- Phase 2a (both arms): Disease response as defined by at least one of the following: Objective response by modified RECIST v1.1, PSA response, or circulating tumor cell count (CTC) response. [ Time Frame: From 6 weeks of treatment (Cycle 3 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]
- Phase 1b (both arms): Incidence of dose-limiting-toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose of PLX2853 and combination agent(s) through completion of Cycle 1 (21 days). ]
- Phase 1b (both arms): Incidence of TEAEs that are related to treatment [ Time Frame: From time of first dose of PLX2853 and combination agent(s) until 30 days from end of treatment. ]
- Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From 6 weeks of treatment (Cycle 3 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]Radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) will be calculated for each subject as the number of days from the first day of PLX2853 and combination agent(s) treatment (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the date of the first documented disease progression by either RECIST v.1.1 or on bone scan.
- Time to PSA Progression (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From 3 weeks of treatment (Cycle 2 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]PSA progression (defined per PCWG3 as a ≥25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥2 ng/mL above the nadir, which is confirmed by a second consecutive value obtained 3 or more weeks later).
- Duration of PSA Response (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From 3 weeks of treatment (Cycle 3 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]Duration of PSA response will be calculated for each subject with a PSA response as the time from date of first documented, confirmed response (CR or PR) using PCWG3 until date of documented progression confirmed at least 3 weeks later, or death from any cause.
- Overall Survival (OS) (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose until completion of long term follow-up, approximately 30 months. ]Overall survival (OS) will be calculated for each subject as the number of days from the first day of PLX2853 treatment and combination agent(s) (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the date of death from any cause. If a subject is lost to follow-up, OS is censored at the date of last contact.
- Incidence of all TEAEs (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose of PLX2853 and combination agent(s) until 30 days from end of treatment. ]
- Incidence of TEAEs that result in dose interruption, reduction or discontinuation (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose of PLX2853 and combination agent(s) until 30 days from end of treatment. ]
- PLX2853 PK parameter AUC0-24 (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose until 30 days from end of treatment. ]AUC from time zero extrapolated to 24 hours (AUC0-24)
- PLX2853 PK parameter Cmax (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose until 30 days from end of treatment. ]Maximum observed concentration
- PLX2853 PK parameter T1/2 (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose until 30 days from end of treatment. ]terminal elimination half-life (T1/2)
- Best Overall Response (BOR) (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From 6 weeks of treatment (Cycle 3 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]Best Overall Response (BOR) per RECIST v1.1 will be calculated for each subject with a minimum interval for confirmation of CR and PR of 4 weeks.
- Duration of Response (DOR) (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From 6 weeks of treatment (Cycle 3 Day 1; 21 days per cycle) until completion of long term follow-up, an average of 6 months. ]Time from date of first documented, confirmed response using RECIST v1.1 and PCWG3 until date of documented progression or death from any cause.
- Time to first Symptomatic Skeletal-Related Event (SSRE) (both arms, both phases) [ Time Frame: From time of first dose until 30 days from end of treatment. ]
Time to first Symptomatic Skeletal-Related Event (SSRE) defined as:
- Use of radiation therapy to prevent or relieve skeletal symptoms.
- Occurrence of new symptomatic pathological bone fractures (vertebral or non-vertebral). Radiologic documentation is required.
- Occurrence of spinal cord compression. Radiologic documentation required.
- Orthopedic surgical intervention for bone metastasis.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior exposure to a bromodomain inhibitor.
- History of autoimmune hemolytic anemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia.
- Clinically significant cardiac disease.
- Inability to take oral medication or significant nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, or significant small bowel resection that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude adequate absorption.
-
Active known second malignancy with the exception of any of the following:
- Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Adequately treated Stage I cancer from which the subject is currently in remission and has been in remission for ≥2 years.
- Any other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for ≥3 years.
- Subject is participating in any other therapeutic clinical study (observational or registry studies are allowed).
- Presence of any other medical, psychological, familial, sociological, or geographic condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol or would interfere with the study endpoints or the subject's ability to participate in the study in the judgment of the Investigator.
- Receipt of any anti-cancer therapy prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 with less than protocol defined wash-out with the exception of Abiraterone Acetate (for subjects enrolling into Abiraterone Acetate Combination) and GnRH therapy.
