• Finasteride, bicalutamide and nilutamide discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to registration.
• Physiologic doses of corticosteroids are permitted (i.e., no more than 10mg of prednisone daily).
• At least 4 weeks must have elapsed from the use of palliative radiation, Strontium-89, Radium-223, or approved immunotherapy prior to registration.
• Less than or equal to 5 half lives or 4 weeks, whichever is shorter, from the use of any investigational therapy prior to registration.

  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μl
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), or 24-hr clearance ≥50 mL/min
  • Potassium ≥ 3.5 mmol/L (within institutional normal range, or correctable with supplements)
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (unless documented Gilbert's disease)
  • SGOT (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
  • SGPT (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
  • Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c < 6.4%
• Able to take oral medication without crushing, dissolving or chewing tablets.
• Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior exposure to enzalutamide, ARN-509, or other investigational AR-directed therapy
• Prior exposure to abiraterone acetate, ketoconazole or other specific CYP-17 inhibitors
• Prior exposure to agents specifically targeting both mTOR complexes (dual TORC1+TORC2 inhibitors) and/or PI3K/AKT pathways
• Prior chemotherapy for castration resistant disease. Chemotherapy given in the castration-sensitive setting is permissible. At least 6 months from registration must have elapsed since chemotherapy was last received.
• Symptomatic central nervous system metastases
• Known history of acute or chronic pancreatitis
• Persistent diarrhea or malabsorption ≥ NCI CTCAE Grade 2, despite medical management

• Clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any of the following:

  • Unstable angina pectoris
  • Myocardial infarction ≤ 3 months prior to registration
  • Other clinically significant heart disease such as congestive heart failure requiring treatment or uncontrolled hypertension
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
• Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g., active or uncontrolled infection) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
• Major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to registration or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy. Subjects must have recovered from any effects of recent radiotherapy that might confound the safety evaluation of study drug.
• Hematopoietic stem cell transplant ≤ 3 months prior to registration.

• Adults of reproductive potential not employing two forms of birth control:

  • Males having partners who are female with child-bearing potential must agree that they and/or their partners will use at least two effective contraceptive methods (including one barrier method) when engaging in reproductive sexual activity throughout the study from the time of informed consent, and will avoid conceiving for 28 days after the last dose of CC-115.
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
• Known chronic hepatitis B or C virus (HBV/HCV) infection
• Concurrent active second malignancy for which the subject is receiving therapy, other than non-melanomatous skin cancer or superficial transitional cell carcinoma.
• History of seizure or any condition that may predispose to seizure including, but not limited to, underlying brain injury, stroke in the past 6 months, primary brain tumors, brain metastases

• Active treatment with medications that lower the seizure threshold which cannot be held:

  • Aminophylline/theophylline;
  • Atypical antipsychotics (e.g., clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, ziprasidone);
  • Bupropion;
  • Lithium;
  • Pethidine;
  • Phenothiazine antipsychotics (e.g., chlorpromazine, mesoridazine, thioridazine);

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Enzalutamide plus CC-115; The first several study participants will receive the lowest dose. If the drug does not cause serious side effects, it will be given to other study participants at a higher dose. The doses will continue to increase for every group of study participants until the maximum tolerated dose is identified. Participants at each site will participate in the dose escalation phase of the study. During the dose escalation phase, study participants will be assigned sequentially to three dose levels in groups (cohorts) of 3 to 6 subjects per dose level: Cohort 1: CC-115 at 5 mg dose twice a day & enzalutamide at 160 mg once a day. Cohort 2: CC-115 at 10 mg dose twice a day & enzalutamide at 160 mg once a day. The protocol has been amended to accrue an additional in the expansion phase treated at 7.5 mg BID. Amended to treat expansion group with 5mg BID of CC-115.

Drug: Enzalutamide; Drug: CC-115

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)	Subjects will be treated in cohorts of size three and six and the dosage will be escalated if the clinical toxicity is acceptable. The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the highest dose level with an observed incidence of DLT in no more than one out of six subjects treated at a particular dose level. A DLT will be determined by cycle 1 toxicity, although all-cycle toxicity will be recorded.	1 year
