Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

High risk prostate cancer (PCa) had worse outcomes on radical treatment results, short-time oncological results, even cancer-specific survival, than those low or mediate risk PCa. Neoadjuvant treatment before radical prostatectomy had been proven to get some benefits on peri-operation results, especially on reduction of tumor volume and minimization of biochemical recurrence. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with abiraterone in neoadjuvant therapy for surgically resectable high-risk or very high-risk PCa.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ADT with Abiraterone and prednisone

All subjects in this arm will receive luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone, as per standard of care. Goserelin 10.8 mg will be used once per 12 weeks. Abiraterone acetate will be administered orally as 1000 mg once daily along with 5 mg of oral prednisone once per day. Subjects will continue to take abiraterone acetate and prednisone for 24 weeks before robotic assisted radical prostatectomy

Drug: Abiraterone Acetate
1000 mg orally daily for 24 weeks before robotic assisted radical prostatectomy

Drug: Prednisone
5 mg oral low dose prednisone, once daily

Drug: Goserelin 10.8 mg
10.8 mg goserelin hypodermic once per 12 weeks

Experimental: ADT alone

All subjects in this arm will receive LHRHa alone for 24 weeks before receiving robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. Goserelin 10.8 mg will be administered once per 12 weeks.

Drug: Goserelin 10.8 mg
10.8 mg goserelin hypodermic once per 12 weeks

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Pathologic Complete Response Rate [up to 8 months]

    The proportion of subjects with no morphologically recognizable cancer cell in tumor specimens after radical prostatectomy

  2. Proportion of Subjects With Minimal Residual Disease [up to 8 months]

    The proportion of subjects that have residual tumors with maximum diameter of 5 mm or less after radical prostatectomy

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of Stage Degradation [up to 8 months]

    Clinical or pathological stage degradation after neoadjuvant therapy

  2. Rate of Positive Surgical Margins [up to 8 months]

    The proportion of subjects with positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy

  3. Rate of Complete Serum Remission [up to 6 months]

    The proportion of subjects whose PSA is less than or equal to 0.2 ng/ml after 6 months of treatment

  4. Proportion of subjects without PSA progression [24 months]

    The proportion of subjects whose PSA has never gone below 1 ng/ml or who receive any radiotherapy or systemic treatment after radical prostatectomy

  5. Imaging Response Rate [up to 8 months]

    The proportion of subjects whose primary tumor is in complete remission on imaging or residual tumor's maximum diameter is less than 0.5cm
