About this trial

The objective of this study is to see if providing an appropriate therapy based on the genomic testing of prostate tumour tissue will result in an improved clinical response.

Each participant will be treated with 8 weeks of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa) plus apalutamide (APA) while genome sequence characterization is being done. Participants with biopsy specimens deemed unevaluable for genomic testing will remain on LHRHa plus APA for an additional 16 weeks.

Participants with evaluable tissue will be assigned to one of the open-label sub-studies on the basis of genomic profiling results. Within each group, they will be randomized to a specific treatment arm either LHRHa plus APA alone or adding abiraterone acetate and prednisone, docetaxel or niraparib.

The study will evaluate the response rate and outcomes after radical prostatectomy in each arm of the trial.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete Pathologic Response (pCR)

Pathological Minimal Residual Disease (pMRD): pathological minimal residual disease (pMRD) is defined as residual tumour 5mm or less.

Time frame
6 years
2

Pathological Minimal Residual Disease (pMRD)

Pathological minimal residual disease is defined as residual tumour 5 mm or less.

Time frame
6 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Pain level assessment

The Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) is a 9-item, self administered questionnaire which evaluates the severity of a participant's level of pain and impact on daily functioning. This questionnaire will be administered at screening, prior to receiving master protocol therapy (0 weeks), the end of receiving therapy (8 weeks), as well as the End of Treatment (EoT) visit.

Time frame
6 years
2

Generic Quality of Life (QoL)

The EQ-5D-5L is a widely used instrument developed in Europe to evaluate the generic quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L has two components: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale. This questionnaire will be administered at screening, prior to receiving master protocol therapy (0 weeks), the end of receiving therapy (8 weeks) as well as at the EoT visit.

Time frame
6 years
3

Quality of Life-Prostate Cancer Patients

This will be measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) questionnaire. The FACT-P is a multidimensional, self-report QoL instrument specifically designed for use with patients who have prostate cancer. This questionnaire will be administered at screening, prior to receiving master protocol therapy (0 weeks), the end of receiving therapy (8 weeks) as well as at the EoT visit.
