Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Up to 20 months

PFS was assessed as the time from randomization until the time of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or an unequivocal progression in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Overall Survival
Up to 32 months

Overall survival (OS) was assessed as the time from randomization to death by any cause. The data values are Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Change in Average 24-hour SBP
Baseline and Week 22

Blood pressure was measured by 24-hour ABPM. The 24-hour average SBP is reported.

Number of Patients With 1 or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) as Graded by CTCAE v5.0.
Baseline and up to Week 26
Number of Patients With Loss of Response With Respect to Hypertension During the RW Phase.
Week 22 (end of OL Phase) and Week 36 (Week 12 of RW Phase)

Loss of response with respect to HTN was measured using 6 criteria: 1) an increase in SBP of at least 5 mm Hg, 2) an increase in DBP of at least 5 mm Hg, 3) an increase in SBP and/or DBP of at least 5 mm Hg, 4) use of HTN rescue medication, 5) treatment discontinuation, and 6) missing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) measurement at the end of the RW Phase. Blood pressure was measured using ABPM. Use of rescue medication was defined as any increase, modification, or addition of antihypertensive medication due to worsening HTN. Treatment discontinuation reports the number of patients who discontinued study treatment in the RW Phase for any reason.

Percent of Patients who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (Part 1)
Up to 28 days after the first dose of study treatment

The percentage of patients with a DLT is used to estimate maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the most intense dose/schedule among those evaluated at which \<33% of patients experience DLT.

Number of Patients with 1 or More Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Study Drug Discontinuations or Dose Modifications (Part 1)
Time of first dose up to 30 days after last dose
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (Part 2)
From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 12 months

To evaluate PFS as the time from enrollment until first documented progressive disease (PD) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Date of first dose until PD or death, up to 18 months

To evaluate PFS as the time from enrollment until first documented progressive disease (PD) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

All treatment-emergent adverse events with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) ≥Grade 3 (severe) were recorded and summarized.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
28 days after start of dosing
Change in steady-state (C-trough) enzalutamide caused by relacorilant
28 days after start of dosing
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Dabigatran When Administered With and Without Relacorilant
