Study information
Scientific title
A randomised Phase II study of enzalutamide (MDV3100) in combination with AZD5363 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Acronym
RE-AKT
Study hypothesis
The primary aim is to determine the anti-tumour activity of enzalutamide (potent AR targeting drug) in combination with AZD5363 (AKT inhibitor) compared to enzaluatmide alone in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
On 03/10/2014 the following changes were made to the trial record:
1. The overall trial start date was changed from 01/06/2014 to 01/12/2014.
2. The overall trial end date was changed from 01/06/2014 to 01/01/2017.

Condition
Topic: Cancer; Subtopic: Prostate Cancer; Disease: Prostate
Intervention
AZD5363: Phase I safety run-in: Enzalutamide and AZD5363 will be given in a combination of once daily enzalutamide (MDV3100) with twice daily AZD5363 administered four days on and three days off

Single-stage phase II - expansion cohort
2. Best overall tumour response by RECIST (v1.1) and PCWG2 criteria. - RECIST: Screening (C0D1- 28 days), C1D4 or C1D11), treatment discontinuation. PCWGC2: Screening, C1D1, C2D1, 12 weekly, safety follow-up visit
Secondary outcome measures

Randomised Phase II and single-stage phase II - expansion cohort
1. Overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival - OS: patients will be followed up 3 monthly for 12 months and then 6 monthly from 12 months. Radiographic PFS: RECIST and bone scan every 12 weeks
2. Maximum PSA decline and circulating tumour cell (CTC) fall - Screening, C1D1, C4D1 and D1 each subsequent cycle (28-day cycle), safety follow-up visit
3. Pain palliation (using BPI-SF) (randomised phase II only) - Screening, C1D1, C2D1, C3D1, C4D1 and D1 each subsequent cycle (28-day cycle), safety follow-up visit
4. Safety - adverse events measured every visit
5. PK assay analyses - C1D1, C2D1, C2D4, C2D11
