Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for advanced prostate cancer that may be more effective than the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?
Men with advanced prostate cancer that responds to initial hormone therapy can join. They must be in good physical shape (ECOG 0-1), have normal organ function, and no serious health issues or surgeries in the last month. Excluded are those who've had certain treatments for prostate cancer, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart problems, GI diseases affecting drug absorption, brain or liver metastases, another recent cancer diagnosis or treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Adaptive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) combined with standard care including abiraterone and prednisone. The goal is to see if this adaptive approach better controls high-risk metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer compared to traditional methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, hot flashes from ADT; increased blood sugar and bone thinning from prednisone; and liver function changes, fluid retention, and hypertension from abiraterone. Each person's experience may vary.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Adaptive ADT+ Standard of CareExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will undergo 12-16 weeks of GnRH analog, along with 8-12 weeks of combinational therapy with GnRH analog and abiraterone plus prednisone. 14 participants who achieve >75% PSA decline after the run-in period will be enrolled. GnRH analog and abiraterone will be stopped after study enrollment. PSA and testosterone level will be measured every 4 weeks during the run-in period, then every 6 weeks after study enrollment. Imaging studies with CT and bone scan will be performed at the time of study enrollment and these will be considered baseline scans. Study treatment will be restarted if participant's PSA reaches 2 fold or higher of his baseline PSA. Selection of treatment will be based on participant's testosterone level.
