Comparing triple therapy to double therapy for high volume metastatic prostate cancer
Official title: Longitudinal Evaluation of Adding Docetaxel to ADT and Novel Hormone Treatment for Patients With High Volume Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer in Order to Assess Relative Effectiveness: the Case of "Triple" Versus "Double" Therapy
Run by Uppsala University · NCT06446401 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a combination of three treatments is better than two for men with advanced prostate cancer to see which option helps them live longer and feel better.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with high metastatic burden mHSPC who have initiated either triple or double therapy within the last three months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not understand written and/or oral instructions in Swedish may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
Lead4Care is an observational, open-label, multicenter study that evaluates the effectiveness, tolerance, and cost-effectiveness of triple therapy (androgen deprivation therapy, docetaxel, and novel hormonal therapy) versus double therapy (androgen deprivation therapy and novel hormonal therapy) in patients with high tumor burden metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The study compares these therapies in terms of mortality, morbidity, and side effects, while also assessing cost-effectiveness through a Markov model. Patients will be enrolled based on their treatment choice, and advanced matching methods will be used to ensure comparability between the two therapy groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the most effective treatment options for patients with high volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While other studies have evaluated these therapies indirectly, this study aims to provide direct comparative effectiveness data, making it a novel approach.
