Researchers are evaluating treatments for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, including both hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant forms. This international trial uses biomarker signatures identified from tumor or liquid biopsies to guide treatment assignments. The study compares standard care based on national guidelines with experimental treatments tailored to genetic changes related to prostate cancer. It uses an adaptive design to assign treatments based on ongoing results to improve patient outcomes. Participants are randomized to either a control group receiving standard care or an experimental group receiving treatments matched to their biomarker profile. Experimental treatments include androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, taxane-based chemotherapy combined with AR inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, AKT inhibitors, and carboplatin, depending on the biomarker signature and disease stage. Patients progressing during the trial may be re-assigned up to three times to different treatments based on updated biomarker profiles. Throughout the study, patients undergo regular assessments including progression-free survival monitoring up to 60 months. Researchers also track treatment response rates, overall survival, patient-reported outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and safety through adverse event reports. An independent board regularly reviews data to evaluate treatment effectiveness and may modify treatment assignments accordingly. The trial aims to personalize therapy for metastatic prostate cancer based on genetic markers.

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Up to 60 months or until disease progression, whichever occurs first
Participants are randomized to receive either standard care or biomarker-driven experimental drug treatments based on their biomarker signatures. Those in the experimental arm may receive one or multiple drugs targeting specific genetic alterations. Treatment assignments may change if the disease progresses, with up to three consecutive treatments allowed.
Regular visits for treatment administration and monitoring as per protocol
Duration - Up to 60 months from enrollment
Participants are monitored after treatment ends to assess progression-free survival, overall survival, treatment response, safety, and patient-reported outcomes for up to 60 months from enrollment.
Periodic visits for assessments and monitoring
