ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06120491

This clinical trial is testing whether the drug Saruparib (AZD5305), combined with a doctor's choice of new hormonal agents, is more effective than a placebo in slowing down the progression of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if Saruparib (AZD5305) combined with a new hormonal agent chosen by the doctor can better control prostate cancer that has spread and is sensitive to hormone therapy, compared to a placebo with the same hormonal agent. Researchers will measure how long patients live without the cancer getting worse.

Description

In this study, about 1800 men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer will be divided into two groups. One group will receive Saruparib (AZD5305) with a new hormonal agent, while the other group will receive a placebo with the same hormonal agent. The treatment will continue until the cancer progresses or for other reasons. Regular scans will be done to monitor the cancer.

All participants will be monitored for survival until the study ends. An independent committee of experts will review the safety and tolerability of Saruparib (AZD5305) with the hormonal agent chosen by the doctor.
