What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT07451002
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC): Routine Clinical Practice SettingParticipants with confirmed diagnosis of mHSPC will be enrolled at the time of initiation of treatment with apalutamide (Month 0) in routine clinical practice and will be followed up until 12 months after end of study visit (Month 12). No intervention will be administered as a part of this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Apalutamide at 12 Months

    Adherent participants are defined as participants adherent to apalutamide at every visit until 12 months according to the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). MARS-5 is a well-known participant-reported adherence measure (PRAM) consisting of 5 items assessing the adherence behavior of a participant to a given medication with a 5-point scale, ranging from "always" to "never" (1-5 points). The scale total ranges from 5 (lowest adherence) to 25 points (maximal adherence). A higher score indicates more adherence.

    Measured: At 12 months

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Change in Adherence According to MARS-5 by Apalutamide Formulation

    Participants with changes in adherence according to the MARS-5, by apalutamide formulation will be reported. MARS-5 is a well-known PRAM consisting of 5 items assessing the adherence behavior of a participant to a given medication with a 5-point scale, ranging from "always" to "never" (1-5 points). The scale total ranges from 5 (lowest adherence) to 25 points (maximal adherence). A higher score indicates more adherence.

    Measured: At 12 months

Secondary outcomes (56)

  4. Percentage of Adherent Participants at 3, 6, and 9 Months

    Percentage of adherent participants at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months according to the MARS-5 will be reported. MARS-5 is a well-known PRAM consisting of 5 items assessing the adherence behavior of a participant to a given medication. Participants are asked to evaluate how often they adopt each behavior with a 5-point scale, ranging from "always" to "never" (1-5 points). The scale total ranges from 5 (lowest adherence) to 25 points (maximal adherence). A higher score indicates more adherence.

    Measured: At 3,6,9 months

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Change in Adherence According to MARS-5 by Apalutamide Formulation at 3, 6 and 9 Months

    Participants with changes in adherence according to the MARS-5, by apalutamide formulation will be reported. MARS-5 is a well-known PRAM consisting of 5 items assessing the adherence behavior of a participant to a given medication with a 5-point scale, ranging from "always" to "never" (1-5 points). The scale total ranges from 5 (lowest adherence) to 25 points (maximal adherence). A higher score indicates more adherence.

    Measured: At 3, 6 and 9 months

  6. Number of Participants with Risk of Non-Adherence as per Social, Psychological, Usage and Rational (SPUR) Factors as per SPUR Adherence Tool

    SPUR is a validated, participant-reported questionnaire that assesses adherence-related behavior across thirteen specific behavioral drivers categorized into four dimensions: Social, Psychological, Usage, and Rational. It consists of 24 items and uses a 5-point Likert scale for each item (ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"), with some items reverse-coded to minimize response bias. Scores are calculated for each behavioral driver dimension and score indicating the risk of non-adherence is calculated from them, allowing assessment of global non-adherence risk as well as analysis of the behavioral constituents of that risk by considering the mix of drivers present and their relative importance. Here, higher scores indicate more adherence.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12

  7. Spearman Correlation Coefficients at Baseline and Month 12

    Spearman correlation coefficients between each of the 13 behavioral drivers will be reported.

It consists of 24 items and uses a 5-point Likert scale for each item (ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"), with some items reverse-coded to minimize response bias. Scores are calculated for each behavioral driver dimension and score indicating the risk of non-adherence is calculated from them, allowing assessment of global non-adherence risk as well as analysis of the behavioral constituents of that risk by considering the mix of drivers present and their relative importance.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Study Contact (844-434-4210, Participate-In-This-Study1@its.jnj.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Apalutamide at 12 Months (time frame: At 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
