Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase II trial studies the effect of erdafitinib in treating patients with prostate cancer that grows and continues to spread despite the surgical removal of the testes or drugs to block androgen production (castration-resistant). Erdafitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erdafitinib may help control disease in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. In addition, studying samples of blood, tissue, plasma, and bone marrow from patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate efficacy of erdafitinib in subjects with advanced prostate cancer who have progressed on a second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeting agents (SART).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the objective response rate II. To measure Time on Treatment (ToT) as a surrogate of clinical efficacy and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) III. To measure PFS. IV. To correlate bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) modulation with response, ToT and PFS.

V. To correlate prostate specific antigen (PSA) modulation with response, ToT and PFS.

VI. To characterize the safety profile of subjects treated with erdafitinib. VII. To measure overall survival. VIII. To collect and archive bone marrow biopsies and aspirates, serum and plasma in study patients for later hypothesis generating associations.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate DNA, ribonucleic acid (RNA), or protein biomarkers in tissue and blood samples which potentially predict tumor response or resistance to erdafitinib.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive erdafitinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may also undergo collection of blood and bone marrow via biopsy and aspirates.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 16 weeks for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age \>= 18 years
* Histologically proven adenocarcinoma or small cell of the prostate with evidence for skeletal metastases on bone scan and/or computed tomography (CT)/positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2
* Serum testosterone levels =\< 50 ng/ml and maintenance of castration with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist or orchiectomy
* Patients must have documented evidence of progressive disease as defined by any of the following:

* PSA progression: minimum of 2 rising values (3 measurements) obtained a minimum of 7 days apart with the last result being at least \>= 1.0 ng/mL
* New or increasing non-bone disease (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] 1.1 criteria)
* Positive bone scan with 2 or more new lesions (Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 \[PCWG3\])
* Prior treatment with a second-generation AR-targeting agent (e.g. abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide) is required. Patients may have received up to two such agents
* Patients may have received prior treatment with immunotherapies (sipuleucel-T, checkpoint immunotherapies) or bone targeting therapies (radium-223)
* Both chemotherapy-naive and patients previously treated with chemotherapy are eligible. Chemotherapy pretreated patients may have received a maximum of two prior systemic cytotoxic chemotherapies completed at least 3 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
* Hemoglobin \>= 8.0 g/dL
* Platelet count \>= 75,000/uL
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1,500/mm\^3
* Calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault Equation) \>= 40 mL/min
* Serum potassium \>= institutional lower limit of normal (ILLN)
* Serum magnesium \>= ILLN
* Serum albumin \>= 3.0 g/dL
* Serum bilirubin \< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (IULN) (except for patients with known Gilbert's disease)
* Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2.5 x IULN for patients without liver metastases. For patients with liver metastases AST or ALT \< 5 x IULN is allowed
* Able to swallow study drugs whole as a tablet/capsule
