Phase II Trial of Enzalutamide for Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) With Correlative Assessment of Androgen Receptor (AR) Signaling and Whole-exome and Transcriptome Sequencing
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Enzalutamide for Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 67 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
This research study is evaluating a drug called enzalutamide in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is already FDA approved for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer after treatment with chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to analyze features of tumor specimens sampled prior to therapy and at disease progression to determine why patients respond or stop responding to treatment with Enzalutamide. Prior chemotherapy is not a requirement of this trial.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Enzalutamide, formerly known as MDV3100, is a rationally-designed second generation AR inhibitor which functions by blocking several steps in the AR signaling cascade. Enzalutamide competitively binds the AR with great potency. Additionally, enzalutamide inhibits nuclear translocation of activated AR and inhibits the association of activated AR with DNA.
