What is the purpose of this trial?

Himalayas-1 is a randomized, open-label, global, multicenter phase 3 study evaluating whether the combination of rinzimetostat with darolutamide is more effective compared to physician's choice of control; ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for treating patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were previously treated with abiraterone acetate.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superiority in radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of the investigational arm of rinzimetostat + darolutamide combination versus physician's choice of control: ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and abiraterone. Participants must be in good physical condition, have confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma (not small cell), show disease progression, and have healthy organs. People with brain metastases, serious heart issues, or recent other cancer treatments can't join.
