For Randomisation to the "Metformin Comparison" Please note from protocol v20 only patients willing to participate in the metabolic sub study should be randomised to the metformin comparison. The sub study will be conducted in a limited number of sites, see section 4.7.4 for further information. In addition to the general inclusion and general exclusion criteria the following comparison-specific inclusion criteria must be met to be eligible for randomisation to the "metformin comparison": • HbA1c <48mmol/mol (equivalent to <6.5%) (1) • Adequate renal function, defined as GFR ≥45ml/min/1.73m (except for Switzerland (2)) • No history of lactic acidosis or pre-disposing conditions
  • Not current or previous treatment with metformin
  • No contra-indications to metformin
  • No current or previous medication for treatment of diabetes
  • Willingness to join the metabolic sub study The method used to determine glomerular filtration rate may vary according to local practice. Equations that either estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or creatinine clearance (CrCl) may be used and the same threshold value applies. Where possible, HbA1c should be performed prior to commencing SOC docetaxel to reduce the likelihood of corticosteroid-related hyperglycaemia impacting on eligibility. All participants with abnormal baseline HbA1c (i.e. 6.5% or higher) should be informed and referred to their GP for further management. (2) Except Switzerland, please refer to SAKK appendix for local guidance For Randomisation To The "Transdermal Oestradiol Comparison" In addition to the general inclusion and exclusion criteria, participants fulfilling all of the following are eligible for the "transdermal oestradiol comparison": • ≤8 weeks of anti-androgen (AR-antagonists) use • Maximum of 1 dose of monthly or 4-weekly LHRH agonist/antagonist • No prior LHRH agonist injection with a stated duration of effect greater than 1 month • ≤12 weeks since first dose of any hormone therapy • Not had a bilateral orchidectomy • No use of cyproterone acetate (36) prior to randomisation • No known porphyria
  • No known history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism confirmed radiologically
  • No known thrombophilic disorder (e.g. Protein C, Protein S, antithrombin deficiency)
  • Not yet started SOC abiraterone, enzalutamide or apalutamide
