What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial examines the safety and side effects of a new treatment combination for individuals with advanced prostate cancer unresponsive to standard hormone therapies. The study combines tinengotinib (an experimental treatment) with either abiraterone acetate and prednisone or enzalutamide to determine if it manages prostate cancer more effectively. It targets those whose prostate cancer has spread to bones or soft tissues and who are currently on abiraterone or enzalutamide, but with diminishing effectiveness. Participants should tolerate these medications at standard doses and have been on them for at least 90 days. As a Phase 1, Phase 2 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people and measure its effectiveness in an initial group, offering participants a chance to contribute to groundbreaking cancer research.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

You will need to continue taking your current medication of either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide at the full standard dose to participate in the trial. The trial requires that you have been on one of these medications for at least 90 days before joining.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research has shown that tinengotinib is generally well-tolerated, meaning most people can handle it without serious problems. Studies have found its safety profile to be manageable. When combined with abiraterone acetate and prednisone, it has been safe and tolerable for patients with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. Similarly, when used with enzalutamide, it is considered safe and effective. These studies suggest that using tinengotinib with either treatment may cause only mild or manageable side effects. The findings support the idea that this combination treatment is safe for people, even though tinengotinib itself remains under study. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about these treatments because Tinengotinib offers a new approach to tackling prostate cancer by targeting specific pathways that current therapies, like abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide, may not fully address. Unlike standard treatments, which primarily focus on hormone therapy, Tinengotinib is believed to work by inhibiting certain enzymes involved in cancer cell growth and survival. This novel mechanism could potentially enhance the effectiveness when combined with existing medications, providing a more comprehensive attack on cancer cells. The combination with either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide aims to boost therapy efficacy, potentially leading to better outcomes for patients.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer?

In this trial, participants will receive tinengotinib combined with standard treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Research has shown that tinengotinib, when used with abiraterone acetate and prednisone, can help treat mCRPC. In earlier studies, 46% of patients responded to this combination, and 85% experienced disease control, meaning their cancer stopped growing temporarily. Tinengotinib works by blocking proteins that aid cancer cell growth and survival. Another group in this trial will receive tinengotinib with enzalutamide. Early trials showed that 84.6% of patients had their disease controlled with this combination, with cancer progression delayed for an average of 5.6 months. These findings suggest that adding tinengotinib to these standard treatments might help slow cancer progression. ^{1 2 4 5 6}

Published Research Related to This Trial

Oral abiraterone acetate (Zytiga®) significantly improves overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) when used with prednisone, compared to a placebo.

The treatment is specifically effective for patients who have already undergone docetaxel-containing chemotherapy, highlighting its role as a subsequent therapy in advanced prostate cancer management.

Abiraterone acetate: a guide to its use in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Scott, LJ., Yang, LPH., Lyseng-Williamson, KA.[2021]

In a Swedish observational study of 119 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), abiraterone acetate treatment resulted in similar overall survival rates compared to those seen in the pivotal clinical trial, despite a shorter median treatment duration of 5.6 months versus 7.3 months in the trial.

The findings suggest that while Swedish patients may have characteristics that could limit their treatment benefits, they still achieve comparable survival outcomes, indicating a potentially more cost-effective use of abiraterone in clinical practice.

Oral abiraterone acetate (Zytiga®) effectively inhibits androgen biosynthesis, which is crucial for the progression of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and has been shown to prolong overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival in large phase 3 trials.

In combination with prednisone, abiraterone acetate has a manageable safety profile and is a convenient once-daily treatment option, making it a significant first-line therapy for men with mCRPC.

Abiraterone Acetate: A Review in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostrate Cancer. Scott, LJ.[2019]

In a study of 12 men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were re-treated with abiraterone acetate (AA), only 46% of those who initially responded to AA showed a similar response upon re-treatment, indicating limited efficacy.

The median duration of response to AA re-treatment was short, with a median biochemical progression-free survival of just 2.3 months, suggesting that re-challenging with AA may not provide significant long-term benefits for most patients.

Men with advanced prostate cancer taking abiraterone have a significantly higher risk of major metabolic or cardiovascular adverse events compared to those not on the medication, with a hazard ratio of 1.77.

Enzalutamide also increases the risk of major adverse events, but to a lesser extent (hazard ratio of 1.22), and does not significantly increase the risk of minor adverse events.

Abiraterone acetate, in combination with prednisone, received full FDA approval for treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) based on the COU-AA-302 trial, which involved 1,088 patients and showed a significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) compared to placebo (8.3 months vs. not reached).

The trial also indicated a favorable trend in overall survival (OS) for patients receiving abiraterone acetate, although it did not reach statistical significance, confirming the drug's efficacy and safety profile consistent with previous studies.

In a study of 93 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone acetate (AA), the median survival was significantly longer for chemotherapy-naive patients (36.4 months) compared to those previously treated with chemotherapy (13.4 months).

The safety profile of AA was consistent with previous clinical trials, showing low rates of adverse events like hypokalemia and hypertension, suggesting that less intensive monitoring may be appropriate for patients without these complications after 7.5 months.
