Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The primary hypothesis of this study is that outcomes for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy will be improved by the addition of enzalutamide for 6-months compared to standard-of-care salvage radiation therapy to allow for further study in the definitive phase III setting. This study builds on the prior success of high-dose bicalutamide (for 24 months) when combined with salvage external radiation therapy (XRT), while using a newer more potent anti-androgen for a shorter duration of time (6 months) in an effort to minimize adverse effects.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Enzalutamide (Anti-androgen)
  • Salvage Radiation Therapy (Radiation)
Trial OverviewThe trial is testing whether adding Enzalutamide (a powerful anti-androgen drug) for six months improves outcomes in men whose prostate cancer returned post-surgery compared to just salvage radiation therapy. The goal is to see if this combination helps more than standard care without causing too many side effects.
