About this trial

This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of opevesostat compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that opevesostat is superior with respect to OS in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has disease that progressed during or after treatment with 1 novel hormonal agent (NHA)

Disqualifiers

Has a gastrointestinal disorder that might affect absorption

Has a history of pituitary dysfunction

Has poorly controlled diabetes mellitus

Has clinically significant abnormal serum potassium or sodium level

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Overall Survival (OS) in Androgen Receptor Ligand Binding Domain (AR LBD) Mutation-Positive Participants

OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS in AR LBD mutation-positive participants will be reported for each study arm.

Time frame
Up to ~54 months
2

OS in AR LBD Mutation-Negative Participants

OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS in AR LBD mutation-negative participants will be reported for each study arm.

Time frame
Up to ~54 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS) Per Prostate Cancer Working Group-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review in AR LBD Mutation-Positive Participants

rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. rPFS in AR LBD mutation-positive participants will be reported for each study arm.

Time frame
Up to ~36 months
2

rPFS Per Prostate Cancer Working Group-modifiedRECIST 1.1 as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review in AR LBD Mutation-Negative Participants

rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. rPFS in AR LBD mutation-positive participants will be reported for each study arm.

Time frame
Up to ~36 months
3

Time to Initiation of the First Subsequent Anti-Cancer Therapy or Death (TFST)

TFST is defined as the time from randomization to initiation of the first subsequent anticancer therapy or death, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
Up to ~54 months
4

Objective Response (OR)

OR is determined by PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR.

Time frame
Up to ~54 months
