Brief Summary

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

To demonstrate the efficacy of VERU-111 (Sabizabulin) in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in patients who have failed prior treatment with at least one androgen receptor targeting agent as measured by radiographic progression-free survival.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-control, efficacy and safety study of VERU-111 (Sabizabulin) for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in patients who have failed prior treatment with at least one androgen receptor targeting agent.

Subjects will have failed treatment with at least one prior androgen receptor targeting agent and be eligible for treatment with an alternative androgen receptor targeting agent (as per the current standard of care for these patients).

Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive VERU-111 or Active Control (alternative androgen receptor targeting agent).

Subjects in the VERU-111 treated group will receive VERU-111 32 mg per day orally with an option to reduce the dose to 26 mg per day based on tolerability to the 32 mg dose until radiographic progression (blinded independent central read) in observed. Subjects in the Control treated group will receive an alternative androgen receptor targeting agent with dose and dosing regimen defined in the FDA approved prescribing information until radiographic progression in observed.

Randomization will be stratified by measurable disease vs. bone-only disease. A significant proportion (\>30%) of the patients randomized into the study will have measurable disease at baseline.

Randomization will also be stratified by if the patient has failed one vs. more than one prior androgen targeting agent.

The primary efficacy endpoint of the study will be radiographic progression free survival.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Provide informed consent.
* Be able to communicate effectively with the study personnel.
* Aged ≥18 years.
* Histological or cytologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the prostate not including the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma of the prostate of neuroendocrine pathology.

* Known castration resistant prostate cancer, defined according to PCWG3 criteria.
* Have received at least one androgen receptor targeting agent (e.g. abiraterone, enzalutamide, darolutamide, or apalutamide).
* Subjects who have metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer that have maintained or have previously been treated with ADT (while on-study, patients must receive continuous ADT. Either chemical or surgical castration by bilateral orchiectomy is acceptable) and have failed prior treatment with at least one androgen receptor targeting agent (e.g. abiraterone, enzalutamide, darolutamide, or apalutamide) defined as:
* Serum PSA progression of two consecutive increases in PSA over a previous reference value within 6 months of first study treatment, each measurement at least 2 weeks apart. Or
* Documented bone lesions by the appearance of two or more new lesions on bone scintigraphy or bi-dimensionally-measurable soft tissue metastatic lesion assessed by CT or MRI.
* Treatment with an alternative androgen receptor targeting agent is a reasonable next line of therapy.
* Absolute PSA ≥2.0 ng/ml at screening.
* ECOG performance status \<2.
* Participants must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 30 days prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:
* Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 30 days
* Creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min (using Cockcroft-Gault equation)
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L
