• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x ULN (or =< 5.0 x ULN if hepatic metastases are present)
• For patients without known type II diabetes, the following is required at screening:
  • Fasting plasma glucose =< 160 mg/dL (7.49 mmol/L) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) < 7.5 % or International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) < 53 mmol/mol
• For patients with type II diabetes receiving only oral anti-hyperglycemic therapy (patients receiving insulin are not eligible), the following are required at screening:
  • HbA1c < 8.5 % or IFCC < 69.4 mmol/mol
  • Stable regimen of oral anti-hyperglycemic therapy without insulin usage for at least 3 weeks prior to first study treatment
  • Fasting plasma glucose levels =< 160 mg/dL (8.88 mmol/L) and no hypoglycemia (blood sugar [BS] < 60) during home monitoring for at least 1 week prior to study entry
• Patients must be able to swallow and retain oral medication
• For patients who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus), agreement to remain abstinent or to use two adequate methods of contraception (e.g., condoms, diaphragm, vasectomy/vasectomized partner, tubal ligation), during the treatment period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or 3 months after discontinuation of taselisib and/or enzalutamide, whichever is longer; hormone based oral contraceptives are not allowed on study; postmenopausal is defined as:
  • Age >= 60 years
  • Age =< 60 years and amenorrheic for 12 months in the absence of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression; or follicle stimulating hormone and estradiol in the postmenopausal range

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any kind of malabsorption syndrome significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, including history of Crohn's disease or inflammatory bowel disease
