Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

This is a multi-centre, investigator-initiated, three-arm, randomized trial to investigate the addition on androgen receptor pathway inhibitor and atorvastatin to standard of care radiation and hormone therapy improve quality of life. Participants will either receive standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy (Arm 1), standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy plus oral abiraterone for 8-9 months (Arm 3) or standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy plus oral abiraterone for 8-9 months plus atorvastatin for 2 years (Arm 4). Participants will be routinely follow-up in clinic or remotely for up to 5 years.

Second-generation androgen pathway inhibitor (ARAT), oral tablet

OTHERStandard of Care SBRT and ADT

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression free survival5 yearsDetermine if progression free survival improves with the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or abiraterone) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient-reported quality of life5 yearsDetermine if the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment results in a patient-reported quality of life difference compared to standard of care treatment alone using quality of life questionnaires (FACT-P).
Physician-reported toxicity5 yearsDetermine if the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment results in a physician-reported difference in acute and late toxicities compared to standard of care treatment alone assessed by CTCAE Toxicity 5.0.
Time to Testosterone Recovery5 yearsDetermine time to testosterone recovery with the use of standard of care treatment, with or without ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide).
Improvement in Metabolic Parameters5 yearsDetermine if a statin (atorvastatin) with short-term ARPI (abiraterone) and standard of care treatment results in improved metabolic parameters (e.g. lipid profile, fasting glucose) and lower occurrence of cardiovascular events compared to short-term ARPI and standard of care treatment, alone.
Circulating Cell-Free DNA2 yearsDetermine if a statin (atorvastatin) with short-term ARPI (abiraterone) and standard of care treatment results in lower levels of circulating cell-free DNA compared to short-term ARPI and standard of care treatment, alone.
