Scientific titleA randomised Phase II study of enzalutamide (MDV3100) in combination with AZD5363 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Study acronymRE-AKT
Study objectivesThe 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.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Cancer; Subtopic: Prostate Cancer; Disease: Prostate
InterventionAZD5363: 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
Randomised Phase II: AZD5363 + enzalutamide versus placebo + enzalutamide
Single-stage phase II expansion: AZD5363 + enzalutamide in patients who have previously progressed on enzalutamide alone; Enzalutamide, 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
