8. CRPC is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following three events in a subject while undergoing castration treatment: ① PSA progression, defined as at least two increases in PSA levels (PSA value>1 ng/mL, interval of at least 1 week, consecutive 2 times, increase>50% from baseline); ② Disease progression as defined in RECIST v1.1; ③ The progression of skeletal diseases as defined by the PCWG3 standard, where bone scans reveal ≥ 2 or more new lesions
9. Metastatic lesion with imaging evidence. At least one target lesion exists
10. Received 1-2 lines of new endocrine therapy (such as enzalutamide, abiolone, etc.) after developing castration resistance（ArmA-C）
11. Received 0-1 line chemotherapy treatment (such as docetaxel) during the hormone sensitive period and the castration resistance period（ArmA-C）
12. Arm B: with specific biomarkers; Arm C: without specific biomarkers; Arm D: received 0 or 1 line of new endocrine therapy, and no chemotherapy during hormone sensitive and castration resistant stages
13. The functional level of important organs must meet the following requirements (no blood components, hematopoietic stimulating factors, cell growth factors, leukemic drugs, platelet enhancing drugs, etc. are allowed to be used within 7 days before obtaining laboratory examination): Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L; Platelets ≥ 100 × 10^9/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 100 g/L; Serum albumin ≥ 30 g/L; AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × Upper limit of normal reference value (ULN), if accompanied by liver metastasis, ALT and AST ≤ 5 × ULN; Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (Gilbert syndrome≤ 3 × ULN); Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN, if >1.5 × ULN, then the creatinine clearance rate (CLcr) ≥ 50 mL/min; LVEF>50%
14. Effective contraceptive measures from signing the informed consent to 90 days after the last use of the study drug
15. Recover from all AEs of previous anti-cancer treatment (i.e. ≤ grade 1, according to CTCAE v5.0), excluding alopecia (any grade) and peripheral sensory nerve ≤ grade 2, hypomagnesemia or lymphocytopenia, as well as other abnormalities that the benefit of receiving treatment is greater than the risk

Exclusion criteria

1. Metastasis of the central nervous system (CNS), leptomeningeal metastasis or spinal cord compression caused by metastasis (exceeding the physiological alternative dose) requiring hormone treatment
2. Radiation therapy that has irradiated more than 25% of the bone marrow was performed within 4 weeks. Palliative radiation therapy is allowed to alleviate pain caused by bone metastasis during the study period
3. Treatment with similar drugs
4. Received other clinical trial drugs or major surgeries within 4 weeks (sufficient wound healing after major surgeries must undergo clinical evaluation)
5. Systemic anti-cancer treatment within the first 2 weeks (bicalutamide, Mitomycin C or Nitroso urea 6 weeks, enzalutamide 5 weeks, and abiolone 4 weeks). Medications that maintain castration are allowed.
6. Planned bilateral orchiectomy during the study treatment
