Conditions

Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

Abiraterone acetate is an orally effective CYP17 inhibitor, which is metabolized into abiraterone in the body, and its inhibitory activity against CYP17 is 10-30 times that of ketoconazole. Clinical studies have shown that abiraterone acetate can significantly reduce the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in PCa patients, and help to reduce tumors, extending the lifespan of patients with advanced PCa for several years, and the toxicity is acceptable.

Interventions

DRUGAbiraterone Acetate

Subjects administered 4 tablets abiraterone acetate twice daily in 28-day cycle.

DRUGPlacebo

Subjects administered 4 tablets abiraterone acetate blank analog tablet twice daily in 28-day cycle.

DRUGPrednisone

Subjects administered 5mg prednisone twice daily in 28-day cycle.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to PSA progression (TTPP)Baseline up to 24 monthsThe time interval between the administration of the drug and the progression of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Baseline up to 24 monthsThe percentage of participants with a best overall response defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)Baseline up to 24 monthsThe ECOG scoring standard is an indicator of the general health status and tolerance to treatment from the patient's physical strength. ECOG physical status score standard from 0 to 5. Starting with the dose until the score increases from the baseline.
Overall Survival (OS)Baseline up to 24 monthsTime from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.
Prostate specific antigen remission timeBaseline up to 24 monthsIt was ≥50% lower than the baseline, and was confirmed as remission after re-testing after ≥4 weeks.
Quality of life assessment scale (FACT-P)Baseline up to 24 monthsFunctional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Prostate Cancer (FACT-P) total score, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) total score, trial outcome index, functional well-being, physical well-being, prostate cancer subscale, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) Advanced Prostate Symptom Index-6 (FAPSI-6).
Prostate specific antigen remission rateBaseline up to 24 monthsThe remission rate was defined as the proportion of remissions to the total number of people.
To pain progression timeBaseline up to 24 monthsTime from the start of medication to the progression of pain.
