What would Axel Merseburger do?
RT to the primary tumour has proven clinical benefit in oligometastatic disease. ADT monotherapy is not enough. I would see docetaxel predominantly in second line sequence post ARTA progression. ADT and ARTA combination is a good option in this situation. I would be in favour of apalutamide due to the all-comer indication regardless of volume/risk/onset of disease. No need to combine with prednisone nor strict laboratory controls.
