Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed prostate cancer.
  • PSA ≥ 0.1 after radical prostatectomy.
  • Candidate for salvage radiation and ADT treatment, as determined by treating physician.
  • Age \>18 at the time of consent.
  • ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2.
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in the table below. All screening labs to be obtained within 90 days of registration. System Laboratory Value Hematological: Platelet count (plt) = ≥ 100,000/µL Hemoglobin (Hgb) = ≥ 9 g/dL Renal: eGFR = ≥ 30 mL/min using MDRD Formula Hepatic and Other: Bilirubin2 = ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = ≤ 2.5 x ULN Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = ≤ 2.5 x ULN Serum Albumin = \> 3.0 g/dL Serum potassium = ≥ 3.5 mmol/L 2In subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is \>1.5 x ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin; if direct bilirubin is ≤ 1.5 x ULN, subject may be eligible.
  • Ability to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study as determined by the site investigator or protocol designee.
  • Ability to understand English or Spanish language as determined by the site investigator or protocol designee. Since the primary outcome is a questionnaire available in English and Spanish.
  • Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information prior to registration. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately. Participants must have the ability to understand and willingness to sign the written informed consent document.

Exclusion criteria

  • Use of post-prostatectomy testosterone suppression prior to registration (use of GnRH agonist or antagonist, with or without an anti-androgen). However, participants with testosterone recovery after post-prostatectomy testosterone suppression are eligible (testosterone recovery defined as total testosterone \> 190 ng/dL) regardless of how long their testosterone was suppressed.
  • Use of testosterone suppression prior to prostatectomy if the ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post-RP) is required to risk stratify patients (those patients with PSA ≤0.5 and no evidence of nodal involvement require ArteraAI Prostate Test (Post-RP) to stratify).
  • Confirmed extrapelvic or bone disease based on conventional imaging
  • History of any of the following:
  • Seizure or known condition that may pre-dispose to seizure (e.g. prior stroke within 1 year prior to randomization, brain arteriovenous malformation, Schwannoma, meningioma, or other benign CNS or meningeal disease which may require treatment with surgery or radiation therapy).
  • Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (eg, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias within 6 months prior to randomization. Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study.
  • Current evidence of any of the following:
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (consistently \>160 systolic or \>100 diastolic)
  • Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption
  • Active infection (eg, human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] or viral hepatitis).
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study.
  • Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. 8\) Medications known to lower the seizure threshold (listed in section 5 below) must be discontinued or substituted 4 weeks prior to C1D1 of study treatment for participants on arms receiving apalutamide.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
