Adaptive Androgen Deprivation and Docetaxel in Metastatic Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer

March 31, 2026 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

A Phase IIA Study of Adaptive Androgen Deprivation and Docetaxel in Metastatic Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer

This is a prospective single center phase IIa open label nonrandomized study, which aims to test the hypothesis that the duration of castration sensitive phase of stage IV prostate cancer can be prolonged with adaptive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and Docetaxel.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document or have a legally authorized representative sign on the subject's behalf. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatments with TAK-700/Orteronel, abiraterone, apalutamide or enzalutamide.
  • Surgical castration.
  • Documented liver or brain metastases
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to docetaxel (including any drugs formulated with polysorbate 80), or LHRH analog (e.g., leuprolide, triptorelin, relugolix, degarelix)
  • Treatment with any investigational compound within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drugs.
  • Diagnosis or treatment for another systemic malignancy within 2 years before the first dose of LHRH analog, or previously diagnosed with another malignancy & have any evidence of residual disease. Patients with early-stage skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection.
  • Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Subjects with delayed healing of wounds, ulcers, and/or bone fractures.

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
