Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CP-PCA07 in combination with enzalutamide in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This is an open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter Phase 1 study. The primary objective is to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination therapy. The secondary objective is to assess changes in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels and pharmacokinetic characteristics. Exploratory objectives include assessment of tumor response, disease control, progression-free survival, and biomarker analyses, including AR-V7 status, according to RECIST version 1.1 and other applicable criteria.
Detailed description
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase 1, 3+3 dose-escalation study evaluating CP-PCA07 administered in combination with enzalutamide in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). A 12-week dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation period will be implemented for each cohort. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will function as the independent body for safety monitoring and dose-escalation decisions.
Interventions
CP-PCA07 will be administered orally three times daily. The starting dose is 600 mg/day, with planned escalation to 900 mg/day and 1,200 mg/day based on protocol-specified 3+3 dose-escalation criteria and dose-limiting toxicity evaluation.
Enzalutamide will be administered orally once daily at a fixed dose of 160 mg, with or without food, in combination with CP-PCA07.
