Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine safety, including dose limiting toxicities, and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of EPI-7386 in separate combinations with (a) abiraterone acetate plus prednisone or prednisolone (AAP) and (b) apalutamide (dose-finding) and to determine the antitumor activity of EPI-7386 in separate combinations with (a) AAP and (b) apalutamide (dose-expansion).

Interventions

EPI-7386 will be administered orally once daily.

DRUGAbiraterone Acetate

Abiraterone Acetate will be administered orally once daily.

Prednisone or Prednisolone will be administered orally twice daily.

DRUGApalutamide

Apalutamide will be administered orally once daily.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 3 Years 3 MonthsAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.
Number of Participants with AEs by SeverityUp to 3 Years 3 MonthsNumber of participants with AEs by severity will be reported.
Number of Participants with Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)Up to 28 days of Cycle 1 (each cycle of 28 days)The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined as any of the following: high grade non-hematologic toxicity, or hematologic toxicity.
Composite Response RateAt 12 weeksComposite response rate at 12 weeks, defined as either 90 percent (%) reduction in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level from baseline (PSA-90), or objective response (confirmed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] 1.1) in participants with measurable disease, or both at 12 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Cmax is defined as the maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to tau (AUC[0-tau]) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)AUC(0-tau) is defined as area under the curve from time 0 to tau hours post dose of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.
Minimum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmin) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.
Observed Accumulation Index Based on Cmax (ARCmax) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)The observed accumulation ratio for Cmax, determined after multiple dose administration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone (Cycle\[C\] 2 Day\[D\] 1/C1D1 and C3D1/C1D1).
Accumulation Ratio for AUCtau (AR AUCtau) of EPI-7386 and AbirateroneDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)The observed accumulation ratio for AUCtau, determined after multiple dose administration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone (C2D1/C1D1 and C3D1/C1D1).
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of EPI-7386 and ApalutamideDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Cmax is defined as the maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and apalutamide.
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of EPI-7386 and apalutamideDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and apalutamide.
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to tau (AUC[0-tau]) of EPI-7386 and ApalutamideDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)AUC(0-tau) is defined as area under the curve from time 0 to tau hours post dose of EPI-7386 and apalutamide.
Minimum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmin) of EPI-7386 and ApalutamideDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and apalutamide.
Observed Accumulation Index Based on Cmax (ARCmax) of EPI-7386 and ApalutamideDay 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)The observed accumulation ratio for Cmax, determined after multiple dose administration EPI-7386 and apalutamide (C2D1/C1D1 and C3D1/C1D1).
