Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if taking natural products green tea and quercetin along with docetaxel chemotherapy improves the therapy of advanced prostate cancer, i.e., metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It will also learn about the safety of this combination.

Researchers will compare green tea plus quercetin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) in combination with docetaxel to see if green tea and quercetin works to improve the therapeutic effect of docetaxel.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

This study includes a dose-escalation study and an expanded phase II study. For the dose-escalation study, patients will be assigned to different dose levels in the order of recruiting. For the expanded phase II study, patients will be randomly assigned to the green tea plus quercetin group receiving green tea + quercetin + docetaxel, or the placebo group receiving placebo + docetaxel.
