Study of Opevesostat (MK-5684) Versus Alternative NHA in mCRPC (MK-5684-003) (NCT06136624)

A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label Study of MK-5684 Versus Alternative Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide in Participants With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Previously Treated With Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based Chemotherapy (OMAHA-003)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase3 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of opevesostat compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that opevesostat is superior with respect to OS in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.
