23.0760:  PARALLEL PHASE III RANDOMIZED TRIALS FOR HIGH RISK PROSTATE CANCER EVALUATING DE-INTENSIFICATION FOR LOWER GENOMIC RISK AND INTENSIFICATION OF CONCURRENT THERAPY FOR HIGHER GENOMIC RISK WITH RADIATION (PREDICT-RT) 

Principal Investigator: Rohit Kumar, MD 

Phase:  III 

Description:  This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.

22.0891:  A Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion study, to investigate the safety,tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of AB521 monotherapy in participants with clear cellrenal cell carcinoma and other solid tumors

Principal Investigator: Rohit Kumar, MD

Phase:  I

Description: This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), preliminary clinical activity, pharmacodynamic (PD), and biomarkers of AB521 as monotherapy for advanced solid tumor malignancies (dose escalation) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) (dose expansion).

19.0721:  Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) Versus Standard Systemic Therapy Plus Definitive Treatment (Surgery or Radiation) of the Primary Tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Principal Investigator: Scott Silva, MD, PhD

Phase:  III

Description:  This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.
