A Study to Learn About the Investigational Drug Rinzimetostat (ORIC-944) in Patients With mCRPC Who Were 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.

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell features
  • Progressive disease in the setting of surgical or medical castration with evidence of disease progression on treatment with abiraterone acetate in the mCSPC setting or first line mCRPC setting is required

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

    Time frame: Randomization up to ~4 years

    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
