This phase IIa trial investigates the biomarker (plasma levels of PSA) of low-dose
apalutamide in patients with prostate cancer confined in the prostate gland before surgery.
Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells, and Apalutamide blocks the use of
testosterone by the tumor cells. Giving low-dose apalutamide before prostate surgery may lead
to lowered PSA levels in men with prostate cancer confined to the prostate gland.
