Interventional Cohort (Group 1): RT+ LHRHaACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive radiotherapy (RT) which is defined as prostate-bed plus pelvic lymph node salvage external-beam radiotherapy with or without optional stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), along with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa) as a 3-monthly depot preparation within 3 days after randomization and the end of Week 12, or as a 6-monthly depot preparation within 3 days after randomization.
Interventional Cohort (Group 2): RT+LHRHa + ApalutamideEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive prostate-bed plus pelvic lymph node salvage external-beam radiotherapy (RT) with or without optional stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), along with a LHRHa as a 3-monthly depot preparation within 3 days after randomization and the end of Week 12, or as a 6-monthly depot preparation within 3 days after randomization. Participants will also receive 240 milligram (mg) of apalutamide starting within 3 days after randomization as film-coated tablets, to be swallowed whole and together once daily with or without food, for a period of 180 Days.
Observational Cohort(Group3) PSMA-PET Negative ParticipantsNO_INTERVENTIONEnrollment into this cohort will be stopped further. Participants who were PSMA-PET-negative at screening and were already enrolled in the Observational Cohort will continue in this cohort. Data collected in the course of routine clinical practice during this period will include clinical evaluations, disease progression, therapies administered as per standard-of-care at the study-sites and survival status. For Observational Cohort, information will be entered into the electronic case report form (eCRF) from the medical records at least twice a year. The use of any medicinal product(s) for the treatment and management of participants will be at discretion of the treating physician.
