Summary

This trial will study whether the addition of apalutamide to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can improve outcomes for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).

Who is the study for?
Men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who are fit for treatment (ECOG PS 0 or 1), have bone lesions confirmed by scans, and may have had limited prior treatments like docetaxel or ADT. Not eligible if they've had certain other cancers within 5 years, brain metastases, only lymph node involvement, visceral-only metastases, previous next-gen anti-androgens or seizure history.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether adding a drug called Apalutamide to standard Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) can help improve survival without the cancer getting worse on scans. Participants will either receive Apalutamide plus ADT or a placebo plus ADT to compare outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Apalutamide can cause fatigue, high blood pressure, skin rash, falls and fractures due to bone weakening. It might also lead to seizures in rare cases. Standard ADT side effects include hot flashes, reduced sexual desire and function, weight gain and mood changes.
