Clinical Trial Summary

This study consists of two phases: Dose Escalation (Phase 1b) and Dose Expansion (Phase 2)

The Dose Escalation phase will characterize the safety, tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of alobresib as a single agent and in combination with enzalutamide, in participants with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

The Dose Expansion phase will evaluate the following:

• In group 1, the efficacy of alobresib as a single agent in participants with mCRPC who have progressed while receiving enzalutamide (may have also received abiraterone)

• In group 2, the efficacy of alobresib combined with enzalutamide in participants with mCRPC who have progressed while receiving treatment with abiraterone (may not have previously received enzalutamide)

• In group 3, the efficacy of alobresib combined with enzalutamide in participants with mCRPC who have had prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression, but not radiographic progression, while receiving treatment with enzalutamide (participants may have also previously received abiraterone)

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Phase 1b Dose Escalation: Number of Participants Experienced Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	A DLT was a toxicity, considered possibly related to alobresib, and which occurred during the DLT assessment window (Days 1 through 28) in each cohort: Grade = 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500/mm^3), Grade = 3 neutropenia (ANC< 1000/mm^3) with fever (a single temperature > 38.3°C or a sustained temperature of = 38°C for more than 1 hour (h)), Grade = 3 thrombocytopenia, Grade = 2 bleeding (eg, gastrointestinal, respiratory, epistaxis, purpura), Grade = 3 non hematologic toxicity, except- Grade 3 nausea or emesis with maximum duration of 48 h on adequate medical therapy and Grade 3 diarrhea which persists for < 72 h in the absence of maximal medical therapy, Grade = 2 non hematologic treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) that in the opinion of the investigator was of potential clinical significance such that further dose escalation would expose participants to unacceptable risk, treatment interruption = 7 days due to unresolved toxicity.	Day 1 through Day 28
Primary	Phase 2 Dose Expansion: Non-progression Rate at Week 24 According to Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2) Criteria	The non-progression rate at Week 24 was defined as the proportion of participants who did not progress by Week 24.	Week 24

PCWG2 criteria for progression was determined as 'Decline from baseline' when record start of therapy to first prostate-specific antigen (PSA) increase that is = 25% and = 2 ng/mL above the nadir and confirmed by a second value 3 or more weeks later; 'No decline from baseline' when PSA progression = 25% and = 2 ng/mL after 12 weeks.
