Apalutamide and Leuprolide in Intermediate and High-risk Prostate Cancer

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2016
This is a research study to test an investigational drug (Not FDA approved), Apalutamide given in combination with Leuprolide acetate (FDA approved) in men diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer who have already selected to have surgery to remove their prostate gland as part of their treatment plan. The main purpose of this study is to determine how tumors make androgens (male hormones), which makes these tumors more aggressive and resistant to hormonal therapy and how a short period of treatment with Apalutamide and leuprolide acetate prior to surgery can affect the production of these hormones in normal and malignant prostate tissue.
