Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed Informed Consent Age >18 years Histologically confirmed metastatic or advanced prostate cancer adenocarcinoma that has received no treatment for the castration resistant disease and has progressed during treatment with complete androgen blockade (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist or antagonist and an antiandrogen eg. Bicalutamide).

Availability of a representative formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimen (FFPE) that enabled definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Two rising PSA levels >2ng/ml measured 1 week apart during or following the most recent prior therapy for prostate cancer (PCWG2 criteria) or radiographic evidence of disease progression in bone with or without biochemical disease progression on the basis of the PSA value.

Ongoing androgen deprivation, with serum testosterone <50ng/dl ECOG performance status 0-1 at screening Adequate hematologic and organ function within 14 days before the first study treatment (hematologic parameters must be assessed >14 days after a prior transfusion, if any) as defined by

• Hemoglobin >9g/dl

• Neutrophils >1500/μL

• Platelet count >100000/μL

• Total bilirubin <1,5xULN with the following exception:

o Patients with known Gilbert syndrome who have serum bilirubin<3xULN

• AST and ALT<2,5xULN with the following exception

o Patients with bone-only metastasis may have AST<5xULN, provided that ALT <2,5xULN and total bilirubin <1,5xULN

• Serum albumin >3g/dl

• Serum potassium ≥3.5mmol/L

• Serum creatinine <1,5xULN or creatinine clearance of >50ml/min based on Cockcroft-Gault equation

• Agreement by patient and/or partner to use an effective form of contraception including surgical sterilization, reliable barrier method, birth control pills, contraceptive hormone implants or true abstinence and to continue its use for the duration of the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Small cell or neuroendocrine prostate carcinoma Inability or unwillingness to swallow pills Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption Congenital long QT syndrome or QTc>480msec NYHA Class II to IV heart failure or LVEF <50% or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication Previous therapy for prostate cancer with CYP17 inhibitors including ketoconazole or investigational agents (VMT-VT-464, Orteronel etc) or novel antiandrogens (enzalutamide of OMD-208) for more than 7 days Presence of visceral metastasis History of another invasive cancer within 3 years from screening, with the exception of fully treated cancers with a remote probability of recurrence Duration of previous Androgen Deprivation Therapy <12months Active infection requiring IV antibiotics

Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following:

• unstable angina,

• myocardial infarction within 6 months from screening, or

• cerebrovascular accident within 6 months from screening Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment Treatment with an investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment Unresolved, clinical significant toxicity from prior treatment Hypersensitivity reaction to the active pharmaceutical ingredient or any of the tablet components Any medical condition that restrain the patient to comply with study and follow-up procedures Inability to comply with study and follow up procedures
