a study of cc-90011 and comparators in participants with prostate cancer

Conditions: Prostatic Neoplasms

Summary: this is an open-label, positron emission tomography (pet) imaging proof of biology (pob) study to determine whether cc -90011 reverses, by the induction of androgen receptor (ar) expression, the castration resistance, due to lineage switch, in participants with mcrpc that have failed enzalutamide as last prior therapy. this study aims to assess whether cc-90011 can induce ar expression and, consequently, re-sensitize tumors to anti-hormonal therapy.

time (aptt) 1. within normal range (part a) 2. ≤1.5 uln exclusion criteria: 1. participant has received anti-cancer therapy (either approved or investigational) \< 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to cycle 1 day 1. - \< 42 days for prior nitrosureas or mitomycin c 2. toxicities resulting from prior systemic cancer therapies must have resolved to ≤ nci ctcae grade 1 prior to starting cc-90011 treatment (with exception of grade 2 peripheral neuropathy and alopecia). 3. previous anaphylactic reaction to either fdht or fdg. 4. participant has undergone major surgery ≤ 4 weeks or minor surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to cycle 1 day 1 or who have not recovered from surgery. 5. participant has completed any radiation treatment \ 25% of myelopoietic bone marrow radiation are not allowed to be enrolled on this study. 6. participant has persistent diarrhea due to a malabsorptive syndrome (such as celiac sprue or inflammatory bowel disease) ≥ nci ctcae grade 2, despite medical management), or any other significant gi disorder that could affect the absorption of cc-90011. 7. participant with symptomatic or uncontrolled ulcers (gastric or duodenal), particularly those with a history of and/or risk of perforation and gi tract hemorrhages. 8. participant with any hemorrhage/bleeding event \> ctcae grade 2 or haemoptysis \> 1 teaspoon within 4 weeks prior to the first dose 9. symptomatic and untreated or unstable central nervous system (cns) metastases or clinically significant spinal cord compression. * participant recently treated with whole brain radiation or stereotactic radiosurgery for cns metastases must have completed therapy at least 4 weeks prior to cycle 1, day 1 and have a follow-up brain computed tomography (ct) or magnetic resonance imaging (mri) demonstrating either stable or improving metastases 4 or more weeks after completion of radiotherapy (the latter to be obtained as part of the screening assessments, refer to section 6.1) * participant must be asymptomatic and off steroids or on stable dose of steroids for at least 4 weeks (?10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) 10. participant has known symptomatic acute or chronic pancreatitis. 11. participant with severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c). 12. medical castration with lhrh analogue is not permitted at any time during treatment with abiraterone and

prior to c1d1 when feasible and when a delay in c1d1 would not put the study subject at risk.
