Abiraterone Acetate Treatment for Prostate Cancer Patients With a PSA of More Than Four Following Initial Androgen Deprivation Therapy Phase II
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating abiraterone acetate and Prednisone for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 205 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen drugs, such as abiraterone acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. It may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well abiraterone acetate works in treating patients with prostate cancer who have undergone initial hormone therapy.
