About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label Study of Rinzimetostat (ORIC-944) in Combination With Darolutamide Compared With ARPI or Docetaxel in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Abiraterone Acetate (Himalayas-1)

Himalayas-1 is a randomized, open-label, global, multicenter phase 3 study evaluating whether the combination of rinzimetostat with darolutamide is more effective compared to physician's choice of control; ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for treating patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were previously treated with abiraterone acetate.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superiority in radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of the investigational arm of rinzimetostat + darolutamide combination versus physician's choice of control: ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Radiographic Progression Free Survival assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1 and Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3)

    Radiographic Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first evidence of radiographic progression as assessed in soft tissue by RECIST 1.1 or in bone per PCWG3 guideline by BICR, or death, whichever occurs first

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as proportion of patients with measurable soft tissue disease at baseline who have a confirmed objective response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    DOR is defined as time of first response to first documentation of radiographic progression or death, whichever occurs first

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  4. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response

    Defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed ≥50% and ≥90% decline in PSA from baseline as per the PCWG3 criteria, along with the maximum decline in PSA occurring at any point on study

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  5. Time to PSA progression

    Measured from the start of treatment until criteria for PSA progression are met as per PCWG3

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  6. Time to initiation of antineoplastic therapy

    Time from randomization to first symptomatic skeletal event (symptomatic bone fractures, spinal cord compression, surgery or radiation to the bone whichever is first)

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  7. Time to first symptomatic skeletal event

    Time from randomization to first symptomatic skeletal event (symptomatic bone fractures, spinal cord compression, surgery or radiation to the bone whichever is first) Compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) between the investigational treatment and control arms

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  8. Change from baseline in patient reported pain symptoms per Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF)

    Analysis of Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) will be based on the pain severity score (mean of individual BPI-SF items 3, 4, 5 and 6), the pain interference score (the mean of items 9A-9G), and the single BPI-SF Item 3 which asks the patient to rate pain at its worst in the last 24 hours

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  9. Change from baseline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P)

    Change from baseline in HRQoL (FACT-P total score) will be presented. The FACT-P total score will be calculated based on the participant responses to the 39 items in the FACT-P questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 0 to 4 Likert-type scale and then combined to produce the FACT-P total score (0-156), with higher scores representing better health-related quality of life

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  10. Change from baseline in social/family well-being per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P)

    Change from baseline in social/family well-being score will be presented. The social/family well-being score will be calculated based on 7 items in the FACT-P questionnaire; score range 0-28. Each item is rated on a 0 to 4 Likert-type scale

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  11. Change from baseline in functioning well-being per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P)

    Change from baseline in functioning well-being score will be presented. The functioning well-being score will be calculated based on 7 items in the FACT-P questionnaire; score range 0-28. Each item is rated on a 0 to 4 Likert-type scale

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  12. Change from baseline in physical well-being per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P)

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  14. Change from baseline in patient reported health status per European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)

    Participants will self-rate their current state of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression by choosing 1 of 5 possible responses that record the level of severity (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, or extreme problems) within each dimension. The questionnaire also includes a visual analog scale to self-rate general health state on a scale from "the worst health you can imagine" to "the best health you can imagine."

    Measured: Randomization up to ~4 years

  15. Symptomatic toxicity as measured by items from the Patient-Reported Outcome CTCAE (PRO-CTCAE)

    Each selected PRO-CTCAE items will be assessed related to one or more attributes that include counts for the frequency, severity, and/or interference with usual or daily activities

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  16. Overall side effect burden as measured by the FACT- GP5

    The FACT-GP5 question assesses overall side effect burden with the following response options "I am bothered by side effects of treatment," is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from "not at all" (0) to "very much" (4) and counts will be presented

    Measured: Randomization up to ~2 years

  17. Time to confirmatory deterioration in patient-reported pain symptoms per BPI-SF Item 3 "worst pain in 24 hours"

    Defined as the time from randomization to onset of pain progression, which is defined as > 2-point increase from baseline in the score from the BPI-SF Question 3 that is confirmed at the next consecutive assessment > 4 weeks apart or an initial deterioration followed by death before the next assessment
