Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
There are 2 parts to this study

Part I: Single dose

All eligible patients will receive oral c2 tablet for single does (Part I).
c2 ( at the assigned dose) will be administered as a single oral dose at the start of a 14 day observation period for patient 1 in each cohort. Subsequent patients within the cohort will be enrolled after safety review of patient 1 by the DSMB.

At each dose level, beginning with Dose Level 1, three patients will be initially enrolled. If none of the first 3 patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) then dose escalation will proceed to the next dose level. If one DLT is encountered in the first 3 patients in that dose level, then up to another 3 patients will be enrolled at that level. If another DLT occurs in that cohort, dose escalation will stop and Dose Level -1 (previous dose level) will be used for Part 2.
Otherwise, dose escalation will proceed to the next dose level.

The next dose level will be determined by agreement of the investigators and DSMB when all patients at the current dose level have completed 14 days of continuous dosing

Dose Escalation Schedule

Dose Level 1: 5 mg - 50% target dose
Dose Level 2: 10 mg -100% target dose
Dose Level 3: 40 mg - 400% target dose
Dose Level 4: 100 mg - 1000% target dose

Part II: oral c2 at a maximum of 10 mg daily, for a total of up to 6 weeks

On completion of the observation period (14 days for each patient) for the cohort, the
DSMB will conduct a safety review meeting to determine whether the cohort can Progress to Part 2.

For repeat dosing (Part 2) participants will visit the hospital weekly for review of adverse events, physical examination and laboratory tests. A weekly supply of trial drug will dispensed by the Liverpool Cancer Therapy pharmacy at each visit. Participants will also be provided with a patient diary to record any possible adverse events

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 305296 0
(i) To determine preliminary safety and tolerability of c2 in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

In Part 2, limited pharmacokinetic sampling will be conducted at baseline (T0) and 2 hrs
after dosing on the first day of continuous daily dosing, then again on day 8, 15, 22 and
43.
Secondary outcome [2] 347608 0
Serum PSA
Timepoint [2] 347608 0
PSA will be measured within 7 days prior to dosing and approximately every 3 weeks for
the duration of the study.
Secondary outcome [3] 347609 0
Urinary hGIIA
Timepoint [3] 347609 0

All patients who are treated with c2 will be evaluated for safety.
All patients who have received c2 and have at least four measured c2 levels over a 24 hr
period will be included in the pharmacokinetic analysis.
Change in PSA will be determined from baseline to the end of study. Change in urinary

Summary
Brief summary
This is a first-in-human study of a new PLA2 inhibitor drug called c2.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are 18 or older and have prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy.

Study details
All participants in this study will receive the study drug (called c2), which is an oral pill. In the first part of the study, volunteers will be divided into 4 cohorts, each taking a different single dose of the medication. In the second part of the study, participants will take at a maximum of 10mg the study drug. Participants will be monitored for adverse events and medication efficacy, and provide blood and urine for analysis.

It is hoped this research will provide evidence about this medication and lay the groundwork for future studies of this drug.
