About this trial
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell histology
Has prostate cancer progression while on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (or post bilateral orchiectomy) within 6 months prior to Screening
Has current evidence of distant metastatic disease (M1 disease) documented by either bone lesions on bone scan and/or soft tissue disease by computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Has received prior treatment with 1 or 2 androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and progressed during or after at least 8 weeks of treatment
Disqualifiers
Is unable to swallow tablets/capsules
Has any history of ILD/pneumonitis that required steroid use, except for a history of radiation pneumonitis that did not require steroids
Has current ILD/pneumonitis
Has a clinical or radiographic suspicion of ILD for which the diagnosis of ILD cannot be ruled out

Treatments tested in this trial
Ifinatamab deruxtecan
DrugAdministered via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (q3w) until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs), or other cessation of treatment
Docetaxel
DrugAdministered via IV infusion q3W until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs), or other cessation of treatment
Prednisone
DrugOral tablet administered once per day or per approved product label
Rescue Medication
DrugBefore administering each dose of I-DXd, premedication is required for prevention of nausea and vomiting with a 2 or 3 drug combination regimen (eg, corticosteroids with either a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or an NK-1 receptor antagonist and other drugs as indicated) per approved product label
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Radiographic Progression Free Survival (rPFS)
rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per prostate cancer working group (PCWG)-modifed Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Secondary outcomes
Time to First Subsequent Therapy (TFST)
TFST is defined as the time from randomization to initiation of the first subsequent anticancer therapy or death, whichever occurs first.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
The ORR is defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR.
Duration of Response (DOR)
For participants who demonstrate confirmed CR or PR, DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression per PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time to Pain Progression (TTPP)
TTPP is defined as the time from randomization to pain progression based on the brief pain inventory-short form (BPI-SF) Item 3 "worst pain in 24 hours" and opiate analgesic use (AQA score).
