  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression [Up to 3 years]

      Time to PSA progression (TTPP) is defined as a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the nadir, which is confirmed by a second consecutive value at least 3 weeks later.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Duration of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) [Up to 3 years]

      rPFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first objective evidence of radiographic disease progression as assessed or death (defined as death from any cause within 24 weeks from study drug discontinuation), whichever occurs first. Radiographic disease progression is defined as progressive disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 for soft tissue disease or by appearance of 2 or more new lesions on bone scan.

    2. Time to first Symptomatic Skeletal Event (SSE) [Up to 3 years]

      Time to first SSE is defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of the first SSE. SSE is defined as radiation or surgery to bone, clinically apparent pathological bone fracture or spinal cord compression.

    3. Time to castration resistance [Up to 3 years]

      Castration resistance is defined as occurrence of radiographic disease progression, PSA progression or SSE with castrate levels of testosterone (< 50 ng/dL). Time to castration resistance is defined as the time from randomization to the first castration resistant event (radiographic disease progression, PSA progression or SSE), whichever occurs first.

    4. Percentage of participants with PSA response (≥ 50%) [Up to 3 years]

      PSA response ≥50% is defined as ≥50% reductions in PSA level from baseline to the lowest post-baseline PSA result as determined by the central laboratory, with a consecutive assessment conducted at least 3 weeks later to confirm the PSA response.

    5. Percentage of participants with PSA response (≥ 90%) [Up to 3 years]

      PSA response ≥90% is defined as ≥90% reductions in PSA level from baseline to the lowest post-baseline PSA result as determined by the central laboratory, with a consecutive assessment conducted at least 3 weeks later to confirm the PSA response.

    6. Time to initiation of new antineoplastic therapy [Up to 3 years]

      All antineoplastic therapies, including cytotoxic and hormone therapies, will be considered for this endpoint. Time to initiation of a new antineoplastic therapy is defined as the time from randomization to the initiation of antineoplastic subsequent to the study treatments.

    7. PSA undetectable rate (< 0.2 ng/mL) [Up to 3 years]

      The PSA undetectable rate is defined as the percentage of participants with detectable (≥ 0.2 ng/mL) PSA at baseline, which becomes undetectable (< 0.2 ng/mL) during study treatment.

    8. Objective response rate (ORR) [Up to 3 years]

      The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with measureable disease at baseline who achieved a complete or partial response in their soft tissue disease using the RECIST version 1.1 criteria on computed tomography (CT)/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and for bone lesions on bone scans.
