See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to hormone therapy and hasn't spread to the brain. They must have tried other treatments, stopped them at least 4 weeks ago, and still show signs of disease progression. Participants need good heart health, controlled blood pressure without too many medications, normal organ function, no major surgeries or therapies within the last month, and can't be on long-term steroids.
What is being tested?
The study tests if taking abiraterone acetate alone until worsening disease or toxicity symptoms is as safe and effective as taking it with prednisone from the start. It also explores why patients stop responding by analyzing blood and tissue samples.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Abiraterone acetate may cause high blood pressure, upset stomach, joint swelling or discomfort; liver function changes; increased cholesterol levels; low potassium in the blood; urinary tract infection; or an irregular heartbeat.
