What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing four different doses of enzalutamide (40, 80, 120, and 160 mg) in men aged 75 and older with advanced prostate cancer. The goal is to see how drug levels in the blood differ between older and younger patients, and to find the safest and most effective dose. The study will enroll 26 participants and may adjust doses after 8 weeks based on how well the treatment is working.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
enzalutamide
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors choose the right enzalutamide dose for older patients, potentially improving treatment outcomes and reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It focuses on drug levels in the blood, not direct proof of better cancer control.

Advanced prostate cancer with a Health Canada approved indication for enzalutamide amongst the following: 1. High-risk biochemical recurrent hormone sensitive prostate cancer (high risk definition: PSA doubling time of ≤9 months and a PSA level of ≥2 ng per milliliter above nadir after radiation therapy or ≥1 ng per milliliter after radical prostatectomy with or without postoperative radiation therapy). 2. Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. 3. Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (M0CRPC) with a PSA doubling time of ≤9 months 4. Participants must receive concomitant androgen deprivation therapy with either a Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonist or agonist, or have had bilateral orchiectomy. 5. Participant is capable, in the opinion of the investigator, of completing all study assessments and procedures, including blood draws for PK sampling according to the required schedule as per the study protocol as well as PROs. 1. Note, for patients who speak a language other than English, PROs may be completed with the help of an interpreter, or translated PROs may be substituted, if available in the patient's primary language. Control Cohort: 1. Age \< 70 years 2. Receiving enzalutamide for advanced prostate, for any indication as per Product Monograph 3. Receiving the same dose of enzalutamide taken daily and fully compliant for ≥ 29 days 4. Signed Informed Consent Form Exclusion Criteria: Main Cohort: 1.

History of seizure disorder 8. History of moderate-severe dementia 9. Performance status \> ECOG 2 10. Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as sustained systolic blood pressure above 160 and/or diastolic above 100 despite the adequate use of antihypertensive medication) 11. Participants with a known history of dementia, seizure disorder, intracranial lesions, moderate to severe hepatic impairment, stage ≥ 3 chronic renal failure or stroke will also be excluded Control Cohort: 1.
