Study Summary
This trial will enroll patients with metastatic mCRPC who have not been previously treated with abiraterone or docetaxel.
Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to hormone therapy can join. They need a certain level of health, like normal organ/marrow function and controlled blood pressure. They must not have had recent heart issues, seizures, or certain treatments like chemotherapy for prostate cancer within the last 3 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial tests Apalutamide combined with Abiraterone Acetate, Docetaxel, and Prednisone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It aims to find the safest dose for Apalutamide when used with these other drugs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, digestive problems like nausea and diarrhea, allergic reactions to medication components, increased risk of infections due to steroid use (Prednisone), liver function changes, and potential impact on blood cell counts.
