What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding enzalutamide to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy can better control metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormones. About 40 men with advanced disease will receive all three drugs. The main goal is to see how many achieve a very low PSA level at one year, with secondary goals including tumor shrinkage and survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), docetaxel, and enzalutamide
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a more effective way to control metastatic prostate cancer for longer, potentially delaying disease progression.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (40 participants) with no placebo group. The added drug may increase side effects without clear benefit, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without evidence of small cell carcinoma or greater than 50% neuroendocrine differentiation. Metastatic disease must be present including soft tissue, and/or bone metastases OR nonregional lymph node involvement prior to study enrollment. If the subject has regional lymph node involvement, there must be at least one additional site of disease including visceral, non-regional nodal or skeletal metastases. * ADT with surgical castration with bilateral orchiectomy or medical castration with LHRH agonist or LHRH antagonist therapy may have been initiated no greater than 112 days (16 weeks) prior to enrollment date. Subjects who initiated ADT prior to consent, are not eligible if PSA has risen ≥ 25% and ≥ 2 ng/ml above nadir value since initiation of ADT prior to consent. * At least one PSA level of ≥ 5 ng/ml within 90 days prior to consent. * Prior ADT for non-metastatic disease with LHRH agonist or LHRH antagonist therapy in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting is permitted if: 1. Total duration of therapy did not exceed 36 months 2. 6 months have elapsed since completion of therapy prior to consent, 3. Serum testosterone \> 50 ng/dl within 28 days prior to reinitiation of ADT for metastatic disease 4. Prior ADT for non-metastatic disease must have accompanied definitive local therapy for curative intent. * Age ≥ 18 years. * ECOG performance status 0-2. * Adequate liver function: AST and ALT \<1.5x upper limit of normal, total bilirubin \< 1x upper limit of normal. * Adequate bone marrow function: Platelets \>100,000 cells/mm3, Hemoglobin \> 8.0g/dL and ANC \> 1,500 cells/mm3. * Adequate renal function with a creatinine clearance (based on Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 30 mL/min. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Able to swallow and retain oral medication Exclusion Criteria: * Personal history of seizure. * Personal history of conditions that may predispose to seizure activity including cortical cerebrovascular accident or brain trauma. * Known central nervous system metastases, including involvement of brain parenchyma and leptomeninges. * Personal history of any condition that may impair absorption of enzalutamide. * Prior or current therapy with ketoconazole, abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide (ARN-509, JNJ-56021927), darolutamide (ODM-201, BAY1841788) or cytotoxic chemotherapy such as docetaxel, cabazitaxel, cyclophosphamide. * Prior therapy with bicalutamide, nilutamide or flutamide within 14 days of enrollment. * Within 28 days of major surgery and/or lack of recovery from prior surgical procedure or 14 days of palliative radiation prior to enrollment. * Prior or current therapy with an investigational agent for metastatic prostate cancer. * Known hypersensitivity to drugs formulated with polysorbate 80. * Personal history of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. * CTCAE version 4.0 grade 2-4 peripheral sensory neuropathy. * Human immunodeficiency virus infection or active hepatitis B or C infection. * Uncontrolled and 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 in the opinion of the investigator. * Presence of any of the following within the previous 3 months prior to enrollment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack. * History of an additional active malignancy within 12 months prior to the date of consent (except non-melanoma skin cancer). * Current use of strong CYP2C8 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inducers or CYP3A4, CYP2C9 or CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic range as listed in Section 7.2.1. * Any condition that requires the use of prednisone \> 10mg daily, or equivalent daily glucocorticoid dose, for greater than 14 days
