Study of Capivasertib and Docetaxel vs Placebo and Docetaxel for Treating Advanced Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Inactive

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05348577

This clinical trial is testing whether adding the drug capivasertib to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel can improve survival in men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants will receive docetaxel and hormone therapy, and the study aims to see if the combination with capivasertib is more effective than a placebo.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out if combining capivasertib with the chemotherapy drug docetaxel can help men with advanced prostate cancer live longer. This type of prostate cancer, known as metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), continues to grow even when testosterone levels are reduced to very low levels. Participants will receive either capivasertib plus docetaxel or a placebo plus docetaxel, along with standard hormone therapy. The study will compare the overall survival of participants in both groups.
