Official title
MK-5684-004: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study of Opevesostat Versus Alternative Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide in Participants With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) That Progressed On or After Prior Treatment With One Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) (OMAHA-004)
Overview
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of opevesostat plus daily corticosteroids compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one next-generation hormonal agent (NHA). The primary study hypothesis is that opevesostat is superior to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide with respect to radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation positive and negative participants.
Detailed description
Per Protocol Amendment 08, overall survival (OS) was moved to be a secondary outcome measure.

- Receives prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks before the first dose of study intervention, or radiation-related toxicities, requiring corticosteroids
- Receives prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
- Has systemic use of strong Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inducers and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors within 2 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
- Has received prior targeted small molecule therapy or NHA treatment within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
- Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention
- Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration
- Has known hypersensitivity to the components or excipients in abiraterone acetate, prednisone or prednisolone, enzalutamide, fludrocortisone, dexamethasone, or opevesostat
- Has a "superscan" bone scan defined as an intense symmetric activity in the bones and diminished renal parenchymal activity on baseline bone scan such that the presence of additional metastases in the future could not be evaluated
- Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years

- Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, (ie, without evidence of progression) for at least 4 weeks as confirmed by repeat imaging performed during study screening, are clinically stable and have not required steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
- Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. Replacement therapy is allowed
