Brief Summary

Neoadjuvant treatment before radical prostatectomy has been proven to provide benefits on peri-operation results, especially on reduction of tumor volume and minimization of biochemical recurrence. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate Plus androgen deprivation therapy（ADT）in high-risk localized prostate cancer with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate（IDC-P）.

Detailed Description

IDC-P is an adverse pathological entity of prostate cancer, characterized by the growth of malignant cells in pre-existing prostatic ducts and acini, and is present in high-grade disease and associated with poor prognosis. Previous studies have shown that IDC-P was significantly associated with an adverse clinical course in patients who received radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy, and the presence of IDC-P on the biopsy specimen was associated with a poor prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) and a poor docetaxel response in patients with distant metastasis at the initial diagnosis. Our previous researches as well as other published data indicated that abiraterone had a better therapeutic efficacy than docetaxel as the first-line therapy in metastatic castration resistance prostate cancer（mCRPC）with IDC-P. Therefore we intended to perform this single-arm phase II clinical trial to evaluate the initial efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate Plus ADT as neoadjuvant therapy for high-risk localized prostate cancer with IDC-P. The primary endpoint is the pathologic complete response (pCR).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ADT with Abiraterone and prednisone	Goserelin	All subjects in this arm will receive luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone, as per standard of care. Goserelin 10.8 mg will be used once per 12 weeks. Abiraterone acetate will be administered orally as 1000 mg once daily along with 5 mg of oral prednisone once per day. Subjects will continue to take abiraterone acetate and prednisone for 24 weeks before radical prostatectomy
