Brief summary

This multicenter randomized phase II trial investigates the impact of intense androgen deprivation on radical prostatectomy (RP) pathologic response and radiographic and tissue biomarkers in localized prostate cancer (NCT02903368).

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, phase II, prospective, randomized trial designed to investigate the efficacy of neoadjuvant and adjuvant abiraterone acetate + apalutamide for men with intermediate-high risk prostate cancer who are candidates for RP. The study includes two parts. In part 1, patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive 6 months of abiraterone acetate, apalutamide, leuprolide and prednisone (Arm 1A) versus 6 months of abiraterone acetate, leuprolide and prednisone (Arm 1B) followed by RP, stratified by risk factor (intermediate versus high-risk). High-risk factors will be defined as a Gleason score ≥ 8, PSA \> 20 ng/dL, or T3 disease on MRI. In part 2 (post-RP), patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive an additional 12 months of abiraterone acetate, apalutamide, leuprolide and prednisone (Arm 2A) or observation (Arm 2B) stratified by type of neoadjuvant therapy and pathological T-stage (\< pT3 versus ≥ pT3) after RP but before cycle 7 day 1 following neoadjuvant therapy. There will be an early stopping rule for Part 2 should a high rate of patients refuse to participate or drop out early while receiving adjuvant therapy (\<6 months).

Mean Scores for Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaires EPIC-26 at 6-months Post-RP (Part 2)

The QOL will be measured using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite 26 (EPIC-26). For part 2, the questionnaires will be administered at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months post RP. Resulting domain scores for EPIC-26 (urinary incontinence, urinary obstruction, sexual, bowel, hormonal/vitality) is on a 0-100 scale, with higher values representing a more favorable health-related QOL.

Time frame: At 6-months post-RP

Population: 32 subjects receiving Arm 2A and 34 receiving Arm 2B completed EPIC-26 QOL questionnaires at 6 months post RP.

Median of Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) at RP (Part 1)

RCB was calculated as tumor volume (cm\^3) X % cellularity. RCB was analyzed as a continuous score (with median and range) instead of a categorical variable based on the percentile cutoff point, at the time of radical prostatectomy (RP).

Time frame: Assessed from RP specimens, at 6 months from the initiation of neoadjuvant therapy.

Population: 114 patients (55 in AAPL Arm and 59 in APL Arm) had RP pathologic assessment, excluding the four who withdrew prior to RP.

Percent of Participants With Nadir PSA < 0.2 ng/mL Prior to RP (Part 1)

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) was measured on day 1 of each cycle during the neoadjuvant therapy. PSA nadir was defined as the lowest PSA value prior to Radical Prostatectomy (RP). Number and percent of participants with nadir PSA \< 0.2 ng/mL were reported.

Time frame: Assessed on day 1 of each cycle (1 cycle=28 +/- 2 days), up to 6 months from the initiation of neoadjuvant therapy.

Population: PSA nadir was collected in 115 patients (56 in AAPL Arm and 59 in APL Arm).

Rate of Freedom From Further Anti-cancer Therapy at 2-years Post RP (Part 2)

Defined as the probability of freedom from further anti-cancer therapy at 2-years from the date of Part 2 randomization, which is estimated using Kaplan Meier methods. The event includes initiation of anti-cancer therapy (radiation therapy, ADT, or other therapies) for rising PSAs and/or clinical progression. Participants who are lost to follow-up before the 2-year mark are censored at date of last follow-up.
