About

This is a global, multi-center, open-label, randomized phase 1b/2, active-controlled safety and efficacy study of oral administration of tazemetostat in combination with enzalutamide or abiraterone/prednisone (phase 1b) versus enzalutamide or abiraterone/prednisone alone in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic subjects with progressive, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed on either abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, or apalutamide or who are second generation anti-androgen treatment naive, and who have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC.

This study is designed to determine the recommended phase 2 doses (RP2D) of tazemetostat in combination with either enzalutamide or abiraterone/prednisone, based on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and efficacy profiles.

Enrollment: 102 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Age at the time of consent ≥ 18 years.

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1 (Appendix

3. Life expectancy of > 3 months.

4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Small cell or neuroendocrine tumors of the prostate are also permitted.

5. Progressive disease in the setting of medical or surgical castration (ie, castration- resistant prostate cancer [CRPC]) by PCWG3 criteria for study entry.

   • Evidence of disease progression by rising PSA or
   • Soft tissue progression per RECIST 1.1 or
   • Evidence of disease progression by observation of 2 new bone lesions since the initiation of last systemic therapy.

6. Metastatic prostate cancer disease, documented by the following imaging

   • Bone lesions on bone scan (per PCWG3) or by soft tissue disease (per RECIST 1.1) by CT/MRI imaging Must have undergone bilateral orchiectomy or be willing to continue GnRH analogue or antagonist.

7. Prior treatment with a second-generation androgen inhibitor as follows:

   • For phase 1b, EITHER Previously untreated with or progressed on a second generation androgen inhibitor (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide) OR progressed on a second generation inhibitor (inhibitor (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide)
   • For phase 2 randomized component (i.e, enzalutamide- containing treatment arms) of the study, previously progressed on abiraterone.

Exclusion criteria

1. Known symptomatic brain metastases

2. Treatment with any of the following for prostate cancer within the indicated timeframe prior to day 1 of starting study treatment:

   • First generation: AR antagonists (eg, bicalutamide, nilutamide, flutamide) within 4 weeks.
   • 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, ketoconazole, estrogens (including diethylstilbesterol), or progesterones within 2 weeks.
   • Chemotherapy (except as permitted in inclusion criteria #10) within 3 weeks.
   • Prior radionuclide therapy within 4 weeks.
   • Another interventional product or standard agent in a clinical study within 28 days prior to the first planned dose of Tazemetostat
   • For phase 2 subjects to be randomized to one of the enzalutamide treatment arms only, prior treatment with the second-generation androgen antagonist including enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, and proxalutamide, etc.

3. Severe concurrent disease, infection, or comorbidity that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for enrollment

4. Has had prior exposure to tazemetostat or other inhibitor(s) of enhancer of zeste homologue-2.

102 participants in 4 patient groups

Phase 1b: Tazemetostat in Combination with Abiraterone/Prednisone

Experimental group

Description:

In Phase 1b, abiraterone/prednisone will be administered in combination with tazemetostat in cycle 1 (28 days) to establish the recommended dose of tazemetostat in this combination; participants may continue treatment in additional 28-day cycles, as tolerated, until progression or unacceptable toxicity

Treatment:

Drug: Abiraterone/prednisone

Drug: Tazemetostat

Phase 1b: Tazemetostat in Combination with Enzalutamide

Experimental group

Description:

In Phase 1b, enzalutamide will be administered in combination with tazemetostat in cycle 1 (28 days) to establish the recommended dose of tazemetostat in this combination; participants may continue treatment in additional 28-day cycles, as tolerated, until progression or unacceptable toxicity

Treatment:

Drug: Enzalutamide

Drug: Tazemetostat

Phase 2: Tazemetostat in Combination with Enzalutamide

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will receive the newly established recommended phase 2 dose, orally twice daily when given in combination with enzalutamide) as determined in phase 1b part of the study) or enzalutamide alone. All participants will receive treatment in 28-day cycles.

Treatment:

Drug: Enzalutamide

Drug: Tazemetostat

Phase 2: Enzalutamide only

Active Comparator group

Description:

In Phase 2, Enzalutamide will be administered on cycle 1 day 1
