Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Stage 1 and 2

    Time frame: From study enrolment until participant discontinuation, or first occurrence of progressive disease, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (approximately 3-5 years)

    ORR defined as the composite proportion of participants with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and/or radiographic complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) determined by the investigator according to the Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria

  2. Incidence and Severity of AEs and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in Stage 1

    Time frame: From first dose date to 90 days after the last dose (approximately 1.5 years)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants with a PSA response in Stage 1 and 2

    Time frame: From study enrollment until disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (approximately 3-5 years)

    PSA response defined as the proportion of participants with a confirmed PSA decrease from baseline of 50% or more based on two consecutive assessments measured 3 to 4 weeks apart

  2. Percentage of participants with Radiographic Response in Stage 1 and 2

    Time frame: From study enrollment until disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (approximately 3-5 years)

    Radiographic Response is measurable disease at baseline who achieved a best overall response of CR or PR according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

  3. Percentage of Participants with Disease Control Rate in Stage 1 and 2

    Time frame: From study enrollment until disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (approximately 3-5 years)

    Disease Control Rate is defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline who achieved a best overall RECIST response of CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD).

  4. Serum/Plasma Concentration for etrumadenant, zimberelimab, and enzalutamide when administered as part of a combination regimen in Stage 1 and 2.

    Time frame: Recorded at baseline (enrollment), during the first 5 months of treatment and 3 additional timepoints in the first year of treatment. (approximately 1.5 years)
