Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria for Registration:

1. Any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for metastatic prostate
cancer. The following exceptions are permitted:

- Up to 4 weeks of ADT with luteinising hormone releasing hormone agonists or
antagonists or orchiectomy ± concurrent anti-androgens are permitted prior to
commencement of screening. At investigator discretion, patients may start ADT at
commencement of protocol therapy

- Up to one course of palliative radiation or surgical therapy to treat symptoms
resulting from metastatic disease if it was administered at least 14 days prior
to registration

2. Symptomatic cord compression, or clinical or imaging findings concerning for impending
cord compression

3. Central nervous system metastases

4. Patients with Sjogren's syndrome

5. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality
that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's
participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of
the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator

6. Prior diagnosis of another cancer that was:

- More than 3 years prior to current diagnosis with subsequent evidence of disease
recurrence or clinical expectation of recurrence greater than 10%

- Within 3 years of current diagnosis with the exception of successfully treated
basal cell or squamous cell skin carcinoma or adequately treated non-muscle
invasive bladder cancer (Tis, Ta and low grade T1 tumours)

Inclusion Criteria for Randomisation:
