Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed prostate cancer, currently with objective progressive
disease.
- Castrate level of testosterone (<50 ng/dL).
- Baseline circulating tumor cell (CTC) count ≥10/7.5 mL blood.

within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment or 5 half-lives of the
compound or active metabolite, whichever is shorter.

bisphosphonates) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.

requiring current treatment including steroids and anti-convulsants.
- The subject has a corrected QT interval calculated by the Fridericia formula (QTcF)
>450 ms at screening.

event) within 6 months of study treatment
- Myocardial infarction within 6 months of study treatment
- History of thromboembolic event requiring therapeutic anticoagulation within 6
months of study treatment or main portal vein or vena cava thrombosis or
occlusion.
