Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. Participants will take the drug Opevesostat alone or in combination with other treatments to see how safe and effective it is.

Substudy 01A is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U01).
The goal of substudy 01A is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of opevesostat-based treatment combinations, or as a single agent, in participants with mCRPC.
This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for the opevesostat-based treatment combinations. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.
