Neoadjuvant Therapy of Abiraterone Plus ADT for High Risk Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04356430
Lead Sponsor
The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School
Brief Summary

High risk prostate cancer (PCa) had worse outcomes on radical treatment results, short-time oncological results, even cancer-specific survival, than those low or mediate risk PCa. Neoadjuvant treatment before radical prostatectomy had been proven to get some 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 androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with abiraterone in neoadjuvant therapy for surgically resectable high-risk or very high-risk PCa.

GroupInterventionDescription
ADT with Abiraterone and prednisoneGoserelin 10.8 mgAll 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 robotic assisted radical prostatectomy
ADT aloneGoserelin 10.8 mgAll subjects in this arm will receive LHRHa alone for 24 weeks before receiving robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. Goserelin 10.8 mg will be administered once per 12 weeks.
