General Inclusion Criteria Required For All Participants 1. Histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma 2. Intention to treat with long-term androgen deprivation therapy 3.

Willing and expected to comply with follow up schedule 9. Using effective contraceptive method if applicable 1. Medical contraindications to the trial medications are given in Section 6 2. For WHO performance status definitions see Appendix A 5. General Exclusion Criteria Patients must not fulfil any of the criteria below: 1. Prior systemic therapy for locally-advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (1) (except as listed in the protocol section 4.3) 2. Prior exposure to hormone therapy for a duration of > 12 months, or prior exposure completing < 12 months before randomisation (see section 4.3.1 for permitted prior exposure details) 3. Metastatic brain disease or leptomeningeal disease 4. Abnormal liver functions consisting of any of the following: • Serum bilirubin ≥1.5 x ULN (except for patients with Gilbert's disease, for whom the upper limit of serum bilirubin is 51.3μmol/l or 3mg/dl) • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥2.5 x ULN
• site must indicate at randomisation whether one or both tests are performed at site. Where both results are available both must confirm eligibility. 5. Any other previous or current malignant disease which, in the judgement of the responsible clinician, is likely to interfere with STAMPEDE treatment or assessment 6. Any surgical wound (e.g. TURP) which in the judgement of the responsible clinician may interfere with or be exacerbated by protocol treatment 7. Participant with significant cardiovascular disease, including: • Severe/unstable angina • Myocardial infarction less than 6 months prior to randomisation • Arterial thrombotic events less than 6 months prior to randomisation • Clinically significant cardiac failure requiring treatment, defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or above (1) • Cerebrovascular disease (e.g. stroke or transient ischaemic episode) less than 6 months prior to randomisation
• Any other significant cardiovascular disease that in the investigator's opinion means the participant is unfit for any of the study treatments. 1. Excluding participants receiving docetaxel as part of SOC 2. NYHA classifications can be found in Appendix A 6. Comparison-specific eligibility criteria In addition to the general inclusion and exclusion criteria, the following comparison-specific eligibility criteria apply. 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
