Trial summary

Adrenal androgens are serum biomarkers of interest that may help guide abiraterone acetate treatment, particularly at the time of progression. Biomarkers may also help identify pathways to resistance of abiraterone acetate treatment. Read more about this study

Study population: Patients receiving Abiraterone Acetate for Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer

Who may be able to join

  • Signed written informed consent. Before any study procedures are performed, subjects (or their legally acceptable representatives) will have the details of the study described to them, and they will be given a written informed consent document to read. If subjects consent to participate in the study, they will indicate that consent by signing and dating the informed consent document in the presence of study personnel
  • Be suitable for receiving treatment with abiraterone acetate and prednisone
  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell histology
  • Patients may not receive any other investigational agent or dose escalation of abiraterone acetate during study participation
  • Patient consents to comply to treatment with abiraterone acetate as directed by their physician

Who cannot join

  • Taking a dose of abiraterone acetate other than 1g daily or lack of compliance to daily dosing of abiraterone acetate and prednisone
  • Patients receiving spironolactone or any other steroidogenic compounds in excess of the associated prednisone 5mg bid are excluded due to the potential for androgen receptor agonism

About this study

Adrenal androgens are serum biomarkers of interest that may help guide abiraterone acetate treatment, particularly at the time of progression. Biomarkers may also help identify pathways to resistance of abiraterone acetate treatment. The most practical way of approaching this question is to explore surrogate biomarkers of prostate cancer including quantification of pharmacodynamic endocrine biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

Goals of this study include:

  • Explore which circulating endocrine markers or endocrine related markers have the best potential to predict clinical response to abiraterone acetate in CRPC patients
  • Explore the utility of microRNA, circulating DNA and exosome analyses in complementing the previous objective

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abiraterone acetateAll patients will be receiving abiraterone acetate as per standard of care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PSA

    PSA nadir samples will be assessed and compared to pre-Abiraterone treatment samples post completion of study

    Measured: Patients will be followed from Day 1 (date of initiation of Abiraterone treatment) until the date of first documented progression (estimated to be 1 year). PSA will be assessed every 30 days (approximately) until the time of PSA/clinical progression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer (Adenocarcinoma), run by University Health Network, Toronto at 2 sites in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PSA (time frame: Patients will be followed from Day 1 (date of initiation of Abiraterone treatment) until the date of first documented progression (estimated to be 1 year). PSA will be assessed every 30 days (approximately) until the time of PSA/clinical progression). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jun 2015.
