The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility to degrade (and inhibit) Androgen Receptor. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a cereblon ligand which binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds Androgen Receptor, such that Androgen Receptor is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of Androgen Receptor. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present disclosure, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of Androgen Receptor.

Described are RORγ modulators of the formula (I), or stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof, wherein all substituents are defined herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. Such compounds and compositions are useful in methods for modulating RORγ activity in a cell and methods for treating a subject suffering from a disease or disorder in which the subject would therapeutically benefit from modulation of RORγ activity, for example, autoimmune and/or inflammatory disorders. ##STR00001##
