M6620 and Carboplatin With or Without Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (NCT03517969)
A Phase 2 Study of M6620 (VX-970, Berzosertib) in Combination With Carboplatin Compared With Docetaxel in Combination With Carboplatin in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies how well berzosertib (M6620) and carboplatin with or without docetaxel works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). M6620 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving M6620, carboplatin and docetaxel may work better in treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer compared to carboplatin and docetaxel alone.
