Postradical prostatectomy prostate‐specific antigen outcomes after 6 versus 18 months of perioperative androgen‐deprivation therapy in men with localized, unfavorable intermediate‐risk or high‐risk prostate cancer: Results of part 2 of a randomized phase 2 trial

Summary: | Background
Patients with localized, unfavorable intermediate–risk and high‐risk prostate cancer have an increased risk of relapse after radical prostatectomy (RP). The authors previously reported on part 1 of this phase 2 trial testing neoadjuvant apalutamide, abiraterone, prednisone, plus leuprolide (AAPL) or abiraterone, prednisone, and leuprolide (APL) for 6 months followed by RP. The results demonstrated favorable pathologic responses (tumor 200 ng/dL).
Results
Overall, 82 of 118 patients (69%) enrolled in part 1 were randomized to part 2. A higher proportion of patients who were not randomized to adjuvant therapy had a favorable prostatectomy pathologic response (32.3% in nonrandomized patients compared with 17.1% in randomized patients). In the intent‐to‐treat analysis, the 3‐year biochemical progression‐free survival rate was 81% for arm 2A and 72% for arm 2B (hazard ratio, 0.81; 90% confidence interval, 0.43–1.49). Of the randomized patients, 81% had testosterone recovery in the AAPL group compared with 95% in the observation group, with a median time to recovery of |
