E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Have histologically or cytologically confirmed (if acceptable according to local health authority regulations) adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell histology. The diagnosis must be stated in a pathology report and confirmed by the investigator
2. Have prostate cancer progression while receiving androgen deprivation therapy (or post bilateral orchiectomy) within 6 months prior to screening, as determined by the investigator through 1 of the following:
-PSA progression shown by local laboratory values, as defined by a minimum of 2 consecutive rising PSA levels with an interval of ≥1 week between each assessment, where PSA at screening should be ≥1 ng/mL.
-Radiographic disease progression in soft tissue based on RECIST 1.1, with or without PSA progression.
-Radiographic disease progression in bone per PCWG, defined as the appearance of 2 or more new bone lesions on bone scan with or without PSA progression
3.Have disease progression under the following conditions if the participant received anti-androgen therapy prior to enrollment:
-Evidence of progression >4 weeks since the last flutamide treatment.
-Evidence of progression >6 weeks since the last bicalutamide or nilutamide treatment.
4.Have current evidence of metastatic disease documented by bone lesions on bone scan and/or soft tissue disease shown by CT/MRI.
5.Have received prior treatment with abiraterone acetate OR enzalutamide, but not both
-Have disease that progressed through treatment with abiraterone acetate or
enzalutamide for mCRPC for at least 8 weeks (at least 14 weeks for participants with bone progression).
6.Have received no more than 1 previous chemotherapy regimen for mCRPC and have had PD during treatment. If docetaxel chemotherapy has been used more than once, it will be considered as 1 therapy. Prior docetaxel for mCRPC is allowed if ≥4 weeks have elapsed from the last dose of docetaxel prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1.
7.Have ongoing androgen deprivation with serum testosterone <50 ng/dL (<2.0 nM). If the participant is currently being treated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists (in participants who have not undergone orchiectomy), this therapy must have been initiated at least 4 weeks prior to the date of randomization, and treatment must be continued hroughout the study.
8.If receiving bone resorptive therapy, including but not limited to bisphosphonates or denosumab, have been receiving stable doses for ≥4 weeks prior to the date of randomization.
9.Have adequate organ function; all screening laboratory tests should be performed by the central laboratory within 10 days of the first dose of study intervention
10.Be male
11.Be ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
12.Agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 180 days,corresponding to the time needed to eliminate study intervention:
-Refrain from donating sperm.
PLUS either:
-Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle(abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent
OR:
-Agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic
or
-Secondary to medical cause as detailed: Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currently pregnant. Note: Men with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from penilevaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penilevaginal penetration.
13.Also agree to use a male condom when engaging in any activity that allows passage of ejaculate to another person of any sex.
14.The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent/assent for the study. The participant may also provide consent/assent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research.
15.Have provided tumor tissue from a fresh core or excisional biopsy (obtained within 12 months of screening) from soft tissue not previously irradiated. Samples from tumors progressing at a prior site of radiation are allowed; other exceptions may be considered after Sponsor consultation. Participants with bone-only or bone-predominant disease may provide a bone biopsy sample. However, if obtaining a fresh biopsy is not feasible, participants may provide an archival tumor tissue sample after Sponsor consultation. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks are preferred to slides. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue.
16.Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, assessed within 7 days of randomization. |
