About this study
In plain language
The COMPASS study is for people with prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to treatment that lowers testosterone. They must also be in the SYNERGY-201 trial, which tests SX-682 with enzalutamide. COMPASS studies biomarkers—signs in blood or tumor tissue—to see if one called CXCR2 can predict who benefits from these drugs and how these signs change during treatment.
This study is a companion to the SYNERGY-201 clinical trial (NCT06228053), which investigates SX-682 and enzalutamide in individuals with prostate cancer. Individuals must be participating in SYNERGY-201 in order to participate in this study. The purpose of this companion study is to learn more about biomarkers, particularly a biomarker called CXCR2, and investigate if CXCR2 can predict who will receive benefit from the SYNERGY-201 drug combination. This study will also investigate how CXCR2 and other biomarkers change over time when participants receive the SYNERGY-201 drug combination. CXCR2 is of particular interest because the SYNERGY-201 drug, SX-682, inhibits CXCR2. After participants provide consent, blood samples will be collected for research purposes at three SYNERGY-201 visits (Baseline, Cycle 3 Day 1 and End of Study Drug). Up to 20 participants will also receive tumor biopsies at the Baseline and SYNERGY-201 Cycle 3 Day 1 visits. Clinical and study data collected as part of SYNERGY-201 will also be used for this study.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
