This phase Ib trial studies how well LHRH analog, abiraterone, and prednisone work in treating patients with stage IV castration sensitive prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as LHRH analog and abiraterone, may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone lower the body’s immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving LHRH analog, abiraterone, and prednisone may help treat patients with prostate cancer.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03511196.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Test the feasibility of adaptive luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) analog in patients with asymptomatic metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Assess the clinical benefits of adaptive LHRH analog by comparing to historical controls.
EXPLORATORY/CORRELATIVE STUDIES OBJECTIVES:
I. Detect the intra-tumor heterogeneity of androgen receptor (AR) and Cyp17 immunohistochemistry (IHC) stains on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks of prostate tumors and or metastatic lesions.
II. Refine the mathematical model for adaptive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
III. To develop imaging habitat biomarkers to track diseases progression using the patients’ computed tomography (CT) and bone scans and compare with conventional progression variables (like prostate specific antigen [PSA]).
IV. Compare the AR, Cyp17 immunohistochemistry (IHC) stains as well as imaging biomarkers with a retrospective cohort of mCSPC patients who underwent continuous LHRH analog as standard of care.
V. Detect and track the changes of AR mutations and AR amplification in tumor cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
OUTLINE:
Patients receive standard of care gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog via injections and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) such as leuprolide, goserelin, or triptorelin for 12-16 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog, and either abiraterone orally (PO) daily and prednisone PO once daily (QD), enzalutamide PO daily, or apalutamide PO daily for 8-12 weeks in the absence of disease progression of unacceptable toxicity. Patients who develop PSA or radiographic progression per prostate cancer working group (PCWG) criteria while on off treatment surveillance, may restart treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4-6 weeks.
