Trial design
Randomised, apalutamide (jnj-56021927) in combination with abiraterone acetate (zytiga 250 mg tablets) and prednisone (prednison acis) versus abiraterone acetate (zytiga 250 mg tablets) and prednisone; placebo to match jnj-56021927 used for blinding. (product information shows max daily doses: apalutamide 240 mg, abiraterone acetate 1000 mg, prednisone 10 mg.)-controlled Phase III trial across 13 sites in Netherlands, Spain, Germany.

- Vulnerable Population
- No vulnerable population selected; trial includes adult men only ("Subject must be a man age ≥18 years of age, inclusive").
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Subject must be a man age ≥18 years of age, inclusive\n- Adenocarcinoma of the prostate\n- Metastatic disease as documented by technetium-99m (99mTc) bone scan or metastatic lesions by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (visceral or lymph node disease). If lymph node metastasis is the only evidence of metastasis, it must be greater than or equal to (>=) 2 centimeter (cm) in the longest diameter\n- Castration-resistant prostate cancer demonstrated during continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), defined as 3 rises of PSA, at least 1 week apart with the last androgen deprivation therapy (PSA) >= 2 nanogram per milliliters (ng/mL)\n- Patients who received a first generation anti-androgen (eg, bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide) must have at least a 6-week washout prior to randomization and must show continuing disease (PSA) progression (an increase in PSA) after the washout period\n- Prostate cancer progression documented by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) according to the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG2); radiographic progression of soft tissues according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST) modified based on PCWG2, or radiographic progression of bone according to PCWG2."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Small cell or neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate\n- Known brain metastases\n- Prior chemotherapy for prostate cancer, except if administered in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant setting\n- Previously treated with ketoconazole for prostate cancer for greater than 7 days\n- Therapies that must be discontinued or substituted at least 4 weeks prior to randomization include the following: a) Medications known to lower the seizure threshold, b) Herbal and nonherbal products that may decrease PSA levels (example [eg], saw palmetto, pomegranate) or c) Any investigational agent\n- At screening need for parenteral or oral opioid analgesics (eg, codeine, dextropropoxyphene)"}
Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"The primary objective is to compare the radiographic progression-free Survival (rPFS) of apalutamide in combination with abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone or prednisolone (AAP) and AAP in subjects with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC."}
