Condition: Castration Levels of Testosterone; Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma; Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma; PSA Progression; Stage IV Prostate Adenocarcinoma AJCC v7
MeSH terms: Carcinoma; Prostatic Neoplasms
Intervention: ESK981
Intervention description: Treatment with ESK981 for patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional
Primary purpose: Treatment
Intervention model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Enrollment: 13.0
Sex: Male
Minimum age: 18 Years
Healthy volunteers: No

Summary:

      This phase II trials studies the side effects and how well ESK981 works in treating patients
      with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. ESK981
      may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
