Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of abiraterone acetate when co-administered with prednisone in patients with chemo-naive metastatic castration resistant prostate Cancer (mCRPC).
Detailed Description
This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) study. All patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio between the abiraterone acetate group (abiraterone acetate and prednisone) and the placebo group (placebo and prednisone). The study will consist of a screening phase (within 28 days prior randomization on Cycle 1, Day 1), a treatment phase (28-day cycles until disease progression), and a follow-up phase (all patients will be contacted for every 3 months up to Month 60, focusing primarily on survival status). Patients will receive either abiraterone acetate 1,000 mg daily and prednisone 5 mg twice daily or placebo and prednisone 5 mg twice daily.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Has a confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate with evidence of metastatic disease
- •Prostate cancer progression documented by PSA progression or radiographic progression

- •Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or biologic therapy for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
- •Radiation or radionuclide therapy for treatment of mCRPC
