Abstract

154 Background: LIBERTAS is a global phase 3 study evaluating apalutamide (APA) plus intermittent versus continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). The study aims to determine reduces hot flash burden compared with APA + continuous ADT and whether APA + intermittent ADT provides noninferior radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Initial findings demonstrated that treatment with 6 months of APA + ADT resulted in rapid and deep PSA responses in most patients with mCSPC. This abstract presents PSA response results from patients enroll..
