About this trial

This is a phase II, single-centre, pragmatic, non-randomized, dose escalation study to evaluate optimal dose levels of enzalutamide in elderly patients using pharmacokinetic blood sampling concentrations.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male aged 75 years or older.

Signed Informed Consent Form

High-risk biochemical recurrent hormone sensitive prostate cancer (high risk definition: PSA doubling time of ≤9 months and a PSA level of ≥2 ng per milliliter above nadir after radiation therapy or ≥1 ng per milliliter after radical prostatectomy with or without postoperative radiation therapy).

Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Disqualifiers

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

Pain related to bone metastasis requiring the use of opioid analgesics

Impending spinal cord compression related to metastasis to vertebral column

Painful femoral neck or any other metastasis judged to be at risk of short-term pathological fracture in the investigator's opinion

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Enzalutamide Dose Escalation

    Drug

    Participants will be allocated to receive one of 4 dose levels of enzalutamide; * Level 1: 40mg * Level 2: 80mg * Level 3: 120mg * Level 4: 160mg There will be 4 participants per dose level. After 8 weeks of treatment at the initial dose level, the study doctor will review treatment progress and may escalate to a higher dose level at their discretion. For each dose level participants move up to (if applicable), they will repeat this same 8 weeks of treatment and evaluation process.

  • Standard of Care

    Drug

    Participants will continue to receive enzalutamide per standard of care.

Treatment groups
