Abiraterone Acetate, Prednisone, and Apalutamide in Treating Patients With Hormone-Naive Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide work in treating patients with hormone-naive prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as abiraterone acetate and apalutamide may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- Determine if a baseline molecular-pathologic androgen receptor response (AR-response) signature predicts efficacy to abiraterone plus apalutamide in patients with hormone-naive metastatic prostate cancer (HNMPCa).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
Evaluate the efficacy of abiraterone acetate plus apalutamide in patients with HNMPCa.
-
Evaluate the safety of abiraterone acetate plus apalutamide in patients with HNMPCa.
-
Explore the relationship between molecular markers and clinical efficacy outcomes.
OUTLINE:
Patient receive abiraterone acetate orally (PO) daily, prednisone PO twice daily (BID), and apalutamide PO daily. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then for up to 6 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time on treatment [Up to 6 months]
Calculated as the time from start of protocol treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Progression free survival (PFS) [Time from starting treatment until progression, assessed up to 6 months]
Median PFS and 95% confidence interval will be presented for all patients and by the androgen receptor molecular-pathologic responsiveness signature.
- Incidence of adverse events [Up to 6 months]
Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
- Efficacy assessed [Up to 6 months]
prostate specific antigen, bone specific alkaline phosphatase, and urine n-telopeptides
- Expression of candidate markers [Up to 6 months]
Candidate markers for different biologic domains by immunohistochemistry, mass spectrometry (for steroid metabolome) and genomic profiling. Markers will encompass bone remodeling (e.g. integrin signaling), steroid metabolome (e.g. glucocorticoid receptor) and tumor immunoprofile (e.g. PD-1, PDL-1).
- Overall survival [up to 6 months]
Time from start of protocol treatment until death or last contact

Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2.5 x IULN for patients without liver metastases. (Note: In subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is > 1.5 x ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin and if direct bilirubin is =< 1.5 x ULN, subject may be eligible. For patients with liver metastases AST or ALT < 4 x IULN is allowed)

Exclusion Criteria:
-

-
Treatment within 28 days of cycle 1 day 1: Any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for metastatic prostate cancer. The following exceptions are permitted:

All adverse events associated with these procedures must be resolved at least to grade 1 by cycle 1 day 1, or
-
Any chronic medical condition requiring a higher dose of corticosteroid than 10 mg prednisone/prednisolone daily. Use of inhaled, intranasal, intra-articular and topical steroids are acceptable, as is a short course (i.e. =< 1 day) of corticosteroids to prevent a reaction to the intravenous (IV) contrast used for CT scans
-
