A Phase II Open-label, Parallel Group Study of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone in African American and Caucasian Men With Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer

The primary goal is to prospectively estimate the median radiographic PFS of African American
and Caucasian men with mCRPC to abiraterone acetate and prednisone.

This is a non-comparative pilot open-label, parallel arm, multicenter study of abiraterone
acetate in African American and Caucasian men with mCRPC. Patients will self-report on race
and 50 patients will be enrolled into each group. Patients will be treated on open-label
treatment until evidence of disease progression as defined by Prostate Cancer Working Group
Two (PCWG2) definition or until two years at which point they will roll over to the standard
of care at that time. The study agent abiraterone acetate will be administered by the patient
at a dose of 1000mg orally once daily with prednisone 5 mg BID in 4-week cycles throughout
the treatment period.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male, age ≥ 18 years

- Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70

- Life expectancy of ≥ 12 months

- Willing to take abiraterone acetate on an empty stomach; no food should be consumed at
least two hours before and for at least one hour after the dose of abiraterone acetate
is taken, and should be able to swallow tablets whole, without crushing/chewing
tablets

- Patients who have partners of childbearing potential must be willing to use a method
of birth control with adequate barrier protection as determined to be acceptable by
the principal investigator and sponsor during the study and for 1 week after last dose
of abiraterone acetate

- Adequate laboratory parameters

- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Histologic
variants of prostate cancer, including neuroendocrine features and small cell
carcinoma of the prostate are excluded

- Radiographic evidence of metastatic disease; evaluable non-target lesions and/or bone
only metastasis are permitted

- Ongoing ADT using an LHRH agonist (e.g. leuprolide, goserelin) or antagonist (e.g.
degarelix) must continue on therapy unless prior bilateral orchiectomy has been
performed. Screening serum testosterone must be <50 ng/dl

- PSA ≥ 2.0 ng/mL

- Evidence of of castration resistant disease on ADT as evidenced by one of the
following:

- Absolute rise in PSA of 2.0 ng/mL or greater, minimum 2 consecutive rising PSA
levels with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each PSA level, OR

- 2 consecutive PSA levels 50% or greater above the PSA nadir achieved on ADT and
separated at least 1 week apart, OR

- CT or MRI based evidence of disease progression (soft tissue, nodal or visceral
disease progression) according to modified PCWG2 criteria or modified RECIST 1.1
criteria, or at least 1 new bone scan lesion as compared to the most immediate
prior radiologic studies)

- A minimum of 2 weeks elapsed off of antiandrogen therapy prior to start of study drug
(i.e. flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamide)

- A minimum of 4 weeks elapsed off of sipuleucel-T prior to start of study drug

- A minimum of 4 weeks from any major surgery prior to start of study drug

- Self-reported race of either African American or Caucasian

- Ability to swallow, retain, and absorb oral medication

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior treatment with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide

- Active infection or other medical condition that would make prednisone/prednisolone
(corticosteroid) use contraindicated

- Any chronic medical condition requiring a higher dose of corticosteroid than 5mg
prednisone/prednisolone bid

- Have known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to abiraterone acetate or
prednisone or their excipients

- Pathological finding consistent with small cell carcinoma of the prostate

- Symptomatic Liver or visceral organ metastasis

- Have a history of gastrointestinal disorders (medical disorders or extensive surgery)
that may interfere with the absorption of the study agents

- Known brain metastasis

- Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or biologic therapy for the treatment of CRPC

- Previously treated with ketoconazole for prostate cancer for greater than 7 days

- Prior systemic treatment with an azole drug (e.g. fluconazole, itraconazole) within 4
weeks of Cycle 1, Day 1

- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 95 mmHg). Patients
with a history of hypertension are allowed provided blood pressure is controlled by
anti-hypertensive treatment.

- Poorly controlled diabetes

- Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease

- History of pituitary or adrenal dysfunction

- Clinically significant heart disease as evidenced by myocardial infarction, or
arterial thrombotic events in the past 6 months, severe or unstable angina, or New
York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IV heart disease or cardiac ejection fraction
measurement of < 50% at baseline

- Atrial Fibrillation or other cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy

- Other malignancy, except non-melanoma skin cancer, with a ≥ 30% probability of
recurrence within 24 months

- Administration of an investigational therapeutic within 30 days of Cycle 1, Day 1

- Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation
in this trial
