About this trial

This is a multi-centre, investigator-initiated, three-arm, randomized trial to investigate the addition on androgen receptor pathway inhibitor and atorvastatin to standard of care radiation and hormone therapy improve quality of life.

Participants will either receive standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy (Arm 1), standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy plus oral abiraterone for 8-9 months (Arm 3) or standard of care radiation and hormone (ADT) therapy plus oral abiraterone for 8-9 months plus atorvastatin for 2 years (Arm 4). Participants will be routinely follow-up in clinic or remotely for up to 5 years.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression free survival

Determine if progression free survival improves with the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or abiraterone) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment.

Time frame
5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Patient-reported quality of life

Determine if the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment results in a patient-reported quality of life difference compared to standard of care treatment alone using quality of life questionnaires (FACT-P).

Time frame
5 years
2

Patient-reported quality of life

Determine if the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment results in a patient-reported quality of life difference compared to standard of care treatment alone using quality of life questionnaires (FACT-Fatigue).

Time frame
5 years
3

Physician-reported toxicity

Determine if the addition of short-term ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide) with or without statin (atorvastatin) to standard of care treatment results in a physician-reported difference in acute and late toxicities compared to standard of care treatment alone assessed by CTCAE Toxicity 5.0.

Time frame
5 years
4

Time to Testosterone Recovery

Determine time to testosterone recovery with the use of standard of care treatment, with or without ARPI (abiraterone or enzalutamide).

Time frame
5 years
