Study Comparing Talazoparib and Enzalutamide Combination Therapy to Enzalutamide Alone in Advanced Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: Pfizer

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03395197

This clinical trial is evaluating whether combining the drugs talazoparib and enzalutamide is more effective than using enzalutamide alone in treating men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is resistant to standard hormone therapy.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of a combination of two drugs, talazoparib and enzalutamide, against enzalutamide alone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers want to see if the combination can better control the disease by delaying its progression.

Description

The study is divided into two parts. Part 1 is an open-label phase where all participants receive talazoparib and enzalutamide to determine the best starting dose. Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind phase where participants are randomly assigned to receive either the combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide or a placebo with enzalutamide. This part of the study is conducted across multiple countries to ensure diverse participation. The goal is to see if the combination treatment can delay the progression of prostate cancer more effectively than enzalutamide alone.
