What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-stage study tests the drug apalutamide in 19 Chinese men whose prostate cancer has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. Researchers want to see how the drug behaves in the body and if it is safe. They will also check if it lowers PSA levels, a marker of cancer activity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
apalutamide
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that apalutamide is safe and works similarly in Chinese patients, supporting its use for controlling advanced prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 19 participants. It focuses on safety and drug levels, not on proving the drug works. Results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than or equal to (\<=) 2 * Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features * Metastatic disease as documented by bone scan or metastatic lesions by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans (visceral or lymph node disease). Lymph nodes in the pelvis must measure at least 1.5 centimeter in a short axis to be considered target lesion according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 based on the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria * Castration-resistant prostate cancer (PC) demonstrated during continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), defined as 3 rises of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), at least 1 week apart, with the last PSA greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) * Prior hormonal interventions (including 1st generation antiandrogens \[flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide\], steroids, estrogens, finasteride, dutasteride) for PC are allowed. These therapies, except for gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs (GnRH) analogs and prednisone/prednisolone, must have been discontinued for minimally 4 weeks (2 weeks only for flutamide, nilutamide, or finasteride) before first dose of study drug Exclusion Criteria: * Known brain metastases * Chemotherapy, or immunotherapy within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives of the drug prior to the first dose of study drug, whichever is longer, with a maximum of 4 weeks. * Prior treatment with second-generation anti-androgens (example \[eg\], enzalutamide) * Administration of an investigational therapeutic within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives of the drug prior to the first dose of study drug, whichever is longer, with a maximum of 4 weeks. And participant use radiopharmaceutical agents (eg, strontium-89) or investigational immunotherapy (eg, sipuleucel-T) within 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug * Prior treatment with cytochrome 17 inhibitors (eg, abiraterone acetate, orteronel, galeterone, systemic ketoconazole)
