Real-World Study of Enzalutamide and Abiraterone Acetate (With Prednisone) Tolerability
- Conditions
- Prostate Cancer
- Interventions
- Other: No Intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT02663193
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to characterize the tolerability profiles of enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate (with prednisone) -with specific focus on central nervous system (CNS) tolerability-and quality of life (QoL) after approximately 2 months of participants starting treatment with one of these agents for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
- Detailed Description
This is a multicenter (more than one study site), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), prospective, observational study to characterize the tolerability profile of treatment and quality of life (QoL) in participants receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate (with prednisone) in a clinical practice setting. Approximately 100 male participants will be enrolled into this study, 50 participants will be recruited to each treatment arm. Participants will complete 2 scheduled on-site visits (Baseline and Month 2). Participants will primarily be observed for tolerability profiles of enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate (with prednisone) and safety over an observational period of 2 months.

- Target Recruitment
- 108
- Male 18 years of age or older
- Have confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate

- Are routinely taking medication-including, but not limited to, over-the-counter medications, supplements, medical marijuana or prescription pain medication-that is known to cause mental confusion or sedation or are using any of the medications
- Are routinely taking systemic glucocorticoids (example, prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) at a dosage higher than the equivalent of prednisone 10 milligram (mg) daily
- Are currently using or have previously used chemotherapy for any cancer including mCRPC
- Are concurrently using any first-generation androgen-receptor blocker (example, bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide) for mCRPC
- Have previously taken enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate with prednisone
- Are not capable of completing tests using a computerized system or completing a participant survey

Group Intervention Description Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone group No Intervention Participants who are receiving abiraterone acetate in combination with prednisone in a clinical practice setting will be observed for tolerability and quality of life. Enzalutamide Group No Intervention Participants who are receiving enzalutamide in a clinical practice setting will be observed for tolerability and quality of life.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 at Month 2 Baseline and Month 2 The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire developed to assess the quality of Life (QoL) of cancer participants. The QLQ-C30 incorporates 9 multi-item scales: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and a global health and QoL scale.
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue subscale (FACIT-Fatigue) at Month 2 Baseline and Month 2 The FACIT Measurement System is a collection of health-related QoL questionnaires targeted to the management of chronic illness. The fatigue subscale (FACIT-Fatigue) is a validated, 13-item questionnaire that assesses fatigue in people being treated for a chronic illness.
Participant or Caregiver Observational Questionnaire (Survey) Month 2 If a participant has a regular caregiver, the participating physician will ask the caregiver to complete an optional observational, sponsor-developed questionnaire (survey) pertaining to his/her perception of the participants tolerability of treatment and QoL.
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) at Month 2 Baseline and Month 2 The FACT-Cog is a validated, 37-item, subjective neuropsychological instrument designed to evaluate cancer participants perceived cognitive deterioration on their quality of life.
Change From Baseline in Cogstate Tests at Month 2 Baseline and Month 2 The Cogstate computerized cognitive test battery will be used as the assessment tool in this study. Overall, Cogstate measures a range of cognitive functions (example, psychomotor and memory function) using a number of different tests (example, choice reaction time, one-back memory). This battery of tests was chosen because it has been shown to be sensitive to very small cognitive changes and has been tested in cancer participants after chemotherapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs Screening up to follow-up (Approximately 2 Months) An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
