Description

The goal of this phase 3 clinical trial is to determine the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of using lower doses of Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPI) to treat patients with prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. if overall survival for reduced dose ARPI is not worse than standard dose ARPI when treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and 2. that fatigue (extreme exhaustion) and not stopping ARPI permanently (due to adverse effects) are better than average with the reduced dose. Participants will: * Be randomised to take full dose (100%) of ARPI or half dose (50%) of ARPI. * Receive standard of care ADT. * Be on treatment for approximately 3 years according to standard of care. * Have clinic assessments and visits in clinic or remotely, as per their treating hospital's standard routine local practice in line with standard of care. Additional visits are not expected. * Complete quality of life questionnaires at week 0 (pre-treatment) and weeks 4, 16, 32, 48 and 64. * Keep a diary of their symptoms. Translational research samples will be collected as follows: * Blood samples at week 0 (pre-treatment) and weeks 24, 32, 48 and at disease progression. * Urine samples at week 0 (pre-treatment) and week 24 and at disease progression. * FFPE Tumour: Routinely collected diagnostic blocks. The duration of follow-up is approximately 3 years after the last patient is recruited (minimum follow-up is 3 years; maximum follow-up is approximately 6 years for the the first patient recruited) and the trial is expected to complete August 2032 (Last Patient Last Visit).

Interventions

ARPI therapy (Abiraterone, Apalutamide, Enzalutamide or Darolutamide) selected by local investigator per standard of care

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult males (male sex at birth) aged 18 years or older 2. Newly histologically or cytologically diagnosed prostate cancer (adenocarcinoma) that is metastatic hormone-sensitive (mHSPC) or metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), for whom ARPI in combination with androgen deprivation is clinically planned 3. Prior ADT use for prostate cancer (including bilateral orchidectomy and transcutaneous oestrogen), is permitted provided: (a) ADT has been started less than 12 weeks prior to randomisation in mHSPC, (b) In the adjuvant setting the completion of adjuvant hormonal therapy was \>12 months prior to randomisation and total duration is capped at 36 months total 4. ECOG performance status 0-2 5. Willing and able to give provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pathology other than adenocarcinoma consistent with small cell, ductal, sarcomatoid carcinoma of the prostate 2. Unable or unwilling to receive concurrent ADT alongside an ARPI 3. Any concurrent or previous malignancy that required active anti-cancer therapy in the previous 2 years of randomisation (other than basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or adequately treated non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma, Tis, Ta and T1 tumours) 4. Adults with unmanaged psychological, familial, or sociological conditions precluding them from the ability to provide informed consent or hampering compliance with the study follow-up, including continued drug and alcohol dependence 5. Patients who have received an investigational drug (either approved or not approved) in any prior clinical study within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Screening 6. Patients on triplet therapy (i.e. receiving additional systemic anti-cancer therapy such as chemotherapy, radionuclide/molecular radiotherapy, PARPi alongside ADT \& ARPI); but concomitant radiotherapy is allowed 7. Hypersensitivity to any of the active components or excipients of the IMPs or NIMPs listed in this protocol 8. Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) 9. Patients with uncontrolled or unstable cardiovascular disease, New York Heart Association congestive cardiac failure class III/IV
