Study Summary

This study will evaluate the response rate of MLN8237 in patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspected metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). MLN8237 is an orally administered Aurora kinase A inhibitor that has demonstrated broad antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. In preclinical models, aurora kinase inhibition resulted in dramatic and preferential anti-tumor activity in NEPC with suppression of neuroendocrine marker expression.

Primary Outcome

Evaluated per RECIST 1.1 guidelines: Complete response (CR) is defined as complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable lesions by physical examination or imaging studies and normalization of PSA with no appearance of new lesions for \> 1 month. Partial response (PR) is defined as a 30% 56 or greater reduction in the sum longest unidimensional diameter of all measurable lesions. There may be no new lesions. Stable Disease (SD) is characterized by patients who do not meet the criteria of
