Phase II Trial of Enzalutamide for Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) With Correlative Assessment of Androgen Receptor (AR) Signaling and Whole-exome and Transcriptome Sequencing

This research study is evaluating a drug called enzalutamide in metastatatic castration
resistant prostate cancer.Enzalutamide is already FDA approved for metastatic castration
resistant prostate cancer after treatment with chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to
analyze features of tumor specimens sampled prior to therapy and at disease progression to
determine why patients respond or stop responding to treatment with Enzalutamide. Prior
chemotherapy is not a requirement of this trial. Enzalutamide is a drug designed to block the
effects of male hormones in the body that may be helping prostate cancer to grow. It has
already been approved by the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for patients with
castration-resistant prostate cancer who have received prior chemotherapy.

Additionally, this study will analyze features of tumor specimens sampled prior to therapy
and at disease progression to determine why patients respond or stop responding to treatment
with enzalutamide.

After the screening procedures confirm that the patient is able to participate in the study.

- The patient will have the first of two required prostate biopsies prior to starting
study treatment.

- The patient will be given a prescription for study drug and a study drug-dosing diary
for each treatment cycle. Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days (4 weeks), during which
time the patient will be taking the study drug once daily. The diary will also include
special instructions for taking the study drug. The study drug (enzalutatmide) should be
taken orally (by mouth) at home.

On Day 1 of each cycle (+/- 4 days), the following procedures will be performed in clinic:

- A medical history.

- A Physical examination

- Performance status

- Blood tests (2-3 tablespoons).

- The patient will be asked about medications they are currently taking, including
over-the counter medications, herbal remedies, vitamins, and supplements.

- The patient will be asked about any disease-related symptoms they are experiencing.

- The patient will receive a new supply and the medication diary will be reviewed.

Every 12 weeks (+/-1 week) the following procedures will be performed in clinic:

- Blood tests. A small sample of the patient's blood (about 1-2 tablespoons) will be
collected. This blood will be collected for specialized laboratory tests.

- A (CT) scan of the patient's chest and a CT or MRI scan of abdomen, and pelvis and a
bone scan will be performed every 12 weeks (+/- 1 week) while the patient is on active
treatment. If your baseline CT of the patient's chest does not show disease, the
investigator may not asked for this to be repeated.

End of Study Visit in clinic:

- A medical history.

- A physical examination

- Performance status

- Blood tests (2-3 tablespoons)

- The patient will be asked about any disease-related symptoms If the patient completed at
least 4 cycles of enzalutamide, the patient will undergo a second of two required
biopsies.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Participants must meet the following criteria on screening examination to be eligible
to participate in the study:

- Be a male ≥ 18 years of age.

- Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the
prostate without ≥50% neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell histology.

- Participants must have progressive disease as defined by either:

- Castrate resistant disease as defined by PCWG.[26] Participants must have a rise in
PSA on two successive determinations at least one week apart and PSA levels ≥ 2 ng/ml
(only the screening PSA needs to be ≥ 2 ng/ml) and testosterone levels < 50 ng/dL, OR

- Soft tissue progression defined by RECIST 1.1, OR

- Bone disease progression defined by PCWG2 with two or more new lesions on bone scan.

- CRPC with metastatic disease with at least one site of metastatic disease must be
amenable to needle biopsy. Soft tissue biopsy sites include: lymph node or visceral
metastases. Bone sites include lumbar vertebrae, pelvic bones and long bones. Excluded
sites are thoracic, cervical vertebrae, skull and rib lesions. Biopsy site will be
selected with guidance of interventional radiologist determining best site to optimize
balance of obtaining useful tissue for analysis and minimizing risk.

- Participants without orchiectomy must be maintained on LHRH agonist/antagonist
therapy.

- Participants may have had any number of previous hormonal therapies (antiandrogens,
steroids, estrogens, finasteride, dutasteride, ketoconazole, abiraterone) provided
these were discontinued ≥ 4 weeks before enrollment.

- Participants may have had up to two previous cytotoxic therapeutic regimens provided
these were discontinued ≥ 4 weeks before enrollment.

- At least a 4 week interval from previous prostate cancer treatment other than LHRH
agonist/antagonist therapy or bisphosphonates to enrollment.

- Participants receiving bisphosphonates therapy can be maintained on this therapy. If
participants have not started bisphosphonates, it is recommended that they start
treatment after the first biopsy.

- ECOG performance status < 2 (Karnofsky >60%, see Appendix A).

- Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

- WBC ≥ 3,000/mcL

- ANC ≥ 1,500/mcL

- Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL

- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL

- Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL

- AST, ALT, and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x Institutional ULN

- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 Institutional ULN or a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
using the Cockcroft Gault equation

- PTT ≤ 60, INR ≤ 1.5 Institutional ULN unless on warfarin therapy (investigator would
need to determine if safe for participant to stop warfarin prior to biopsy)

- Have signed an informed consent document indicating that the subjects understands the
purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the
study.

- Be willing/able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this
protocol.

- Written Authorization for Use and Release of Health and Research Study Information (US
sites only) has been obtained.

- Able to swallow the study drug whole as a tablet.

- Participants who have partners of childbearing potential must be willing to use a
method of birth control with adequate barrier protection as determined to be
acceptable by the principal investigator during the treatment period and for 1 week
after last dose of enzalutamide.
