Patients who meet the diagnostic criterion of metastatic castration-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma (patient who after receiving surgical or biochemical castration (Testosterone < 50 ng/DL) progresses to a M1 stage corresponding to the IVb phase Of the disease according to the classification proposed by the AJCC in its eighth edition of the 2017 (any T, any N, M1, any grade group, any PSA). 3. Asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients. (Low pain levels measured by the Brief pain investigational Short Form Scale (BPI-SF) between 0-1 (asymptomatic) and 2-3 (minimally symptomatic) alleviated with acetaminophen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (CUA, 2015). 4. Patients with imaging study and clinical documentation to corroborate the existence of metastatic lesions prior to the onset of treatment for their metastatic disease, according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1). 5. Patients aged between 18 and 79 years. 6. Patients with life expectancy of 6 months or more. 7. Patients with functional status according to ECOG = 2. 8. Patients with organ and bone marrow functioning defined by the following parameters: Hemoglobin =90 g/L (patients with lower Hb levels should be transfused prior to inclusion), Total leukocyte Count = to 3.0 x 109/L, neutrophil count = 1.5 x 109/L, Platelet count=100 x 109/L, Bilirrubin: Within normal limits for each institution, Glycemia within normal limits for each institution, ALP: Up to 2.5 times the normal upper limit for each institution, GOT/GPT: up to 2.5 times the normal upper limit for each institution, Creatinine: Within normal limits for each institution.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Overall survival (Time from randomization until death from any cause). Measurement time: monthly for 3 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

Time to progression-TTP (Time from randomization until objective tumor progression). Time to measurement: every 3 months for 3 years. 3. Time to appears symptoms (Time from the start of treatment until the date in which any of the following symptoms appear: Pain, worsening of quality of life (according to scales defined in the protocol) and, development of urinary or digestive symptoms related to the underlying disease indicative of commitment of the urinary or digestive tracts respectively). Time to measurement: every 3 months for 3 years. 4. Objective response (Complete response, Partial Response, Stable Disease, Progressive disease). Time to measure: every 3 months for 3 years. 5.
