A Study of Opevesostat (MK-5684) Versus Alternative Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) in Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Post One NHA (MK-5684-004)

Is NCT06136650 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies multiple treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mcrpc).

Phase 3RecruitingMerck Sharp & Dohme LLCNCT06136650Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Opevesostat · Dexamethasone · Fludrocortisone acetate · Hydrocortisone · Abiraterone acetate · Prednisone acetate · EnzalutamideThe purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of opevesostat plus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one next-generation hormonal agent (NHA). The primary study hypothesis is that opevesostat is superior to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide with respect to radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation positive and negative participants.
