LHRH analog, Abiraterone, and Prednisone in Treating Patients with Stage IV Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

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.
