Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

This clinical trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of a new drug, opevesostat, combined with hormone therapy, compared to other hormonal treatments in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is resistant to standard hormone therapy.

Program Overview
The study aims to find out if opevesostat, when used with hormone replacement therapy, is better than other hormonal treatments like abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have already been treated with one next-generation hormonal agent. Researchers will look at how long patients live without the cancer getting worse and overall survival rates, focusing on those with specific genetic mutations.
