Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to see if a prostate cancer marker in the blood (mGSTP1) can be used to guide chemotherapy treatment. Based on the level of this blood marker, some men may be able to have breaks in treatment rather than having chemotherapy continuously which is the current standard of care. This study will tell us if having these treatment breaks guided by mGSTP1 can improve how men feel during treatment while still treating the prostate cancer effectively.

Docetaxel is a chemotherapy drug that is approved to treat prostate cancer and has been used for many years to treat prostate cancer like yours. Your doctor has already discussed this with you and you have both agreed that docetaxel is the best treatment for you to have at this time. You will have already started this chemotherapeutic treatment with docetaxel.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Intermittent docetaxel treatment
suspend docetaxel prior to cycle 4, recommencement based on mGSTP1 monitoring
Drug: Docetaxel intermittent
After 3 cycles of docetaxel chemotherapy (75mg/m^2 every 21) in combination with an undetectable mGSTP1 level, patients randomised to this arm will stop docetaxel treatment. Plasma mGSTP1 is measured every 21 days and docetaxel treatment will be recommenced if it mGSTP1 becomes detectable again.

Active Comparator: Arm 2: Standard of Care docetaxel treatment
Docetaxel administered as per Standard of Care: as per clinician recommendation
Drug: Docetaxel standard of care
After 3 cycles of docetaxel chemotherapy (75mg/m^2 every 21) in combination with an undetectable mGSTP1 level, patients randomised to this arm will continue with standard Docetaxel treatment (75mg/m^2 every 21)




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]
    Radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) is defined as the time from randomisation (i.e. prior to cycle 4), the date of first documented progression on imaging by site investigator (PCWG3 criteria for bone lesions and RECIST 1.1 for soft tissue lesions) or death due to any cause.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time on treatment holidays [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]
    Time on treatment holidays is defined as the total length of time patients on the intermittent docetaxel arm spend off docetaxel within the treatment period i.e. prior to permanent treatment discontinuation

  2. Overall treatment safety [ Time Frame: From the date of signing consent on the Main study until 90 days after the last day of protocol treatment, on average 3.5 years ]
    Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.

  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]
    Overall survival is defined as the time from randomisation to the date of death due to any cause

  4. Overall quality of life [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]

    Quality of Life using the EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research on Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire for cancer patients) instrument.

    The instrument uses 28 questions about overall quality of life with each question answerable using a scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Overall scores can be from a minimum of 28 indicating a better quality of life and higher scores with a maximum of 112 indicating lower overall quality of life.

    The questionnaire also has two summary questions which asks participants to rank 1) overall health and 2) overall quality of life on scale of from 1, very poor, to 7, excellent.


  5. Fatigue [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]

    Fatigue, using the EORTC FA-12 (European Organisation for Research on Treatment of Cancer - Fatigue) instrument.

    This instrument uses 12 questions for participants about fatigue with each question answerable on a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (Very Much) to a maximum score of 48 indicating worse overall self-rated fatigue.


  6. Fear of progression [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]

    Fear of progression using the short FOP12 (Fear of Progression) instrument.

    This instrument uses 12 questions about participant's own Fear of Progression with each question answerable using a scale from "Never" to "very often" with lower scores indicating a better outcome.


  7. Patient reported adverse events [ Time Frame: From randomisation until last patient has completed 2 years in follow up, on average 3.5 years ]
    Patient reported adverse events using the patient reported modified PRO-CTCAE instrument

  8. Frequency of health resource utilisation [ Time Frame: From time of consent until End of Study, on average 3.5 years ]

    To compare resource use associated with mGSTP1 directed therapy per treatment group.

    Will be measured from trial based eCRFs and will include frequency of mGSTP1 testing, use of docetaxel and corticosteroids, pathology tests and imaging.

    Men participating in the GUIDE study will be consented for access to their Medicare claims data providing information on outpatient use of PBS listed therapies (such as those for metastatic bone disease) and Medicare services (such as outpatient clinician services)


  9. Overall cost associated with treatment [ Time Frame: From time of consent until End of Study, on average 3.5 years ]

    To compare costs associated with treatment per treatment group. Will be reported by type of health care used and the total cost of health care used over the period of the trial and follow-up.

    Market prices will be applied to items of resource use to estimate costs.
