A Study of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Low-Dose Prednisone Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Versus ADT Alone in Newly Diagnosed Participants With High-Risk, Metastatic Hormone-Naive Prostate Cancer (mHNPC)
Prostate Neoplasms

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Neoplasms focused on measuring Prostate neoplasms, Prostate cancer, Metastatic prostate cancer, Abiraterone acetate, ZYTIGA, Prednisone, Androgen deprivation therapy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer within 3 months prior to randomization with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell histology
- Distant metastatic disease documented by positive bone scan or metastatic lesions on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- At least 2 of the following high-risk prognostic factors: Gleason score of greater than or equal to (>=8); presence of 3 or more lesions on bone scan; presence of measurable visceral (excluding lymph node disease) metastasis on CT or MRI Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 scan
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of 0, 1 or 2
- Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function
- Agrees to protocol-defined use of effective contraception
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active infection or other medical condition that would make prednisone use contraindicated
- Any chronic medical condition requiring a higher systemic dose of corticosteroid than 5 mg prednisone per day
- Pathological finding consistent with small cell carcinoma of the prostate
- Known brain metastasis
- Any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for metastatic prostate cancer (the following exception are permitted): up to 3 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with lutenizing hormone releasing hormone agonists or antagonists or orchiectomy with or without concurrent anti-androgens prior Cycle 1 Day 1; participants may have one course of palliative radiation or surgical therapy to treat symptoms resulting from metastatic disease if it was administered at least 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1)

Placebo Comparator
Abiraterone acetate + Prednisone + ADT
Placebo + Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)
Participants will receive abiraterone acetate tablet at a total dose of 1000 milligram (mg) plus 5 mg capsule of prednisone orally once daily until disease progression, withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity. Stable regimen of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) will be administered.
Participants will receive placebo matched to abiraterone acetate plus prednisone orally once daily until disease progression, withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity. Stable regimen of ADT will be administered.
