Summary

"This trial aims to test if combining two drugs, relacorilant and enzalutamide, with hormone therapy is safe and effective for treating advanced prostate cancer. It is for patients for

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with advanced, high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments. Participants must have confirmed prostatic adenocarcinoma, be surgically resectable, no distant metastases (cancer spread), and an ECOG performance status ≤1 (meaning they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity).
What is being tested?
The study tests combining relacorilant and enzalutamide with hormone therapy against a placebo plus hormone therapy in treating high-risk localized prostate cancer. The goal is to assess the safety and effectiveness of this combination over approximately 3 years and 9 months.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, hot flashes, decreased sex drive or other sexual dysfunction, joint pain or swelling, nausea, diarrhea or constipation. More serious risks could involve heart problems, seizures related to enzalutamide use.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Response Rate of Subjects Receiving Relacorilant with Enzalutamide and Hormone Therapy
Secondary study objectives
Radiographic Response Rate
• To determine the 3-year biochemical recurrence-free survival (bRFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) rate with combination hormonal therapy with Rela + ARSI with Enz compared to ARSI with Enz alone

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group 1: Participants Who Receive Study Drug (Relacorilant) with Hormone Therapy and EnzalutamideExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
All participants in this group will have surgery up to 4 weeks after receiving enzalutamide/relacorilant with hormone therapy. A radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate and any surrounding tissue that the surgeon thinks may be affected by the cancer).
Group II: Group 1: Participants Who Receive Placebo (no study drug) with Hormone Therapy and EnzalutamideExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
All participants in this group will have surgery up to 4 weeks after receiving enzalutamide/placebo (sugar pill in the form of 2 softgel capsules) with hormone therapy. A radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate and any surrounding tissue that the surgeon thinks may be affected by the cancer).
