Assessment of the effect of low dose vs standard dose abiraterone on biochemical failure in metastatic prostate cancers
Design
Non-randomized, parallel group trial with non-blinded outcome assessment. Phase 2 trial in 64 patients.
Settings and conduct
High volume metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer patients who are candidates for triplet therapy were divided into two groups based on the physician opinion:
1- Hormone therapy + docetaxel + low dose abiraterone (250mg daily) up to one year later
2- Hormone therapy + docetaxel + standard dose abiraterone (1000mg daily) up to one year later
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Metastatic prostate cancer patients who are candidates for triplet therapy were included in the study; patients who are resistant to hormone therapy were excluded.
Intervention group: Hormone therapy + docetaxel + low dose abiraterone. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)+ docetaxel + abiraterone 250mg daily + prednisolone daily until one year later. Abiraterone will be administered with low fat food. ADT as triptorelin 3.75mg will be administered monthly.
