Randomized Phase II Study of Salvage XRT + ADT +/- Abiraterone Acetate and Apalutamide (ARN-509) for Rising PSA After Radical Prostatectomy With Adverse Features.(FORMULA-509 Trial)
This research study is comparing two different combinations of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) used together with radiation as a treatment for rising PSA after radical prostatectomy (prostate cancer).
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the
safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the
intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that an
intervention is being studied. In this study, the investigational agents are apalutamide
and abiraterone acetate.
Currently, the best standard treatment for men with this type of prostate cancer includes
radiation therapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT blocks the
function of hormones including testosterone which prostate cancer uses to grow and
spread. All participants in this study will receive the main standard form of ADT called
a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHA). Physicians often also use
another drug called bicalutamide to help the LHRHA block hormone function. The
investigators are testing whether using two newer anti-hormonal drugs called abiraterone
acetate and apalutamide with LHRHA can improve cure rates compared to using bicalutamide
plus LHRHA. These two drugs work together to suppress both testosterone and the receptor
where testosterone binds thereby providing more potent hormone suppression.

direct and indirect bilirubin; if direct bilirubin is ≤1.5 × ULN, subject may
be eligible
- 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.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Use of post-prostatectomy ADT for > 30 continuous days prior to registration (ADT
defined as use of GnRH agonist, with or without an anti-androgen). However, patients
with testosterone recovery after post-prostatectomy ADT are eligible (testosterone
recovery defined as total testosterone > 190 ng/dL) regardless of how long they have
been on ADT.
- Prior pelvic radiation unless additional radiation can be safely delivered according
to the treating physician
- PSA > 15 ng/mL in screening
- History of any of the following:
- Seizure or known condition that may predispose to seizure (e.g., prior stroke
within 1 year of randomization, brain arteriovenous malformation, Schwannoma,
meningioma, or other benign CNS or meningeal disease which may require
treatment with surgery or radiation therapy)
- Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart
failure, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (e.g., pulmonary embolism,
cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), or clinically
significant ventricular arrhythmias within 6 months prior to randomization
- Current evidence of any of the following:
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption
- Active infection (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] or viral hepatitis)
- Any chronic medical condition requiring a dose of corticosteroid higher than 10
mg prednisone/prednisolone once daily
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would preclude
participation in this study
- Moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh Class B or C)
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or
biologic composition to study drugs

study requirements
- Individuals with a history of another malignancy are not eligible if:
- the cancer is under active treatment or
- the cancer can be seen on radiology scans or
