[Comparison of Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisolone and Combined Androgen Blockade in High-risk Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer].

Abiraterone acetate plus prednisone/prednisolone (AAP) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was approved for the treatment of high-risk metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in Japan in 2018. We investigated 22 patients with mHSPC showing ≥2 of 3 high-risk factors (Gleason score ≥8, ≥3 bone lesions or measurable visceral metastases) who received AAP plus ADT at our hospital between March 2018 and October 2019. We compared outcomes between the propensity-score matched AAP plus ADT group and the combined androgen blockade (CAB) group (19 matched pairs, 38 patients) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AAP plus ADT.
