- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to Prostrate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression From the date of randomization to the first observation of PSA progression (up to 38 months) 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With PSA Response (≥ 90%) Up to 38 months The PSA response rate ≥90% is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population with maximal PSA declines of at least 90% at any time and at each visit for participants with detectable PSA at baseline and at least 1 post-baseline assessment.
Percentage of Participants With Undetectable PSA (< 0.2 ng/mL) Up to 38 months The PSA undetectable rate was defined as the percentage of participants with detectable (≥ 0.2 ng/mL) PSA at baseline, which became undetectable (\< 0.2 ng/mL) during study treatment. Only participants with detectable PSA at baseline was included in the analysis.
Time to First Symptomatic Skeletal Event (SSE) Up to 38 months Time to first SSE was defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of the first SSE. SSE was defined as radiation or surgery to bone, clinically apparent pathological bone fracture or spinal cord compression. Time to event analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Percentage of Participants With PSA Response (≥ 50%) Up to 38 months The PSA response rate ≥50% is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population with maximal PSA declines of at least 50% at any time and at each visit for participants with detectable PSA at baseline and at least 1 post-baseline assessment.
Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS) up to 38 months An rPFS event was defined as the time from randomization to the first objective evidence of radiographic disease progression assessed by investigator or death (defined as death from any cause within 24 weeks from study drug discontinuation), whichever occurred first. Radiographic disease progression was defined as progressive disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 for soft tissue disease or by appearance of 2 or more new lesions on bone scan. Time to event analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Time to Initiation of New Antineoplastic Therapy Up to 38 months Time to initiate of a new antineoplastic therapy (including cytotoxic and hormone therapies) was defined as the time interval from randomization to the date of the first dose administration of the first antineoplastic therapy. Time to event analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Up to 38 months The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline who achieved a complete or partial response (CR or PR) in their soft tissue disease using the RECIST version 1.1 criteria, CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease. No new lesions. PR was defined as \>=30% decrease on study under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.
Time to Castration Resistance Up to 38 months Castration resistance was defined as occurrence of radiographic disease progression, PSA progression or SSE with castrate levels of testosterone (\< 50 ng/dL). Time to castration resistance was defined as the time from randomization to the first castration resistant event (radiographic disease progression, PSA progression or SSE), whichever occurred first. PSA progression was defined as a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 μg/L (2 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. Radiographic disease progression was defined as progressive disease by RECIST version 1.1 for soft tissue disease or by appearance of 2 or more new lesions on bone scan. SSE was defined as radiation or surgery to bone, clinically apparent pathological bone fracture or spinal cord compression. Time to event analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
