Inhibitor Therapeutics Inc. announced that the company has received Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate an IND-opening clinical study as a two-part, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2b clinical trial that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of SUBA-Itraconazole capsules dosed in combination with docetaxel and prednisone in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The Phase 2b trial is named PREDICT (Prostate Response Evaluating Docetaxel Itraconazole Combination Therapy). The PREDICT trial is expected to be carried out across approximately 35 sites in six countries in North America, Western Europe and Eastern Europe. SUBA-Itraconazole will be tested to determine its potential to address an unmet need in these patients, who exhibit disease progression or who have discontinued the other therapies due to toxicity or other reasons.
