Life expectancy of at least 6 months at screening 14. Patients engaged in sex with women of child-bearing potential agree to use a condom plus another effective contraception method. Patients agree to use a condom when engaged in any

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. For mCSPC patients: any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for metastatic prostate cancer not specified as allowable treatment in Inclusion Criterion 6. For example, prior therapy with apalutamide or enzalutamide is prohibited as well as therapy with an investigational agent as described in Exclusion Criterion 16. 2. For mCRPC patients: a) Prior treatment with abiraterone or enzalutamide is prohibited b) Previous chemotherapy is prohibited with exception of docetaxel treatment as specified in the inclusion criteria 6. 3. Initiation of bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy within 4 weeks prior to the start of study drug/reference product. Patients who are on a stable dose of these medications for at least 4 weeks at the time of starting study drug/reference product will be eligible. 4. Therapy with estrogen within 4 weeks prior to the start of study drug 5. Use of systemic glucocorticoids equivalent to >10 mg prednisone daily. Patients who have discontinued or reduced dosing to the equivalent of = 10 mg prednisone daily within 14 days prior to the start of study drug are eligible 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Establish equivalence between TAVT-45 granules and Zytiga tablets in patients with metastatic Castrate Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC) and metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).;Secondary Objective: Characterize the multiple-dose pharmacokinetic profile of TAVT-45 in a cohort of patients.;Primary end point(s): Efficacy: The primary efficacy endpoint is the comparison of the average of serum testosterone levels on days 9 and 10 between groups (TAVT-45 vs R-AA). Safety: Safety endpoints include incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), and clinically relevant changes in vital signs and laboratory assessments. Pharmacokinetics: For a cohort of up to 8 patients randomized to TAVT-45 and participating in the serial PK sampling on Day 1 and Day 9, the following PK parameters will be determined: a) Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours post dose (AUC0-12) b) Maximum measured plasma concentration (Cmax) c) Minimum measured plasma concentration (Cmin) d) Time to maximum measured concentration (tmax) e) Accumulation ratio (Rac) f) Effective half-life (t½);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Average of serum testosterone levels will be compared between groups on Days 9 and 10. A cohort of 8 patients randomized to TAVT-45 will participate in serial PK sampling on Days 1 and 9.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The key secondary efficacy endpoint is the PSA-50 response, defined as a decrease of =50% in PSA levels from baseline at any time over the 84-day post-treatment period. Other secondary efficacy endpoints are as follows: a) Serum testosterone levels at Days 28, 56 and 84 b) PSA-50 response at Days 28, 56 and 84 c) PSA levels at Days 28, 56 and 84 d) Trough concentrations of abiraterone at Days 9, 28, 56 and 84 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a) Serum testosterone levels at Days 28, 56 and 84 b) PSA-50 response at Days 28, 56 and 84 c) PSA levels at Days 28, 56 and 84 d) Trough concentrations of abiraterone at Days 9, 28, 56 and 84
