Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Men aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma and documented metastatic hormone-sensitive disease who have agreed with their physician to start apalutamide plus ADT, can provide a baseline PSA, and can complete study questionnaires.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not starting apalutamide, those with non-metastatic disease, people unable or unwilling to complete questionnaires, or those treated outside participating French sites are unlikely to gain direct benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is an observational, real-world study that follows men who start apalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Participants are enrolled before their first dose and must have a baseline PSA measurement. The study collects self-reported adherence and quality-of-life questionnaires over the first year and documents treatment persistence. Analysis will describe adherence rates and identify patient characteristics and behaviors associated with non-adherence, without altering clinical care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help clinicians spot patients at risk of poor adherence and design support measures to keep men on apalutamide longer.
How similar studies have gone: Real-world adherence studies of oral prostate cancer therapies have reported variable adherence and identified risk factors, but adherence-specific data for apalutamide in mHSPC are still limited.

Inclusion criteria: * Male (based on chromosomal composition at birth) and aged greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 years. * Must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma * Must have documented metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) * Must have agreed with the treating physician to initiate treatment with apalutamide (plus androgen-deprivation therapy \[ADT\]) in accordance with the current product characteristics summary, based on the physician's decision, prior to study inclusion * Able to understand the content of the patient information sheet and has provided oral consent for data collection. Has received the information sheet and has not objected to data collection * Must have a baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level collected prior to the first administration of apalutamide. * Must agree to complete adherence and quality-of-life questionnaires during the study, including before the first administration of apalutamide Exclusion criteria: * Has already received or is currently receiving apalutamide, or any other androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI; including but not limited to abiraterone acetate, darolutamide, and enzalutamide) or chemotherapy for mHSPC * Has received an investigational drug (including vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 90 days prior to study start or data collection * Is currently receiving active treatment for prostate cancer as part of an interventional study * Has received ADT for mHSPC for more than 4 months prior to starting apalutamide treatment * Has experienced progression under ADT (and thus became castration-resistant) before starting apalutamide treatment * Beneficiary of State Medical Aid \[AME\] * Does not speak/read French * Under guardianship or curatorship * Under judicial protection
