Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Group A: EPI-7386 + Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone (AAP)

Participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) will receive EPI-7386 + AAP to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) dose of EPI-7386 in combination with AAP in dose finding portion of the study. In dose expansion portion of the study, participants will receive EPI-7386 RP2D in combination with AAP.

Drug: EPI-7386
EPI-7386 will be administered orally once daily.

Drug: Abiraterone Acetate
Abiraterone Acetate will be administered orally once daily.

Drug: Prednisone or Prednisolone
Prednisone or Prednisolone will be administered orally twice daily.

Experimental: Group B: EPI-3786 + Apalutamide

Participants with mCRPC will receive EPI-7386 + apalutamide to determine RP2D dose of EPI-7386 in combination with apalutamide in dose finding portion of the study. In dose expansion portion of the study, participants will receive EPI-7386 RP2D in combination with apalutamide.

Drug: EPI-7386
EPI-7386 will be administered orally once daily.

Drug: Apalutamide
Apalutamide will be administered orally once daily.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to 3 Years 3 Months]

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

  2. Number of Participants with AEs by Severity [Up to 3 Years 3 Months]

    Number of participants with AEs by severity will be reported.

  3. Number of Participants with Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) [Up to 28 days of Cycle 1 (each cycle of 28 days)]

    The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined as any of the following: high grade non-hematologic toxicity, or hematologic toxicity.

  4. Composite Response Rate [At 12 weeks]

    Composite response rate at 12 weeks, defined as either 90 percent (%) reduction in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level from baseline (PSA-90), or objective response (confirmed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) in participants with measurable disease, or both at 12 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.

  3. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to tau (AUC[0-tau]) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    AUC(0-tau) is defined as area under the curve from time 0 to tau hours post dose of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.

  4. Minimum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmin) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone.

  5. Observed Accumulation Index Based on Cmax (ARCmax) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    The observed accumulation ratio for Cmax, determined after multiple dose administration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone (Cycle[C] 2 Day[D] 1/C1D1 and C3D1/C1D1).

  6. Accumulation Ratio for AUCtau (AR AUCtau) of EPI-7386 and Abiraterone [Day 1 of each cycle up to 3 cycles (each cycle of 28 days)]

    The observed accumulation ratio for AUCtau, determined after multiple dose administration of EPI-7386 and abiraterone (C2D1/C1D1 and C3D1/C1D1).
