E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of this project is to investigate if there is a group-difference in treatment related adverse effects between abiraterone and enzalutamide in regards to:
• Fatigue
• Metabolic profile
• Health related quality of life (HQoL)
The aim of preforming the above is to generate knowledge in order to enable a more individualized treatment of patients with mCRPC, based on the therapies profile of adverse effects and the patients’ individual needs.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Biomarkers predictive and prognostic value
Date: The substudy will be made 1 and 3 years (approx. 1 June 2020 and 1 June 2023) after the last patients visit.
Objective:The main objective is to investigate the predictive value of ARV-7(androgen receptor variant 7) in men undergoing 1. line novel second generation hormonal therapy for mCRPC. Furthermore, the prognostic and predictive value of volume of bone metastases from bone scan will be investigated. Other prognostic biomarkers in cellfree DNA/RNA will also be investigated. |

• Age 18-90 years
• Willing, capable and legally competent individuals
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 (see appendix)
• Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
• Prior surgical orchiectomy or if on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist then testosterone < 1.7 nmol/L at screening visit (patients must maintain LHRH agonist/antagonist therapy for duration of study treatment if not surgically castrated)

o Biochemical progression: Obtain sequence of rising PSA values at a minimum of 1-week intervals, resulting in increases over the nadir, with PSA > 1 ng/mL
o Radiological progression:
The appearance of two or more new bone lesions on bone scan
Enlargement of a soft tissue lesion using the modified RECIST 1.1.
• > NYHA2, in case of cardiac comorbidity
• Adequate organ function defined as:
o Creatinine < 1,5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
o Total bilirubin < 1,5 x ULN
o Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2,5 x ULN
o White blood cell count ≥3,0 109/L
o Platelet count ≥ 100 109/L
|

• Previous treatment with docetaxel, with the exception of previous treatment with early docetaxel (≤ 6 series) ≥6 months before inclusion.
• Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and/or HbA1C > 48 mmol/mol.
• Hypersensitivity towards components in abiraterone or enzalutamide
• Ongoing treatment with high doses of glucocorticoids
• Severe concurrent illness or co-morbid disease that would make the subject unsuitable for enrolment
• Prior therapy with CYP17 inhibitors (including abiraterone acetate, TAK-700, TOK-001 and ketoconazole), enzalutamide or other experimental anti-androgens (e.g. ARN-509, TOK-001)
• Life expectancy < 6 months
• Active concurrent malignancy
• Treatment with Radium-223
• Known brain metastases
• Liver or lung metastases on CT-scanning.
• History of seizure or seizure disorder, or history of cerebrovascular stroke within 6 months of study entry.
