addition of opaganib to androgen antagonists in patients with mcrpc

Conditions: Prostate Cancer

Summary: this is a phase ii study of the investigational drug opaganib. patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mcrpc) who have experienced disease progression while receiving abiraterone or enzalutamide will receive opaganib at either 250 mg or 500 mg by mouth twice a day continuously. patients will continue on study drug until the development of progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent or other event as outlined in patient discontinuation.
