Docetaxel or Hormone Therapy as Second Line Treatment in Patients With Asymptomatic or Oligosymptomatic Metastatic Castration-resistent Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Progressing After Abiraterone or Enzalutamide.

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Metastatic Castration-resistent Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04139772
Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Institute, Naples
Brief Summary

This is a randomized phase 3 trial aiming to compare the efficacy of docetaxel and hormone therapy as second line treatment in patients with mCRPC progressing after therapy with abiraterone or enzalutamide.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive docetaxel or hormone therapy (abiraterone or enzalutamide based on previous treatment).

Docetaxel (standard) will be administered for 10 cycles (maximum).

Hormone therapy (experimental) will be administered until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Abiraterone or EnzalutamideAbiraterone Acetate or EnzalutamidePatient will receive Abiraterone or Enzalutamide based on previous treatment. Abiraterone given orally at the dose of 1000 mg daily plus oral prednisone 5 mg twice daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. One course of therapy corresponds to four weeks of treatment. Enzalutamide given orally at the dose of 160 mg daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. One course of therapy corresponds to four weeks of treatment.
DocetaxelDocetaxelDocetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenous (iv) infusion every 3 weeks plus oral prednisone 5 mg twice daily for a maximum of 10 cycles.
