Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate - High-risk disease defined by a total Gleason Sum Score greater than equal to (>=) 4+3 (=Grade Groups [GG] 3-5) and >=1 of the following 4 criteria: a) Any combination of Gleason Score 4+3 (= 3) and Gleason Score 8 (4+4 or 5+3) in >= 6 systematic cores (with >=1 core Gleason Score 8 [4+4 or 5+3] included); b) Any combination of Gleason Score 4+3 (=GG 3) and Gleason Score 8 (4+4 or 5+3) in >=3 systematic cores and Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >=20 ng/mL (with >= 1 core Gleason Score 8 [4+4 or 5+3] included); c) Gleason Score >=9 (=GG 5) in at least 1 systematic or targeted core; d) At least 2 systematic or targeted cores with continuous Gleason Score >=8 (=GG 4), each with > 80 percent (%) involvement - Candidate for radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection as per the investigator - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1 - Contraceptive use by male participants (and female partners of male participants enrolled in the study who are of childbearing potential or are pregnant) should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants participating in clinical studies - Able to receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for at least 13 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Distant metastasis based on conventional imaging (clinical stage M1). Nodal disease below the iliac bifurcation (clinical stage N1) is not an exclusion. Diagnosis of distant metastasis (clinical M stage; M0 versus M1a, M1b, M1c) and pelvic nodal disease (clinical N stage; N1 versus N0) will be assessed by central radiological review. Participants are considered eligible only if the central radiological review confirms clinical stage M0 - (a)Prior treatment with androgen receptor antagonists; (b)Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) prior to informed consent form (ICF) signature - History of prior systemic or local therapy for prostate cancer, including pelvic radiation for prostate cancer - Use of any investigational agent less than or equals to (<=)4 weeks prior to randomization or any therapeutic procedure for prostate cancer at any time - Major surgery <=4 weeks prior to randomization - Any of the following within 12 months prior to first dose of study drug: severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (example, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias or New York Heart Association Class II to IV heart disease; uncomplicated deep vein thrombosis is not considered exclusionary

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Percentage of Participants with Pathologic complete response (pCR) pCR is assessed by a pathology blinded independent central radiology review (BICR) as defined in the pathology charter. [Time Frame: Approximately 4 years] 2. Metastasis-Free Survival (MFS) MFS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the occurrence of radiographic distant metastasis evaluated by radiology BICR, incidental pathologic finding of distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. [Time Frame: Up to 7 years and 5 months]

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
3. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)-Free Survival PSA-free survival with testosterone recovery defined as the time from randomization to the first detectable serum PSA level with recovered testosterone levels after undetectable PSA post-radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection or death, whichever occurs first. [Time Frame: Approximately 4 years] 4. Event Free Survival (EFS) EFS defined as time from randomization to any of the following events: biochemical failure (BCF); or local or regional recurrence by BICR or histopathological assessment; or distant metastasis by BICR or histopathological assessment; or death. [Time Frame: Up to 7 years and 5 months] 5. Time to Subsequent First Treatments (TTST-1) TTST-1 is defined as the time from randomization to the date of first subsequent therapy. [Time Frame: Up to 7 years and 5 months] 6. Time to Distant Metastasis (TTDM) TTDM is defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the first date of distant metastasis. [Time Frame: Up to 7 years and 5 months] 7. MFS Based on Conventional Imaging MFS based on conventional imaging, defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first occurrence of radiographic distant metastasis on CT/MRI and bone scan by radiology BICR, pathologic finding of distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. [Time Frame: Up to 7 years and 5 months] 8. Number of Participants with No Evidence of Disease (NED) at 4 Years Number of participants with NED at 4 years will be reported. NED at 4 years is defined as: (a) alive, (b) Undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA), (c) No distant metastasis, (d) No local or regional recurrence, (e) No subsequent therapy for prostate cancer, (f) Testosterone recovery to physiological testosterone levels, defined as 200 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). [Time Frame: Up to 4 years] 9. Number of Participants with Vital Signs Abnormalities as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability Number of participants with vital
