A Study of an Intermittent ADT Approach With Apalutamide Monotherapy in Participants With mCSPC

Sponsor: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

Sponsor score: 60
Inactive

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05884398

This study evaluates intermittent ADT with apalutamide in mCSPC patients. Eligible participants include those with confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma and specific testosterone levels. Apalutamide is administered orally, with ADT choice at the investigator's discretion. Participants must not plan to conceive during or shortly after the study and must be able to swallow tablets.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of the study is to determine if the intermittent use of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in participants with metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) who reached a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level < 0.2 nanograms/millilitres (ng/mL) after 6 months of treatment with apalutamide and ADT combination therapy provides non-inferior radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and a reduced burden of hot flashes measured as 18-month percent change in severity adjusted hot flash score.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of prostate cancer prior to screening with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • For participants not undergoing Gender-affirming care: Metastatic prostate cancer disease documented by conventional imaging (example, computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], or bone scan) and/or next-generation imaging [NGI] demonstrating greater than equal (>=) 2 distinct extraprostatic sites of metastasis
  • For participants undergoing Gender-affirming care: No evidence of metastasis by either conventional imaging (example, CT, MRI, or bone scan) and/or NGI is also acceptable
  • For participants not undergoing gender-affirming care: testosterone levels > 50 (ng/dL) nanograms per deciliter at screening, except for those who may have received ADT prior to screening. Participants are allowed to have received up to 3 months of (ADT) androgen-deprivation therapy prior to enrollment
  • For participants undergoing Gender-affirming care: There is no testosterone level requirement for inclusion
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1. Participants with ECOG PS 2 or 3 are eligible for the study if the ECOG PS score is related to stable physical limitations (example, wheelchair-bound due to prior spinal cord injury) and not related to prostate cancer or associated therapy
  • A participant must agree not to plan to conceive a child while enrolled in this study or within 3 months after the last dose of study treatment
  • Must be able to take whole apalutamide tablets by swallowing alone or with another vehicle (example, applesauce)
  • Assigned male at birth, inclusive of all gender identities

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of seizure or known condition that has been determined to significantly predispose to seizure per investigator
  • Pelvic lymph nodes as only site of metastasis
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to excipients of apalutamide
  • Any of the following within 6 months prior to screening: severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, clinically significant arterial or venous thromboembolic events
  • Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption
  • Participants who have undergone a bilateral orchiectomy with the exception of participants who completed this as part of their gender-affirming care or a result of a variation in physical sex development
