SEQUENTIAL ADMINISTRATION
OF NEW AGENTS – 1
Few clinical trials
Retrospective uncontrolled post-hoc analysis (inherent bias)
Small sample size
Short follow-up
Evaluation of objective responses not always comparable
Evaluation of cumulative results and not patients’ individual data
Prognostic variables that may influence the clinical outcomes
Not always available
OS since the first initiation of docetaxel never reported
Maines F, et al., Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2015;96:498–506
PRE- AND POST-DOCETAXEL
SETTING OF ABI AND ENZA COMPARISON
OS in favour for ENZ both in chemotherapy
pretreated (HR 0.85) and naïve (HR 0.90) patients
OS identical in pts with visceral disease and >75 ys
OS relatively (ns) better with ENZ in pts without
visceral disease
ENZ provides a significantly longer time without
PSA progression
ENZ provides a significantly better
radiographic PFS

WHAT ABOUT EARLIER
CHEMOTHERAPY?
What if we start having patients that have already received chemotherapy and have
hormonosensitivity?
Things are changing, since they may have to go directly to second-line
chemotherapy with cabazitexel when disease progresses, or try a re-challenge
with docetaxel
How should we treat castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who have received
androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus docetaxel upfront for hormone-sensitive
disease?

PSA RESPONSE FOR
CRPC PATIENTS
Treated with docetaxel (first- or second-line)

ADT+D treatment (cut-off 13.6 months)
Treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide
(first- or second-line): Patients treated with
upfront ADT+D

KAPLAN–MEIER CURVES FOR bPFS
Survival after first-line docetaxel treatment for CRPC in patients treated
for mHSPC with upfront ADT and ADT-D
bPFS after docetaxel for first-line
CRPC was 6 months (95% CI 3.6–
7.7) in the ADT arm and 4.1 months
(95% CI 1.3-4.9) in the ADT+D arm
When used for first-line or second-
line CRPC treatments, next-
generation AR axis-targeted agents
(abiratone or enzalutamide) were
associated with a PSA decline of
more than 50% in 10/12 (83%)
evaluable patients in the ADT
control arm and 10/17 (59%) in
the ADT+D armMedian OS for CRPC
27.5 mo for ADT vs. 23.7 mo for ADT+D

THERE ARE MORE CONSIDERATIONS…
Upfront metastatic, high-volume bone (lytic?), visceral, high GS
Anaplastic phenotype?
PSA high or low? PSA decline
CTCs?
Methodology of disease measurement
Search of biomarkers (clinical, pathological, molecular, to better identify patients
that may be helped by early chemotherapy)
ARE WE EVALUATING
DISEASE PROPERLY?
We need a more precise identification of disease distribution or volume to better
identify those who most benefit from chemotherapy
WHAT IS EXTENSIVE DISEASE?

COMPLETED RETROSPECTIVE
STUDIES OF SEQUENCING AA AND ENZ
Analysis of patients who received AA followed by ENZ in pre-chemotherapy setting
Median duration of ENZ therapy was around 4 months
Similar to the low response rates detected in the post-chemotherapy sequencing studies, Suzman et al.
found that only 34% of patients had >50% PSA decline on ENZ, whereas Azad et al. found that only 25% of
patients had a >50% PSA decline on ENZ

Retrospective study – 47 patients mCRPC
All patients were treated with D and AA
42 patients (89%) CAB
Median age: 69 years (IQR, 63–73.5)
79% had bone metastases; 55% had lymph node metastases; 17% had
visceral metastases
Median duration of ENZ treatment was 12.0 weeks (IQR, 8.3–20.4)
11 patients (23%) responded to ENZ (maximum PSA decline ≥50%)
Median OS: 40.1 weeks (95% CI, 25.4–61.4)
Median PFS: 12.1 weeks (95% CI, 9.9–14.0)
Median time to PSA progression:15.7 weeks (95% CI, 14.0–28.7)
ENZ is well tolerated and there is a 23% response rate in heavily pre-treated
CRPC patients, which is comparable with third-line treatment outcomes

Median PFS: 19.5 m (AA) vs. 13 m (ENZ)
Median OS: 33.3 m (AA) vs. 30 m (ENZ)
Median PSA-PFS: 29.5 m (AA) vs. 12.3 m (ENZ)
Chance of achieving PSA response to both
1st and 2nd hormonal therapy is significantly
higher in the AA ENZ group (33.8% vs. 6.3%)

AR-V7 AND EFFICACY OF TAXANE
CHEMOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH mCRPC
Compared with 62 patients from previous trial
In AR-V7+ men, taxanes appear to be more efficacious than ENZA or AA
(PSA response, PSA PFS, cPFS)
In AR-V7– men, taxanes and ENZA or AA may have comparable efficacy

Detection of AR-V7 in CTCs from men with mCRPC is not associated with
primary resistance to taxane agents
AR-V7–positive patients may retain sensitivity to taxanes
In AR-V7–positive men:
Taxanes may be more efficacious than AR-directed therapies
In AR-V7–negative men:
Taxanes may have comparable efficacy to AR-directed agents
AR-V7 may be a treatment-selection marker in mCRPC

Stage dependent
“AR ON” cells (PSA+ and PSMA–) are mostly found in hormone-naïve patients changing to
“AR OFF” after induction of androgen deprivation
Transition from “AR ON” to “ AR mixed” or ‘”AR OFF” during treatment with AA was prognostic
Detection of ARVs

tumour and different metastatic sites (CellSearch)
75% of pts with advanced PrCa
≥5 CTCs in 7.5 mL has been validated as a prognostic marker in mCRPC receiving
docetaxel or AA
Increase in CTCs at any point under treatment was associated with reduced OS
More prognostic than PSA
CTCs with stem cell features contribute to metastases

Platinum-based therapy plus oral cyclophosphamide is a tolerable and promising regimen for heavily
pretreated poor PS mCRPC patients with some “anaplastic” disease features as opposed to best supportive care.
Carboplatin seems to be more effective in terms of time to response and response rates

AA WITHDRAWAL TO AVOID
RESISTANCE
AA withdrawal seems to be a safe and promising choice for
a carefully chosen cohort of mCRPC patients with common
characteristics such as slow-rising PSA values, slow PSA-DT
(>3 m) under treatment, asymptomatic status and no radiological
progression. Probably, patients with bone metastases only or LN
might be the ones to whom such a choice could apply
Molecular stratification – Somatic and germline DNA analyses
DNA repair defective mCRPC – treatment with PARP inhibitors
PTEN loss mCRPC – combined AR and AKT blockade
High mutational load mCRPC – immunotherapy
Better treatment of local disease for M1 at diagnosis patients
Radiation? Surgery?

LATITUDE RESULTS
OS rate at 3 years:
ADT+AA+P: 66%
ADT+PBOs: 49%
These findings indicate that
the addition of AA + P to ADT
can potentially be considered
a new standard of care for
patients with high-risk, newly-
diagnosed mCNPC

In hormone-naïve prostate cancer, abiraterone acetate + prednisolone
improves: Overall survival and failure-free survival
When
Meets at least 2 of 3 high-risk criteria
Gleason score of ≥8
Presence of ≥3 lesions on bone scan
Presence of measurable visceral lesion
…is a possible option
Who is the early-chemo candidate patient ?
Maybe when we have the clinical presentation of a more aggressive disease,
such as multiple visceral lesions or rapidly progressive in restaging, before any
treatment in hormone-naïve patients
NOT really clear yet!
WHAT MAY COME NEXT FOR
TREATING HSPC?
mCRPC
Ideal treatment sequence NOT known
Resistance mechanisms and biomarkers, if better elucidated, could provide
insight into treatment selection
Upon clinical suspicion of anaplastic/NePC
Short response (<1 year) to 1st-line ADT, lack of undetectable PSA with 1st ADT
High Gleason score (8–10), short PSA doubling time (<4–6 mo)
Visceral metastases, predominantly lytic bone metastases
Disproportionally low PSA to tumour burden, presence of B symptoms
See a medical oncologist and discuss it early…
SCPC and “anaplastic” “IAC” share neuroendocrine pathways and their
reliance on AR is little, if any – treatments aiming at AR are not efficacious
