Study Description

Brief Summary:

Adaptive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) plus Standard of Care. The purpose of this study is to develop adaptive therapy for high risk metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Prostate Cancer; Stage IV Prostate Cancer; Advanced Prostate Cancer; Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate	Drug: Adaptive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT); Drug: Abiraterone; Drug: Prednisone	Early Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Investigators proposed this pilot feasibility study to use prostate specific antigen (PSA) response and testosterone level to guide the treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) [Leuprolide, Goserelin, and Triptorelin are the most commonly used GnRH agonists for ADT] and/or abiraterone plus prednisone. Adaptive therapy is a program of chemotherapy where the type and dosage of drug changes in an attempt to kill more of the cancer.

Abiraterone acetate with prednisone is a standard of care treatment for mCRPC (metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer). It works by interrupting the male hormone (androgen) making process in the testes, adrenal glands, and tumors. This helps to prevent the growth of tumors that need these hormones to grow.

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: Adaptive ADT+ Standard of Care; Participants will undergo 12-16 weeks of GnRH analog, along with 8-12 weeks of combinational therapy with GnRH analog and abiraterone plus prednisone. 14 participants who achieve >75% PSA decline after the run-in period will be enrolled. GnRH analog and abiraterone will be stopped after study enrollment. PSA and testosterone level will be measured every 4 weeks during the run-in period, then every 6 weeks after study enrollment. Imaging studies with CT and bone scan will be performed at the time of study enrollment and these will be considered baseline scans. Study treatment will be restarted if participant's PSA reaches 2 fold or higher of his baseline PSA. Selection of treatment will be based on participant's testosterone level.

Drug: Adaptive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT); ADT with Leuprolide, Goserelin, or Triptorelin, as GnRH agonist, every 4 weeks as outlined in study arm description.; Other Name: GnRH agonist; Drug: Abiraterone; Prednisone 5 mg once a day with food.; Other Names: Standard of Care; Zytiga; Drug: Prednisone; Abiraterone 1000 mg daily with empty stomach.; Other Names: Standard of Care; Glucocorticoid

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Rate of Participant Retention [ Time Frame: 12 months from participant's first dose of ADT ]
   Percentage of participants who remain on study at month 12. The study will be terminated early if 2 or more of the first 6 enrolled subjects discontinued study due to cancer progression within a year of study enrollment.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Median Time to Progression From the First Dose of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) [ Time Frame: 12 months from participant's first dose of ADT ]
   Median time to prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression while on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), abiraterone and prednisone. Progression is per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3).
2. Median Time to Radiographic Progression From the First Dose of ADT [ Time Frame: 12 months from participant's first dose of ADT ]
   Median time to radiographic progression while on ADT, abiraterone and prednisone. Progression is per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3).
