AMG 386 and Abiraterone for Advanced Prostate Cancer

• INCLUSION CRITERIA:
• Must have metastatic, progressive, castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with radiographic evidence of disease that has continued to progress radiographically or biochemically (rising prostatic specific antigen (PSA) levels on successive measurements) despite adequate androgen-deprivation therapy. If patients had been on flutamide, disease progression is documented 4 weeks or more after withdrawal. For patients on bicalutamide or nilutamide disease progression is documented 6 or more weeks after withdrawal. Flutamide, nilutamide and bicalutamide disease progression requirements only apply to patients who have been on these drugs for at least the prior 6 months.
• Histopathological confirmation of prostate cancer by the Laboratory of Pathology of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) or Walter Reed National Military Medical Center prior to entering this study. Patients enrolled at participating sites may have histopathological confirmation at the enrolling center prior to entering the study. Patients whose pathology specimens are no longer available may be enrolled if the patient has a clinical course that is consistent with prostate cancer and available documentation from an outside pathology laboratory of the diagnosis. All efforts should be made to have the material forwarded to the research team for use in correlative studies in cases where original tissue blocks or archival biopsy material is available.
• Patients must have metastatic disease, defined as at least one lesion on bone scan or at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >20 mm with conventional techniques or as >10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam.
• Patients participating in the study must have Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).
• Patients who have received docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic castrate sensitive prostate cancer are eligible for the study. (Patients may enroll as long as they did not have progressive disease while on docetaxel and are 6 months removed from treatment, with all treatment related toxicities resolving to at least grade 1.)
• Patients may not have had more than 7 days of treatment with ketoconazole by mouth in the past 6 months.
• Males greater than or equal to 18 years of age. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use AMG 386 in combination with abiraterone in patients 3 months for the run in phase and > 6 months for the randomized phase.
• Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function with:
• Leukocytes greater than or equal to 3000/mu L
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1500/mu L
• Platelets greater than or equal to 100000/mu L
• Total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times institutional upper limits of normal
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(SGOT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 times institutional upper limits of normal
• Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) less than or equal to 1.5 times upper limits of normal (ULN) per institutional laboratory range and international normalized ratio (INR) less than or equal to 5
• Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times institutional upper limits of normal

OR

• Creatinine clearance of >40 mL/min per 24 h urine collection or calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula

---Creatinine clearance (CrCl) (mL/min) = (((140-age) times actual body weight (kg))/(72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)))*(x 0.85 for females)

• Urinary protein less than or equal to 30 mg/dL in urinalysis or less than or equal to1+ on dipstick, unless quantitative protein is grade 1 is permitted.
• The effects of AMG 386 on the
