Brief Summary
Patients with post-prostatectomy PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features will receive salvage radiation therapy and standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or enhanced ADT to determine if there is any improvement in progression-free survival when enhanced ADT is used compared to standard ADT.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Alive Without Progression (Progression-Free Survival)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS time is measured from randomization to the date of first PFS failure (biochemical or clinical failure, initiation of new unplanned anticancer treatment, or death from any cause) or last known follow-up (censored). Analysis was to occur after progression or death was reported for 101 participants. Biochemical failure is defined as first post-RT detectable PSA (PSA ≥ 0.05). Clinical failure is defined as either a local, regional, or distant failure.
From randomization to first failure or last known follow-up. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Secondary Outcomes (16)
Percentage of Participants With Biochemical Failure
From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Percentage of Participants With Alternative Biochemical Failure
From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Percentage of Participants With Hormone-refractory Disease
From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Percentage of Participants With Distant Metastasis
From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Percentage of Participants With Prostate Cancer Death
From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.

Study Arms (2)
Salvage Radiation Therapy (SRT) + Standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard ADT: 24 months of GnRH analog (any formulation) with optional 1-4 months of bicalutamide (50 mg/day). SRT: Starting within 0-70 days of initiation of GnRH analog, 66.6-70.2 Gy as 1.8 Gy/fraction in 37-39 fractions or 66.0-70.0 Gy as 2.0 Gy/fraction in 33-35 fractions lasting approximately 7-8 weeks, and optional lymph node boost.
Salvage Radiation Therapy + Enhanced ADT
EXPERIMENTALEnhanced ADT: 24 months of GnRH analog (any formulation) with 24 months of enzalutamide (160 mg/day). SRT: Starting within 0-70 days of initiation of GnRH analog, 66.6-70.2 Gy as 1.8 Gy/fraction in 37-39 fractions or 66.0-70.0 Gy as 2.0 Gy/fraction in 33-35 fractions lasting approximately 7-8 weeks, and optional lymph node boost.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pathologically (histologically) proven adenocarcinoma confirmed by prostatectomy performed within 10 years prior to registration and any type of radical prostatectomy is permitted, including retropubic, perineal, laparoscopic or robotically assisted.
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (≥ 0.2 ng/mL) within 120 days prior to registration. Patients must have a PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL prior to starting ADT. For patients being followed by an ultrasensitive PSA assay, a serum PSA concentration of ≥ 0.10 ng/mL will be considered eligible.
- GnRH analog may be started no more than 42 days prior study entry.
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, independent of transfusion and/or growth factors within 90 days prior to registration.
- Platelet count ≥ 75,000 x 10\^9/µL independent of transfusion and/or growth factors within 90 days prior to registration.
- At least 1 of the following aggressive features:
- Gleason score of 8-10 (note any Gleason score is eligible)
- Seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) (note any pT stage American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) v8.0 is eligible but a pT stage
- ≥ pT3b is considered aggressive)
- Locoregional node involvement at radical prostatectomy (RP) (pN1)
- Persistently elevated PSA post-RP nadir (PEPP) defined as PSA \> 0.1 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy
- PSA ≥ 0.7 ng/mL
- Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL within 90 days prior to registration
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥35 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault or measured directly by 24 hour urine creatinine within 90 days prior to registration.
- Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (Note: In subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is \>1.5 × ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin and if direct bilirubin is ≤1.5 × ULN, subject is eligible) within 90 days prior to registration.
- +2 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of metastatic disease with the exception of locoregional lymph nodes.
- Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer carcinoma in situ of the male breast, penis, oral cavity, or stage Ta of the bladder, or stage I completely resected melanoma) unless disease free for a minimum of 2 years).
- Prior systemic chemotherapy for the study cancer. Note: prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowable.
- Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields.
- History of any of the following:
- Documented inflammatory bowel disease
- Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 4 months prior to registration.
- New York Heart Association Functional Classification III/IV within 4 months prior to registration.
- Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 4 months prior to registration
- History of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack within 12 months prior to randomization
- History of seizure disorder or condition that may predispose to seizure (e.g. prior cortical stroke or significant brain trauma)
- History of uncontrolled hypertension defined as a sustained systolic blood pressure in excess of 150 mmHg or a sustained diastolic blood pressure in excess of 90 mmHg despite optimized antihypertensive therapy.
- History of repeated falls and fractures over the past 12 months that in the opinion of the treating investigator would put the patient at risk for poor bone outcomes from androgen receptor targeted therapy
- Known gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption of oral medications.
- Active uncontrolled infection defined as an identified infectious condition that requires active therapy that has not yet been completed.

Limitations and Caveats
The sample size calculation was modified due to a change in eligibility, however the sample size itself remained the same at 242 patients since the hazard ratio was reduced of 0.65 to 0.63. Later, a change in the definition of biochemical failure which is a component of the primary endpoint of PFS decreased the sample size to 170 patients.
