About
This is a Phase I multi-center, open-label, study of DST-2970 to determine the MTD, overall safety/tolerability, PK/pharmacodynamic parameters, and efficacy in prostate cancer patients.The study will include a dose escalation phase followed by a dose expansion phase. Each cohort will consist of a "run-in" period to assess pharmacokinetic trough, as well as C1hour, C2hour, and C3hour levels of standard of care abiraterone acetate, followed by a minimum of an 80-hour washout (treatment delay), then initiation of treatment with DST-2970.
The patient population that will be evaluated in this study include patients with castration sensitive or castration resistant prostate cancer who experience a rising PSA, with or without radiographic progression, while taking abiraterone acetate.
In this protocol, "initial PSA response to abiraterone" is defined as having a ≥ 30% drop in PSA levels (confirmed by a second PSA level one month later) during the first 6 months of treatment with abiraterone. These patients who subsequently experience a rise in PSA while on abiraterone are considered as having "acquired resistance" to abiraterone in the context of this protocol. Patients not meeting the definition of having an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" are considered as having "primary resistance" to abiraterone in the context of the protocol.
In the dose escalation phase, all patients with a rising PSA can be enrolled, whether they had an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" or never responded to abiraterone.
Two expansion cohorts will be opened. One expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" within the first 6 months of treatment as defined above, but subsequently progressed by PSA with or without radiographic progression. A second expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did not achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" as defined above but have PSA progression with or without radiographic progression.
The rationale of the study is to determine if the better bioavailability of DST-2970 will overcome resistance to abiraterone acetate experienced in these two clinical settings.
In all cohorts, treatment will continue until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, investigator and/or sponsor decision, intercurrent illness or patient withdrawal of consent.
Patients will be monitored regularly with physical examination and laboratory tests.

Exclusion criteria
For the Expansion Cohorts:
History of failure after previous treatment with any androgen receptor blockers at any time (e.g., enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide)
a. Escalation Cohort: enzalutamide not excluded
Patients who had received previous therapy with ketoconazole for prostate cancer, lasting more than 7 days.
Have a corrected QT interval (using Fridericia's correction formula) (QTcF) of >450 msec in men
Have not recovered from adverse events (must be Grade ≤1) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
Known hypersensitivity to any study drug component, or experienced grade 3 toxicity or higher with abiraterone acetate.
Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers unless these can be discontinued before enrollment into the study.
Concomitant use of sensitive CYP2D6 and CYP2C8 substrates unless these can be discontinued during the study (see Appendix 5)
Any concomitant condition that in the opinion of the investigator could compromise the objectives of this study and the patient's compliance.
