Randomized Three-Arm Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Neoadjuvant Apalutamide Alone or in Combination With Abiraterone Acetate and GnRH Agonist on Enhancing Surgical Outcome of Nerve-Sparing Radical Prostatectomy in Men With High-Risk Prostate Cancer

This randomized phase II trial studies how well androgen receptor antagonist ARN-509 works
with or without abiraterone acetate, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, and prednisone
in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Androgen can cause
the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using androgen receptor antagonist
ARN-509, abiraterone acetate, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRH agonist) may
fight prostate cancer by lowering the levels of androgen the body makes. Prednisone may
either kill the tumor cells or stop them from dividing. Giving androgen receptor agonist
ARN-509 with or without abiraterone acetate, GnRH agonist and prednisone may work better in
treating patients with prostate cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant androgen receptor antagonist ARN-509 (apalutamide)
with or without abiraterone acetate, GnRH agonist, and prednisone on the feasibility of
performing nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (RP) in men with high-risk prostate cancer
(PCa).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive androgen receptor antagonist ARN-509 orally (PO) daily for 3 months.
Patients then undergo radical prostatectomy.

ARM II: Patients receive GnRH agonist subcutaneously (SC) on day 1, androgen receptor
antagonist ARN-509 PO daily PO for 4 times, abiraterone acetate PO daily for 4 times, and
prednisone PO daily for 3 months. Patients then undergo radical prostatectomy.

ARM III: Patients undergo radical prostatectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate and: Gleason > 8 OR prostatic
specific antigen (PSA) > 20 and more than 1 positive core

- Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance scale (ECOG PS) 0 or 1

- Clinical stage T3 or less as demonstrated by abdominal/pelvic computed tomography (CT)
or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be selected as the prostate is resectable

- Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL, independent of transfusion and/or growth factors within 3
months prior to randomization

- Platelet count >= 100,000 x 10^9/uL independent of transfusion and/or growth factors
within 3 months prior to randomization

- Serum albumin >= 3.0 g/dL

- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 45 mL/min

- Serum potassium >= 3.5 mmol/L

- Serum total bilirubin =< 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (Note: In subjects with
Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is > 1.5 × ULN, measure direct and indirect
bilirubin and if direct bilirubin is =< 1.5 × ULN, subject may be eligible)

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 × ULN

- Medications known to lower the seizure threshold must be discontinued or substituted
at least 4 weeks prior to study entry

- Agrees to use a condom (even men with vasectomies) and another effective method of
birth control if he is having sex with a woman of childbearing potential or agrees to
use a condom if he is having sex with a woman who is pregnant while on study drug and
for 3 months following the last dose of study drug; must also agree not to donate
sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug

Exclusion Criteria:

- Clinical stage T4 (invasion into rectum or ureters) significantly increases the
morbidity of the surgery

- Patients with rectal or ureteral invasion will be considered to have unresectable
disease

- History of any of the following:

- Seizure or known condition that may pre-dispose to seizure (e.g. prior stroke
within 1year to randomization, brain arteriovenous malformation, Schwannoma,
meningioma, or other benign central nervous system [CNS] or meningeal disease
which may require treatment with surgery or radiation therapy)

- Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart
failure, arterial within 6 months prior to randomization

- Venous thromboembolic events (e.g., pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident
including transient ischemic attacks) within 6 months prior to randomization

- Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias within 6 months prior to
randomization

- Metastatic prostate cancer

- Baseline moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B or C)
