About this trial
The usual approach for most patients who are not in a study is treatment with docetaxel.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding a drug to the usual approach?
This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for prostate cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for prostate cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The presence of neuroendocrine or small cell carcinoma will be exclusionary
Prior treatment with any ARPI, such as abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darotlutamide, is required.
Two weeks for oral therapies (such as abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, darolutamide and olaparib)
Standard cycle of standard IV or IM therapies (such as radium 223 or Lu-177-PSMA-617
Disqualifiers
Received prior platinum chemotherapy (i.e. carboplatin, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, satraplatin) or prior taxane chemotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel, cabazitaxel) at any time for the treatment of prostate cancer with the exception of docetaxel for mCSPCor adjuvant therapy after curative intent treatment for localized prostate cancer, as long as it was no more than 6 cycles and at least 12 months have elapsed from their last treatment to the date of enrollment. If the participant received prior platinum or taxane chemotherapy for other cancers, then please contact the CCTG office to discuss this further with the trial team.
Active anticancer systemic therapy or investigational agents within 14 days of randomization.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV heart disease), unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
