Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, ARN-509, for safety and effectiveness in men with prostate cancer that has progressed despite hormone therapy. Patients will be enrolled in two phases, with the first phase used to find a safe dose for the second phase.

Who is the study for?
Men with advanced prostate cancer that hasn't spread far, who are on hormone therapy or have had surgery to lower testosterone levels. They should have a rising PSA level or a fast-doubling time for PSA, be fairly active (ECOG 0-1), and expected to live at least 3 more months. Men can't join if they've taken certain drugs like MDV3100 or ketoconazole, have heart issues (QTc > 450 msec), uncontrolled diseases, HIV, brain metastases, been treated with abiraterone, or have seizure risks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ARN-509's safety and effectiveness in two phases for castration-resistant prostate cancer. Phase 1 finds the right dose; Phase 2 tests this dose further in different groups of patients to see how well it works and monitors safety.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects aren't listed here but generally could include typical reactions from cancer medications such as fatigue, nausea, risk of infections due to lowered immunity, potential liver function changes and possibly seizures given the exclusion criteria.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment-naive metastatic CRPC (Phase 2)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with treatment-naive metastatic CRPC will be enrolled. ARN-509 will be administered at MTD and/or RP2D, determined in Phase 1.
Group II: Post-abiraterone metastatic CRPC (Phase 2)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with metastatic CRPC that are chemotherapy-naive, but have been previously treated with abiraterone will be enrolled. ARN-509 will be administered at MTD and/or RP2D, determined in Phase 1.
Group III: Non-metastatic CRPC (Phase 2)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with non-metastatic, treatment-naive Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) with rapidly rising Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) will be enrolled. ARN-509 will be administered at Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D), determined in Phase 1.
Group IV: Dose Escalation Cohort (Phase 1)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
ARN-509 will be administered at a starting dose of 30 milligram per day (mg/day), with escalations to 60 mg, 90 mg, 120 mg, 180 mg, 240 mg, 300 mg, 390 mg, and 480 mg daily. Once Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) has been selected, Phase 1 participants being treated at the lower dose levels will be allowed to escalate to the RP2D level at the discretion of the primary investigator.
