Active Comparator
Experimental
Docetaxel
Abiraterone or Enzalutamide
Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenous (iv) infusion every 3 weeks plus oral prednisone 5 mg twice daily for a maximum of 10 cycles.
Patient will receive Abiraterone or Enzalutamide based on previous treatment. Abiraterone given orally at the dose of 1000 mg daily plus oral prednisone 5 mg twice daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. One course of therapy corresponds to four weeks of treatment. Enzalutamide given orally at the dose of 160 mg daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. One course of therapy corresponds to four weeks of treatment.
