A Study of Enzalutamide Plus the Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Relacorilant Versus Placebo for Patients With High-risk Localized Prostate Cancer

A Randomized Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Enzalutamide Plus the Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Relacorilant Versus Placebo for Patients With High-risk Localized Prostate Cancer


Sponsor

University of Chicago

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Jan 6, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Researchers conducting this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining two study drugs, relacorilant and enzalutamide, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), also known as hormone therapy. This study is for individuals who have been diagnosed with advanced, high-risk prostate cancer and standard therapies available to treat your disease have not been effective. Participation in this research will last about 3 years and 9 months.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether adding a stress hormone blocker (relacorilant) to enzalutamide — a standard prostate cancer drug — can improve outcomes for men with high-risk localized prostate cancer before surgery. The idea is that blocking cortisol signaling may help the cancer respond better to treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a man with confirmed prostate cancer that is localized (has not spread to distant sites) - Your cancer is classified as high or very high risk (e.g., high Gleason score, PSA over 20, or advanced local stage) - You are a candidate for surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has spread to distant organs - You have significant heart, liver, or kidney problems - You cannot tolerate the study drugs Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGRelacorilant

Relacorilant is an antiglucocorticoid which is under development by Corcept Therapeutics for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. It is being used in this study as an experimental drug combined with other treatments for prostate cancer.

DRUGEnzalutamide

Enzalutamide, sold under the brand name Xtandi, is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen medication which is used in the treatment of prostate cancer.

OTHERPlacebo (Sugar Pill)

This would be a sugar pill consisting of 2 softgels. This is not an experimental drug or treatment.

OTHERAndrogen Deprivation Therapy

All participants in this study, who meet the requirements to participate, will get Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT; a form of hormone therapy) continuously before their radical prostatectomy surgery. As part of this study, ADT consists of one injection every 1-3 months. In this study, ADT is a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or antagonist; the choice of which brand of ADT to use is up to your treating physician. GnRH agonists and antagonists are drugs that lower the production of androgens (male hormones) in your body. Prostate cancer cells usually require androgens, such as testosterone, to grow. Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) has been approved by United Stated Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) to treat patients with prostate cancer but is not approved to treat patients prior to prostatectomy.

PROCEDURERadical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy is surgery to remove the entire prostate gland and surrounding lymph nodes to treat men with localized prostate cancer.
