Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abiraterone acetate when co-administered with prednisone in Asian patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have failed docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized (the treatment group is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives) placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial)-controlled study with a randomization allocation ratio of 2:1 between the abiraterone acetate group (abiraterone acetate plus prednisone) and the placebo group (placebo plus prednisone). Approximately 200 (133 in the abiraterone acetate group and 67 in the placebo group) medically or surgically castrated male patients with mCRPC who have failed docetaxel-based chemotherapy will be enrolled in this study for up to 27 months. The study protocol includes the following phases: screening (within 28 days prior to randomization on Cycle 1 Day 1), double-blind treatment (28-day cycles until protocol-defined disease progression or unacceptable toxicity), and survival follow-up (up to Month 60). During the follow-up phase, patients with disease progression will be provided open-label (identity of assigned study drug will be known) extension treatment with abiraterone acetate. In the event of a positive study result at the time of the final analysis, participants in the placebo group who have not shown progressive disease in the double-blind treatment Phase of the study will be enrolled in an open-label extension treatment with abiraterone acetate treatment based on the participant's choice and treating physician's endorsement if they meet the criteria for subsequent abiraterone acetate. Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg tablets or placebo will be taken orally (by mouth) once daily plus prednisone 5 mg tablet orally twice daily. Efficacy and safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
DB Phase: Time to Prostate-Specific Antigen Progression (PSA)
Time Frame: Up to 1.8 years
Time to PSA progression was defined as time interval from the date of randomization to the date of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression as defined in the Prostate Specific Antigen Working Group (PSAWG) criteria. PSAWG criteria- Decline from baseline and reach response criteria: greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) increase over the nadir and the increase in the absolute-value by at least 5 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) (or back to the baseline), which is confirmed by a second value 4 or more weeks later; Decline from baseline but not reach response criteria: \>=25% increase over the nadir and the increase in the absolute-value by at least 5 ng/mL, which is confirmed by a second value 4 or more weeks later; and No decline from baseline: \>=25% increase over the baseline and the increase in the absolute-value by at least 5 ng/mL, which is confirmed by a second value 4 or more weeks later.
Secondary Outcomes
- DB Phase: Overall Survival(From randomization to the date of death due to any cause (up to approximately 3.8 years))

- DB Phase: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Pain Palliation(Approximately up to 3.8 years)
- DB Phase: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved PSA Response(Approximately up to 3.8 years)
- DB Phase: Objective Response Rate (ORR)(Approximately up to 3.8 years)
- DB Phase: Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) Questionnaire: Total Scores at the End of Treatment(Baseline, at End of Treatment (15 and 30 days after the last dose [up to 3.8 years]))
- DB Phase: Change From Baseline in Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) Score at End of Treatment(Baseline, at End of Treatment (15 and 30 days after the last dose [up to 3.8 years]))
