Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of everolimus plus enzalutamide.
6-8 months

MTD will be determined by testing increasing doses of everolimus with standard dose enzalutamide in 3-patient dose escalation cohorts. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which ≤1 of 6 patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during 1 cycle (28 days) of therapy, assessed according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate
every 8 weeks for up to 24 months

PSA response will be measured by the percent decreased from the reported baseline value. The proportion of patients with documented PSA decreases of 50% and 85% in PSA levels will be reported separately.

Number of patients with serious and non-serious adverse events.
every 4 weeks up to 24 months

Evaluate the safety of the combination per CTCAE v4.0, every 4 weeks from date of first study treatment until the date of documented progression, up to 24 months.

Pharmacokinetic sampling for everolimus
Cycle 1, Day 1: prior to initial dose and 2hrs post-dose; Cycles 2 and 3, Day 1: prior to initial dose

Levels of everolimus in blood samples will be collected from patients at selected timepoints prior to dosing during the first 3 cycles of treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

Time to PSA progression
every 8 weeks up to 24 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
every 8 weeks up to 24 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)
every 8 weeks up to 24 months
