Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the influence of prednisone use on the pharmacokinetics (primary parameter AUC) of docetaxel, compared to docetaxel alone, in mCRPC and mHSPC patients. ;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the incidence and severity of side-effects of treatment with docetaxel in absence and presence of prednisone. • Other pharmacokinetic outcomes (i.e. clearance, maximum concentration (Cmax));Primary end point(s): To determine the influence of prednisone use on the pharmacokinetics (primary parameter AUC) of docetaxel, compared to docetaxel alone, in mCRPC and mHSPC patients. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • To evaluate the incidence and severity of side-effects of treatment with docetaxel in absence and presence of prednisone. • Other pharmacokinetic outcomes (i.e. clearance, maximum concentration (Cmax));Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of Study
