A Phase II Trial of Enzalutamide in Patients With Androgen Receptor Positive (AR+) Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer and One, Two or Three Prior Therapies

This is a Phase II study. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or
bad enzalutamide has on the patient and the cancer. All patients who enter the study will be
closely monitored for side-effects. If multiple patients develop significant side effects
from enzalutamide, the study may be stopped early.

Enzalutamide is an androgen-receptor inhibitor, which means that it blocks the activity of
the hormone testosterone. In ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers that
express the androgen receptor, blocking the androgen-receptor may possibly slow or stop tumor
growth. Enzalutamide has been studied in women with breast cancer, but this is the first
study using enzalutamide for the treatment of patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or
fallopian tube cancer.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal
carcinoma. Histologic documentation of the original primary tumor is required via the
pathology report

- AR expression ≥5% by IHC. In cases where multiple blocks are available staining will
be performed on unstained slides from 3 separate blocks. If ≥ 5% AR tumor staining is
seen on ≥ 1 slide the tumor will be considered to be AR+.

- Patients with the following histologic cell types are eligible: serous adenocarcinoma,
endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma,
clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial adenocarcinoma, transitional cell
carcinoma, malignant Brenner's tumor, or adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified

- Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1. Measurable disease is defined as at least
one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension. Each lesion must
be ≥10mm when measured by CT, MRI or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or ≥ 20mm
when measured by chest x-ray. Lymph nodes must be ≥ 15mm in short axis when measured
by CT or MRI

- Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for
management of primary disease

- Patients may have received, but are not required to have received, one or two
additional cytotoxic regimens for management of recurrent or persistent disease

- Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based regimen
management of primary disease), must have a platinum-free interval of less than 12
months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease
after a platinum-based therapy

- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, non-cytotoxic
therapy (such as bevacizumab) as part of their primary treatment regimen.

- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, non-cytotoxic
therapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease

- Must be ≥ 18 years of age

- Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ 70%

- Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative
pregnancy test within 14 days prior to commencement of study treatment

- Women of child bearing potential must use an effective form of contraception during
study and for at least 6 months after completion of study treatment

- Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy

- At least 4 weeks out from their last dose of radiation therapy

- At least 4 weeks post-op from any major surgical procedure

- At least 3 weeks out from their last dose of chemotherapy and/or
biologic/targeted therapy

- No prior hormonal therapy for treatment of cancer within the past 21 days

- Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographic condition that
would potentially hamper compliance with the study protocol

- Prior use of or participation in a clinical trial evaluating and agent that either
blocks androgen synthesis (e.g. abiraterone acetate, TAK-700, TAK-683, TAK-448) or
targets the AR (e.g., bicalutamide, BMS-641988) (patients who are known to have only
received placebo in these studies are eligible)

- Laboratory Test Findings performed within 14 days prior to initiation of study drug
showing:

Bone marrow function:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mcL Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL o
Renal function: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN

o Hepatic function: Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN

- Resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior therapy to NCI CTCAE (Version 4.0)
Grade ≤ 1, with the exception of unresolved Grade 2 neuropathy and Grade 2 alopecia,
which are allowed

- Patients must be able to swallow tablets whole, without crushing

Exclusion Criteria:

- A history of another invasive malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or
curatively treated in situ carcinoma) with evidence of disease within the past 3 years

- Use of a medication known to lower the seizure threshold within 28 days of first dose
of study drug

- Known brain metastasis

- History of seizure

- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 95mmHg) despite
medical treatment. Patients with a history of hypertension are allowed provided blood
pressure is controlled by anti-hypertensive treatment.

- Clinically significant heart disease as evidenced by myocardial infarction or arterial
thrombotic event within the past 6 months, severe or unstable angina, or New York
Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IV heart disease or cardiac ejection fraction
measurement of < 50% at baseline

- Refractory nausea and vomiting, requirement for parenteral hydration and/or nutrition,
drainage gastrostomy tube, malabsorption, external biliary shunt, or significant small
bowel resection that would preclude adequate study drug absorption

- Anticipated or ongoing administration of anti-cancer therapies other than those
administered in this study
