According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 51 people in total across four groups: 8 in Dose Escalation Cohort 1, 6 in Dose Escalation Cohort 2a, 7 in Dose Escalation Cohort 2b, and 30 in the Dose Expansion group. The trial was testing a combination of two medicines — ipatasertib and rucaparib — in people with prostate cancer. It was primarily measuring unwanted medical events (called adverse events) that participants experienced, serious side effects that set a ceiling on how high the dose could go (called dose-limiting toxicities), and whether participants' PSA levels — a protein in the blood often tracked in prostate cancer — dropped by at least half. The reported data shows that every participant across all four groups (100%) experienced at least one adverse event. Regarding serious dose-limiting side effects, the reported figures were 12.5% of participants in Cohort 1, 33.3% in Cohort 2a, and 0% in Cohort 2b. For the PSA measure — a drop of 50% or more — the reported data shows 0% of Cohort 1 participants met this threshold, compared with 33.3% in Cohort 2a, 25.0% in Cohort 2b, and 23.1% in the Dose Expansion group. On a separate measure looking at tumour shrinkage based on scans, the reported rate of participants whose tumours shrank meaningfully was 0% in each of the three dose-escalation cohorts and 13.3% in the Dose Expansion group. The reported data shows that the time until the disease progressed or participants died (called radiographic progression-free survival) had a middle value of 11.0 months in Cohort 1, 3.0 months in Cohort 2a, 5.1 months in Cohort 2b, and 7.2 months in the Dose Expansion group. The duration of response figure for the Dose Expansion group was not reported in the submitted data. Notably, none of the 51 participants were recorded as having completed the study.

- People with a life expectancy of at least 3 months
- People who are able to swallow tablets or capsules
- People whose blood counts fall within acceptable ranges — including white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells — tested within 28 days before starting treatment, without having needed a blood transfusion in the prior 28 days
- People whose liver, kidney, and other organ function test results fall within acceptable ranges, tested within 28 days before starting treatment
- People whose fasting blood sugar is no higher than 150 mg/dL and whose longer-term blood sugar marker (HbA1c) is no higher than 7.5%
- People whose side effects from any previous cancer treatments have settled down to a mild level (except for hair loss or nerve-related symptoms)
- People with a confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer (note: breast and ovarian cancer patients may only join Part 1 of the trial; prostate cancer patients may join Part 1 or Part 2)
- People whose cancer has either spread to other parts of the body or is locally advanced and cannot be cured with current treatment
- For ovarian cancer (Part 1 only): People with a specific high-grade type of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have already received at least one platinum-based chemotherapy, have a raised CA-125 blood marker (more than twice the upper normal limit), and have measurable disease on scans
- For breast cancer (Part 1 only): People with HER2-negative breast cancer (either hormone receptor-positive or triple-negative) who have received certain prior treatments, have not received more than two prior chemotherapy treatments for metastatic disease, and have measurable disease on scans
- For prostate cancer: People with a specific type of prostate cancer (adenocarcinoma, without small cell or neuroendocrine features) whose testosterone is at a very low level due to surgical or medical castration, who have shown signs of cancer progression (by PSA blood tests or scans), who have already received at least one second-generation hormone-blocking treatment (such as abiraterone or enzalutamide), and who have measurable disease on scans or bone lesions visible on a bone scan
- People who are able to provide a tumour tissue sample (a preserved tissue block or at least 12 tumour slides from the most recent biopsy) for central laboratory analysis — samples from bone metastases or fine needle aspirates are not acceptable
- People of childbearing potential who agree to use specified contraception during treatment and for at least 28 days after the last dose of ipatasertib, or 6 months after the last dose of rucaparib, whichever comes later
Who may not be able to join:
- People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study or within 28 days after the last dose of ipatasertib, or 6 months after the last dose of rucaparib
- People who have previously been treated with a PARP inhibitor, AKT inhibitor, or PI3K inhibitor (a specific group of targeted cancer drugs)
- People who have received any other experimental treatment within 14 days before starting this trial
- People who have cancer that has spread to the brain or nervous system and is causing symptoms, or has not yet been treated
- People with cancer-related pain that is not well controlled
- People who have had a minor surgical procedure within 5 days, or a major surgical procedure within 14 days, before starting the trial
- People with an active hepatitis C infection
- People with a current or past hepatitis B infection, indicated by a positive hepatitis B surface antigen or DNA test
- People with a known HIV infection
- People who, in the investigator's assessment, have misused alcohol or illicit drugs within the 12 months before screening
- People with a condition that affects the body's ability to absorb food or medication through the gut
- People who have had a serious infection requiring antibiotics within 14 days before starting treatment
- People with any serious medical condition or abnormal test results that, in the investigator's judgement, would make participation unsafe
- People who require ongoing use of corticosteroids (such as prednisone) at a dose of 10 mg per day or more, or an equivalent dose of similar anti-inflammatory or immune-suppressing medications, for a long-term condition
- People who have had another cancer within the past 5 years — with some exceptions, such as certain treated skin cancers, melanoma in situ, certain low-grade bladder cancers, or other cancers where curative treatment was received and the doctor considers the chance of return to be less than 5% over 5 years
- People with a history of significant heart or cardiovascular problems
- People with any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would make participation unsafe or affect the reliability of trial results
- Specific to the drug ipatasertib: People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who require insulin at the time of joining the study
- Specific to ipatasertib: People with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) or active bowel inflammation (such as diverticulitis)
- Specific to ipatasertib: People who have taken certain strong medications known to significantly affect how the body processes drugs (called strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers) within 4 weeks before starting the trial, or within five half-lives of that medication, whichever is longer (confirm with trial site)
