Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44173   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7329   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To determine if treatment with apalutamide plus ADT before and after RP with pLND in subjects with high-risk localized or locally advanced
    prostate cancer results in an improvement in pCR rate and MFS based on conventional or prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron
    emission tomography (PET) imaging, as compared to placebo plus ADT
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To determine if treatment with apalutamide plus ADT before and after RP with pLND in subjects with high risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in:
    - improvement of PSA-free survival
    - an improvement in EFS as compared with standard of care (SoC)
    - a prolongation of time to first subsequent local or systemic treatment (TTST1)
    - longer time to distant metastasis (TTDM) on conventional or PSMA PET imaging
    - an improvement of MFS based on conventional imaging

    To characterize the safety profile of treatment with apalutamide plus
    ADT before and after RP with pLND in subjects with high risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    This is an open-label substudy to compare the current standard of care (SoC) with perioperative apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The above referenced substudy is described with details on study design, hypothesis, objectives, and endpoints in Attachment 9 (Open-label Substudy) of Protocol Amendment 6 dated 04 November 2021. The primary objective of this substudy is to determine if treatment with apalutamide plus ADT before and after RP with pLND in subjects with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in an improvement in event-free survival (EFS) as compared with SoC. Key secondary objectives are to determine if this treatment results in improvement of other efficacy endpoints and to characterize the safety profile.
