Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: The primary efficacy end point was MFS. Secondary efficacy end points were time to metastasis, progression-free survival, symptomatic progression, initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy, and overall survival. Safety and pharmacokinetic parameters were also assessed. RESULTS: Fifty-five Japanese patients with ongoing ADT were randomized ( apalutamide: n = 34, placebo: n = 21). Median treatment duration was 5.7 months in the apalutamide group and 11.0 months in the placebo group. Median MFS was not reached in the apalutamide group (95% confidence interval: 10.97, not estimable) and was 18.23 months (95% confidence interval: 11.04, 18.50) in the placebo group. Secondary end points were improved in the apalutamide group. The safety profile of apalutamide with ADT was comparable with the global population, and no new safety signals were identified in this Japanese subpopulation. Although, apalutamide exposure tended to be higher in the Japanese subpopulation compared with the non-Japanese population, this was likely to be explained by body weight and considered not clinically meaningful. CONCLUSION: In the Japanese subpopulation, treatment with apalutamide with ADT resulted in favorable efficacy outcomes with comparable benefit-risk profile to the global population with nm-CRPC who are at high-risk of developing metastases.
