          -  The effects of apalutamide and docetaxel on the developing human fetus are unknown.
             For this reason and because chemotherapeutic agents are known to be teratogenic, men
             must agree to use adequate contraception. Specifically, they must agree to use a
             condom (even men with vasectomies) and another effective method of birth control if he
             is having sex with a woman of childbearing potential or agree to use a condom if he is
             having sex with a woman who is pregnant while on study drug and for 3 months following
             the last dose of study drug. They must also agree not to donate sperm during the study
             and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.

          -  Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Pathology consistent with majority of specimen having small cell carcinoma of the
             prostate (prostate cancer with neuroendocrine features is acceptable).

          -  Prior treatment with enzalutamide for CPRC; non-CRPC use allowed (e.g., neoadjuvant,
             combined with radiation for localized disease and didn't progress while on it in those
             settings)

          -  Prior treatment with docetaxel chemotherapy except if > 12 months since it was given
             in either the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting or for hormone sensitive disease (e.g.,
             CHAARTED population)

          -  Presence of untreated brain metastasis

          -  Seizure or known condition that may pre-dispose to seizure (including but not limited
             to prior stroke, transient ischemic attack within 1 year prior to randomization, brain
             arteriovenous malformation; or intracranial masses such as schwannomas and meningiomas
             that are causing edema or mass effect). Loss of consciousness within 12 months may be
             permitted upon discussion with study PI.

          -  Medications known to lower the seizure threshold must be discontinued or substituted
             at least 4 weeks prior to study entry.

          -  Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first dose of this study), or planned
             participation in an experimental drug study

               -  Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption

               -  Active infection (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] or viral hepatitis) or
                  other medical condition that would make prednisone/prednisolone (corticosteroid)
                  use contraindicated

          -  Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, severe or unstable
             angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure (defined as New
             York Heart Association Grade II or greater), arterial or venous thromboembolic events
             (e.g., pulmonary embolism), or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias,
             significant vascular disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection), or symptomatic
             peripheral vascular disease within 6 months prior to randomization.

          -  Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study
             requirements.

             with polysorbate 80 or antisense oligonucleotides.

          -  History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
             composition to apalutamide or docetaxel

          -  Participants receiving any medications or substances that are strong inhibitors or
             inducers of CYP3A4 are ineligible. Because the lists of these agents are constantly
             changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated list such as
             http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.aspx; medical reference texts such as
             the Physicians' Desk Reference may also provide this information. As part of the
             enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of
             interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be
             prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal
             product.

          -  Inability to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures
