Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical phase 3 randomized trial is to compare two different dosing schedules of Docetaxel in combination with ADT and Darolutamide in subjects with mHSPC. The main question aims to compare grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) in patients with mHSPC treated with 6 cycles of either Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks in a 3 week cycle or 6 cycles of Docetaxel 50 mg/m2 every 2 weeks in a 4 week cycle in combination with Darolutamide + ADT. The primary endpoint are Grade 3-5 AEs, followed by neutropenia grade 3/4 + grade 5 AEs to be analysed 28 weeks after last patient first Docetaxel dose (LPFD).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC) Drug: Standard ADT (androgen deprivation therapy) Drug: Standard Darolutamide Drug: Docetaxel Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, open, controlled, multicenter phase III clinical trial. Approximately 250 patients with mHSPC who are candidates for docetaxel, darolutamide and ADT will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to one of the following study arms:

  • Arm 1: 6 x Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks of a 3 week cycle
  • Arm 2: 6 x Docetaxel 50 mg/ m2 every 2 weeks of a 4 week cycle Subjects will be stratified at randomization for the extent of disease and for Alkaline Phosphatase levels.

All subjects must receive ADT of Investigator's choice (LHRH agonist/antagonists or orchiectomy) and darolutamide as standard therapy. Six cycles of docetaxel are be administered after randomization according to either Arm 1 or Arm 2. After completion of study drug treatment, subjects will continue with the observation period. During the observation period all subjects will continue with Darolutamide+ADT until occurrence of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]

  4. Time to initiation of subsequent antineoplastic therapy [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    approx. every 90 days up to the date of first subsequent antineoplastic therapy for prostate cancer

  5. Symptomatic skeletal event free survival (SSE) [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    approx. every 90 days up to the first occurence of SSE, symptomatic skeletal event free survival, defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of SSE or death from any cause, whichever comes first. An SSE is defined as EBRT to relieve skeletal symptoms, or new symptomatic pathologic bone fracture, or occurrence of spinal cord compression or tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention, whichever comes first.

  6. Time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    approx. every 90 days up to the first occurence of SSE, defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of SSE. An SSE is defined as EBRT to relieve skeletal symptoms, or new symptomatic pathologic bone fracture, or occurrence of spinal cord compression or tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention, whichever comes first.

  7. Time to pain progression [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    approx. every 90 days up to the first date a subject experiences a pain progression. Pain to be assessed with a patient reported questionaire

  8. Time to worsening of physical symptoms of disease [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    approx. every 90 days up to the first date a subject experiences an increase in physical symptoms based on the NCCN-FACT-FPSI-17 questionnaire

  9. Treatment emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: approximately 42 months ]
    all grade AEs until the end-of-study treatment visit (to be analysed 26 weeks after last patient first Docetaxel, all grade AEs until the discontinuation visit, all and Study drug-related SAEs until the end of Survival Follow-up
