Clinical Trial Summary

Demonstrate detection of ARv7 splice variant transcripts from exosomes in the circulation of MCRPC patients pre and post treatment with selective Androgen pathway inhibitors (i.e. abiraterone and enzalutamide)

Description:

Primary Objective -Demonstrate detection of ARv7 splice variant transcripts from exosomes in the circulation of MCRPC patients pre and post treatment with selective Androgen pathway inhibitors (i.e. abiraterone and enzalutamide) Secondary and Exploratory Objectives - Correlate ARv7 status with PSA response (>/=50% decline in PSA level from baseline, maintained for >/=4 weeks) at any time after the initiation of therapy. - Comparison of median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). - Determine additional molecular lesions in exoRNA and cfDNA in MCRPC patients post-treatment with androgen pathway inhibitors. - Correlate other AR-variants (non ARv7) with clinical outcomes including PSA response.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

2. Clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease.

3. Planned therapy with either enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate within the coming 6 weeks.

4. Evidence of disease progression on or following most recent therapy as evidenced by

the following:

• Radiographic evidence of disease progression as defined by one or more new bone scan lesions.
• Growth of soft tissue / visceral metastases to greater than one centimeter in longest diameter.
• Progressive disease despite 'castration levels' of serum testosterone (<50ng/dL with continued androgen deprivation therapy.

5. At least two of the following high risk features during screening for rapid disease

progression:

• Anemia with a hemoglobin <12.0 g/dL
• Elevated alkaline phosphatase
• High lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
• Presence of visceral metastasis on imaging
• Presence of clinically significant pain requiring opioid analgesics.

2. Hepatitis (all types) in patient's medical record

3. HIV documented in patient's medical record

4. History of intercurrent or past medical history or psychiatric illness that would make participation in a blood drawing protocol difficult or not feasible.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Detection of ARv7 splice variant in the circulation of MCRPC patients. PSA response rate in ARv7 positive patients.	The detection of ARv7 splice variants in samples will be considered both binary: positive or negative/not assessable and level based. ARv7 splice variants from exosomes will be detectable from baseline in 50% of both API; PSA response rates will be 10% or less in ARv7 positive patients. With a sample of 30 patients (as reported in the NEJM study) per cohort would allow the study to have an 85% power to detect a difference of 50 percentage points in PSA response rates, with the use of a two-sided test at an alpha level of 0.1.	Two years
Secondary	Detection of ARv7 splice variant in the circulation of MCRPC patients. PSA response rate in ARv7 negative patients.	The detection of ARv7 splice variants in samples will be considered both binary: positive or negative/not assessable and level based. ARv7 splice variants from exosomes will be detectable from baseline in 50% of both API; PSA response rates will be 50% or more in ARv7 negative patients. With a sample of 30 patients (as reported in the NEJM study) per cohort would allow the study to have an 85% power to detect a difference of 50 percentage points in PSA response rates, with the use of a two-sided test at an alpha level of 0.1.
