Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time to Prostrate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression
Time to PSA progression was calculated as the time from the date of randomization to the first observation of PSA progression. PSA progression was defined as a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 microgram/liter (μg/L) (2 nanogram/milliliter \[ng/mL\]) above the nadir (i.e., lowest PSA value observed post baseline or at baseline), which was confirmed by a second consecutive value at least 3 weeks later. Time to event analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
From the date of randomization to the first observation of PSA progression (up to 38 months)
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS)
up to 38 months
Time to First Symptomatic Skeletal Event (SSE)
Up to 38 months
Time to Castration Resistance
Up to 38 months
Percentage of Participants With PSA Response (≥ 50%)

Percentage of Participants With PSA Response (≥ 90%)

Study Arms (3)
Enzalutamide Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) (Double Blind Phase)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received enzalutamide 160 mg capsules, orally once daily if tolerable, and continued ADT until radiographic disease progression was documented or until they started another investigational agent or new therapy for treatment of prostate cancer. Participants were to remain on study treatment until confirmed radiographic disease progression. ADT (either bilateral orchiectomy or LHRH agonist/antagonist) was maintained during study treatment.
Placebo Plus ADT (Double Blind Phase)
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants received enzalutamide-matching placebo capsules, orally once daily and continued ADT until radiographic disease progression was documented or until they started another investigational agent or new therapy for treatment of prostate cancer. Participants were to remain on study treatment until confirmed radiographic disease progression. ADT (either bilateral orchiectomy or LHRH agonist/antagonist) was maintained during study treatment."
Enzalutamide Plus ADT (Open-Label Phase)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who received placebo in double-blind phase and remaind on study treatment until confirmed radiographic disease progression received enzalutamide and continued ADT in open-label phase. ADT (either bilateral orchiectomy or LHRH agonist/antagonist) was maintained during study treatment.
Interventions
Oral
All participants were required to maintain ADT during study treatment, either using luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist or having a history of bilateral orchiectomy.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Double Blind treatment Phase:
- Subject is diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation, signet cell or small cell histology.
- Subject has metastatic prostate cancer documented by positive bone scan (for bone disease) or measurable metastatic lesions on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (for soft tissue). Subjects whose disease spread is limited to regional pelvic lymph nodes are not eligible.
- Once randomized at day 1, subject must maintain androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist or antagonist during study treatment or have a history of bilateral orchiectomy (i.e., medical or surgical castration).
- Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 at screening.
- Subject has an estimated life expectancy of ≥ 12 months.
- Subject is able to swallow the study drug and comply with study requirements.
- A sexually active male subject with female partner(s) who is of childbearing potential is eligible if:
- Agrees to use a male condom starting at screening and continue throughout the study treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. If the male subject has not had a vasectomy or is not sterile at least 6 months prior to screening his female partner(s) is utilizing 1 form of highly effective birth control per locally accepted standards starting at screening and continue throughout study treatment and for at least 3 months after the male subject receives his last dose of study drug.
- Subject must agree to abstinence or use a condom throughout the study period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug if engaging in sexual intercourse with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner(s).
- Subject must agree not to donate sperm from first dose of study drug through 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
- Subject agrees not to participate in another interventional study while on treatment.
- Open Label Phase:
- Before the sponsor's formal determination on study-wide unblinding, includes the subject who has evidence of radiographic progression as confirmed during the double-blind treatment (only apply to the subject in the placebo arm).
- Subject has not met any of the discontinuation criteria in the main protocol. Subject in the placebo arm who achieved confirmed radiographic progression in the double-blinded period is eligible.
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Double-Blind Treatment Phase:
- Subject has received any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery for metastatic prostate cancer (the following exceptions are permitted):
- Up to 3 months of ADT with LHRH agonists or antagonists or orchiectomy with or without concurrent antiandrogens prior to day 1, with no radiographic evidence of disease progression or rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels prior to day 1;
- Subject may have 1 course of palliative radiation or surgical therapy to treat symptoms resulting from metastatic disease if it was administered at least 4 weeks prior to day 1;
- Up to 6 cycles of docetaxel therapy with final treatment administration completed within 2 months of day 1 and no evidence of disease progression during or after the completion of docetaxel therapy;
- Up to 6 months of ADT with LHRH agonists or antagonists or orchiectomy with or without concurrent antiandrogens prior to day 1 if subject was treated with docetaxel, with no radiographic evidence of disease progression or rising PSA levels prior to day 1;
- Prior ADT given for \< 39 months in duration and \> 9 months before randomization as neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy.
- Subject had a major surgery within 4 weeks prior to day 1.
- Subject received treatment with 5-α reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) within 4 weeks prior to day 1.
- Subject received treatment with estrogens, cyprotoerone acetate or androgens within 4 weeks prior to day 1.
- Subject received treatment with systemic glucocorticoids greater than the equivalent of 10 mg per day of prednisone within 4 weeks prior to day 1, intended for the treatment of prostate cancer.
- Subject received treatment with herbal medications that have known hormonal antiprostate cancer activity and/or are known to decrease PSA levels within 4 weeks prior to day 1.
- Subject received prior aminoglutethimide, ketoconazole, abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide for the treatment of prostate cancer or participation in a clinical study of an investigational agent that inhibits the androgen receptor or androgen synthesis (e.g., TAK-700, ARN-509, ODM-201).
- Subject received investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to day 1.
- Subject has known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease.
