About this trial
Prostate cancer often leads to bone metastases, which require adequate pain management with opioids such as oxycodone. This study investigates whether abiraterone - a drug used in the treatment of prostate cancer - affects the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone in order to improve pain management.
