Detailed Description

This clinical study is an open-label, multicenter, interventional, Phase 4 study to evaluate changes in genomic alterations for 73 PC driver genes during apalutamide treatment in patients with mCSPC. A total of 100 participants to be treated by apalutamide will be registered in this study. All participants will undergo blood collection for ctDNA, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and human-leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing at pre- and posttreatment of apalutamide.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
