Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Radiological progression in the baseline radiological evaluation, according to RECIST and PCWG3 criteria. 2. Presence of clinically relevant symptomatology related to the disease, defined as: a. Significant pain (score > or = 3 on the Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF), item 3). b. Presence of adverse effects > or = grade 2 that, in the judgment of the investigator, related to the baseline disease (adverse effects related to the toxicity of the related treatment will be accepted). 3. Biochemical, radiological or clinical progression in the 12 weeks since initiation of abiraterone + prednisone for the treatment of CPHSm. 4. Prior diagnosis of cancer, except: a. Patients diagnosed with a localized malignant tumor treated with curative intent, free of disease after curative intent, free of disease after 3 years. b. Patients diagnosed with skin tumors (of non-melanoma type) or intervened carcinomas in situ. 5. Any comorbidity that, in the judgment of the investigator, contraindicates the administration of dexamethasone as an adjuvant corticoid to treatment with abirateracetate with abiraterone acetate. 6. Medical, psychiatric or any other condition, which, in the investigator's judgment, would interfere with the interferes with the subject's ability to give informed consent, or safely carry out the procedures required in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the rate of PSA progression at 12 weeks in patients with metastatic HSCC who continue treatment with AA after biochemical progression in routine clinical practice and in whom the adjuvant prednisone is replaced by dexamethasone.;Secondary Objective: To compare, in patients with mCPHS who continue treatment with AA after biochemical progression within standard clinical practice and in whom the adjuvant prednisone is replaced by dexamethasone: a) The response rate by PSA b) Progression-free survival c) Overall survival d) Toxicity profile;Primary end point(s): Rate or proportion of patients with progression by PSA;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At progression

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Rate or proportion of patients with PSA response - Radiologic progression-free survival - Radiological response rate - Clinical progression-free survival - Overall survival - Toxicity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Toxicity: throughout the trial. The rest, at the time of progression.
