Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DE and DC - ZEN003694 in Combination with EnzalutamideExperimentalDose Escalation (DE) and Dose Confirmation (DC): ZEN003694 will be administered orally once daily with enzalutamide in 28-day cycles, enrolling mCRPC patients. Two patient populations will be enrolled in DE and DC. Cohort A: Patients with prior progression on enzalutamide or apalutamide by PCWG2 criteria who were receiving a stable dose of enzalutamide at the time of study entry. Cohort B: Patients who were enzalutamide-naïve with prior progression on abiraterone by Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria.
Receives: Drug: ZEN003694; Drug: Enzalutamide

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. For Dose Escalation: Incidence of Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of ZEN003694 in Combination With Enzalutamide.

    Determination of DLT was made during the first 28 days of treatment in the dose escalation phase. A DLT is defined as a clinically significant AE or laboratory abnormality that is considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to study drug. The MTD reflects the highest dose of ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide that did not cause a DLT in more than 1 of 6 patients. The RP2D is the recommended dose of ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide as determined in the dose confirmation phase of the study.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Day 1 thru Day 28)

  2. For Dose Escalation and Dose Confirmation: Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Treatment-related Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as any adverse events (AEs) that begin or worsen on or after the start of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug. The severity of AEs was graded based on the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology for Adverse Events (V4.03). A serious adverse event (SAE) was any AE that was: fatal; life-threatening; required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged an existing hospitalization; disabling or incapacitating; a congenital anomaly or birth defect; or any other important medical event.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 to 30 days post last dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Evaluate Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Response Rate by PCWG2 Criteria

    The PSA response rate will be evaluated using PCWG2 criteria and defined as the proportion of patients with a PSA decline of at least 50%. Any change from baseline is confirmed by a second measurement at least 3 weeks later. PSA Response Rate will be evaluated using PCWG2 criteria and defined as following: Percentage change from baseline in PSA to 12 weeks post ZEN003694 dose. Only evaluate for patients with at least 12 weeks of treatment, the PSA assessment at 12 weeks (84 days +/-3 days) will be used; Maximum percent decrease in PSA from baseline that occurs at any point after treatment. Evaluable for all patients with post-baseline PSA. Arms will be combined to analyze efficacy in Cohort A and Cohort B.

    Measured: Screening up to 35 months

  2. Evaluate Radiographic Response Rate (Overall Response Rate) by PCWG2 Criteria

    Tumor response will be evaluated using the PCWG2 criteria. Patients with measurable disease will be evaluated for clinical benefit as determined by tumor response using RECIST v1.1. Patients with non-measurable bone disease will be evaluated for progression based on the presence of any new lesions by bone scans. Radiographic tumor evaluation will be performed at screening and every 3 cycles or more frequently as determined by the investigator. Using the tumor response that is determined by the investigator, best overall response will be determined using RECIST v1.1. Best overall response is defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression or study exit. Arms will be combined to analyze efficacy in Cohort A and Cohort B.

    Measured: Screening up to 35 months

  3. Evaluate Overall Median Progression-free Survival by PCWG2 Criteria

    Overall progression free survival (PFS) is determined using the PCWG2 criteria. Overall PFS is measured from screening until the time that disease progression (radiographic progressive disease or clinical deterioration) or death is documented, whichever occurs first. Arms will be combined to analyze efficacy in Cohort A and Cohort B.

    Measured: Screening up to 35 months

  4. Evaluate Median Radiographic Progression-Free Survival by PCWG2 Criteria

    Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) is determined using the PCWG2 criteria to assess both soft-tissue and bone assessments. The rPFS is measured from screening until the time the first radiographic scan shows disease progression, or until the time of death, whichever occurs first. If radiographic disease progression is identified at the first on-treatment radiographic assessment at Cycle 3 Day 1 (8 weeks), radiographic progression must be confirmed by a second assessment 6 or more weeks later. Patients who do not progress radiographically or did not die prior to study exit are censored on the date of their last dose of ZEN003694. Arms will be combined to analyze efficacy in Cohort A and Cohort B.

    Measured: Screening up to 35 months

  5. Measure the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUC(0-24h) of ZEN003694 and ZEN003791 (Active Metabolite) Administered in Combination With Enzalutamide.

    AUC(0-24h) is defined as the area under the curve (plasma concentration of drug over a 24-hour time period).

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose; Cycle 1 Day 2: pre-dose; Cycle 1 Day 15: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose

  6. Measure the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of ZEN003694 and ZEN003791 (Active Metabolite) Administered in Combination With Enzalutamide

    Cmax is defined as the maximum or peak plasma concentration of drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose; Cycle 1 Day 2: pre-dose; Cycle 1 Day 15: pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ZEN003694 and Enzalutamide in people with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Zenith Epigenetics at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

For Dose Escalation: Incidence of Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of ZEN003694 in Combination With Enzalutamide. (time frame: Cycle 1 (Day 1 thru Day 28)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2021.
