Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Treatment: Drugs - Docetaxel
Treatment: Drugs - Prednisone
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone

Experimental: Pembrolizumab+Docetaxel - Participants receive pembrolizumab 200 mg by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for up to a maximum of 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) PLUS docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for a maximum of 10 cycles (approximately 7 months). Participants also concomitantly receive dexamethasone 8 mg by oral tablets at 12 hours, 3 hours, and 1 hour prior to docetaxel administration and prednisone 5 mg by oral tablets twice daily during each 21-day docetaxel cycle.

Placebo comparator: Placebo+Docetaxel - Participants receive placebo by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for up to a maximum of 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) PLUS docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for a maximum of 10 cycles (approximately 7 months). Participants also concomitantly receive dexamethasone 8 mg by oral tablets at 12 hours, 3 hours, and 1 hour prior to docetaxel administration and prednisone 5 mg by oral tablets twice daily during each 21-day docetaxel cycle.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and docetaxel in the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC but have progressed on or are intolerant to Next Generation Hormonal Agent (NHA).

There are two primary study hypotheses.

Hypothesis 1: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Overall Survival (OS).

Hypothesis 2: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review.
