Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety data during treatment with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone or prednisolone among adult participants with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who reside in areas in which abiraterone acetate is not yet available for this indication through local healthcare providers, and who are not eligible for enrollment into an available ongoing clinical study of abiraterone acetate.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Prostate Neoplasms	Drug: Abiraterone acetate Drug: Prednisone or prednisolone

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (identity of assigned study drug will be known) early access protocol (EAP). Approximately 60 participants will be enrolled in this study. Participants will receive abiraterone acetate 1000 mg daily plus prednisone or prednisolone 5 mg daily. Treatment in 28-day cycles will continue until progression of clinical disease. Study drug will be provided until the company obtains market authorization and reimbursement in the participant countries for this indication.
