Abiraterone Race in Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer

November 16, 2020 updated by: Duke University

A Phase II Open-label, Parallel Group Study of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone in African American and Caucasian Men With Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer

The primary goal is to prospectively estimate the median radiographic PFS of African American and Caucasian men with mCRPC to abiraterone acetate and prednisone.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a non-comparative pilot open-label, parallel arm, multicenter study of abiraterone acetate in African American and Caucasian men with mCRPC. Patients will self-report on race and 50 patients will be enrolled into each group. Patients will be treated on open-label treatment until evidence of disease progression as defined by Prostate Cancer Working Group Two (PCWG2) definition or until two years at which point they will roll over to the standard of care at that time. The study agent abiraterone acetate will be administered by the patient at a dose of 1000mg orally once daily with prednisone 5 mg BID in 4-week cycles throughout the treatment period.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Median Radiographic Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Time in months from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression according to Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 criteria, or to death due to any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median rPFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve.
up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in PSA Response
Time Frame: Baseline and up to 2 years
Percent of men with Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) declines > 30%, > 50% and > 90%
Baseline and up to 2 years
Median Time to PSA Progression
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Time to PSA progression as defined by PCWG 2 criteria is the date that a 25% or greater increase and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL or more from the nadir is documented, which is confirmed by a second value obtained 3 or more weeks later.
up to 2 years
Number of Men With PSA Decline to < 0.1 and < 0.2 ng/ml
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Number of men who achieve a PSA decline to < 0.1 and < 0.2 ng/ml
up to 2 years
Percent of Subjects Experiencing Hypertension
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Incidence and grade of hypertension in the two populations. (Grade 1: Systolic BP 120 to 139 mmHg or diastolic BP 80 to 89 mmHg, Grade 2: Systolic BP 140 to 159 mmHg or diastolic BP 90 to 99 mmHg, Grade 3: Systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg, Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated)
up to 2 years
Overall Survival
Time Frame: up to 3 years
Length of patient's life after starting study
