CAPItello-281 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the efficacy of capivasertib+abiraterone+androgen deprivation therapy to placebo+abiraterone+androgen deprivation therapy in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) whose tumours are PTEN-deficient. The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival.

Who is the study for?
Men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and PTEN deficiency, who can take abiraterone and steroids, are eligible. They must have a recent diagnosis (within 180 days), provide specific tissue samples, show evidence of metastasis, be on ADT treatment for up to 93 days before the trial starts, have an ECOG performance status of 0-1, and agree to contraception. Exclusions include brain metastases or spinal cord compression not stable without steroids for at least four weeks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if adding Capivasertib to Abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) along with ADT provides better outcomes than placebo plus Abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) with ADT in men whose tumors lack PTEN protein. The main goal is improving time without disease progression using imaging criteria or until death from any cause.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting issues due to medication absorption problems; lung conditions like interstitial lung disease; heart-related issues such as QT interval prolongation or heart failure; uncontrolled high blood pressure; significant abnormalities in glucose metabolism requiring insulin treatment.
