Brief summary:
This phase II trial studies how well apalutamide works in treating patients with prostate cancer who are in active surveillance. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using androgen receptor antagonist apalutamide may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells.

Detailed description:
OUTLINE:

Patients receive apalutamide orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 90 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of the study treatment, patients are followed up at 180, 365, 545, and 730 days; and at years 3, 4 and 5 by medical record review.

Title: A Phase 2 Study of Apalutamide in Active Surveillance Patients 
Objective: To determine if a 90-day course of apalutamide will lead to a negative repeat prostate 
biopsy in active surveillance patients. 
Study Design: This is an open label, multi-site, Phase II study to evaluate the combination of 
apalutamide in men followed on active surveillance. 
Participating Institutions: University of Washington Medical Center 
Financial and Medication Support: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC 
Timeline: This study is planned to complete enrollment within one year, with all patients followed 
for a total of five years. 
Treatment Plan: This is an open label, multi-site, Phase II study designed to determine the 
negative repeat prostate biopsy rate following 90-days of treatment with apalutamide. All 
subjects must be enrolled in the active surveillance program at the University of Washington 
Medical Center. All eligible patients will initiate therapy with apalutamide, which will be 
administered at the FDA approved dose for treating non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate 
cancer (i.e., 240 mg daily by mouth). Note that apalutamide is FDA approved only for the 
treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and is under 
development as an investigational product for other types of prostate cancer. Subjects will have 
either 1) an MRI detectable cancer of PIRADS 3 or more >5mm, and pathologically documented 
by MRITTRUS fusion biopsy with coordinates of biopsy site stored for repeat biopsy; or 2) a 
systematic 12 core biopsy pathologically documenting prostate cancer with the coordinates of 
the biopsy sites stored for repeat biopsy. This biopsy may be done up to 12-months prior to 
enrollment. 
Following 90-days of treatment with apalutamide, patients will undergo a repeat prostate biopsy 
selectively targeting sites of prior positive biopsies (3 from each positive biopsy site) plus a 12 
core systematic prostate biopsy without targeting. All patients will continue on active 
surveillance per the standard practice of the treating urologist. 
The primary endpoint for this trial will be the absence of residual carcinoma (i.e., a negative 
repeat biopsy) as determined by targeted and systematic biopsies following 90-days of 
apalutamide. Secondary endpoints will include: exit from active surveillance due to pathologic 
progression or otherwise at 2 years, receipt of local treatment for prostate cancer at 2 years, 
local treatment free survival, PSA progression at 2 years, PSA PFS as defined by Prostate 
Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria, radiographic disappearance of MRI detectable

nodules following treatment, quality of life changes and safety (as assessed by the revised 
National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE], 
version 4.03).1 
Biopsy specimens, blood and plasma samples will be stored at -80°C. These specimens will be 
labeled with a subject's unique study ID, and will not have personal identifiers imprinted on 
them. Samples (i.e., prostate tissue, blood and plasma) will be obtained pre- and post-treatment 
with apalutamide. These biologic specimens will be used for additional correlative work. 
Examples of studies to be conducted may include, but are not limited to: assessment for PTEN 
loss via immunohistochemistry (INC), assessment for alteration in MYC/chromosome 8q24 via 
FISH, whole blood RNA expression panel, and tumor mRNA expression profiling/risk 
classification (e.g., Decipher [GenomeDX Biosciences, San Diego, CA], Oncotype DX Prostate 
Cancer Assay [Genomic Health, Inc., Redwood City, CA], or RNA-seq).2-6  
Subject enrollment requires a baseline systematic 12 core biopsy with pathologically 
documented prostate cancer and with the coordinates of the biopsy sites stored for repeat 
biopsy. Subjects can include men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer or those already 
enrolled in active surveillance, but baseline prostate biopsy must have occurred within 12-
months of enrolling onto this study. Subjects may have had a multiparametric MRI of the 
prostate performed at least 6 months from any prior prostate biopsy. If an MRI detectable 
cancer of PIRADS 3 or more and >5mm was pathologically documented by MRI/TRUS fusion 
biopsy with coordinates of biopsy site stored, this lesion will be targeted for repeat biopsy. 
Otherwise, coordinates should be stored using a standard sextant prostate biopsy diagram 
(Appendix A) to aid in targeted repeat biopsy. Ninety days after treatment with apalutamide, all 
subjects will undergo 1) selective biopsy targeting cancer positive sites based on stored 
coordinates (3 biopsy cores per positive site); and 2) a 12 core non targeted systematic biopsy. 
PSA will be measured at baseline (i.e., within 30 days of initiating treatment per the study) and 
again within one week of completing combination therapy. PSA progression will be determined 
based on PCWG2 criteria (i.e., confirmed rising PSA  ng/mL at least one week apart).1

1. Introduction 
1.1. Overview and Rationale 
Prostate cancer is highly curable when caught at an early stage, with 10-year 
overall survival (OS) rates following radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy 
reported at >80%.7.9 While this data is encouraging, it is now recognized that a large 
number of men with localized, low grade prostate cancer are being over treated. Large 
population based screening programs conducted in Europe have reported that the 
number of men with prostate cancer who need to be treated in order to save one life 
may be as high as 48.9 A similar study conducted in the United States did not find that 
prostate cancer screening efforts led to any improvement in overall survival (05).19  
A logical conclusion from the aforementioned screening data is that only a subset of 
higher risk men may stand to benefit from localized prostate cancer treatment. One 
strategy to mitigate this over treatment entails the expectant management of men with 
favorable risk prostate cancer (i.e., active surveillance), where only patients with 
pathologic upstaging are referred for local therapy (e.g., prostatectomy or radiation 
therapy).11-13  Active surveillance can lead to approximately 45% to 70% of men with 
favorable risk disease avoiding local therapy, with approximately 25 to 35% leaving the 
program due to pathologic upstaging.13'14  Medical strategies to further decrease the rate 
of exit from active surveillance due to pathologic upstaging are needed given the 
morbidity associated with RP or prostatic radiation therapy. The need for intervention in 
this group is further bolstered by the fact that in spite of presenting with favorable risk 
disease, a subset of these patients will still go on to die from metastatic prostate 
cancer.1415  
Androgen/androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapies remain the backbone of 
advanced prostate cancer therapy.16  The initial treatment paradigm typically involves 
driving testosterone levels down to the castrate range (i.e., <50 ng/dL), most often 
through chemical castration with an LHRH agonist or antagonist. This approach is 
successful in controlling the disease in upwards of 85% of men; however, responses 
are typically transient and at the time of progression men are labeled as having castrate 
resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).17'18  The observation that even in a castration-
resistant state AR regulated genes (e.g., PSA) remain expressed has led to the further

Apalutamide in Active Surveillance patients  Protocol Version: 6.0; September 06, 2019 
exploration of the AR-signaling axis as a therapeutic target in men with CRPC. 
Subsequently, newer AR-directed agents like abiraterone and enzalutamide, which 
inhibit AR-signaling in men with CRPC through disrupting the ligand-AR interaction (Abi 
through ligand depletion and Enza through receptor antagonism) have been 
developed.19-23  The next-generation pure AR-antagonist apalutamide builds on the 
success of enzalutamide, with improved pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics 
(PK/PD), and is currently under clinical investigation.' 
Given the proven track record of targeting the androgen/AR axis in the more 
advanced setting, AR-signaling inhibitors are the logical choice to evaluate at an earlier 
stage. Indeed, twenty-four weeks of neoadjuvant abiraterone acetate in combination 
with an LHRH agonist (leuprolide) has been reported to result in a 24% total/near total 
pathologic complete response (pCR) rate as documented in prostatectomy 
specimens.25 Monotherapy with apalutamide may have the theoretical advantage of not 
causing prolonged testosterone suppression. This is in contrast to the LHRH agonists 
which have been documented to cause prolonged testosterone suppression following 
their discontinuation.26-29  
The hypothesis of this trial is that apalutamide will lead to negative repeat 
biopsies as determined through systematic and site directed biopsies in active 
surveillance patients, which should in turn lead to decreased rates of pathologic 
progression and attrition from active surveillance. 
1.2. Androgen/Androgen Receptor Directed Therapies 
The initial management of advanced prostate cancer, as well as higher risk 
localized prostate cancer being treated with radiation therapy, typically involves 
targeting the androgen/androgen receptor (AR) signaling axis through lowering serum 
testosterone levels."' This is accomplished either through surgical castration or now 
more commonly with an LHRH agonist/antagonist (i.e., hormonal therapy [HT]). 
Hormonal therapy is initially highly effective in those with metastatic prostate cancer, 
leading to objective responses in >85% of individuals.17  Unfortunately, after a variable 
period of symptom relief, androgen ablation invariably ceases to suppress prostate 
cancer growth and patients eventually succumb to their disease. This disease state 
defined by progression in spite of androgen ablation has been termed castrate resistant

prostate cancer (CRPC).18  More recently it has come to light that CRPC is still largely 
dependent on androgen/AR axis signaling. This realization has led to the development 
of multiple newer AR directed therapies.'" Mechanistically these agents primarily 
work either through ligand depletion (e.g., abiraterone acetate) or through interference 
with AR trafficking and signaling (e.g., apalutamide, enzalutamide). 
Traditional HTs have several unwanted side effects, making their use in an 
otherwise healthy population of men somewhat disadvantageous. Specifically, these 
agents have been shown to increase one's risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, 
lead to weight gain, and cause serum total cholesterol levels to increase.31-34 While one 
could argue that brief periods of LHRH agonist therapy are unlikely to produce such 
unwanted effects, it has been well documented that the use of HT for even a transient 
period of time can lead to prolonged periods of testosterone suppression — potentially 
putting these men at risk for the aforementioned side effects.28-28 After approximately 8 
months of HT only —35% of men will recover their testosterone to baseline and only 70-
80% of men will recover their testosterone to within a normal range." 
1.2.1. APALUTAMIDE 
Apalutamide works through competitive AR inhibition and unlike the older 
anti-androgens (e.g., bicalutamide, nilutamide), is a pure AR antagonist. It 
additionally has the ability to prevent AR nuclear translocation and DNA binding 
to nuclear response elements.24 It is generally felt to function similarly to 
enzalutamide, another AR targeted therapy approved for men with mCRPC pre-
and post-docetaxel. In docetaxel pre-treated patients enzalutamide was shown to 
result in a 37% reduced risk of death compared to placebo (HR 0.63, 95% Cl, 
0.53-0.75; P<0.001), and in docetaxel naïve patients it led to a 29% reduction in 
the risk of death compared to placebo (HR 0.71, 95% Cl, 0.60 to 0.84; 
P<0.001).2223 Preclinical work comparing apalutamide to enzalutamide, 
however, demonstrated that apalutamide may have several theoretical 
advantages over enzalutamide.' Namely, in mouse models apalutamide was 
able to achieve a maximal therapeutic effect at 30 mg/kg/day compared to 100 
mg/kg/day of enzalutamide (Figure 1). Apalutamide is also able to achieve 
equivalent intra-tumoral concentrations at a lower plasma steady state 
concentration compared to enzalutamide. Finally, while high-dose Apalutamide

(i.e., 3-fold higher than the Phase II dose of 240 mg/day based on dose per m2  
body surface area and standard species conversion factors) has resulted in 
tremors and seizures in dogs, apalutamide is less effective than enzalutamide at 
crossing the blood-brain barrier. This may result in decreased CNS toxicities in 
those treated with apalutamide compared to enzalutamide. For instance, while 
enzalutamide has been implicated in causing seizures in a minority of patients, 
possibly through off target inhibition of GABA-A, no seizure have occurred in 
subjects treated on the Phase I/II studies of apalutamide (see apalutamide 
Investigator's Brochure).22.37

1.2.1.1. APALUTAMIDE Clinical Trial Experience 
The first in human Phase I/II study of apalutamide is currently 
ongoing [Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT01171898]. This study is evaluating men 
with mCRPC. Results from the Phase I portion of this study (N=30) 
demonstrated that apalutamide is generally safe and well tolerated. At 
the maximum tested dose of 300 mg daily by mouth only 1/4 subjects 
experienced a grade 3 adverse event (AE) (abdominal pain). The other 
three individuals receiving a dose of 300 mg daily did not experience 
dose limiting toxicities (DLT) (see apalutamide Investigator's Brochure); 
[Rathkopf, ASCO GU 2012]. Common grade 1-2 AEs observed in the 
Phase I study included: fatigue (47%), nausea (30%), abdominal pain

(20%), arthralgias (13%), diarrhea (17%), dyspnea (13%) and peripheral 
sensory neuropathy (13%). Five patients experienced serious adverse 
events and one patient discontinued the study due to an adverse event 
(atrial fibrillation) deemed unrelated to study treatment. PSA declines 
50% were observed in 12 (55%) patients. 18F-166-fluoro-5a-
dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) PET evaluation demonstrated AR blockade 
at four weeks across multiple doses. Given promising activity observed 
across all doses in conjunction with no appreciable difference in FDHT-
PET uptake at 240 mg compared to 300 mg of apalutamide, a dose of 
240 mg has been selected for Phase ll testing.22,24 
The Phase II portion of this study is ongoing and will evaluate 
three expansion cohorts with a total enrollment of 97 patients ( see 
apalutamide Investigator's Brochure).22 The primary endpoint of the 
Phase II study is PSA response at 12 weeks according to Prostate 
Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) Criteria.' All cohorts will consist of 
men who are chemotherapy naïve and have CRPC. Specific cohorts are: 
1) non-metastatic CRPC, 2) mCRPC pre-abiraterone acetate and 3) 
mCRPC post-abiraterone acetate. Preliminary results for the non-
metastatic CRPC cohort, mCRPC pre-abiraterone acetate cohort and the 
mCRPC post-abiraterone acetate cohort demonstrated 50% PSA 
declines at 12-weeks in 91% (41/45), 88% (22/25) and 29% (4/14) 
subjects, respectively (see apalutamide Investigator's Brochure).38 The 
most frequent, treatment-emergent, all causality, adverse events 
observed in > 10% of patients were fatigue (43%), diarrhea (32%), 
abdominal pain (25%), and nausea (23%). Table 6 in the apalutamide 
Investigator's Brochure lists all Phase ll AEs reported in more than 3 
patients by cohort. In Phase II, as of 20 August 2012, there were three 
Grade 3 treatment-related AEs: diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rash. Both 
diarrhea and rash occurred in NM-CRPC patients, with start dates 
approximately one month after the start of treatment and both were 
ongoing at the time of the data cut. The third Grade 3 AE (abdominal 
pain) occurred in a metastatic treatment-naïve CRPC patient, starting 29 
days after the start of treatment. It resolved after eight days of study

Apalutamide was recently approved by the FDA for use in men 
with non-metastatic CRPC on the basis of Phase III data showing that it 
significantly prolonged the time to development of metastatic disease39. In 
the pivotal Phase III study, patients with a PSA doubling time  months 
were randomized 2:1 between apalutamide or placebo. Men in the 
apalutamide group had a median metastasis-free survival of 40.5 months 
vs. 16.2 months in the placebo group (HR = 0.28; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.35; 
P<0.001). Several additional studies evaluating apalutamide are ongoing, 
including a Phase I trial evaluating it in combination with abiraterone 
acetate in a mCRPC population [clinicaltrials.gov, NCT01792687]. 
1.3. Active Surveillance 
While watchful waiting is primarily focused on avoiding treatment in those with 
advanced prostate cancer and a minimal life expectancy, active surveillance is geared 
towards individualizing management in those with favorable risk disease who are 
otherwise fit for local therapy — the intent being to not sacrifice overall cure rates while 
minimizing overtreatment." Those individuals felt most appropriate for this strategy 
have traditionally had low to very low-risk localized prostate cancer, usually as defined 
by the criteria proposed by Epstein or D'Amico; however, several cohorts now allow 
men with favorable-intermediate risk disease (i.e., low-volume Gleason 3+4 
disease).14,40-42 By focusing on those with favorable risk disease, active surveillance has 
been able to achieve comparable survival rates compared to those receiving immediate 
treatment while allowing approximately 45% to 70% of men to avoid local therapy 
(Table 2).1314 Furthermore, given that upward of 45% of men may qualify for active 
surveillance (i.e., have at least low risk disease), if management of patients per this 
paradigm becomes more widely accepted, the number of men avoiding unnecessary 
local therapy could reach nearly 50,000 per year in the United States alone.43,44

Enrollment criteria vary across active surveillance cohorts, but in general enrollment 
is offered only to those with favorable risk prostate cancer, which can be defined as 
very low-risk to low-intermediate risk disease (i.e., low-volume Gleason 3+4 
disease).40,41,48 In general, local intervention is recommended upon pathologic 
reclassification (i.e., increased tumor volume or Gleason score), with some also 
recommending intervention following a change in PSA kinetics.13,14,46 The reported 
reasons men leave active surveillance in pursuit of treatment include: Gleason grade 
change (8% to 38%), PSA increase (14% to 26%) and anxiety (3% to 9%).49  
As conducted at Johns Hopkins, active surveillance focuses on men with very low-
risk disease as defined per the Epstein criteria (i.e., Tic stage, PSA density <0.15 
ng/mL, PSA <10 ng/mL, Gleason 56, 52 cores involved and 550% cancer in any given 
core).11,13,41 Approximately 80% of men enrolled in the active surveillance program at 
Johns Hopkins met all criteria for very low-risk disease, with the other 20% failing to 
meet the PSA <10 ng/mL requirement only. Surveillance has entailed semiannual PSA 
measurements with digital rectal exam (DRE) and an annual 12 to 14 core biopsy. 
Curative local therapy is in turn only recommended upon pathologic upgrade from the 
enrollment criteria. To date, 1,134 men have enrolled in active surveillance, with 508 
(45%) men exiting the program. Out of those who have exited, 298 (26%) were 
secondary to pathologic upstaging, 99 (9%) elected to undergo treatment in spite of 
stable pathology and 113 (10%) electively withdrew from the program (Figure 2). Out of 
the 113 that electively withdrew from active surveillance, 66 (58.4%) were lost to follow-
up. In regard to those who exited active surveillance due to pathologic upstaging, 130 
(44%) exited due to Gleason score upgrading, 168 (56%) exited due to an increase in 
disease volume (i.e. total number of effected cores >2 or >50% involvement in any 
given core). Within two years 143 (12.6%) exited; 65 (45%) due to Gleason score 
upgrading and 78 (55%) due to an increase in disease volume. Only one of the 
subjects on active surveillance at Johns Hopkins has died as a result of prostate cancer

In contrast to the Johns Hopkins active surveillance cohort, the University of 
Toronto cohort allows select patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer to enroll.' 
Prior to the year 2000, patients >70 years-old who had a PSA up to 15 ng/ml or a 
Gleason score 53+4 were allowed to enroll. After 2000, any patient could enroll if they 
had a PSA of 10-20 ng/ml and/or a Gleason score 53+4 as long as they had a life 
expectancy of <10 years and significant comorbidities. Gleason 7 patients with primary 
pattern 4 disease were excluded given that these patients have been shown to have 
poorer outcomes compared to primary pattern 3 patients." Out of 993 men enrolled 
onto this cohort, 25% fulfilled the D'Amico criteria for intermediate risk." After a median 
follow up of 6.4 years, 27% of men have received intervention for their prostate cancer. 
Reasons for leaving the program include: short PSA doubling time (11.7%), grade

progression (9.5%), patient preference (1.6%), stage progression (0.8%) and biopsy 
volume progression (0.6%). Prostate cancer-specific mortality remains low, with only 
6% of patients having died from metastatic prostate cancer at 15-years. There does, 
however, appear to be an increased risk of death for those with intermediate risk 
disease compared to those with low-risk disease (15 year OS: 50.3% vs. 68.8%, 
P<0.0001; 15 year prostate cancer-specific survival: 88.5% vs. 96.3%, P<0.01).15  
One area in need of further study is how to best manage minority patients with 
prostate cancer. For instance, African American men have been reported to have a 1.6 
fold increased age-adjusted incidence of prostate cancer and a 2.4 fold increased age-
adjusted prostate cancer mortality." While some of the observed disparities in 
outcomes can be attributed to socioeconomic factors, a difference in tumor biology 
cannot be excluded, with some data pointing to African Americans harboring faster 
growing tumors compared to Caucasians.50.51 It has recently been reported that 
amongst a cohort of men with very low-risk prostate cancer being followed with active 
surveillance, African Americans were more likely to experience pathologic upgrading 
post-prostatectomy compared to Caucasians (27.3% vs. 14.4%; P<0.001).52 This data 
indicates that current means of risk stratifying based on clinical parameters alone may 
not be sufficient for certain patient populations interested in enrolling in active 
surveillance programs. Incorporating additional variables into pre-operative predictive 
models, such as prostatic MRI data, may help to overcome some of these limitations. 
1.3.1. Androgen-directed Therapy in Active Surveillance 
Two trials have assessed the clinical effects of androgen-directed therapy 
(e.g., LHRH agonist, 5a-reductase inhibitor) in men with prostate cancer enrolled 
on active surveillance. The first trial reported by Fleshner and colleagues 
randomized men with low-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance (T1c-T2a, 
Gleason score 56, PSA 511 ng/mL and a life expectancy of >5 years) to 
dutasteride 0.5 mg PO daily (N=144) vs. placebo (N=145).53 The primary 
endpoint was time to prostate cancer progression, defined as the time to 
pathological or therapeutic (i.e., radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy or drug 
therapy) progression. The dutasteride group had significantly fewer patients with 
prostate cancer progression at 3 years compared to the placebo group (38% vs. 
48%, P=0.009) and a higher negative 12-core TRUS repeat biopsy rate (36% vs.

23%, P=0.024). It should be noted, however, that the rates of pathological 
progression were the same for the dutasteride and placebo groups (29% vs. 
33%, P=0.079). 
The second trial by Cussenot and colleagues evaluated combination 
leuprolide 22.5 mg SC and bicalutamide 50 mg PO daily in men enrolled on 
active surveillance.' Subjects were required to have low-risk prostate cancer 
(Gleason 5.6, PSA < 10 ng/mL, 53 positive cores and 5T2a). Ninety-eight 
subjects were enrolled and received a single 3-month depot injection of 
leuprolide plus 15 days of oral bicalutamide around the time of their injection. The 
primary endpoint was the negative 10-core TRUS biopsy rate approximately one 
year after initiation of therapy. They reported a negative re-biopsy rate of 45% 
(11-19 months post-medical therapy). The investigators noted that this was 
higher than the 36% negative biopsy rate reported in the trial by Fleshner and 
colleagues. 
Neither of the aforementioned studies documented the development of 
metastatic prostate cancer or prostate cancer related death. Both of these trials 
demonstrate the feasibility and safety of an androgen-directed medical 
intervention in men enrolled on active surveillance. While the randomized trial by 
Fleshner and colleagues does report a decreased rate for the composite 
therapeutic and pathological progression endpoint, the fact that the rate of 
pathologic progression between groups is the same may indicate that 5a-
reductase inhibitor therapy alone is inadequate to alter the natural course of low-
risk prostate cancer. The report by Cussenot and colleagues interestingly 
reported a higher negative repeat biopsy rate when men were treated with 
combined leuprolide plus bicalutamide; however, caution should be taken in 
comparing data across studies. It is notable that there were a substantial number 
of false negatives in the Fleshner study, as evidenced by the high number of men 
(23%) with a negative repeat biopsy on the placebo arm. 
1.3.2. MRI in Active Surveillance 
While most centers have not formally incorporated MRI into their active 
surveillance guidelines, it does appear that MRI may play a role in determining

whether higher risk prostate cancer is present — be it through guiding prostate 
biopsies or improving upon predictive nomograms. Indeed, it has been shown 
that current clinical models used to determine the probability of insignificant 
prostate cancer pre-prostatectomy can be improved upon through incorporating 
endorectal prostatic MRI data.55.56 MRI has also been shown to be useful in 
planning prostate biopsies, with the cancer detection rate in those with and 
without detectable prostate lesions being 70.1% and 13.1% respectively 
(P<0.001).57  The multiparametric MRI (mMRI) is most useful in excluding 
presence of clinically significant disease defined as tumor volume >0.5 cm3. 
Turkbey et al reported that at 3.0 T mMRI can accurately estimate the index 
tumor volume sized above 0.5 cm3 compared with prostatectomy histological 
findings. MRI could detect 127 of 135 (94%) index tumors. Mean volume of 
tumors detected on MRI was 2.02 cm3 (median 0.98, range 0 to 21). Eight tumors 
were missed by MRI, the mean tumor histological volume 0.19 cm3 (median 0.11, 
range 0.0046 to 0.58) .59 In a study by Rosenkrantz et al, it has been shown that 
mMRI can accurately (82.7-89%) detect tumor foci measuring more than 3 mm 
on prostatectomy histological exam. The median diameter of tumors detected by 
MRI was 9 mm (range, 4-20 mm). They only considered tumor foci of larger than 
3 mm on histopathology as tumor positive.59  Lee et al have also reported the 
mean diameter of tumor suspicious lesions in a subgroup of patients with lesions 
less than 1 cm on DWI (8.26±1.51mm).69  
Recent advances in mMRI employ both morphologic and functional MR 
techniques, which allow extending the obtainable imaging information beyond 
anatomical assessment. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) interrogates the 
tissue microstructure at the microscopic scale of water self-diffusion and by 
measuring the Brownian motion of water molecules provides information about 
the functional environment of water in tissue and reflecting cellular status of 
normal and pathological tissue.61 Furthermore, DWI is sensitive to changes in the 
micro-diffusion of water within the intra-cellular space and extracellular space 
and cytotoxic edema due to alterations in the ATP dependent sodium-potassium 
pumps.62 The quantitative biomarker of water diffusivity is apparent diffusion 
coefficient (ADC). In general, water movement is restricted by compacted or 
proliferating cells, which enables the ADC to be a marker of tumor density or

cellularity, such that, a highly dense malignant region will have low ADC and an 
area with low cellular density will exhibit a high ADC value. Malignant lesions 
have a lower ADC values (about 20-40%) than benign or normal prostatic tissue. 
Preliminary results suggest that DWI-MRI has the potential to not only increase 
the specificity of PCa detection but also to support prediction of tumor 
aggressiveness.62 Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) 
dynamically captures the distribution of intravenously administered Gadolinium-
based contrast agents between tissue and blood pool, and allows characterizing 
the microvascular environment alterations resulting from tumor angiogenesis, 
reflecting changes in perfusion and capillary permeability.' DCE-MRI uses 
pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling to describe the microscopic processes leading to 
the distribution of contrast agent molecules between the vascular and 
extravascular spaces over time. Tissue enhancement therefore contains 
information about the microvascular properties, the extravascular space and the 
exchange rate between these compartments. The parameters in the PK model 
are: the leakage space (ye), efflux rate constant (kep), and the influx volume 
transfer constant (Kt).  These parameters are connected by the equation: 
ve=

ansr- p.  
e Limited data are available on the application of MRI in monitoring 
treatment response in prostate cancer, such as the study of monitoring response 
to androgen deprivation therapy.64 These investigators reported significant 
reduction in all DCE-MRI parameters in the region of tumor, while normal-
appearing tissue showed no significant change after 3-month therapy.64  
The significance of MRI detectable prostate lesions in men who have low 
to very-low risk prostate cancer as defined by standard clinical criteria (i.e. the 
Epstein criteria) is illustrated in data from men enrolled in the active surveillance 
program at Johns Hopkins (unpublished data)." In total, 98 active surveillance 
patients had follow-up data and underwent prostatic MRI (endorectal MRI in 
83.8%). Thirteen (13.3%) had MRI invisible tumors and 85 (86.7%) had MRI 
visible tumors. After a median follow-up post-MR' of 13 months (range, 1-42 
months), none of those with MRI invisible tumors had pathologic reclassification

their presence perhaps indicating an underlying significant cancer — even when 
otherwise classified as low to very low-risk. 
1.4. Exploratory Biomarkers 
1.4.1. PTEN 
PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene implicated in the tumorigenesis and 
progression of prostate cancer.66-69 It plays an important role in the modulation of 
phosphatidylinosito1-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling, most likely though preventing the 
activation of the protein kinase Akt.' Loss or inactivation of PTEN can in turn 
lead to the upregulation of PI3K/AKT signaling as well as downstream mTOR 
signaling!' Genomic PTEN loss as determined through Fluorescence in situ 
hybridization (FISH) as well as lost PTEN expression as determined by 
immunohistochemistry (IHC) have been associated with adverse pathological 
markers as well as increased risk of recurrence following prostatectomy.72-76  
1.4.2. MYC 
MYC is an onco-protein that functions as a transcription factor, regulating 
cell proliferation, metabolism, protein synthesis, mitochondrial function and stem 
cell renewal!' Like PTEN, its expression has been associated with prostate 
cancer initiation and progression.77-79 Indeed, MYC has been shown to be able 
to transform benign prostate cancer cells in a single step and its overexpression 
has been documented at the earliest stages of transformation in prostatic 
intraepithelial neoplasia samples.78.86 The region on chromosome 8q24 that 
encompasses the MYC locus is often altered (e.g. amplified, deleted) in more 
advanced disease.77,81-63 Interestingly, while alterations in chromosome 8q24 
have been documented in more advanced cases of prostate cancer, MYC protein 
expression seems to be higher in Gleason 3 disease compared to Gleason 4-5 
disease!' 
1.4.3. ERG 
Gene fusions between the androgen receptor regulated TMPRSS2 gene 
and members of the ETS family of nuclear transcription factors (primarily ERG)

are frequently recognized in prostate cancer specimens." Furthermore, these 
gene fusions may synergize with PTEN loss, leading to more aggressive prostate 
cancer behavior.72'86  
1.4.4. KI-67 
KI-67 (Ki67) is a nuclear protein complex that is present during all active 
phases of the cell cycle, but absent during the GO phase, making it a marker of 
cellular proliferation [Gerdes et al, 19841.86 In men with localized prostate cancer, 
Ki67 has been found to independently associate with the risk of developing 
progressive disease following both radiation therapy and radical 
prostatectomy.72'87  
1.4.5. AR-axis liquid biopsy assay 
Expression of a panel of RNA markers will be evaluated from whole blood 
collected in PAXgene RNA tubes. These cancerous RNA transcripts are involved 
in AR-signaling, steroidogenesis, proliferation, neuroendocrine and other 
pathways important in prostate cancer. Detection of differential expression levels 
may associate with response to drug treatment. 
1.4.6. Prostate Cancer mRNA Expression Profiling/Risk Classifier 
There are several commercially available mRNA expression assays 
designed to assess the risk of prostate cancer recurrence/progression (e.g., 
Decipher [GenomeDX Biosciences, San Diego, CA] and Oncotype DX Prostate 
Cancer Assay [Genomic Health, Inc., Redwood City, CA]).2-6 In addition, whole 
transcriptome sequencing (i.e., RNA-seq) can provide detailed assessment of the 
landscape of genes being transcribed within a population of cancer cells, and 
provide insights into potential resistance mechanisms. One or more of these 
approaches will be used on prostate core biopsy specimens obtained pre- and 
post-treatment with apalutamide. The goal will be to develop predictive 
biomarkers for response to apalutamide.

4. Treatment Plan 
4.1. Study Design 
This is an open label, multi-site, Phase II study designed to determine the 
negative repeat prostate biopsy rate following 90-days of treatment with apalutamide. 
All subjects must be enrolled in the active surveillance program at the University of 
Washington Medical Center. All eligible patients will initiate therapy with apalutamide, 
which will be administered at the FDA approved dose for treating non-metastatic 
castration-resistant prostate cancer (i.e., 240 mg daily by mouth). Note that 
apalutamide is FDA approved only for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic 
castration-resistant prostate cancer, and is under development as an investigational 
product for other types of prostate cancer. Subjects will have either 1) an MRI 
detectable cancer of PIRADS 3 or more >5mm, and pathologically documented by 
MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy with coordinates of biopsy site stored for repeat biopsy; or 2) a 
systematic 12 core biopsy pathologically documenting prostate cancer with the 
coordinates of the biopsy sites stored for repeat biopsy. This biopsy may be done up to 
12-months prior to enrollment. 
Following 90-days of treatment with apalutamide, patients will undergo a repeat 
prostate biopsy selectively targeting sites of prior positive biopsies (3 from each positive 
biopsy site) plus a 12 core systematic prostate biopsy without targeting. All patients will 
continue on active surveillance per the standard practice of the treating urologist. 
Must meet one of the following criteria: 
1) Very low-risk prostate cancer: 
• Stage Tlc 
• PSA density <0.15 ng/mL 
• Gleason 6 
• 52 cores with 550% involvement of any core, 
or any percent involvement if unilateral 
disease 
1) Selective site 
directed biopsy 
(3 cores per site) 
2) Low risk prostate cancer: 
ARN-509 240 mg daily  ). 
And 
Determine negative 
repeat biopsy rate 
Treatment: 90 days 
• Stage sT2a 
• PSA <15 ng/mL 
• Gleason 6 
2) Systematic 12 
core biopsy 
3) Low-intermediate risk prostate cancer 
• Stage Tlc 
• PSA <15 ng/mL 
• Gleason 3+4 in 550% of one core 
• Gleason 6 in all other cores

The primary endpoint for this trial will be the absence of residual carcinoma (i.e. a 
negative repeat biopsy) as determined by targeted and systematic biopsies following 
90-days of apalutamide. Secondary endpoints will include: exit from active surveillance 
due to pathologic progression or otherwise at 2 years, receipt of local treatment for 
prostate cancer at 2 years, local treatment free survival, PSA progression at 2 years, 
PSA PFS as defined by Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria, 
radiographic disappearance of MRI detectable nodules following treatment, quality of 
life changes and safety (as assessed by the revised National Cancer Institute Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE], version 4.03).1  
Biopsy specimens, blood and plasma samples will be stored at -80°C. These 
specimens will be labeled with a subjects unique study ID, and will not have personal 
identifiers imprinted on them. Samples (i.e., prostate tissue, blood, and plasma) will be 
obtained pre- and post-treatment with apalutamide. These biologic specimens will be 
used for additional correlative work. Examples of studies to be conducted may include, 
but are not limited to: assessment for PTEN loss via immunohistochemistry (IHC), 
assessment for alteration in MYC/chromosome 8q24 via FISH and tumor mRNA 
expression profiling/risk classification (e.g., Decipher [GenomeDX Biosciences, San 
Diego, CA], Oncotype DX Prostate Cancer Assay [Genomic Health, Inc., Redwood City, 
CA], or RNA-seq).2-6  
Subject enrollment requires a baseline systematic 12 core biopsy with pathologically 
documented prostate cancer and with the coordinates of the biopsy sites stored for 
repeat biopsy. Subjects can include men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer or those 
already enrolled in active surveillance, but baseline prostate biopsy must have occurred 
within 12-months of enrolling onto this study. Subjects may have had a multiparametric 
MRI of the prostate performed at least 6 months from any prior prostate biopsy. If an 
MRI detectable cancer of PIRADS 3 or more and >5mm was pathologically 
documented by MRI/TRUS fusion biopsy with coordinates of biopsy site stored, this 
lesion will be targeted for repeat biopsy. Otherwise, coordinates should be stored using 
a standard sextant prostate biopsy diagram (Appendix A) to aid in targeted repeat 
biopsy. Ninety days after treatment with apalutamide, all subjects will undergo 1) 
selective biopsy targeting cancer positive sites based on stored coordinates (3 biopsy 
cores per positive site); and 2) a 12 core non targeted systematic biopsy. PSA will be

5. Treatment Assessment and Evaluation 
All required treatment and end of study procedures and assessments must be done within 7 
days (+1-) of the specified study visit date unless otherwise noted. With the exception of the 
surveillance prostate biopsy, screening study procedures and assessments must be done 
within 30 days prior to enrollment. Long term follow-up procedures and assessments should 
occur two years following day 1 (+1- 30 days). After two years of follow-up, the medical 
records for study subjects will be requested and reviewed yearly through year 5 (+I- 90 
days) in order to obtain additional follow up data. 
Note: If a subject withdraws from the study prior to completing the 90-days of study drug, the 
"End of Study" procedures will be completed at the time of withdrawal. "Long Term Follow-
up" procedures will occur at the specified time regardless of whether the patient received 
90-days of study drug.

7. Study Assessments 
7.1. Prostate Biopsy 
Systematic 12-core prostate biopsies will be performed using transrectal ultrasound 
(TRUS) guidance and be performed per the treating physician's discretion. Prostate 
biopsies will be interpreted through the pathology department at University of 
Washington. Gleason score, number of involved cores and percent core involvement 
will all be captured. Coordinates of the biopsy sites must be stored. These coordinates 
may be stored on either a standard sextant prostate biopsy diagram (Appendix A) or 
within the MRI/TRUS fusion software. Repeat systematic 12-core prostate biopsies will 
be performed following treatment with apalutamide. In addition, site directed biopsies 
will be performed targeting areas of known cancer using the saved coordinates from the 
screening biopsy. Site directed biopsy may be performed using either: a) TRUS 
guidance, or b) MRI/TRUS fusion guidance. MRITTRUS fusion guided biopsy will only 
occur if an MRI detectable cancer of PIRADS .3 and >5mm was pathologically 
documented at the time of screening biopsy. Note: patients are not required to have 
baseline MRI/TRUS fusion guided biopsies in order to enroll. A patient will be defined 
as having a negative biopsy if no cancer is found on systematic 12-core and site 
directed prostate biopsy as described above. The biopsy (12-core plus site directed) 
that occurs immediately following 90-days of apalutamide will be used for determining 
the primary endpoint. 
Repeat minimum 12-core TRUS guided prostate biopsy will be performed 
approximately every year following day 1 of treatment with apalutamide per standard 
active surveillance guidelines. These biopsies will be used to determine if there has 
been pathologic progression. Pathologic progression will be defined as: 1) increase in 
Gleason score, 2) increase in number of involved cores or 3) increase in maximum 
percentage of any given core's involvement. Only pathologic progression (i.e. not PSA 
progression) will trigger removal from active surveillance and recommendation for local 
prostate cancer treatment. 
7.2. Prostatic MRI 
While not required for study enrollment, we anticipate some patients will have had a 
baseline MRI and/or MRI/TRUS fusion guided biopsy prior to enrolling on active

surveillance. In addition, select patients will undergo MRI/TRUS fusion guided site 
directed biopsies following treatment with apalutamide (see Section 7.1: Prostate 
Biopsy). In these individuals, the following MRI imaging parameters should be used 
whenever possible. 
MR Imaging techniques: Prostate MR imaging will be performed on a 3.0 Tesla magnet 
(Trio, Siemens Medical Solutions or Ingenia, Philips Healthcare) using a body torso coil. 
The patient will be imaged in supine position. MRI will be performed at least 8 weeks after 
biopsy, to minimize the influence of post-biopsy hemorrhage. Patients will receive 1 mg 
Glucagon IM injection to suppress bowel peristalsis. Imaging will consists of thin-section 
high-resolution axial, coronal and sagittal T2-weighted fast spin-echo images of the 
prostate and seminal vesicles (TRITE = 3500/101 msec, slice thickness 3 mm, interslice 
gap 0-1mm, FOV 20-28 cm), 3D isotropic T2 weighted image acquisition (TRITE = 
1600/115, slice/space 1/0 mm, FOV 35 cm), diffusion-weighted imaging (2D multislice 
single-shot echo-planar imaging, TRITE = 3300/76 msec, b values 50, 500, 800, 1000 
section thickness = 3 mm, FOV 20-28 cm), and DCE-MRI imaging sequences, consisting 
of a precontrast T1 mapping sequences using 3D VIBE (Simens) or 3D THRIVE (Philips) 
(TRITE 3.8/1.4, slice/space 3.6/0, FOV 26 cm) with the option to obtain 4 identical 
measurement parameters except different flip angles (i.e. 2, 5, 8, 15°) and NEX=4. 
Subsequent dynamic imaging will utilize intravenous power injection (Medrad) of a single-
dose (0.1 mmol/kg) of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA, Magneviste) at an 
injection rate 3 mUsecond, followed by a 20-mL flush of normal saline. Axial DCE images 
of the entire prostate gland will be acquired using the TWIST T1 3D GR sequence at high 
temporal resolution of 4.2 sec (TRITE 3.8/1.4 msec, flip angle 12, matrix 160x160, FOV 
20-28 cm, NEX=1). At total of 70-post contrast phases will be acquired over 5 minutes. 
The total imaging time is 45 minutes. 
Definitions for localizing prostate carcinoma: a) focal area of discrete measurable low 
signal intensity on T2-weighted images (longest diameter 0.5 cm); b) apparent diffusion 
coefficient (ADC) reduction on DWI in reference to normal glandular tissue; d) perfusion 
abnormality on DCE-MRI in reference to normal glandular tissue. Tumors are detected 
using a combination of the T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images. More than one 
tumor is considered to be present if the tumor noncontiguously involves the left and the 
right gland, or noncontiguously involves the same ipsilateral side (with two or more 
noncontiguous slices of "normal appearing" prostate between tumor foci). For the follow-

up post-treatment studies, the baseline pretreatment MR images will be used as a 
reference to identify tumor regions. 
DCE MRI Analysis: Areas suspicious for presence of tumor will be outlined by a 
radiologist as a region of interest (ROI) on the dynamic images using the T2-weighted 
and DWI images for guidance. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the DCE MRI images will be 
carried out using syngo Tissue 4D software from Siemens or DynaCAD software from 
lnvivo. The following parameters will be recorded: the volume transfer constant (Ks), 
the rate constant (kep), and the fractional leakage space (ve). 
DWI Analysis: Generated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps will be used to 
assess areas of low signal intensity reflecting restricted diffusion. Using the T2-weighted 
images and high b-value DWI images for guidance, the mean ADCs will be calculated for 
each defined ROI for each separate focus of prostate cancer. 
MRI investigational biomarkers that will be assessed at baseline and on a post-
treatment mMRI: DCE-MRI: '<trans (mini), kep (min-1), tie ( %); 
%' ); DWI: ADC (x10-3 mm2/s) 
7.3. Exploratory biomarkers 
This study will incorporate a number of exploratory biomarkers. Given our rapidly 
evolving understanding of prostate cancer pathobiology, genetics and epigenetics, it is 
impossible to prospectively define all the relevant biomarkers for the patient population 
enrolled on this study. So as to not miss an opportunity to assess the utility of yet to be 
described biomarkers in the context of this active surveillance medical intervention trial, 
we will plan to store biopsy specimens, plasma and blood samples at -80°C. All 
samples (i.e., prostate tissue, blood and plasma) will be obtained pre- and post-
treatment with apalutamide. Specific biomarkers of interest have been described in 
section 1.4 of the protocol. Admittedly, given that we may not be able to obtain 
adequate tissue to assess all of these biomarkers, we will prioritize assessing them in 
the order that they are described below. All biopsy material will be Forrnalin-Fixed 
Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) and IHC and FISH assays will be performed on these FFPE 
samples. Please refer to the laboratory manual for more detail. 
PTEN: Loss of genomic PTEN will be determined using FISH. FISH assays will be 
conducted using the PTEN-del-TECTTm Four Color Panel FISH Probe (Cymene DX)

according to the manufacturer's directions. A total of 30 cells from each sample will be 
evaluated and a tumor will be considered to have PTEN loss if the percentage of cells 
showing 0 or 1 PTEN probe signal is greater than 2 standard deviations (SD) above the 
mean established from normal tissue and the PTEN probe/centromere 10 probe ratio is 
more than 2 SD below the mean established in normal tissue. PTEN protein expression 
will be determined via IHC using a rabbit monoclonal anti-PTEN antibody (clone D4.3, 
#9188, Cell Signaling Technologies). PTEN IHC and FISH assays will be conducted 
similar to the methods previously described by Lotan and colleagues.74  
MYC: Alterations in chromosome 8q24, the region that encompasses the MYC locus, 
will be assessed via FISH. FISH hybridization will be done with the multicolor probes 
(ProVysion, Vysis, Inc., Downers Grove, IL) to detect and quantify chromosome 8 
centromere probe [chromosome enumeration probe 8 (CEP8)] and with two locus-
specific probes, the lipoprotein lipase (LPL; 8p21.3) and the c-MYC8q24 probe. 
MYC/chromosome 8q24 FISH assays will be conducted similar to the methods 
previously described by Jenkins and colleagues.82  
ERG: Given that ERG protein expression has been shown to be an excellent surrogate 
of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion status, we will plan to assess ERG expression using IHC.88-99  
ERG IHC will be done using an anti-ERG mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 9FY; 
Biocare, Concord, CA). ERG IHC assays will be conducted similar to the methods 
described by Chaux and colleagues.99  
KI-67: Ki67 will be assessed via IHC using an anti-Ki67 mouse monoclonal (clone 
7B11; Zymed Laboratories, South San Francisco, Calif). The mouse PowerVisionp kit 
(Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, III) will be used for these assays. Ki67 IHC assays 
will be conducted using standard lab practices and in accordance with the mouse 
PowerVisionID kit instructions. 
AR-axis liquid biopsy assay: Expression of a panel of RNA markers will be evaluated 
from whole blood collected in PAXgene RNA tubes. Extracted RNA will come from 
blood cells as well as circulating tumor cells. RNA extraction and transcriptional profiling 
will be conducted similar to the methods described by Ross and colleagues.91  
Prostate Cancer Genomic Classifier: FFPE Prostate tissue samples will be obtained 
pre- and post-treatment with apalutamide and shipped to a commercial genomic testing

Safety will be evaluated based on the incidence, severity, duration, causality, 
seriousness, and type of adverse events (AEs), and changes in the patient's physical 
examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratory results. Investigators will use the NCI 
CTC version 4.03 (published 14 June 2010) to assess the severity of AEs and toxicities 
(see Appendix B). For safety considerations specific to apalutamide see section 8.1 of

9. Data Monitoring and Adverse Event Reporting Requirements 
Institutional support of trial monitoring at the University of Washington/Seattle Cancer Care 
Alliance study site will be in accordance with the FHCRC/University of Washington Cancer 
Consortium Institutional Data and Safety Monitoring Plan. Under the provisions of this plan, 
FHCRC Clinical Research Support coordinates data and compliance monitoring conducted 
by consultants, contract research organizations, or FHCRC employees unaffiliated with the 
conduct of the study. Independent monitoring visits occur at specified intervals determined 
by the assessed risk level of the study and the findings of previous visits per the institutional 
DSMP. 
In addition, protocols are reviewed at least annually and as needed by the Consortium Data 
and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC), FHCRC Scientific Review Committee (SRC) and 
the FHCRC/University of Washington Cancer Consortium Institutional Review Board (IRB). 
The review committees evaluate accrual, adverse events, stopping rules, and adherence to 
the applicable data and safety monitoring plan for studies actively enrolling or treating 
patients. The IRB reviews the study progress and safety information to assess continued 
acceptability of the risk-benefit ratio for human subjects. Approval of committees as 
applicable is necessary to continue the study. 
The trial will comply with the standard guidelines set forth by these regulatory committees 
and other institutional, state and federal guidelines. 
Additionally, scheduled meetings will take place weekly and will include the protocol 
Principal Investigator (PI) (Michael Schweizer, MD), and when appropriate, the 
collaborators, sub-investigators, and biostatistician involved with the conduct of the protocol. 
During these meetings the investigators will discuss matters related to: safety of protocol 
participants, validity and integrity of the data, enrollment rate relative to expectation, 
characteristics of participants, retention of participants, adherence to protocol (potential or 
real protocol violations), data completeness, and progress of data for secondary objectives. 
External monitoring of participating sites will occur at least once per year, depending on the 
rate of accrual at these sites.

9.1. Management of Safety Data 
This study has been designated as an interventional study. As such, all adverse events 
regardless of causality and special situations excluding those from subiects not 
exposed to apalutamide and product quality complaints with or without an adverse 
event as described in this clinical protocol will be reported from the time a subject has 
signed and dated an Informed Consent Form (ICE) until completion of the subject's last 
study-related procedure (which may include contact for follow-up safety). Serious 
adverse events will be reported for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

9.6. Evaluating Adverse Events 
The grade and severity of the event will be determined using the NCI Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, CTCAE version 4.03. A copy of the CTCAE 
version 4.03 can be downloaded from the CTEP home page (http://ctep.cancergov). All 
appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 4.03. 
Adverse events must be defined using CTCAE criteria. Adverse events not included in 
the CTCAE version 4.03 should be reported and graded under the "Other" adverse 
event within the appropriate category and grade 1 to 5 according to the general grade 
definitions, mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, fatal, as provided in the CTCAE 
version 4.03. 
9.6.1. Determining if the event is expected or unexpected 
The determination of whether an AE is expected is based on agent-specific adverse 
event information provided in Section 7and 8 Pharmaceutical Information. Unexpected 
AEs are those not listed in the agent-specific adverse event information provided in 
Section 7and 8 Pharmaceutical Information. 
9.6.2. Relationship to the medical treatment or procedure 
The Investigator should document his/her opinion of the relationship of the event to 
study medication as follows: 
• 
Unrelated- The adverse event is clearly not related to the investigational 
agent(s). 
• 
Unlikely- The adverse event is doubtfully related to the investigational 
agent(s). 
• 
Possible-The adverse event may be related to the investigational agent(s).

Apalutamide in Active Surveillance patients  Protocol Version: 6.0; September 06, 2019 
• 
Probable-The adverse event is most likely related to the investigational 
agent(s). 
• 
Definite- The adverse event is clearly related to the investigational agent(s). 
Based on this information, a decision will be made whether an adverse event should be 
reported as an expedited report (Serious Adverse Event, section 3.0) in addition to the 
routinely reported clinical data. Expedited adverse event reports that meet Institutional 
reporting criteria should be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in 
accordance with policies of the coordinating center's IRB and local IRB where 
applicable (for the participating sites), and to the FDA in accordance with regulations 
under 21 CFR 312.32. Additionally, all SAEs should be submitted to Janssen Scientific 
Affairs, LLC within 24 hours of becoming aware of event and via secure e-mail. 
9.6.3. Documenting Adverse Events 
Each individual sign or symptom must be documented separately. Worksheets 
must be signed and dated by person conducting evaluation to be used as source 
documentation. The attribution of all adverse events must be verified by an 
investigator. Evaluation of laboratory toxicities may be documented directly on a 
printed laboratory report or CRF provided it is signed by the investigator. 
However, if an action was conducted due to this abnormality (e.g., RBC 
transfusion due to low Hgb) this would be recorded on the AE form also. 
Recording should be done in a concise manner using standard, acceptable 
medical terms. 
The adverse event recorded should not be a procedure or a clinical 
measurement (i.e., a laboratory value or vital sign) but should reflect the reason 
for the procedure or the diagnosis based on the abnormal measurement. 
Preexisting conditions that worsen in severity or frequency during the Study 
should also be recorded (a preexisting condition that does not worsen is not an 
adverse event). 
Further, a procedure or surgery is not an adverse event; rather, the event leading 
to the procedure or surgery is considered an adverse event. Any event requiring

in-patient hospitalization that occurs during the course of a subject's participation 
in a trial must be reported as an SAE. Hospitalizations that do not meet the 
criteria for SAE reporting are: 
A. Reasons described in the Protocol, e.g. drug administration, Protocol-
required testing 
B. Surgery or procedure planned prior to entry into the Study. 
If, in the Sponsor Investigator's judgment, a clinically significant worsening from 
baseline is observed in any laboratory or other test parameter (e.g., 
electrocardiogram [ECG], angiogram), physical exam finding, or vital sign, a 
corresponding clinical adverse event should be recorded. 
If a specific medical diagnosis has been made, that diagnosis or syndrome 
should be recorded as the adverse event, whenever possible. However, a 
complete description of the signs, symptoms and investigations which led to the 
diagnosis should be provided. For example, if clinically significant elevations of 
liver function tests are known to be secondary to hepatitis, "hepatitis" and not 
"elevated liver function tests" should be recorded. If the cause is not known, the 
abnormal test or finding should be recorded as an adverse event, using 
appropriate medical terminology (e.g., thrombocytopenia, peripheral edema, QT 
prolongation). 
9.6.4. Maintenance of Safety Information 
All safety data should be maintained in a research database in a retrievable 
format. The Principal Investigator shall provide all adverse events, both serious 
and non-serious, in report format. However, in certain circumstances more 
frequent provision of safety data may be necessary (e.g., to fulfill a regulatory 
request, and as such the data shall be made available within a reasonable 
timeframe at Janssen Scientific Affairs' request).

9.8. Protocol Amendments 
Any changes to the study protocol will be made in the form of an amendment and must 
be approved by the IRB before implementation. These changes may only be made by 
the Sponsor-Investigator (Dr. Michael Schweizer). Changes to the protocol or informed 
consent form will be reviewed and approved by Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC prior to 
submitting to the IRB for approval. 
9.9. Informed consent 
Written informed consent will be obtained by a study investigator, or delegated Sub-
Investigator working on this study. An explanation of the nature of study, its purpose, 
procedures involved, expected duration, potential known risks and benefits will be 
provided to each participant by the investigator or the delegated Sub-Investigator. Each 
participant will be informed that participation in the study is voluntary and that they may 
withdraw from the study at any time, and that withdrawal of consent will not affect their 
subsequent medical treatment. Participants will be allowed time needed to make an 
informed decision. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about the study and 
the consent before signing the consent form. Original signed consent forms will be filed 
in each patient's research chart, while each patient will receive a copy of the consent 
document. No patient will enter the study before the informed consent has been 
obtained. 
The Research Coordinator and the Regulatory Coordinator at the coordinating center 
will be made aware of new participants via email. The Sponsor-Investigator will be 
responsible for reviewing the informed consent forms from participating sites and 
verifying eligibility. Once it has been confirmed that a new candidate has provided 
consent and is eligible to participate in the study, the coordinating center will register the 
patient and provided him with a unique study identification number. New participants' 
study checklist and informed consent form should be emailed to:

10. Statistical Methods 
This is an open label, multi-site study to evaluate apalutamide in men with very low-risk 
to low-intermediate risk prostate cancer (see 'risk' definitions under Inclusion Criteria) 
enrolled on active surveillance. The primary endpoint for this trial will be the absence of 
residual carcinoma (i.e., a negative repeat biopsy) as determined by targeted and 
systematic biopsies following 90-days of apalutamide. The primary objective will be to 
determine the negative repeat biopsy rate following 90-days of apalutamide for all men 
enrolled. The negative repeat biopsy rate will be continuously assessed throughout the 
study. Apalutamide will be dosed at the current recommended Phase II dose of 240 mg daily 
by mouth. 
 
10.1.  Study Design and Sample Size 
We will use a Simon minimax 2-stage design, which will allow early stopping for 
futility after the first stage if the response rate is low. We expect that in the absence of 
treatment, approximately 20% of patients will have a negative repeat biopsy.53 We also 
assume that a40% of treated patients must achieve a negative repeat biopsy to warrant 
further investigation of this treatment approach in active surveillance patients. Thus, 
our null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: p520% vs. H1: 1:, 40°/0. The minimax 2-stage 
design for these parameters requires a first stage enrolling 18 patients. If 54 of 18 have 
a negative repeat biopsy the trial is stopped and Ho cannot be rejected. If >4 of 18 
patients respond, enrollment in that cohort continues until 33 patients have completed 
the trial, and the response rate is calculated for all 33 patients. If 510 of 33 patients 
have a negative repeat biopsy the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. This design will 
provide 80% power to detect a response rate of 40% (one-sided a=0.05). This design 
also provides a 72% probability of early stopping if Ho is true, affording protection 
against treating more patients than necessary if the treatment is not effective.92  
 
10.2.  Data Analysis 
The primary objective is to determine the negative repeat biopsy rate following 
treatment with apalutamide in men enrolled in active surveillance. This rate will be 
presented as the percent of subjects with a negative repeat biopsy, and will be 
calculated as: (Number of patients with a negative biopsy following 90-days of 
apalutamide) I (Total number of patients enrolled on the study) x 100. For details on the

definition of what constitutes a negative biopsy, refer to section 7.1: Prostate Biopsy. 
Subjects who drop out of the study due to disease progression, death, or limiting toxicity 
or individual choice will be considered as failures in estimating the negative repeat 
biopsy rate. Similarly, patients not undergoing repeat biopsy (for any reason) after 
treatment with apalutamide will be considered as failures in estimating the negative 
repeat biopsy rate. Patients who have not received at least one dose of apalutamide 
will be replaced and not considered in determining the negative repeat biopsy rate. We 
will use a 1-sample chi-square test to compare the proportion with a negative repeat 
biopsy to the null hypothesis value of 20% (above). The 95% confidence interval (Cl) of 
the primary endpoint estimate will be computed. 
Secondary endpoints will include: exit from active surveillance due to pathologic 
progression or otherwise at 2 years, the receipt of local treatment for prostate cancer at 
2 years, local treatment free survival, PSA progression free survival (PFS) at 2 years, 
radiographic disappearance of MRI detectable prostate cancer following treatment (only 
in patients with baseline MRI), quality of life, safety and changes in exploratory 
biomarkers (see protocol section 1.4) pre- and post-treatment. 
For both cohorts, the exit rate (all cause and due to pathologic progression), 
percent of men undergoing local treatment and PSA progression rate will be computed 
along with its 95% Cl at the two year time point (i.e. Day 730 visit). The local treatment 
free survival and PSA PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods and 95% Cl 
will be estimated using Greenwood's formula.93 PSA PFS will be censored at the time of 
local therapy. PSA progression will be defined by the PCWG2 criteria (i.e. confirmed 
rising PSA  ng/mL at least one week apart). 
We will characterize toxicity as percentage by type and grade. Changes in quality 
of life (as assessed by the FACT-P and SF-36 instrument scores) and changes in 
exploratory biomarkers pre- and post-treatment will be assessed using paired t-test or 
signed-rank test for continuous variables, or McNemar chi-square tests for categorical 
variables. Baseline exploratory biomarker levels/values and change in exploratory 
biomarkers pre-/post-treatment will be correlated with the primary endpoint using chi-
square tests and logistic regression, and with secondary endpoints using proportional 
hazards models, Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank tests.

Request the on-call Oncology Fellow 
Your doctors are inviting you to participate in a research study. The purpose of this 
research is to determine if apalutamide has an effect on prostate cancer in men enrolled 
on active surveillance. 
If you agree to join the study, you will be required to take apalutamide once daily for 90 
days. Following this 90-day period, you will undergo a prostate biopsy. 
We do not know if treating you with apalutamide will change the course of your disease. 
Apalutamide could cause side effects. 
You do not have to join this study. You could choose to receive standard methods to treat 
prostate cancer. We will give you details about the purposes, procedures, risks and 
possible benefits related to this study. We will explain other choices that you have. We 
will also give you any other information that you need in order to make an informed 
decision about joining this study. 
Following is a more complete description of this study. Please read this description 
carefully. Afterwards, you can ask questions that will help you decide whether to join the 
study. If you join this study, we would give you a signed copy of this form to keep for 
future reference. 
We invite you to join this research study. 
We invite you to join this research study because you have prostate cancer and are 
currently enrolled on active surveillance. Up to 33 people will join this study at 
University of Washington and Johns Hopkins. This study will last for about 5 years.

Research is not the same as treatment or medical care. The purpose of a research study is 
to answer scientific questions. 
You do not have to be in the study. You are free to say "yes" or "no", or to drop out after 
joining. If you say "no," you would have no penalty or loss of benefits. Whatever you 
decide, your regular medical care would not change. 
Why are we doing this study? 
This research is being done to test whether a short course (90 days) of apalutamide will 
have an effect on prostate cancer in men enrolled on active surveillance. We think that 
this drug will be able to eliminate all evidence of prostate cancer, and that no detectable 
cancer will be left on repeat biopsy following the treatment. In theory, this could increase 
the chances that a man on active surveillance will be able to avoid having their prostate 
removed surgically (a prostatectomy) or require prostate radiation therapy. 
We also hope to learn if there are ways we can predict which active surveillance patients 
will respond best to apalutamide and who may be at the highest risk of disease 
progression on active surveillance. To accomplish this goal, we will be collecting 
biospecimens, which include: blood, and tumor tissue. If you elect to join this study you 
must also agree to provide these biospecimens. This work will be exploratory in nature 
and these biospecimens will be stored for future use. This type of research is known as 
"biomarker research". 
Eligible men must have prostate cancer that is no more than low-intermediate risk and 
have opted to enroll in active surveillance. Patients must not be receiving active treatment 
for their prostate cancer. 
Apalutamide is a prostate cancer drug that works by blocking testosterone. This trial is 
based on prior clinical work showing that apalutamide has an anti-prostate cancer effect. 
Apalutamide is FDA approved only for the treatment of prostate cancer that has not 
spread (non-metastatic), but that continues to grow despite treatment with hormone 
therapy (castration-resistant). Treatment with apalutamide is still considered 
investigational in this trial setting, as it has not been FDA approved for use in patients 
enrolled in active surveillance. 
In this study, we want to learn what effects, good or bad, apalutamide has on people with 
prostate cancer. If you join this study, we would give you apalutamide and watch 
carefully for any side effects. 
What research tests, procedures, and treatments are done in this study? 
If you join this study, we would do these tests and procedures:

If you agree to take part in the study, your study doctor will have up to 30 days to 
complete screening tests to see if you qualify for the study. Your study doctor will be 
collecting specific information regarding your previous and current treatments you 
may have had. That information will be used, along with other information about 
your cancer and general health, to determine whether you are eligible. The following 
tests will be done at the beginning of the study, during the screening period. Your 
doctor can give you more details about these tests. 
• A complete medical history will be collected including information on your 
general health, past surgeries, if you suffer from pain or other problems, and if 
you are taking any other medications or have recently been on any other 
research studies. You should not have taken another trial product in the 30 
days before you begin this study. You will be asked to give as complete and 
accurate answers as you can. Giving false, incomplete, or misleading 
information could put your health at risk. 
• A physical assessment including vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate and 
temperature), height, and weight, EKG and assessment of your ability to 
perform activities of daily living will be completed by either your doctor or a 
research nurse. Confirm you have had a prostate biopsy (ultrasound guided or 
MRI guided) no more than 12 months prior to this screening visit, and that 
you qualify for active surveillance. 
• Routine blood samples will be drawn (about 2-3 teaspoons) for laboratory 
tests which measure your blood chemistry, including kidney and liver 
function, Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), testosterone, PSA and 
hematology. 
Screening tests may require more than 1 visit to the clinic. Your study doctor will 
review the test results and tell you whether or not you qualify to be in the study and 
that it is reasonably safe for you to join. These tests are also used to make sure things 
do not change too much while you are in the study. 
Study Drug Administration Period 
If you are enrolled into the study, you will start the study medication (apalutamide). 
You will take four 60 mg tablets (240 mg per day) of apalutamide by mouth once 
daily for a total of 90 days. It is important to stay on this schedule. A 30-day supply 
will be provided at the beginning of each month of the trial. As the study allows for a 
study visit window of +/- 7 days the study may dispense up to 7 additional days of 
study medication to compensate for this window if needed. You will be given a diary 
to record your study drug dosing. Study staff will instruct you on how to fill out your 
diary. 
Certain drugs may interact with apalutamide. You need to tell your study doctor of 
all medications and supplements (e.g., herbs, vitamins) you take. 
The apalutamide must be taken only by you. It must also be kept out of the reach of 
children or persons of limited capacity to understand.

Apalutamide must be stored at room temperature at all times (between 15°C to 30°C, 
or 59°F to 86°F) with the cap on tightly and desiccant in the bottle. While you are 
taking the study medications, please do not take: St. John's Wort, drink grapefruit 
juice or eat grapefruit. If you miss a dose of study drug, do not try to make it up. It 
should be omitted. 
You will be evaluated for side effects and asked about all medications you are taking 
throughout the study. Below are time points and the tests and procedures that will be 
done during these time points. The study doctor may perform more tests and 
procedures if they feel it is necessary to monitor your safety and evaluate your cancer.

PSA, biopsy results and to determine if any local treatment has been received 
(e.g. radiation, surgery). 
MRI Exam Information:  
As part of your participation in this research study, you may have an MRI exam. An 
MRI will only be done if you had an MRI guided biopsy prior to enrolling on the 
study. The MRI exam will take approximately 30 minutes. Prior to your exam, you 
will be asked to complete a standard questionnaire. The purpose of this questionnaire 
is to ensure that you are able to safely enter the MRI area. If you have a history of 
metal in your head or eyes, you will need an x-ray examination of your skull in order 
to find out if the MRI exam is safe for you. 
To start your MRI test, you will lie on a padded table. A soft padded coil will be 
placed at the area where the pictures will be taken. The coil is necessary to help the 
MRI machine take pictures. The table on which you are lying will be moved to the 
center of an MRI magnet, which looks like a long narrow tube. Even though the tube 
is open, some people feel confined in small places. If this bothers you, please notify 
the MRI staff. You may end your participation in this study at any time by telling the 
MRI staff. When MRI pictures are taken radio-signals and magnetic fields are 
used. When this happens, it is normal for the MRI machine to make loud, banging, 
and clicking noises. You will be asked to wear earplugs or headphones for your 
comfort during the exam. 
During the exam, the MRI staff is able to see and hear you. You will be able to hear 
the MRI staff. The MRI staff will be talking to you throughout your MRI exam and 
may issue simple instructions regarding holding your breath, maintaining position, 
etc. You will generally be requested to lie perfectly still throughout the exam. 
At some point during your MRI exam the MRI staff will interrupt the scanning 
procedure in order to give a contrast agent. The agent is given through a needle 
placed (an IV) in your arm. The IV will be placed using standard hospital techniques. 
What you will need to do:  
All changes in the state of your health during the study must be reported to your 
doctor or a member of the study team, whether or not you think that the changes are 
related to the study. During the whole study, you will be monitored for new 
symptoms, new diseases, side effects, and use of other medications, and you will be 
asked to follow the appointment schedule. 
While you are taking part in the study, you are not allowed to use any medication that 
interferes with the evaluation of the study drug, including any other investigational 
new drug or device. You will also be asked to maintain the current doses and 
schedule of medications you are currently taking. 
Sometimes during a research study, new information that may affect a participant's 
health, welfare, or willingness to stay in this study may become known. If this

happens, your doctor will tell you about it, and will discuss with you if you want to 
stay in the study. If you decide not to stay in the study, your doctor will make 
arrangements for your care to continue and for you to receive appropriate treatment, 
including study follow up procedures. 
Also, on receiving new information your doctor might consider it to be in your best 
interest to withdraw you from the study. He/she will explain the reasons for this and 
will arrange for your care to continue. 
How long would you stay in this study? 
If you join this study, you would stay in this study about 2 years. After the first two 
years of follow-up, we will continue to review your medical records for an additional 
3 years (up until year 5) to gather additional information about your clinical course. 
You would receive apalutamide for 90 days. After that, you would have follow-up 
exams in the office or clinic twice: once immediately after this 90 day period and 
again 21 months later. 
Doctors could take you out of this study at any time. This would happen if: 
• They think it is in your best interest not to continue in the study. 
• You not able or willing to follow study procedures. 
• The whole study is stopped. 
If you stop taking apalutamide early (that is, less than 90 days), we would still plan to 
complete the study items listed under the "End of Study" and "Long-term Follow-up" 
sections (Pages 5-7). If you withdraw from the study for any reason, previously 
collected information would remain in the study records and would be included in the 
analysis of results. This information could not be removed from the study records. 
What are the side effects (risks)? 
In this part of the consent form, we describe the side effects we expect from the tests 
and treatments in this study. Apalutamide could cause side effects we do not know 
about yet. We carefully watch everyone in the study for side effects. 
If you join this study, we would tell you if we discover new side effects that could 
affect you. 
Side effects may be mild or very serious. Medicines could be given to help lessen side 
effects. Many side effects go away soon after you stop taking apalutamide. In some 
cases, side effects can last a long time or never go away. There also is a risk of death. 
Risks of Apalutamide 
Doctors don't yet know all of the side effects that could happen when taking 
apalutamide. You will be watched carefully during this study for any side effects. 
Page 10 of 19

IRB Approved 
Consent Release Date: 05/30/2019
Printed on 9/13/2019


Though most side effects are not serious, some may be serious and may require 
treatment or additional testing. This section describes common side effects from 
apalutamide. 
There may be risks with apalutamide that are not yet known. You will be monitored 
carefully for side effects. During the study, the sponsor or study doctor may learn 
new facts about apalutamide. Your study doctor will inform you of any important 
new information about apalutamide. It is possible that this new information might 
make you change your mind about being in the study. Side effects may be mild, 
moderate, serious or even life-threatening. If you experience any side effects, your 
doctor may give you medicines to help lessen the side effects. Some side effects may 
go away soon after you stop taking the study medicine. Other side effects can be 
serious or long lasting. 
If you experience a side effect, your doctor may temporarily hold the study drug or 
change the dose of the study drug to help manage the side effect. If severe side effects 
develop, you and your doctor may decide that it is in your best interest to stop taking 
the study drug. In addition, you will be provided with the telephone numbers for 
people who can answer any questions about the study, your rights as a study 
participant and for you to report any side effects. 
Risks and side effects that are related to a alutamide include: 
Very Common (>10%) 
Common (1 - <10%) 
Uncommon (< 1%) 
Fatigue 
Itching 
Seizure 
Skin rash 
Changes in thyroid function 
(Hypothyroidism) 
Joint pain (Arthralgia) or 
muscle spasms 
Increase in cholesterol 
Weight loss 
Increase in triglycerides 
Fall 
Change in experience of taste 
(Dysgeusia) 
Fracture 
Reduced or blocked blood 
flow to the heart, including 
heart attack (Ischemic Heart 
Disease, including Myocardial 
Infarction) 
Increased blood pressure 
(Hypertension) 
Hot flush 
Diarrhea 
Seizures have been observed very rarely in patients taking part in apalutamide studies. 
Your doctor will confirm that you have no history of seizures and will check throughout 
the study that you are not taking other medications that can increase your risk of 
seizures. Please inform your doctor of all medications you are taking and any changes 
in medications. If you think you might have had a seizure, or convulsion, or have lost 
consciousness (passed out), let your doctor know right away.

More than 1 in 10 patients have developed a rash. Some rashes may need medical 
attention. The rash may be confined to one area of your body or may spread across 
your body. Contact your doctor at the first sign of rash or any symptoms of rash (like 
itching) during the study. Rashes that are painful, blisters on or near the lips, eyes or 
genitals may need immediate evaluation by your doctor. You may be given medicines 
to apply to your skin or take by mouth to help the signs and symptoms of rash. Also 
the study medication may be temporarily held. 
Risks of MRI with contrast 
MRI does not use ionizing radiation (high-energy radiation that can potentially cause 
damage to DNA, like the x-rays used CT scans). 
There are no known harmful side-effects associated with temporary exposure to the 
strong magnetic field used by MRI scanners. However, there are important safety 
concerns to consider before performing or undergoing an MRI scan: 
• The magnet may cause pacemakers, artificial limbs, and other implanted medical 
devices that contain metal to malfunction or heat up during the exam. 
• Any loose metal object may cause damage or injury if it gets pulled toward the 
magnet. 
• If a contrast agent is used, there is a slight risk of an allergic reaction. MRI 
contrast agents can cause problems in patients with decreased levels of kidney 
function. 
• Dyes from tattoos or tattooed eyeliner can cause skin or eye irritation. 
• Medication patches can cause a skin burn. 
• The wire leads used to monitor an electrocardiogram (ECG) trace or respiration 
during a scan must be placed carefully to avoid causing a skin burn. 
• Prolonged exposure to radio waves during the scan could lead to slight warming 
of the body. 
Risks of Blood Draw 
You may feel some discomfort when the needle is placed in your vein to draw blood 
for testing. Sometimes a bruise may develop where the blood was drawn or the needle 
was placed, and occasionally infection or bleeding may develop at the puncture site. 
Light-headedness and/or fainting may occur during blood collection. 
Reproductive risks 
The effect of the study drug on your semen is unknown. To avoid risk of drug 
exposure to your partner through the semen (even in men with vasectomies (tubes

that carry semen from the testicles have been cut), patients must use a condom during 
sexual activity while on study drug and for 3 months following the last dose of study 
drug. 
Apalutamide may cause harm to the unborn child From when you start taking the 
study drug until 3 months after your last dose of study drug, you must use a condom 
and another effective method of birth control when you have sex with a woman of 
child-bearing potential. The type of birth control you use must be discussed with, and 
approved by, the study doctor before you begin the study. This is done to prevent 
pregnancy. If your partner becomes pregnant in the time between when you start 
taking the study drug until 3 months after your last dose of drug, you must tell the 
study doctor immediately. 
Donation of sperm is not allowed during the study and for 3 months following the last 
dose of study drug. 
You should advise your study doctor if you father a child while participating in the 
research project. The doctor will advise you on any appropriate medical attention for 
your partner should this be necessary. The study doctor may ask you and your partner 
to allow him/her to collect information about her pregnancy and the health of the 
baby. 
Additional Information: 
The apalutamide medication bottle will also include a small sachet, called a 
desiccant. You should not eat or remove this sachet. It has been placed in the bottle 
to protect the study medication. You should store your study medication in the study 
bottle and not place your pills in a separate container, such as a pill container. If you 
have any questions your study doctor will answer them. You must store your study 
medication in its original packaging with the desiccant. You cannot remove or eat the 
sachet that is in your bottle of study medication. You should not store your study 
medication in a separate pill container. 
Non-physical risks 
If you join this study, non-physical risks are: 
• You might not be able to work. 
• Results of genetic tests might be released by accident. This risk is very low, 
because we keep personal information private. If these results became known, 
you could have problems with family members or insurance. 
• There may be psychological, emotional, financial, social, and legal risks that 
might result. These risks include change in emotional state, anxiety, or 
depression associated with taking the study drugs. There may be financial 
risks related to reimbursement for study procedures.

What are the benefits? 
There may or may not be a direct benefit to you from taking part in this study. We are 
testing apalutamide to see its effects on people with prostate cancer. You might get 
better if you receive apalutamide, but your condition could stay the same or even get 
worse. 
We hope the information from this study will help other people with prostate cancer 
in the future. 
You have other choices besides this study. 
You do not have to join this study. You are free to say "yes" or "no". Your regular 
medical care would not change if you decide to say "no". 
You have other choices for treatment. Each of these choices has risks and benefits. 
You should talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about these choices. 
Other choices include: continuing on actives surveillance alone, other research 
studies, prostatectomy, or prostate radiation therapy. 
Enrollment in this study may exclude you from other research studies.

How is my genetic information protected? 
A federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) helps 
protect genetic information about people who join research studies. 
GINA restricts access to genetic information so that it cannot be used for health 
insurance coverage decisions. GINA prevents health insurance companies or group 
health plans from 
• Asking for genetic information obtained in research studies, or 
• Using genetic information when making decisions regarding your eligibility or 
premiums 
GINA does not help or protect against genetic discrimination by companies that sell 
life, disability or long term care insurance. 
How long will my samples be stored? 
Your samples will be stored for up to five years following the completion of this 
study. Samples will be stored at University of Washington and/or Johns Hopkins for 
research purposes only. These samples may also be sent to our research partners 
participating in this study, including Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC. University of 
Washington and our research partners work to understand and cure diseases. The 
biospecimens and/or data you provide are important to this effort. Researchers will 
not report their results to you or your doctor. Your samples may be used in future 
studies of prostate cancer, including genetic studies. Your specimens will not be used 
for reasons unrelated to this research study. All specimens will be kept in locked 
research laboratories at University of Washington and/or Johns Hopkins. The use of 
these specimens will be supervised by the primary investigators at University of 
Washington (Michael T. Schweizer, MD) and/or Johns Hopkins (Mark Markowski, 
MD) and their designees.

Your rights 
• You do not have to join this study. You are free to say "yes" or "no". 
• If you get sick or hurt in this study, you do not lose any of your legal rights to 
seek payment by signing this form. 
• During the study, we might learn new information that you need to know. For 
example, some information may affect your health or well-being. Other 
information might make you change your mind about being in this study. If 
we learn these kinds of information, we would tell you. 
• If you join this study, you would not have to stay in it. You could stop at any 
time (even before you start). Your regular medical care would not change. 
You would have no penalty for stopping, but it would be better not to join the 
study if you think that you would change your mind later. 
• If you decide to drop out, we would want you to tell the study doctor. The 
doctor could tell you about the effects of stopping apalutamide. You and the 
doctor could talk about the follow-up care and testing that would help the 
most.
