TRITON3 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effects of rucaparib to those of other standard treatments for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite castration and other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and doesn't respond to hormone therapy. They must have specific gene mutations (BRCA1/2 or ATM), have tried one previous treatment, but not had chemotherapy for metastatic cancer, PARP inhibitors, or have other active cancers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Rucaparib against a choice of three standard treatments: Abiraterone acetate, Enzalutamide, or Docetaxel in treating prostate cancer that's resistant to castration and shows certain genetic changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Rucaparib may cause nausea, fatigue, blood count issues leading to anemia or infection risk increase. Standard treatments can also cause side effects like weakness, hormonal imbalances from Abiraterone acetate; seizures from Enzalutamide; hair loss and nail changes from Docetaxel.
