Trial purpose
Hormone therapy, or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a standard way to treat prostate cancer. It works by reducing the amount of the main male sex hormone, testosterone in the body. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitor inhibitors (ARPIs) are another type of hormone therapy. They either slow down how much testosterone is made or block testosterone from reaching the prostate cancer cells. Abiraterone acetate (AA) is an ARPI that is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. This type of treatment is usually given as a tablet with a steroid called prednisone/prednisolone to manage any medical problems from the hormone therapy.
ASP5541 is a different form of AA. It is given as an injection into the muscle. In this study, ASP5541 will be given to men with advanced prostate cancer, both with and without prednisone/prednisolone. This study will check the safety of ASP5541 and compare how well ASP5541 works in men with advanced prostate cancer compared to AA.
Who May Participate
Adult men with a certain type of advanced prostate cancer can take part. Their cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The different types are:
- Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Prostate cancer that needs testosterone to grow.
- Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Prostate cancer that continues to grow even when testosterone levels are low.
What to expect
In this study there will be 3 treatment groups:
- In Group 1, men with mCRPC who haven’t previously been treated with an ARPI will either be given ASP5541 and prednisone/prednisolone or AA and prednisone/prednisolone.
- In Group 2, men with mHSPC who haven’t previously been treated with an ARPI will either be given ASP5541 by itself or be given AA with prednisone/prednisolone.
- In Group 3, Japanese men with mCRPC or mHSPC who may or may not have previously been treated with an ARPI will be given ASP5541 with prednisone.
ASP5541 will be given as an injection into a muscle every 12 weeks. Men with mCRPC will take prednisone/prednisolone twice daily and men with mHSPC will take prednisone/prednisolone once daily. AA will be given as tablets to be taken once daily. All groups will also receive the standard of care treatment, such as ADT.
The men in the study will visit their clinic regularly during and after treatment for health checks, including checking for any medical problems. On some visits they will also have scans to check for any changes in their cancer. The number of visits and type of safety checks done at each visit will depend on the health of each person and when they completed their treatment.
試験の概要
The main aims (primary objectives) of this trial are:
- To check how well ASP5541 with prednisone/prednisolone works compared to AA with prednisone/prednisolone in men with advanced prostate cancer who haven’t previously been treated with an ARPI.
- To check the safety of ASP5541 given by itself in men with advanced prostate cancer that haven’t previously been treated with an ARPI.
- To check how well ASP5541 given by itself works compared to AA with prednisone/prednisolone in men with advanced prostate cancer that haven’t previously been treated with an ARPI.
- To check the safety of ASP5541 with prednisone/prednisolone in Japanese men with advanced prostate cancer
Other aims (secondary objectives) of this trial are:
- Further checks on how well ASP5541 works with and without prednisone/prednisolone compared to AA given with prednisone/prednisolone.
- To check the safety of ASP5541 given with and without prednisone/prednisolone compared to AA given with prednisone/prednisolone
- To check how ASP5541 given with and without prednisone/ prednisolone acts upon the body (pharmacodynamics) compared to AA given with prednisone/prednisolone
- To check the pain levels after treatment with ASP5541 given with and without prednisone/prednisolone compared to AA given with prednisone/prednisolone

よくあるご質問
一部の臨床試験は進行がんを対象としていますが、さまざまな病期の患者さんが参加できる臨床試験も数多くあります。それぞれの試験には一定の参加条件があります。たとえば特定の年齢層や腫瘍の種類の患者さんだけが参加できる場合もあります。
臨床試験によっては、現在受けている治療を続けたまま参加できる場合もあれば、一時的に中止しなければならない場合もあります。もし治験薬で効果がみられなかった場合でも、通常は元の治療を再開することができます。
がんの臨床試験でプラセボが使われるのは、特定のがんに利用できる治療が存在しない場合に限られ、治験薬とプラセボを比較するためにだけ使用されます。ただし、がんの臨床試験でプラセボが使われることはまれで、多くの場合は「標準治療」と呼ばれる最も有効とされる治療が提供されます。
担当医が、あなたに利用可能な臨床試験の機会をすべて把握していない場合があります。気になる臨床試験があった場合は、ぜひ担当医や他の医療提供者にご相談ください。あなたに合った臨床試験かどうかを、一緒に判断することができます。このウェブサイトで選択肢が見つからない場合は、公的な治験情報登録サイト(例: ClinicalTrials.gov )をご覧になり、現在募集中の臨床試験を探してみることをお勧めいたします。
