Randomized, Open-Label Phase 2 Study of Apalutamide plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy versus Apalutamide Monotherapy versus Androgen Deprivation Monotherapy in Patients with Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Table 2

Prespecified endpoints in the ARN-509-002 study.

Primary endpoint
1Mean change from baseline to 12 months in FACT-P total score

Secondary endpoints
1Mean change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30/QLQ-PR25 over time
2Mean change from baseline in SHIM over time
3Time to PSA progression

Exploratory endpoints
1Proportion of patients without evidence of PSA or radiographic progression in the setting of recovered serum testosterone (≥150 ng/dL) at 24 months
2Proportion of patients with PSA <0.2 ng/mL after 7 months of therapy
3Time to testosterone recovery >150 ng/dL during the off-therapy observation period
4Mean change from baseline in bone mineral density at 12 months§

Treatment period of 12 months was selected based on previously published studies of intermittent ADT that used, in general, an induction period of 8 to 12 months [12,13]. Time to PSA progression was defined as PSA rise to ≥50% of the baseline serum PSA or rise of ≥2 ng/mL above the nadir, whichever was higher, confirmed by repeat measurement at least 2 weeks later. Based on a prior clinical study of men with mCSPC that showed that after 7 months of ADT induction, men with a nadir PSA level of <0.2 ng/mL, versus 0.2–4.0 ng/mL, or versus >4.0 ng/mL had progressively shorter median overall survival [21]. §The endpoint of mean change from baseline in bone mineral density at 12 months was based on a clinical study that found a significant decrease in bone mineral density after 12 months of ADT [22].
