and
                  it must be obtained at least 7 days after the 2nd measure; if this is not the
                  case, a fourth PSA measurement is required to be taken and be greater than the
                  second measure

          -  Measurable disease is not required:

               -  Patients who have measurable disease must have had X-rays, computed tomography
                  (CT) scans or physical examinations used for tumor measurement completed within
                  28 days prior to initial administration of drug

               -  Patients must have non-measurable disease (such as nuclear medicine bone scans)
                  and non-target lesions (such as PSA level) assessed within 28 days prior to
                  initial administration of drug

               -  Soft tissue disease that has been radiated within two months prior to
                  registration is not assessable as measurable disease; soft tissue disease that
                  has been radiated two or more months prior to registration is assessable as
                  measurable disease provided that the lesion has progressed following radiation;
                  as the biology of previously irradiated tumors may be different from
                  non-irradiated tumors, patients must have at least one measurable lesion outside
                  the previously irradiated region in order to be considered to have measurable
                  disease

               -  If PSA is the only indicator of disease without any evidence of metastasis, PSA
                  value must be 5.0 or higher

          -  Expression of AR-V7 is not required as expression of AR-V7 can occur during
             enzalutamide and contribute to resistance to enzalutamide

          -  Patients must have been surgically or medically castrated; if the method of castration
             was luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists (leuprolide or goserelin) or
             antagonists (degarelix), then the patient must be willing to continue the use of LHRH
             agonists or antagonists; serum testosterone must be at castration levels (< 50 ng/dL)
             within 3 months prior to registration

          -  Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial
             because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic
             dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events

          -  History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
             composition to enzalutamide or PDMX1001/niclosamide
