COMPASS for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Official title: COMPASS: Correlative COMPAnion Study to Predict SYNERGY-201 Clinical Trial Responders
Run by Duke University · NCT07050433 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This companion study tests whether a biomarker called CXCR2 in blood or tumor tissue can predict who benefits from the SYNERGY-201 drug combination (SX-682 plus enzalutamide) in people with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer who are enrolled in SYNERGY-201.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults (over 18) with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer who are already enrolled in the SYNERGY‑201 trial and willing to provide blood samples and, if asked, tumor biopsies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not enrolled in SYNERGY‑201, those unwilling or unable to provide consent or the required blood/tissue samples, or those with medical conditions that would confound biomarker measurements are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
COMPASS is an observational companion study to the SYNERGY-201 treatment trial that enrolls only participants already on SYNERGY-201. Researchers will collect blood samples at Baseline, Cycle 3 Day 1, and End of Study Drug to measure CXCR2 and other biomarkers, and up to 20 participants may undergo tumor biopsies at Baseline and Cycle 3 Day 1. The study will track how these biomarkers change over time with treatment and correlate biomarker levels with clinical responses. Data are intended to identify whether CXCR2 can serve as a predictive marker for benefit from SX-682 plus enzalutamide.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could help identify which patients are most likely to benefit from the SX-682 plus enzalutamide combination, enabling more personalized treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Companion biomarker studies are commonly used and prior research links CXCR2 signaling to cancer biology, but using CXCR2 specifically to predict response to SX-682 plus enzalutamide is a relatively novel application.
