A Study of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Low-Dose Prednisone Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) V… (NCT01715285) | Clinical Trial Compass
CompletedPhase 3
A Study of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Low-Dose Prednisone Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Versus ADT Alone in Newly Diagnosed Participants With High-Risk, Metastatic Hormone-Naive Prostate Cancer (mHNPC)
The purpose of this study is to determine if newly diagnosed (within previous 3 months) participants with metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another ) hormone-naive prostate cancer (mHNPC) who have high-risk prognostic factors will benefit from the addition of abiraterone acetate plus low-dose prednisone to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; lutenizing hormone releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonists or surgical castration).

Inclusion Criteria:
* Newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer within 3 months prior to randomization with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell histology
* Distant metastatic disease documented by positive bone scan or metastatic lesions on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
* At least 2 of the following high-risk prognostic factors: Gleason score of greater than or equal to (\>=8); presence of 3 or more lesions on bone scan; presence of measurable visceral (excluding lymph node disease) metastasis on CT or MRI Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 scan
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 0, 1 or 2
* Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function
* Agrees to protocol-defined use of effective contraception
Exclusion Criteria:
* Active infection or other medical condition that would make prednisone use contraindicated
* Any chronic medical condition requiring a higher systemic dose of corticosteroid than 5 mg prednisone per day
* Pathological finding consistent with small cell carcinoma of the prostate
* Known brain metastasis
* Any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for metastatic prostate cancer (the following exception are permitted): up to 3 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with lutenizing hormone releasing hormone agonists or antagonists or orchiectomy wi…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
