NRG-GU008 Prostate Cancer

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if an investigational drug called apalutamide (the study drug) is a safe and effective treatment for your form of cancer. We want to know how well people respond to the usual therapy (hormone therapy and radiation) in combination with the study drug compared to the usual therapy on its own.
