Precision Neoadjuvant Therapy for High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer With PTEN Loss

Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about how an investigational drug intervention completed before doing prostate surgery (specifically, radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection) may help in treatment of high risk localized prostate cancers that are most resistant to standard treatments. This is a phase II research study. For this study, capivasertib, the study drug, will be taken with intensified androgen deprivation drugs (iADT; abiraterone and leuprolide) prior to radical prostatectomy. This study drug treatment will be evaluated to see if it is effective in shrinking and destroying prostate cancer tumors prior to surgery and to further evaluate its safety prior to prostate cancer surgery.

Interventions

• Drug
  Capivasertib

  400 mg (2 tablets) BID given on an intermittent weekly dosing schedule. Patients will be dosed on Days 1 to 4 in each week (4 days on, 3 days off). Treatment will be given in combination with abiraterone for 16 weeks duration (+/- 1 week for surgery window).

• Drug
  abiraterone acetate

  Administered orally as tablets at a dosage of 1000 mg daily. To be administered with prednisone 5mg po daily. Subjects will be on concurrent GNRH agonist therapy (leuprolide, administered as standard of care). Intensified androgen deprivation (iADT) consisting of abiraterone and leuprolide will be administered for a 4 week run-in prior to addition of capivasertib.
