Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm II (ADT, abiraterone, prednisone, radiation therapy)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive ADT, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone as in Arm I. Beginning 8-10 weeks after starting ADT and within 1 week of starting abiraterone acetate, patients also undergo 3-5 fractions of neutron radiation therapy for 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm I (ADT, abiraterone, prednisone)Active Control3 Interventions
Patients receive ADT per standard of care. Beginning 2 months after start of ADT, patients also receive abiraterone acetate and prednisone per standard of care for at least 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
