Study Summary

This study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of relugolix with other agents approved for use in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for a 12-week treatment period and an additional 40-week safety extension period in men with prostate cancer, either metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) or non-metastatic or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC or mCRPC).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. A previous diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate confirmed by histologic orcytologic evidence and with a documented medical history of either:
  • mCSPC (Parts 1, 2, and 3) defined as having at least two of three risk factorsat the baseline (Day 1) visit:

  • Total Gleason score of ≥ 6; and

  • Presence of ≥ 2 metastatic lesions on bone scan; OR

  • Radiologic evidence of measurable visceral metastases with exception ofhepatic metastases.

  • nmCRPC (Part 2 only) defined as disease progression despite maintainingcastration levels of testosterone with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), asevidenced by an increase in consecutive prostate-specific antigen (PSA)concentrations (2 measurements, at least one week apart).

  • mCRPC (Parts 1 and 3) defined as disease progression despite maintainingcastration levels of testosterone with ADT:

  • An increase in consecutive PSA (2 measurements at least 1 week apart); or

  • Worsening clinical symptoms; or

  • Radiologic evidence demonstrating enlarged metastatic lesions or thedevelopment of new metastases.

  1. Initiating treatment or currently receiving treatment of leuprolide acetate (3-, 4-,or 6-month injections [intramuscular Lupron or subcutaneous Eligard]) or anotherGnRH receptor agonist (triptorelin) or a GnRH receptor antagonist (degarelix orrelugolix [maximum duration of 3 months]) in combination with:
  • Part 1: abiraterone acetate 1000 mg or fine-particle abiraterone acetate 500 mgonce daily plus prednisone 5 mg once daily for participants with mCSPC or twicedaily for participants with mCRPC or methylprednisolone 4 mg once daily and inwhom abiraterone has been well tolerated (that is, without evidence ofhepatotoxicity requiring dose adjustment for abiraterone).

  • Part 2: apalutamide 240 mg once daily and in whom apalutamide has been welltolerated (that is, without a fracture, fall, or seizure episode or need todose adjust due to any adverse events).

  • Part 3: docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and in whom docetaxel has been well tolerated (thatis, no evidence of hypersensitivity reaction, febrile neutropenia orneutrophils < 500 cells/mm3 for more than 1 week, severe or cumulativecutaneous reactions, or moderate neurosensory signs and/or symptoms despitedose reduction). Note: Patients receiving treatment with another agent inaddition to docetaxel, such as a steroid synthesis inhibitor or androgenreceptor antagonist, may be enrolled.

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

A patient will not be eligible for inclusion in the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  1. A medical history of brain or hepatic metastases based on radiologic evidence or amedical history of surgical castration;

  2. Received combination treatment with a GnRH analog or GnRH receptor antagonist witheither abiraterone acetate plus a corticosteroid (Part 1) or apalutamide (Part 2) inpatients with mCSPC (Part 1 and Part 2) or nmCRPC (Part 2) for a total duration > 24months or in patients with mCRPC (Part 1) for a total duration > 6 months;

  3. Is scheduled or anticipates being scheduled for major surgery during the studytreatment period;

  4. A current diagnosis of a malignancy other than prostate cancer, with the exceptionof any of the following:

  • Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin,or carcinoma in situ of any type;

  • Adequately treated Stage I cancer that is currently in remission and has beenin remission for ≥ 2 years;

  • Any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for ≥ 3 years;

  1. Abnormal clinical laboratory test value(s) at the screening visit or prior to thebaseline (Day 1) visit including:
  • Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL;

  • Platelets < 100 × 103/μL;

  • Hemoglobin < 10.0 g/dL;

  • Leukocytes (WBC) < 3 × 103/μL;

  • Absolute neutrophil count < 1.5 × 103/μL;

  • Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 8%; Note (Part 3 only): Transfusions and/oradministration of growth factors are permitted as indicated for the clinicalmanagement of docetaxel-related hematologic effects and in accordance with theinvestigator's judgement.

  1. Known hepatic disease, including alcoholic liver disease or viral hepatitis such ashepatitis A (hepatitis A virus IgM positive), chronic hepatitis B (HbsAg positive),or chronic hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive, confirmed by HCV RNA) or clinicalsigns of hepatic disease such as jaundice;

  2. A medical history within 6 months prior to the screening visit or a currentdiagnosis of any of the following:

  • Myocardial infarction;

  • Unstable angina;

  • Unstable symptomatic ischemic heart disease;

  • Congestive heart failure classified as NYHA class III or IV heart failure;

  • Thromboembolic event(s) (eg, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, orsymptomatic cerebrovascular event[s]);

  • Any other significant cardiac condition (eg, pericardial effusion, restrictivecardiomyopathy, severe untreated valvular stenosis, or severe congenital heartdisease);

  1. An abnormal ECG;

  2. Uncontrolled hypertension;

  3. Hypotension;

  4. Bradycardia;

  5. Positive HIV;

  6. Medical history of a bleeding disorder or current clinical evidence ofgastrointestinal bleeding or active bleeding from another anatomical location;

  7. A medical history within 1 year of the screening visit of drug or alcohol abusedisorder according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V;

  8. Received an investigational drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever islonger, prior to the baseline (Day 1) visit;

  9. Prior use of any prohibited medication(s) and restrictive medication(s) without theappropriate washout period or use of a prohibited medication during the studytreatment period is planned;

Study Description

This is a three-part, open-label, parallel-cohort study to assess the safety and tolerability of relugolix as the ADT component in combination treatment with abiraterone acetate plus a corticosteroid in patients with mCSPC or mCRPC (Part 1), apalutamide in patients with mCSPC or nmCRPC (Part 2), or docetaxel with or without prednisone in patients with mCSPC or mCRPC (Part 3).

The study will consist of a 45-day screening period followed by a 12-week treatment period with one of the three combination treatments (Parts 1, 2, or 3). All participants are required to be currently or previously treated with a GnRH receptor antagonist (analog), leuprolide acetate or triptorelin, or a GnRH receptor antagonist, degarelix or relugolix, in combination with either abiraterone plus prednisone (Part 1), apalutamide (Part 2), or docetaxel (Part 3). The study consists of a 12-week primary study treatment period in which safety and tolerability, including assessment of vital sign measurements, ECGs, clinical laboratory tests and reporting of adverse events every 2 to 4 weeks, followed by a 40-week safety extension treatment period during which adverse events and changes to concomitant medications will be reported. The total treatment duration is 52 weeks.
