Study of talazoparib and enzalutamide combination in men with DDR gene mutated metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer

3 1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer who have specific genetic mutations in their DNA repair genes. The research examines the effectiveness of combining two medications: talazoparib and enzalutamide. Metastatic means the cancer has spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, while castration-sensitive means the cancer still responds to treatments that lower testosterone levels.

The purpose of this study is to determine if adding talazoparib to enzalutamide treatment works better than using enzalutamide with a placebo in treating this type of prostate cancer. The study uses DNA repair gene mutations testing to identify suitable participants. During the study, participants will receive either the combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide or enzalutamide with a placebo.

Throughout the treatment period, which may last up to 24 months, participants will continue to receive hormone therapy that reduces testosterone levels. The study will monitor how the cancer responds to treatment through regular medical examinations and imaging tests. These tests will help determine if the cancer is stable, improving, or getting worse.

1 Initial medication assignment

You will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups:

Group 1: Talazoparib capsules + Enzalutamide (Xtandi) 40 mg soft capsules

Group 2: Placebo capsules + Enzalutamide (Xtandi) 40 mg soft capsules

Both medications are taken by mouth

2 Hormone therapy requirement

You must continue taking your prescribed hormone therapy (ADT) throughout the entire study

This involves regular injections of medication that lowers testosterone levels, unless you have had previous surgery to remove both testicles

3 Regular health monitoring

Your cancer progression will be monitored through regular imaging scans

Doctors will check for changes in both soft tissue using CT or MRI scans

Bone scans will be performed to check for bone-related changes

4 Physical condition assessment

Your overall physical condition will be regularly evaluated using the ECOG scale

This scale measures your ability to perform daily activities and self-care

5 Study duration

The study continues until August 2027

Your participation may end earlier if your condition changes or as determined by your doctor

Investigated Drugs:

Talazoparib is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called PARP inhibitors. It works by blocking an enzyme that helps repair damaged DNA in cancer cells, which can help stop cancer cells from growing and dividing. In this trial, it is being studied for treating prostate cancer that has specific genetic mutations.

Enzalutamide is a hormone therapy medication used to treat prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effects of testosterone and other male hormones that can stimulate prostate cancer growth. This medication helps to slow down or stop the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Metastatic Castration-sensitive Prostate Cancer – A condition where prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland to other parts of the body, but still responds to treatments that lower testosterone levels. In this type of cancer, the tumor cells continue to be dependent on male hormones (androgens) for their growth. The cancer typically spreads to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs while maintaining its sensitivity to hormone therapy. This form of prostate cancer represents a stage where the disease has become metastatic but remains responsive to treatments that reduce testosterone levels in the body.
