Brief summary

This phase II trial studies genetic and molecular mechanisms in assessing response in patients with prostate cancer receiving enzalutamide therapy. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Studying samples of tissue and blood in the laboratory from patients with prostate cancer may help doctors better understand castration-resistant prostate cancer. It may also help doctors make improvements in prostate cancer treatment.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the correlations between baseline molecular features and pathways and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) change (\</\>= 50% decline) at 12 weeks versus (vs.) baseline. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To measure PSA change at 12 weeks and at each study visit vs. baseline after enzalutamide treatment. II. To measure objective response after enzalutamide treatment. III. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and progression-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival. IV. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and time to PSA progression. V. To identify molecular features and cellular pathways present in tumors from men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that are progressing despite enzalutamide treatment. VI. To explore correlation between baseline molecular features and pathways and changes in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) counts. VII. To explore correlation between baseline molecular features and pathways and objective response. VIII. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and degree of PSA decline at 12 weeks and maximal PSA decline observed while on study. IX. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and time on treatment. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess correlations between cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (cfDNA) molecular features from blood and molecular features and pathways from the biopsy samples. II. To assess correlations between cfDNA molecular features and endpoints in the primary and secondary objectives listed above. III. To assess correlations between cell-free DNA and tumor molecular features and changes in PSA after discontinuing enzalutamide. IV. To explore correlations with baseline molecular features and tissue histology. V. To explore correlations with baseline tissue histology and PSA change, time to PSA progression, time on treatment, progression-free survival, and overall survival. OUTLINE: Patients receive enzalutamide orally (PO) once daily (QD) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a tumor biopsy of a metastatic site at study entry (prior to initiation of enzalutamide) and after the time of progression. Patients may continue treatment beyond progression at the investigator's discretion. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2-3 or 6 weeks and then every 12 weeks thereafter.

Percentage of Participants With a >= 50% Decline in Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) ValueBaseline to 12 weeksThe percentage of participants with a \>= 50% decline in PSA values will be reported with 95% exact confidence interval. For each participant, percentage decline in PSA values are calculated as 100% times the difference between PSA values taken at baseline and 12 weeks divided by PSA values at baseline. Percentage of participants determined as 100% times the number of participants with \>= 50% decline divided by overall number of participants.
Percentage of Participants With Tumor Protein 53 Gene (TP53) Copy Number Alterations and MutationsBaseline to 12 weeksEvaluate the association between PSA response at 12 weeks after initiating therapy, and TP53 copy number alterations and mutations at baseline.

Androgen Receptor (AR) Activity LevelBaseline to 12 weeksMedian Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) AR activity levels of responders and non-responders. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is used to interpret gene expression data. GSEA enrichment score (ES) reflects the degree to which a gene set (GS) is overrepresented at the top or bottom of a ranked list of genes. ES is calculated by walking down the list, increasing a running-sum statistic when a gene is in the GS and decreasing when it's not. Magnitude of increment depends on correlation of the gene with the phenotype. ES is the max deviation from zero encountered in walking the list. Positive ES indicates GS enrichment at the top of the list; negative indicates GS enrichment at the bottom. GSEA calculates NES as actual ES divided by mean (ESs against all permutations of the dataset). Low AR activity has been linked to stemness and lineage plasticity that are recognized as a cause of acquired resistance to AR-targeting therapies.

Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Changes

Number of patients who achieved a 50% or greater PSA decline any time after 12 weeks post-baseline.

Time on Treatment

The association between molecular predictors and survival outcomes (e.g., progression-free survival \[PFS\], disease-free survival \[DSS\] and overall survival \[OS\]) and time on treatment will be assessed using cox regression model.
