Researchers leading this study hope to learn about the safety of combining the study drug relugolix with another study drug called itraconazole or ritonavir in prostate cancer. This study is for individuals who have advanced prostate cancer and plans to have medical castration (the use of medications or chemicals to lower hormone production in the testicles). Your participation in this research will last up to 1 month. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of relugolix in combination with ritonavir or itraconazole. The goal of this research is to find out if combining two medications (relugolix and itraconazole or relugolix and ritonavir) could possibly lead to using less relugolix, which is an expensive drug.

Testosterone Suppression of Participants as Assessed by Testosterone Levels
To determine whether the addition of itraconazole and ritonavir to relugolix sustains testosterone suppression as assessed by participant testosterone levels.
Time frame: 1 month post start of treatment
Decrease in Relugolix Levels
To evaluate whether itraconazole or ritonavir significantly decreases relugolix clearance in participants with prostate cancer as assessed by relugolix serum levels on days 8 and 15.
Time frame: 1 month post start of treatment
Reduction in Prostate-Specific Antigens Levels of Participants After Study Treatment
To evaluate the efficacy of itraconazole or ritonavir combined with relugolix in patients with prostate cancer as assessed by a reduction in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels of patients after study treatment.
Time frame: 1 month post start of treatment
Rate of Reported Adverse Events Among Participants
To evaluate the safety of itraconazole or ritonavir combined with longer interval relugolix dosing regimens in patients with prostate cancer as assessed by the rate of reported adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.
Time frame: 1 month post start of treatment
