3. Definition of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT): A DLT is defined as one of the following toxicities occurring mainly but not exclusively during the
DLT assessment window of Cycle 0 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 28 (35 day assessment window) and
is highly probably or probably related to either AZD5363 or enzalutamide (see causal attribution
guidance in Table 8):
1. Grade ≥3 non‐hematologic, non–hepatic major organ adverse event, excluding the following:
a. Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that resolves to Grade ≤1 within 7 days with
appropriate supportive care.
b. Grade 3 rash that resolves rapidly upon discontinuation of drug with appropriate
supportive measures.

by laboratory blood glucose evaluation.
9. Any Grade >3 elevation of hepatic transaminases (ALT or AST) OR total bilirubin lasting >48
hours will be considered a DLT with the following exceptions:
a. For patients with elevated hepatic transaminase at baseline due to documented liver
metastasis (i.e. <5 x ULN), hepatic transaminase >8x ULN for >48 hours will be
considered a DLT.
b. For patients with elevated total bilirubin at baseline due to documented liver
metastasis or Gilbert's disease (i.e. ³1.5 x ULN), total bilirubin of >2.5x ULN will be
considered a DLT.
10. Any case involving an increase in hepatic transaminase >3 x ULN and an increase in total
bilirubin >2 x ULN, without any findings of cholestasis AND in the absence of other
contributory factors (e.g. worsening of metastatic disease or concomitant exposure to known
hepatotoxic agent) is suggestive of potential drug‐induced liver injury according to Hy’s Law
and will be considered a DLT.
11. Any other toxicity, which in the view of the investigators is considered to be a DLT, at any
time during the study. These cases will be discussed at the SRC meetings.

4. Research Sample Collection Schedule:
5. Research Sample Methods:Pharmacokinetic analysis:
Plasma concentration was measured by a fully validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass
spectrometry (LCMSMS) method and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters maximum plasma
concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), the area under the plasma concentration
time curve (AUC) were derived from non-compartmental analysis (Phoenix version 6.4).
Geometric means of AUC and Cmax were derived at each dose level and dose normalized for
comparison with or without enzalutamide with a 90% confidence interval
Pharmacodynamic analysis:
Measurement of phosphorylated Ser9 and total GSK3β were undertaken on PRP using an
assay validated to Good Clinical Practice standards on the MesoScale Discovery (MSD®)
technology platforms1,2. In addition, phosphorylated Thr246 and total PRAS40 were
7
immunofluorescent stained, imaged by confocal microscopy and quantified using IN Cell
translator and developer software (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) in fixed hair follicles3,4.
Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS):
Targeted sequencing was performed as previously described5. Libraries were constructed from
40ng of DNA using GeneRead Mix-n-Match V2 (Qiagen®; Hilden, Germany) customized 113
genes panel and pooled libraries were sequenced on the MiSeq (Illumina®; San Diego, CA,
USA). FASTQ files were generated using the Illumina MiSeq Reporter v2.5.1.3. Sequence
alignments were performed using BWA tools and the GATK variant annotator by the Qiagen
GeneRead Targeted Exon Enrichment Panel Data Analysis web Portal.
PTEN Immunohistochemistry:
PTEN protein expression was determined by IHC on 4-mm-thick FFPE sections as previously
described6. Nuclear and cytoplasmic staining intensity were semi-quantitatively assessed by a
pathologist blinded to clinical outcome data using the H-score formula: formula: [(% of weak
staining cells) x 1] + [(% of moderate staining cells) x 2] + [(% of strong staining cells) x 3]. IHC
quantification is presented as H-scores (HS), ranging from 0 (minimum) to 300 (maximum)7. A
binary classification scheme as previously published8 was used with cases considered PTEN
normal if H-score >10 and PTEN loss if H-score≤10.
AdnaTestTM mRNA extraction, cDNA conversion and AdnaTestTM CTC Call
Isolation and enrichment of CTCs from CRPC patient peripheral blood (PB) draws was carried
out as previously described9. CTC calls for each sample are presented as CTC call positive
(actin positive and either PSMA and/or PSA and/or EGFR positive; CTC+), CTC call negative
(actin positive all other markers negative; CTC-) or failed cDNA conversion (actin negative;
failed).
mRNA quantification of AR-FL and AR-V7
CTC+ samples were used for the measurement and quantification of AR-V7 transcripts as
previously described9. AR-V7 status is presented as continuous (copies/mL) and binary (present
≥ 1 copy/mL and absent < 1 copy/mL) outcomes.
IHC staining for AR-V7 and pERK protein expression
8
IHC for AR-V7 (Clone RM7, GTX33604, GeneTex) and pERK (Clone D13.14.4E, 4370, Cell
Signalling Technology) was performed on CRPC patient biopsies as previously described10. All
tissue blocks from CRPC biopsies were sectioned and only considered for IHC analyses if
adequate tumour material was present (≥ 50 tumour cells by author DNR). For AR-V7 IHC
(Clone RM7, GTX33604, GeneTex), following antigen retrieval (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH8.1) in
microwave for 18 minutes at 800W, the antibody was diluted (1:500) in Dako REAL diluent
(Dako, Agilent Technologies) and tissue was incubated for 1 hour. For pERK IHC (Clone
D13.14.4E, 4370, Cell Signalling Technology), following antigen retrieval (Citrate buffer, pH6.0)
in microwave for 18 minutes at 800W, the antibody was diluted (1:400) in Dako REAL diluent
(Dako, Agilent Technologies) and tissue was incubated for 1 hour. After washes, bound
antibody was visualized using the Dako EnVision Detection System (Dako, Agilent
Technologies). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Mouse xenografts from 22Rv1
(AR-V7 positive) and PC3 (AR-V7 negative), and cell pellets from VCaP (AR-V7 positive) and
DU145 (AR-V7 negative), were used as controls for AR-V7 IHC. Cell pellets from 22Rv1 treated
with vehicle (pERK positive) or trametinib (pERK negative) were used as controls for pERK IHC.
Rabbit IgGs were used as negative controls. Nuclear AR-V7 expression was determined for
each case by an experienced pathologist (DNR) in a blinded fashion using a modified H-score
method and pERK expression was reported as percentage positive cells11.
CellSearchTM CTC enumeration
CTC counts were determined from mCRPC patient PB draw using the CellSearchTM CTC Kit
(Menarini, Silicon Biosystems) according to the FDA-cleared manufacturer’s method as
previously described9,12,13. Identification and enumeration of CTC was done in a blinded fashion
and reported as CTC count per 7.5mLs of peripheral blood.

change from baseline.
