ADT + Apalutamide

for Prostate Cancer

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.

SABR Treatments

for Prostate Cancer

Prostate Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an established technique that delivers radiation in a non-invasive approach for men with prostate cancer. The treatment regimen is given in total of 5 fractions with one treatment per day at every other day or weekly sessions. Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) is an emerging monotherapy for localized prostate cancer however, several trials have observed demonstrating superior biochemical control of a two-fraction (HDR) over single-fraction approach. The study aims to compare an experimental shorter course of prostate ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) that will deliver what is expected to be an equivalent amount of radiation as given in the standard 5 treatment regimen. UHRT is given in 2 treatments with one treatment a week for 2 consecutive weeks.
