About

This phase II trial studies how well orteronel works in treating patients with metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer. Orteronel may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the relationship between circulating tumor cell (CTC)-based androgen receptor (AR) expression level and >=-50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline following 12 weeks of therapy with TAK-700 (orteronel).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess changes in PSA and CTC levels and time to PSA progression (best response, decline at 12 weeks as continuous variable, etc.) with or without prior docetaxel-based treatment.

II. To assess measurable disease response and time to radiographic disease progression for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with or without prior docetaxel-based treatment.

III. To explore relationships between endocrine and clinical responses.

IV. To confirm the safety of TAK-700 administered without prednisone in patients with metastatic CRPC.

OUTLINE: Patients receive orteronel orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Inclusion criteria

Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care
Patients, even if surgically sterilized (i.e., status post vasectomy), who agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or
Agree to completely abstain from intercourse
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) must be =< 2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN
Estimated creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault formula must be > 40 mL/minute
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500 cells/microliter
Platelet count >= 100,000 cells/microliter
Testosterone < 50 ng/dL
Screening calculated ejection fraction of >= 50% by multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram; metastatic progression on primary androgen-deprivation therapy (medical or surgical castration)
Progression requiring a change in oncologic therapy defined by any of the following:
- Radiographic progression: appearance or increase in measurable lesions on cross-sectional imaging or appearance of one or more new lesions on bone scan * Rising PSA (>= 2 ng/ml) which has risen on two occasions >= 1 week apart
- Clinical progression evidenced by increased pain or other cancer-related symptoms
Patients should have recovered from prior oncologic therapies to a Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) grade =< 1 except stable neuropathy or alopecia at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade =< 2; if rapid clinical progression is documented by imaging, changes in PSA, or symptoms, then study treatment can begin >= 2 weeks from prior therapy; otherwise, the following time periods between prior anti-cancer therapies and study treatment day 1 will apply:
- >= 3 weeks for prior cytotoxic therapies
- >= 4 weeks for flutamide or nilutamide
- >= 6 weeks for bicalutamide
- >= 6 weeks since bone targeted radiopharmaceutical (e.g. samarium-153, radium-223)
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists (leuprolide acetate, goserelin, etc.) or antagonists (degarelix, etc.) should be continued in patients without surgically-induced castrate androgen levels
For chemotherapy naïve castration-resistant prostate cancer who are moderately symptomatic or who have hepatic metastasis: subjects must not be a candidate for docetaxel-based chemotherapy.

Exclusion criteria

History of myocardial infarction, unstable symptomatic ischemic heart disease, ongoing arrhythmias of grade > 2 (NCI CTCAE, version 4), thromboembolic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or symptomatic cerebrovascular events), or any other cardiac condition (e.g. pericardial effusion, restrictive cardiomyopathy) within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug; chronic stable atrial fibrillation on stable anticoagulant therapy is allowed
New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure
Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities of:
- Q-wave infarction, unless identified 6 or more months prior to screening
- Corrected QT (QTc) interval > 460 msec
Patient has received other investigational drugs within 28 days before enrollment
Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 2 years of enrollment, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, an in situ malignancy
Known hypersensitivity to compounds related to TAK-700 or to TAK-700 excipients
Uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medical therapy (blood pressure [BP] of greater than 160 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic at 2 separate measurements no more than 60 minutes apart during the screening visit); Note: patients may be rescreened after adjustment of antihypertensive medications
Known active chronic hepatitis B or C, life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer, or any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with participation in this study
Likely inability to comply with the protocol or cooperate fully with the investigator and site personnel
Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the GI absorption or tolerance of TAK-700, including difficulty swallowing tablets
Prior treatment with >= 3 lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic prostate cancer
Prior treatment with TAK-700
