Summary
This phase II trial studies how well opaganib works when added to androgen antagonists in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Opaganib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Androgen antagonists, such as abiraterone and enzalutamide, may help fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone made by the body, or by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells. Giving opaganib with androgen antagonists may work better than androgen antagonists alone in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer.
