Patient Preference of Apalutamide Versus Enzalutamide in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Exclusion Criteria

• Patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, defined by the presence of visceral metastases or four or more bone lesions with at least one beyond the vertebral bodies and pelvis
• Patients with high-risk metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, defined by having at least two of the three following factors - a Gleason score above 7, having at least 3 bone metastasis or presence of measurable visceral metastasis
• Presence of brain metastasis
• Use of bisphosphonate or denosumab within 28 days prior to randomization
• Use of older anti-androgens, including flutamide and bicalutamide, for flare protection, within 28 days prior to randomization
• Prior use of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiopharmaceutical agents, CYP17 inhibitors (e.g. abiraterone acetate), enzalutamide or apalutamide for the treatment of prostate cancer or prior participation in a clinical trial of an investigational agent that inhibits the androgen receptor or androgen synthesis
• History of seizure or any condition that may predispose to seizure (e.g., neurological disorder, prior cortical stroke or significant brain trauma)
• Use of an investigational agent within 4 weeks of randomization
• Hypersensitivity reaction to the active pharmaceutical ingredient
• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following:
• Myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening;
• Uncontrolled angina within 3 months before screening;
• Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class 3 or 4, or a history of congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class 3 or 4, unless a screening echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan performed within 3 months before randomization demonstrates a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%;
• History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g. sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes);
• History of Mobitz II second-degree or third-degree heart block without a permanent pacemaker in place;
• Hypotension as indicated by systolic blood pressure \< 86 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) at screening;
• Bradycardia as indicated by a heart rate of \< 45 beats per minute on the screening electrocardiogram and on physical examination;
• Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by systolic blood pressure \> 170 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \> 105 mm Hg at screening
• Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer disease within 3 months before randomization)
• Major surgery within 28 days of randomization
• Any concurrent disease, infection, or comorbid condition that interferes with the ability of the patient to participate in the trial, which places the patient at undue risk, or complicates the interpretation of data, in the opinion of the investigator
