NCT01867710

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and clinical benefit of the combinations of abiraterone acetate and prednisone or abiraterone and dexamethasone in prostate cancer patients. Prednisone will be given at one of three different dose schedules. Dexamethasone will be given at one dose schedule. This will include looking at what side effects occur and how often they occur. In addition the impact of the study drug on quality of life and pain will be evaluated. The study will also collect data on subsequent treatment of patients after they come off the study drug (approximately 4.5 years after the start of study treatment of the first subject participating in the study). By analyzing blood samples, the study aims to identify if some markers could help to understand if the treatment with abiraterone is effective and also help to understand if patients can become resistant.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Experiencing Neither of the 2 Mineralocorticoid Excess Toxicity During the First 24 Weeks of Treatment

    No mineralocorticoid excess is defined as experiencing neither of the 2 mineralocorticoid excess toxicities, that is, neither hypokalemia nor hypertension.

    Week 24

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response Rate [Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 50 Percent (%) Decline From Baseline] at Week 12

    Week 12

  • Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-SF) Score: Worst Pain

    Baseline up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 156 weeks of main study treatment period [MSTP])

  • Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-SF) Score: Pain Intensity Subscale

    Baseline up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 156 weeks of MSTP)

  • Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-SF) Score: Pain Interference Subscale

    Baseline up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 156 weeks of MSTP)

  • Change From Baseline to Endpoint in EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L): Index Score

    Baseline up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 156 weeks of MSTP)

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate Have metastatic disease documented by positive bone scan or by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging Have prostate cancer progression documented by prostate specific antigen according to Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 or radiographic progression according to modified RECIST (response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, v1.1) criteria Be asymptomatic from prostate cancer. A score of 0-1 on BPI-SF Question #3 (worst pain in last 24 hours) will be considered asymptomatic Be surgically or medically castrated, with testosterone levels of \<50 ng/dL (\<2.0 nmol/L). If the subject is being treated with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists or antagonists (subjects who have not undergone orchiectomy), this therapy must have been initiated at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1, Cycle 1 and must be continued throughout the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Has a history of pituitary or adrenal dysfunction Has an active infection or other medical condition that would contraindicate corticosteroid use Has any chronic medical condition requiring corticosteroid treatment or has received prior corticosteroid treatment for prostate cancer Has a pathological finding consistent with small cell carcinoma of the prostate Has a known brain metastasis
