LATITUDE

Abiraterone plus Prednisone in Metastatic, Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Phase 3N = 1,199NCT01715285

Population
Men with newly diagnosed, high-risk, metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
Design
Randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial: ADT plus abiraterone acetate 1000 mg and prednisone 5 mg daily versus ADT plus dual placebos. Eligibility required newly diagnosed metastatic castration-sensitive disease with at least two of three high-risk factors (Gleason score 8 or more, three or more bone lesions, measurable visceral metastasis). Co-primary end points: overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival.
Primary endpoint
OS, rPFS
Arms
  • ADT plus placebos (control, n = 602): ADT plus matching placebos
  • ADT plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone (experimental, n = 597): ADT plus abiraterone acetate 1000 mg and prednisone 5 mg daily
