The purpose of this study is to study the effects of EPI-7386 in combination with Enzalutamide on participants diagnosed with prostate cancer. The main goals of this study are to evaluate the antitumor activity of EPI-7386 in combination with enzalutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of EPI-7386 when dosed in combination with enzalutamide. Participants will will take the study drug, EPI-7360, twice a day by mouth and enzalutamide once a day by mouth, alongside clinic visits every two weeks.
EPI-7386 is an investigational drug that works by blocking the androgen receptor at a different site compared to the approved androgen receptor blockers. This may increase the effectiveness of this drug and increase the effectiveness of approved androgen receptor blockers when taken together. EPI-7386 is a new drug; therefore, its effectiveness and safety in prostate cancer patients must be studied before it is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. EPI-7386 is experimental because it is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Enzalutamide is approved by the FDA for patients whose prostate cancers has spread after receiving treatment. The hypothesis is that adding EPI-7386 to standard hormone therapy will be more effective in treating cancer compared to usual treatment, with the long term goal of discovering more about hormone therapy as a treatment for cancer.

Biochemical response rate
Defined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) undetectable (\<0.2 ng/mL) at 6 months after treatment. The true BRR for the study population will be estimated based on the number of biochemical responses using a binomial distribution, and its confidence interval (CI) will be estimated using Wilson's method.
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
PSA progesterone-free survival (PFS)
Progression free survival (PFS) is measured from the date of the start of the treatment to the date of progression or death and is censored at the date of last followed for those that have not progressed
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
Radiographic PFS (rPFS)
Progression free survival (PFS) is measured from the date of the start of the treatment to the date of progression or death and is censored at the date of last followed for those that have not progressed
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
ORR (confirmed)
Objective response rate (ORR)
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
AUC0-24
Plasma area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours (AUC0-24)
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Maximum concentration (Cmax)
Total Maximum concentration
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Predose Plasma Concentration
Observed predose plasma concentration during multiple dosing (Ctrough)
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)
Time it takes to reach maximum concentration
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Terminal elimination half-life
Apparent terminal elimination half-life (t½), whenever feasible to calculate
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Volume of distribution at steady state after extravascular administration
Apparent volume of distribution at steady state after extravascular administration (Vss/F)
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Clearance after extravascular administration
Apparent clearance after extravascular administration.
Time frame: Beginning of treatment day 1, at week 2, week 4, week 6
Treatment-emergent adverse events
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (characterized by type, frequency, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to study treatment)
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
Rate of abnormalities in clinical laboratory parameters
The presenece of abnormalities in clinical laboratory parameters will be measured and characterized by type, frequency, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to study treatment.
Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 11 weeks, and 20 weeks after beginning treatment
Rate of abnormalities in vital sign measurements
The presence of abnormalities in vital sign measurements will be measured and characterized by type, frequency, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to the study treatment.
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
Rate of abnormalities in electrocardiograms (ECGs)
The presence of abnormalities in ECGs will be measured and characterized by type, frequency, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to the study treatment.
Time frame: At screening and beginning of treatment on day 1 of cycle 1 (each cycle is 14 days)
Changes in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status
Changes in ECOG performance status. The ECOG performance status relies on a scale with scores ranging from 0-5, where 0 indicates the highest function, and 5 indicates lowest function.
Time frame: Post-intervention at Week 4
