Enzalutamide With Ribociclib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Castrate-Resistant, Chemotherapy Naive Prostate Cancer That Retains Retinoblastoma Expression

Stopped early · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma, Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma, Prostate Carcinoma Metastatic in the Bone, Stage IV Prostate Cancer AJCC v7

In brief

This phase Ib/II trial studies the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of ribociclib when given with enzalutamide in treating patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic), is chemotherapy naive, and retains retinoblastoma expression. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using enzalutamide may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells. Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Enzalutamide with ribociclib may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating metastatic, castrate-resistant, chemotherapy naive prostate cancer that retains retinoblastoma expression.

• PSA progression defined as 25% increase over baseline value with an increase in the absolute value of at least 2 ng/mL that is confirmed by another PSA level with a minimum of a 1 week interval and a minimum PSA of 2 ng/mL
• Soft-tissue progression defined as an increase >= 20% in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions based on the smallest sum LD since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions
• Progression of bone disease (evaluable disease) or (new bone lesion[s]) by bone scan
• Have testosterone < 50 ng/dL; patients must continue primary androgen deprivation with an luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue (agonist or antagonist) if they have not undergone orchiectomy
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1
• Patients on long term (> 6 months) anti-androgen therapy (e.g., flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide) will need to be off anti-androgen for 4 weeks (wash out period) and show evidence of disease progression off the anti-androgen; patients that have been on an anti-androgen 6 months or less will need to discontinue anti-androgen therapy prior to treatment start (no wash out period required)
• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1.5 × 10\^9/L (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Platelets (UNVPLT) >= 100 x 10\^9/L (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Hemoglobin (HGB) >= 9 g/dl (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Potassium (K) within normal limits for the institution or corrected to within normal limits with supplements before first dose of study medication (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Total calcium (CA) (corrected for serum albumin) within normal limits for the institution or corrected to within normal limits with supplements before first dose of study medication (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Magnesium within normal limits for the institution or corrected to within normal limits with supplements before first dose of study medication (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Phosphorus within normal limits for the institution or corrected to within normal limits with supplements before first dose of study medication (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• International normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5 (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Serum creatinine (CREAT) =< 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); if the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST must still be =< 2.5 x ULN; patients with liver metastases and AST/ALT above this limit will not be enrolled (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Total serum bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN; or total bilirubin (TBILI) =< 3.0 x ULN with direct bilirubin within normal range in patients with well documented Gilbert's syndrome (obtained within 14 days prior to treatment start)
• Men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to enrollment, for the duration of study participation and for at least 3 months thereafter
• Must be able to take oral medication without crushing, dissolving or chewing tablets
