lesions on CT or MRI with a bone or soft tissue lesion amenable to image-guided
percutaneous biopsy, and the patient must be evaluable for disease response by either
- Baseline PSA = 2.0 ng/mL OR

ng/dL. Patients must be surgically castrate or maintained on LHRH agonist or
antagonist therapy for the duration of the study period.
- Must have recovered from any treatment-related toxicities to = CTCAE grade 1.
- Patients with = CTCAE grade 2 anorexia, alopecia, neuropathy, and/or fatigue
however, are also permitted to enroll.

- platelets =100,000/mcL (without transfusion or growth factor in prior 28 days)
- total bilirubin =1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal, unless the subject
has known or suspected Gilbert's syndrome
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) =1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
- creatinine clearance =30 mL/min/1.73 m2
- Life expectancy of at least 6 months, as determined by a study Investigator.
- Ability to swallow oral medications.
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent.
- Additional Inclusion Criteria (Arm C patients)
- Must have documentation (via CLIA approved, CAP certified next generation
sequencing [NGS] assay report) of genomic aberration resulting in CDK12 loss of
function in metastatic tumor tissue.
- Patients whose tumors have not previously undergone NGS are not eligible for
Arm C but are eligible for the randomized unselected cohorts.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinical evidence of, or known and untreated metastatic CNS disease.
- Concurrent active malignancy.
- Patients with non-melanomatous skin cancer, cancer not needing active therapy for
at least 2 years, cancer for which the treating investigator deems the subject to
be in remission, or any prior malignancy that was treated with curative intent
(no evidence of disease for at least 3 years) are also permitted to enroll.
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to planned
cycle 1 day 1 of study treatment.
- Patients who have received oral anti-neoplastic intervention such as an oral hormonal
agent, PARP inhibitor, AR targeted therapy, or oral experimental agent within 14 days
prior to planned cycle 1 day 1 of study treatment.
- Prior treatment with an inhibitor of CDK4 and/or 6.
- Prior treatment with an inhibitor of PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2.
- Patients on concurrent therapy with a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducer or inhibitor
which cannot be safely stopped at least five half-lives prior to initiation of therapy
with abemaciclib.
- Evidence of an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment within
the last 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or
immunosuppressive drugs).
- Patients with conditions requiring replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin,
or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary
insufficiency, etc.) are permitted to enroll.
- Live vaccine within 30 days of registration.
- Active smoking or a history of smoking greater than 20 pack-years (i.e. # packs of
cigarettes smoked per day × # of years patient has smoked > 20).
- Prior history of radiation therapy to thorax (including to lungs/pleura, esophagus,
intrathoracic lymph nodes, C7-L2 vertebrae, or ribs) for any reason and any
duration/dose.
- Any history of interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis or idiopathic pulmonary
fibrosis, regardless of remission or immunosuppression status.
- Any history of lung cancer, regardless of stage or treatment
- Any of the following abnormalities on pre-treatment pulmonary function testing:
- FEV1/FVC < lower limit of normal (LLN) and FEV1 < 75% predicted OR
- FVC < 70% of predicted, regardless of FEV1/FVC ratio OR
- DLCO (corrected for hemoglobin) < 70% of predicted
- Active bacterial or fungal infection, or known detectable viral infection (e.g., Human
Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV] or viral hepatitis).
- Arterial or venous thromboembolic event within the last 3 months.
- Significant infection, medical condition, or social situation which, in the opinion of
the investigator, would preclude participation or limit the patient's ability to
comply with study requirements.
