Objectives and endpoints

Primary objective Primary endpoint
To evaluate the efficacy of enzalutamide plus LHRHa vs placebo plus LHRHa in patients with high-risk nmCSPC MFS between enzalutamide plus LHRHa vs LHRHa
Key secondary objectives Secondary endpoints
To evaluate efficacy of enzalutamide monotherapy vs placebo plus LHRHa MFS between enzalutamide monotherapy vs placebo plus LHRHa
To compare enzalutamide plus LHRHa and enzalutamide alone vs placebo plus LHRHa in improving other efficacy measures Time to PSA progression
Time to first use of antineoplastic therapy
Overall survival
Other secondary objectives Other secondary endpoints
To compare enzalutamide plus LHRHa and enzalutamide alone vs placebo plus LHRHa in improving other efficacy measures Time to distant metastasis
Time to castration resistance
Time to symptomatic progression
Time to first symptomatic skeletal event (using the BPI-SF)
Time to clinically relevant pain
To compare enzalutamide plus LHRHa and enzalutamide alone vs placebo plus LHRHa based on PSA at week 36 (ie, whereby treatment is suspended at week 37 in participants with undetectable levels of ≤0.2 ng/mL) Proportion of participants per group who remain treatment-free 2 years after suspension of study drug treatment at week 37 due to undetectable PSA
Proportion of participants per group with undetectable PSA 2 years after suspension of study drug treatment at week 37 due to undetectable PSA
Proportion of participants per group with undetectable PSA at 36 weeks on study drug
Time to resumption of any hormonal therapy following suspension at week 37 due to undetectable PSA
To compare PROs in enzalutamide plus LHRHa and enzalutamide alone arms vs placebo plus LHRHa arm PROs as measured by FACT-P, EQ-5D-5L and EORTC QLQ-PR25
To compare overall safety in enzalutamide plus LHRHa and enzalutamide alone arms vs placebo plus LHRHa arm Safety (adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, physical examinations and vital signs); monitored by independent data monitoring committee
Exploratory objective Exploratory endpoint
To compare progression-free survival after first subsequent therapy Time from the date of randomisation to the first occurrence of investigator-determined disease progression
