Summary

This trial is testing a new prostate cancer treatment that may be more effective than the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?
Men aged 18+ with metastatic prostate cancer, a PSA level of ≥5 ng/ml, and good performance status (ECOG 0-2) can join. They should have started hormone therapy recently or had it before for non-metastatic disease. Participants need proper liver, kidney, and bone marrow function and must be able to take oral meds. Those with severe neuropathy, active infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C, recent heart issues, another active cancer within the last year, conditions that could cause seizures or affect drug absorption are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if combining hormone therapy (ADT), chemotherapy (docetaxel), and a targeted drug (enzalutamide) works better for advanced prostate cancer than just ADT with chemo. It's checking how well patients tolerate this mix and if it improves their condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue; digestive problems like nausea; skin reactions; blood disorders such as low red/white cell counts; hormonal changes causing hot flashes or sexual dysfunction; nerve issues leading to numbness or tingling in hands/feet.
