Soft-tissue progression defined as an increase ≥ 20% in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions based on the smallest sum LD since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Progression of bone disease (evaluable disease) or (new bone lesion(s)) by bone scan.
Patients must have prior and/or ongoing androgen-deprivation therapy and a castrate level of serum testosterone (<50 ng/dL).
Patients must have progressed on abiraterone and/or enzalutamide.

Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
Patients must have at least one measurable lesion that can be followed for response assessment on baseline imaging obtained no more than 28 days prior to beginning study therapy. Baseline and follow up radiological disease assessment must include bone scans performed with either Technetium-99m labeled diphosphonates or Fluorine-18 sodium fluoride PET or PET/CT, as per the local standard of care for patients with prostate cancer.
Patients with CNS metastases that are symptomatic must have received therapy (surgery, XRT, gamma knife) and be neurologically stable and off of steroids. The patient should be off steroids at least 14 days before pre-registration.

Patients must be males ≥ 18 years of age
Patients must have histological, pathological and/or cytological confirmation of prostate cancer

Patients must have progressive mCRPC defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria:

PSA progression defined as 25% increase over a baseline value of > 2 ng/ml with an increase in the absolute value of at least 2 ng/mL that is confirmed by another PSA level with a minimum of a 1-week interval. Baseline is defined as the PSA nadir level since commencing most recent prior therapy
Soft-tissue progression defined as an increase ≥ 20% in the sum of the diameter (SOD; short axis for nodal lesions and long axis for non-nodal lesions) of all target lesions based on the smallest SOD, or the appearance of one or more new lesions, since the onset of the most recent prior therapy
Progression of bone disease according to PCWG3 criteria
Patients must have a castrate level of serum testosterone (< 50 ng/dL)
For inclusion in Cohort 1, mCRPC patients must have progressed while receiving (or subsequent to receiving) abiraterone and/or enzalutamide but must not have previously received taxane-based systemic chemotherapy for mCRPC (previous treatment with six cycles of docetaxel for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) is permissible). NOTE: patients receiving fewer than 2 cycles of taxane based regimen due to intolerance are eligible for cohort 1.
