What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose decitabine/cedazuridine and possible benefits and/or side effects of decitabine/cedazuridine and enzalutamide in treating patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as decitabine/cedazuridine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Enzalutamide blocks the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Giving decitabine/cedazuridine together with enzalutamide may reverse or help prevent the acquired therapeutic resistance that is observed when enzalutamide is used alone. Drug resistance occurs when cancer cells stop responding to a chemotherapy that had previously been effective.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Decitabine and Cedazuridine
• Enzalutamide

Trial Overview The trial is testing the combination of decitabine/cedazuridine with enzalutamide to determine safe dosages and potential benefits or side effects in treating advanced prostate cancer that resists standard treatment. The goal is also to see if this combo can overcome resistance developed against enzalutamide alone.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Treatment (decitabine and cedazuridine, enzalutamide) Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Patients receive decitabine and cedazuridine PO QD on either days 1-3, 1-4, or 1-5 and enzalutamide PO QD on days 1-28. Treatments repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Decitabine and Cedazuridine is already approved in European Union, United States for the following indications:

Approved in European Union as Inaqovi for:

• Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults who are ineligible for standard induction chemotherapy

Approved in United States as ASTX727 for:

• Adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities precluding intensive induction chemotherapy
