About This Prostate Cancer Study in West Los Angeles

The purpose of this study is to learn about how an investigational drug intervention completed before doing prostate surgery (specifically, radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection) may help in treatment of high risk localized prostate cancers that are most resistant to standard treatments. This is a phase II research study. For this study, capivasertib, the study drug, will be taken with intensified androgen deprivation drugs (iADT; abiraterone and leuprolide) prior to radical prostatec

Be willing to provide tissue from a diagnostic biopsy core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion obtained up to 6 months/180 days prior to initiation of treatment on Day 1. Subjects for whom samples cannot be provided (e.g., inaccessible or subject safety concern) may submit an older archived specimen only upon agreement from the Sponsor-Investigator.
Tumor tissue must be provided for biomarker analysis. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining must be less than or equal to 10% as determined by the central lab. If insufficient tumor tissue content is provided for analysis, acquisition of additional archived tumor tissue (block and /or slides) for the biomarker analysis is required

Contraception should be considered in females' partners of men taking capivasertib who are of childbearing potential
Able and willing to swallow and retain oral medication
Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined by laboratory parameters including ANC, platelets, hemoglobin, transaminases, albumin, hemoglobin A1C, CrCl or eGFR, PTT and INR (unless anticoagulated, then therapeutic range is acceptable). All screening labs should be performed within 30 days of treatment initiation

Exclusion Criteria

As judged by the investigator, any evidence of diseases (such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension, renal transplant and active bleeding diseases, uncontrolled pulmonary, renal, or hepatic dysfunction, uncontrolled infection, cardiac disease) which, in the investigator's opinion, makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study or that would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
Any other disease, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, render the patient at high risk from treatment complications or interferes with obtaining informed consent.
Known to have active hepatitis infection, positive hepatitis C antibody, hepatitis B virus surface antigen or hepatitis B virus core antibody, at screening. Known to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with a CD4+ T-cell count \< 350 cells/uL or a history of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic infection within the past 12 months. Known to have active tuberculosis infection (clinical evaluation that may include clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, or tuberculosis testing in line with local practice). Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months of screening.
Prior prostate cancer treatment including:
Anti-androgen therapy including orchiectomy, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) therapy, abiraterone, ketoconazole, estrogen therapy (Short-term ADT allowed, less than or equal to 2 months)
Radiation (external beam or brachytherapy)
Cytotoxic chemotherapy
Focal or ablative therapy
Any experimental therapy for treatment of prostate cancer.
History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease greater than or equal to 5 years before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy
