Docetaxel Alone or in Combination With Enzalutamide as First-line Treatment for Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Abiraterone: a Single Center, Randomized, Open-label Study

Phase2; Phase3 Interventional Zhongnan Hospital · NCT05627752

This study is testing if combining two cancer drugs, docetaxel and enzalutamide, can help men with advanced prostate cancer live longer and feel better compared to using docetaxel alone.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of combining docetaxel with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously been treated with abiraterone. The study aims to evaluate whether this combination can improve patient outcomes compared to docetaxel alone. It is designed as a randomized controlled trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment regimen. Participants will be closely monitored for radiographic progression-free survival and other clinical endpoints.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are men diagnosed with adenocarcinoma mCRPC who have an ECOG performance status of 0-1 and have previously received abiraterone treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously been treated with enzalutamide or docetaxel will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment approach could provide a new effective option for patients with mCRPC who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown mixed results with similar approaches, indicating the need for further investigation in this area.
