Summary
This phase III trial studies whether adding apalutamide to the usual treatment improves outcome in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer after surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-ray to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgens, or male sex hormones, can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as apalutamide, may help stop or reduce the growth of prostate cancer cell growth by blocking the attachment of androgen to its receptors on cancer cells, a mechanism similar to stopping the entrance of a key into its lock. Adding apalutamide to the usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy after surgery may stabilize prostate cancer and prevent it from spreading and extend time without disease spreading compared to the usual approach.

- Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (Note: In subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is \> 1.5 x ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin and if direct bilirubin is =\< 1.5 x ULN, subject is eligible) (within 90 days prior to registration)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 x institutional ULN (within 90 days prior to registration)
- Serum albumin \>= 3.0 g/dL (within 90 days prior to registration)
- Discontinue or substitute concomitant medications known to lower the seizure threshold at least 30 days prior to registration
- The patient must agree to use a condom (even men with vasectomies) and another effective method of birth control if he is having sex with a woman of childbearing potential or agree to use a condom if he is having sex with a woman who is pregnant while on study drug and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial and have a CD4 count \>= 200 cells/microliter within 30 days prior to registration. Note: HIV testing is not required for eligibility for this protocol
- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy within 30 days prior to registration, if indicated. Note: HBV viral testing is not required for eligibility for this protocol
- Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load within 30 days prior to registration
- Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. Note: Any patient with a cancer (other than keratinocyte carcinoma or carcinoma in situ) who has no evidence of disease for \< 3 years must contact the principal investigator, Ronald Chen, Doctor of Medicine (MD)
- The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry
Exclusion Criteria21
- Definitive radiologic evidence of metastatic disease (M1a, M1b or M1c) on molecular imaging (e.g. Fluciclovine F-18 PET, \[FACBC, Axumin\], F-18 PSMA PET \[Pylarify\], flotufolastat F-18 PSMA PET scan \[Posluma\], Gallium-68 PSMA PET scan or C-11 choline PET)
- Prior systemic chemotherapy for the study cancer; note that prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowed (completed \> 3 years prior to registration)
- Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields
- Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) prior to radical prostatectomy
- Prior treatment with androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (including but not exclusive to a growing list of: abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide), unless started =\< 180 days and stopped prior to registration, which is allowed
- Current use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. NOTE: if the alpha reductase inhibitor is stopped prior to randomization the patient is eligible
- History of any of the following:
- Seizure or known condition that may pre-dispose to seizure (e.g. prior stroke within 1 year prior to registration, brain arteriovenous malformation, Schwannoma, meningioma, or other benign central nervous system \[CNS\] or meningeal disease which may require treatment with surgery or radiation therapy)
- Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (e.g., pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias within 12 months prior to registration
- New York Heart Association functional classification III/IV (Note: Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association functional classification.)
- History of any condition that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study
- Current evidence of any of the following:
- Known gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption of oral medications
- Active uncontrolled infection
- Presence of uncontrolled hypertension (persistent systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \>= 160 mmHg or diastolic BP \>= 100 mmHg). Subjects with a history of hypertension are allowed, provided that BP is controlled to within these limits by anti-hypertensive treatment
