RESUMEN
Importance: Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide are recommended as preferred treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but differences in their relative efficacy are unclear due to a lack of head-to-head clinical trials. Clear guidance is needed for making informed mCRPC therapeutic choices. Objective: To compare clinical outcomes in patients with mCRPC treated with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective, multicenter cohort study included patients with mCRPC in the US Department of Veterans Affairs health care system who initiated treatment with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide between January 1, 2014, and October 30, 2022. Exposures: Abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. Main Outcomes and Measures: The study used inverse probability of treatment weighting to balance baseline characteristics between patients initiating abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide and evaluated restricted mean survival time (RMST) differences in overall survival (OS), prostate cancer-specific survival (PCS), time to next treatment switching or death (TTS), and time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (TTR) at different time points after treatment initiation. Results: The study included 5779 patients (median age, 74.42 years [IQR, 68.94-82.14 years]). Median follow-up was between 38 and 60 months. Patients initiating enzalutamide on average had longer OS than those initiating abiraterone acetate, with RMSTs of 24.29 months (95% CI, 23.58-24.99 months) and 23.38 months (95% CI, 22.85-23.92 months), respectively, and a difference in RMST of 0.90 months (95% CI, 0.02-1.79 months) at 4 years. Similarly, TTS and TTR were improved in patients initiating enzalutamide, with an RMST at 4 years of 1.95 months (95% CI, 0.92-2.99 months) longer for TTS and 3.57 months (95% CI, 1.76-5.38 months) shorter for TTR. For PCS, the RMST at 2 years was 0.48 months (95% CI, 0.01-0.95 months) longer. An examination of subgroups identified that enzalutamide initiation was associated with longer RMST in OS among patients without prior docetaxel treatment (1.14 months; 95% CI, 0.19-2.10 months) and in those with PSA doubling time of 3 months or longer (2.23 months; 95% CI, 0.81-3.66 months) but not among patients with prior docetaxel (-0.25 months; 95% CI, -2.59 to 2.09 months) or with PSA doubling time of less than 3 months (0.05 months; 95% CI, -1.05 to 1.15 months). Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study of patients with mCRPC, initiation of enzalutamide was associated with small but statistically significant improvements in OS, PCS, TTS, and TTR compared with initiation of abiraterone acetate. The improvements were more prominent in short-term outcomes, including TTS and TTR, and in patient subgroups without prior docetaxel or with PSA doubling time longer than 3 months.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Trough abiraterone concentration (ABI Cmin) of 8.4 ng/mL has been identified as an appropriate efficacy threshold in patients treated for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The aim of the phase II OPTIMABI study was to evaluate the efficacy of pharmacokinetics (PK)-guided dose escalation of abiraterone acetate (AA) in underexposed patients with mCRPC with early tumour progression. METHODS: This multicentre, non-randomised study consisted of two sequential steps. In step 1, all patients started treatment with 1000 mg of AA once daily. Abiraterone Cmin was measured 22-26 h after the last dose intake each month during the first 12 weeks of treatment. In step 2, underexposed patients (Cmin < 8.4 ng/mL) with tumour progression within the first 6 months of treatment were enrolled and received AA 1000 mg twice daily. The primary endpoint was the rate of non-progression at 12 weeks after the dose doubling. During step 1, adherence to ABI treatment was assessed using the Girerd self-reported questionnaire. A post-hoc analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) data was conducted using Bayesian estimation of Cmin from samples collected outside the sampling guidelines (22-26 h). RESULTS: In the intention-to-treat analysis (ITT), 81 patients were included in step 1. In all, 21 (26%) patients were underexposed in step 1, and 8 of them (38%) experienced tumour progression within the first 6 months. A total of 71 patients (88%) completed the Girerd self-reported questionnaire. Of the patients, 62% had a score of 0, and 38% had a score of 1 or 2 (minimal compliance failure), without a significant difference in mean ABI Cmin in the two groups. Four patients were enrolled in step 2, and all reached the exposure target (Cmin > 8.4 ng/mL) after doubling the dose, but none met the primary endpoint. In the post-hoc analysis of PK data, 32 patients (39%) were underexposed, and ABI Cmin was independently associated with worse progression-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) 2.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-5.81; p = 0.03], in contrast to the ITT analysis. CONCLUSION: The ITT and per-protocol analyses showed no statistical association between ABI underexposure and an increased risk of early tumour progression in patients with mCRPC, while the Bayesian estimator showed an association. However, other strategies than dose escalation at the time of progression need to be evaluated. Treatment adherence appeared to be uniformly good in the present study. Finally, the use of a Bayesian approach to recover samples collected outside the predefined blood collection time window could benefit the conduct of clinical trials based on drug monitoring. OPTIMABI trial is registered as National Clinical Trial number NCT03458247, with the EudraCT number 2017-000560-15).

INTRODUCTION: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are a novel option to treat patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Niraparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP) is indicated for BRCA1/2 mutation-positive mCRPC. Niraparib plus AAP demonstrated safety and efficacy in the phase 3 MAGNITUDE trial (NCT03748641). In the absence of head-to-head studies comparing PARPi regimens, the feasibility of conducting indirect treatment comparisons (ITC) to inform decisions for patients with first-line BRCA1/2 mutation-positive mCRPC has been explored. METHODS: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify evidence from randomized controlled trials on relevant comparators to inform the feasibility of conducting ITCs via network meta-analysis (NMA) or population-adjusted indirect comparisons (PAIC). Feasibility was assessed based on network connectivity, data availability in the BRCA1/2 mutation-positive population, and degree of within- and between-study heterogeneity or bias. RESULTS: NMAs between niraparib plus AAP and other PARPi regimens (olaparib monotherapy, olaparib plus AAP, and talazoparib plus enzalutamide) were inappropriate due to the disconnected network, differences in trial populations related to effect modifiers, or imbalances within BRCA1/2 mutation-positive subgroups. The latter issue, coupled with the lack of a common comparator (except for olaparib plus AAP), also rendered anchored PAICs infeasible. Unanchored PAICs were either inappropriate due to lack of population overlap (vs. olaparib monotherapy) or were restricted by unmeasured confounders and small sample size (vs. olaparib plus AAP). PAIC versus talazoparib plus enzalutamide was not possible due to lack of published arm-level baseline characteristics and sufficient efficacy outcome data in the relevant population. CONCLUSION: The current randomized controlled trial evidence network does not permit robust comparisons between niraparib plus AAP and other PARPi regimens for patients with 1L BRCA-positive mCRPC. Decision-makers should scrutinize any ITC results in light of their limitations. Real-world evidence combined with clinical experience should inform treatment recommendations in this indication.

Abiraterone acetate (AA) serves as a medication for managing persistent testosterone production in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, its efficacy varies among individuals; thus, the identification of biomarkers to predict and follow treatment response is required. In this pilot study, we explored the potential of circulating microRNAs (c-miRNAs) to stratify patients based on their responsiveness to AA. We conducted an analysis of plasma samples obtained from a cohort of 33 mCRPC patients before and after three, six, and nine months of AA treatment. Using miRNA RT-qPCR panels for candidate discovery and TaqMan RT-qPCR for validation, we identified promising miRNA signatures. Our investigation indicated that a signature based on miR-103a-3p and miR-378a-5p effectively discriminates between non-responder and responder patients, while also following the drug's efficacy over time. Additionally, through in silico analysis, we identified target genes and transcription factors of the two miRNAs, including PTEN and HOXB13, which are known to play roles in AA resistance in mCRPC. In summary, our study highlights two c-miRNAs as potential companion diagnostics of AA in mCRPC patients, offering novel insights for informed decision-making in the treatment of mCRPC.

This ABIGENE pharmacokinetic (PK) study sought mainly to characterize the unchanged drug PK during long-term abiraterone acetate (AA) administration in advanced prostate cancer patients (81 patients). It was observed that individual AA concentrations remained constant over treatment time, with no noticeable changes during repeated long-term drug administration for up to 120 days. There was no correlation between AA concentrations and survival outcomes. However, a significant association between higher AA concentrations and better clinical benefit was observed (p = 0.041). The safety data did not correlate with the AA PK data. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.40, p < 0.001) was observed between mean AA concentration and patient age: the older the patient, the higher the AA concentration. Patient age was found to impact steady-state AA concentration: the older the patient, the higher the mean AA concentration. Altogether, these data may help to guide future research and clinical trials in order to maximize the benefits of AA metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy and safety of risk-adapted combinations of androgen signaling inhibitors and inform disease classifiers for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a modular, randomized phase II trial, 192 men were treated with 8 weeks of abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide (AAPA; module 1) and then allocated to modules 2 or 3 based on satisfactory (≥50% PSA decline from baseline and <5 circulating tumor cell/7.5 mL) versus unsatisfactory status. Men in the former were randomly assigned to continue AAPA alone (module 2A) or with ipilimumab (module 2B). Men in the latter group had carboplatin + cabazitaxel added to AAPA (module 3). Optional baseline biopsies were subjected to correlative studies. RESULTS: Median overall survival (from allocation) was 46.4 [95% confidence interval (CI), 39.2-68.2], 41.4 (95% CI, 33.3-49.9), and 18.7 (95% CI, 14.3-26.3) months in modules 2A (n = 64), 2B (n = 64), and 3 (n = 59), respectively. Toxicities were within expectations. Of 192 eligible patients, 154 (80.2%) underwent pretreatment metastatic biopsies. The aggressive-variant prostate cancer molecular profile (defects in ≥2 of p53, RB1, and PTEN) was associated with unsatisfactory status. Exploratory analyses suggested that secreted phosphoprotein 1-positive and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2-positive macrophages, druggable myeloid cell markers, and germline pathogenic mutations were enriched in the unsatisfactory group. CONCLUSIONS: Adding ipilimumab to AAPA did not improve outcomes in men with androgen-responsive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Despite the addition of carboplatin + cabazitaxel, men in the unsatisfactory group had shortened survivals. Adaptive designs can enrich for biologically and clinically relevant disease subgroups to contribute to the development of marker-informed, risk-adapted therapy strategies in men with prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is growing concern about the adverse metabolic and cardiovascular effects of abiraterone acetate (AA) and enzalutamide (ENZ), two standard hormonal therapies for prostate cancer. We analysed the risk of cardiovascular adverse events among patients treated with AA and ENZ. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used Kythera Medicare data from January 2019 to June 2023 to identify patients with at least one pharmacy claim for AA or ENZ. The index date was the first prescription claim date. Patients were required to have 1 year of data pre- and post-index date. New users excluded those with prior AA or ENZ claims and pre-existing cardiovascular comorbidities. Demographic and clinical variables, including age, socioeconomic status (SES), comorbidity score, prostate-specific comorbidities, and healthcare costs, were analysed . Propensity score matching was employed for risk adjustment. RESULTS: Of the 8,929 and 8,624 patients in the AA and ENZ cohorts, respectively, 7,647 were matched after adjusting for age, sociodemographic, and clinical factors. Between the matched cohorts (15.54% vs. 14.83%, p < 0.05), there were no statistically significant differences in any cardiovascular event after adjusting for these factors. The most common cardiovascular event in both cohorts was heart failure (5.20% vs. 4.49%), followed by atrial fibrillation (4.42% vs. 3.60%) and hypotension (2.93% vs. 2.48%). INTERPRETATION: This study provides real-world evidence of the cardiovascular risk of AA and ENZ that may not appear in clinical trial settings. Adjusting for age, baseline comorbidities, and SES, the likelihood of a cardiovascular event did not differ between treatment groups.

Importance: The association between the use of bone-modifying agents (BMAs) and the outcomes among patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) remains unclear. Objective: To investigate the association between BMA use and the outcomes of patients with mCSPC receiving AAP. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this cohort study, a post hoc analysis of individual participant data from the LATITUDE trial was performed. The LATITUDE trial, a phase 3 randomized clinical trial, aimed to assess the efficacy of AAP and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) vs dual-placebo and ADT in patients with high-risk mCSPC (data cutoff, August 15, 2018). Eligible patients had newly diagnosed prostate cancer with metastases and at least 2 of 3 high-risk factors (Gleason score ≥8, presence of ≥3 lesions on bone scan, or presence of measurable visceral metastasis). The trial was conducted at 235 sites in 34 countries. Data for the present study were evaluated from July 18 to September 23, 2023. Exposures: Use of BMAs was defined as the administration of bisphosphonates and denosumab within 90 days before and after randomization. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcomes were time to skeletal-related events (SREs) and overall survival (OS). An SRE was defined as a clinical or pathological fracture, spinal cord compression, palliative radiation to bone, or surgery involving bone. Differences in these outcomes were examined using the restricted mean survival time from inverse probability of treatment weighting-adjusted Kaplan-Meier curves, estimated until the last event was observed (longest time observed, 63.9 months). Treatment × covariate interactions were analyzed using weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models for the total cohort. Results: In the total cohort of 1199 patients (956 [79.7%] younger than 75 years), 597 (49.8%) received AAP and ADT, including 474 (79.4%) younger than 75 years and 384 (64.3%) with more than 10 bone metastases (AAP cohort); 602 (50.2%) were treated with dual placebo and ADT, including 482 (80.1%) younger than 75 years and 377 (62.6%) with more than 10 bone metastases (ADT cohort). In the AAP cohort, 132 patients (22.1%) received BMAs, while in the ADT cohort, 131 (21.8%) did. Zoledronic acid was the most frequently administered BMA in both the AAP (93 [70.5%]) and the ADT (88 [67.2%]) cohorts. During the median follow-up of 51.8 (IQR, 47.2-57.0) months in the AAP cohort, BMA use was associated with a longer time to SRE (difference, 7.8 [95% CI, 4.2-11.3] months) but not with OS (difference, 1.6 [95% CI, -2.5 to 5.8] months). In the ADT cohort, BMA use was associated with both time to SRE (difference, 9.3 [95% CI, 5.2-13.3] months) and OS (difference, 5.5 [95% CI, 3.2-9.8] months). No evidence was found that the outcomes of BMA varied by AAP or ADT (hazard ratio for time to SRE, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.48-2.08]; P = .99 for interaction; hazard ratio for OS, 1.31 [95% CI, 0.88-1.96]; P = .18 for interaction). Conclusions and Relevance: The findings of this cohort study suggest that use of BMAs was associated with a longer time to SRE in patients with high-risk mCSPC treated with ADT, with or without AAP, suggesting that BMA use might provide benefits to this population.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The combination of niraparib and abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone is under investigation for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Regular-strength (RS) and lower-strength (LS) dual-action tablets (DATs), comprising niraparib 100 mg/AA 500 mg and niraparib 50 mg/AA 500 mg, respectively, were developed to reduce pill burden and improve patient experience. A bioequivalence (BE)/bioavailability (BA) study was conducted under modified fasting conditions in patients with mCRPC to support approval of the DATs. METHODS: This open-label randomized BA/BE study (NCT04577833) was conducted at 14 sites in the USA and Europe. The study had a sequential design, including a 21-day screening phase, a pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment phase comprising three periods [namely (1) single-dose with up to 1-week run-in, (2) daily dose on days 1-11, and (3) daily dose on days 12-22], an extension where both niraparib and AA as single-agent combination (SAC; reference) or AA alone was continued from day 23 until discontinuation, and a 30-day follow-up phase. Patients were randomly assigned in a parallel-group design (four-sequence randomization) to receive a single oral dose of niraparib 100 mg/AA 1000 mg as a LS-DAT or SAC in period 1, and patients continued as randomized into a two-way crossover design during periods 2 and 3 where they received niraparib 200 mg/AA 1000 mg once daily as a RS-DAT or SAC. The design was powered on the basis of crossover assessment of RS-DAT versus SAC. During repeated dosing (periods 2 and 3, and extension phase), all patients also received prednisone/prednisolone 5 mg twice daily. Plasma samples were collected for measurement of niraparib and abiraterone plasma concentrations. Statistical assessment of the RS-DAT and LS-DAT versus SAC was performed on log-transformed pharmacokinetic parameters data from periods 2 and 3 (crossover) and from period 1 (parallel), respectively. Additional paired analyses and model-based bioequivalence assessments were conducted to evaluate the similarity between the LS-DAT and SAC. RESULTS: For the RS-DAT versus SAC, the 90% confidence intervals (CI) of geometric mean ratios (GMR) for maximum concentration at a steady state (Cmax,ss) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0-24 h at a steady state (AUC 0-24h,ss) were respectively 99.18-106.12% and 97.91-104.31% for niraparib and 87.59-106.69 and 86.91-100.23% for abiraterone. For the LS-DAT vs SAC, the 90% CI of GMR for AUC0-72h of niraparib was 80.31-101.12% in primary analysis, the 90% CI of GMR for Cmax,ss and AUC 0-24h,ss of abiraterone was 85.41-118.34% and 86.51-121.64% respectively, and 96.4% of simulated LS-DAT versus SAC BE trials met the BE criteria for both niraparib and abiraterone. CONCLUSIONS: The RS-DAT met BE criteria (range 80%-125%) versus SAC based on 90% CI of GMR for Cmax,ss and AUC 0-24h,ss. The LS-DAT was considered BE to SAC on the basis of the niraparib component meeting the BE criteria in the primary analysis for AUC 0-72h; abiraterone meeting the BE criteria in additional paired analyses based on Cmax,ss and AUC 0-24h,ss; and the percentage of simulated LS-DAT versus SAC BE trials meeting the BE criteria for both. GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT04577833.

Nearly all men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with intermittent androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) experience recurrence within 6 mo of testosterone recovery. We conducted a single-arm phase 2 trial to evaluate whether addition of dual androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and metastasis-directed stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to intermittent ADT improves recurrence rates for men with between one and five nonvisceral, extrapelvic metastases on prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography after prior radical prostatectomy. Patients received 6 mo of androgen annihilation therapy (AAT; leuprolide, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, and apalutamide) and metastasis-directed SBRT. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) <0.05 ng/ml 6 mo after testosterone recovery (≥150 ng/dl), with the study powered to detect an improvement from 1% to 12%. We enrolled 28 men between March 2021 and June 2022. Median follow-up was 20 mo (interquartile range 16-22). Twenty-six patients (93%) completed SBRT with 6 mo of hormone therapy, of whom six discontinued at least one ARPI; two patients withdrew prematurely. At 6 mo after testosterone recovery, PSA was maintained at <0.05 ng/ml in 13/26 patients (50%, 95% confidence interval 32-67%). Rates of grade 2 and 3 AAT toxicity were 21% and 21%. The results confirm that addition of metastasis-directed SBRT to highly potent systemic therapy can maintain low PSA after testosterone recovery, although further studies are needed to clarify the optimal systemic therapy regimen. PATIENT SUMMARY: We tested a combination of intensified hormone therapy (called androgen annihilation therapy) and radiotherapy targeted at metastases in men with recurrence of metastatic prostate cancer. We found that half of patients were recurrence-free 6 months after their testosterone level recovered, and that less than a quarter of patients experienced a severe drug-related side effect. Overall, this appears to be an effective therapy with acceptable side effects. This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03902951.

PURPOSE: It is unclear whether exposure to commonly prescribed medications influences survival and treatment response in patients with de novo high-risk metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of the LATITUDE trial to determine whether receipt of concomitant medications influenced the effect of abiraterone acetate and prednisone, in addition to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), on overall survival (OS) and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) in patients with de novo mPCa. We focused on 7 commonly prescribed classes of medications: metformin, statins, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors, aspirin, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs (nonselective COX inhibitors). To account for multiple testing, a two-sided pâ¯<â¯0.0024 was set as the threshold for statistical significance. RESULTS: Overall, 1135 patients were eligible. There was some evidence of a differential treatment effect from abiraterone among patients who received concomitant NSAIDs (hazard ratio [HR] for OS: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.42-0.70) versus those who did not (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.60-0.91), though this did not reach significance (interaction pâ¯=â¯0.05). A similar non-significant finding of heterogeneity of effect from abiraterone was noted among patients who received concomitant aspirin (HR for OS: 0.93 [0.63-1.36]) versus those who did not (HR: 0.61 [0.51-0.73]) (interaction pâ¯=â¯0.04). Receipt of NSAIDs was independently associated with a significantly inferior OS (HR: 1.37 [1.15-1.62]; pâ¯<â¯0.001) and higher relative incidence of PCSM (sHR: 1.47 [1.21-1.78]; pâ¯<â¯0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This exploratory analysis did not find statistically significant evidence of differences in treatment effects from ADT plus abiraterone in de novo high-risk mPCa based on the receipt of concurrent medications. The receipt of NSAIDs was independently associated with increased PCSM and inferior OS.

PURPOSE: Patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BRPC) after radical prostatectomy and a short PSA doubling time are at risk for distant metastases. Apalutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) prolong survival in the metastatic setting. We evaluated whether intensification of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) improves outcomes in BRPC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: PRESTO is a randomized phase III, open-label trial in patients with BRPC and PSA doubling time ≤9 months (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03009981). Patients were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive a finite 52-week treatment course with ADT control, ADT + apalutamide, or ADT + apalutamide + AAP. The primary end point was PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), defined as serum PSA >0.2 ng/mL after treatment completion. RESULTS: Five hundred three patients were enrolled. The median PSA was 1.8 ng/mL (IQR, 1.0-3.6). At the first planned interim analysis, both experimental arms significantly prolonged PSA-PFS compared with the control arm (median, 24.9 months for ADT + apalutamide v 20.3 months for ADT; hazard ratio [HR], 0.52 [95% CI, 0.35 to 0.77]; P = .00047; median, 26.0 months for ADT + apalutamide + AAP v 20.0 months for ADT; HR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.32 to 0.71]; P = .00008). Median time to testosterone recovery did not differ across treatment arms. The most common grade ≥3 adverse event was hypertension (7.5%, 7.4%, and 18% in ADT, ADT + apalutamide, and ADT + apalutamide + AAP arms, respectively). CONCLUSION: Intensified AR blockade for a finite duration prolongs PSA-PFS with a manageable safety profile, without adversely affecting time to testosterone recovery. The addition of apalutamide to ADT should be considered in patients with high-risk BRPC.

BACKGROUND: The introduction of novel hormonal therapies represented by enzalutamide (ENZ) and abiraterone acetate (ABI) has reached a great progress in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The majority of mCRPC patients are elderly suffering from chronic co-morbidities requiring use of various concomitant medications. In the present study, we focused on impact of concomitant antihypertensive medication on the outcomes of mCRPC patients treated with ENZ or ABI. METHODS: In total, 300 patients were included and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) represented the only concomitant medication significantly associated with survival. The median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients using ACEIs were 15.5 and 32.3 months compared to 10.7 and 24.0 months for those not using ACEIs (p = 0.0053 and p = 0.0238, respectively). Cox multivariable analysis revealed the use of ACEIs a significant predictive factor for both rPFS (HR = 0.704, p = 0.0364) and OS (HR = 0.592, p = 0.0185). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest an association between the concomitant use of ACEIs and longer survival of mCRPC patients receiving ENZ or ABI therapy.

PURPOSE: SUVN-1105 is a novel formulation of abiraterone acetate which was developed to demonstrate improved bioavailability, compared to Zytiga and Yonsa, and to reduce the dose and eliminate the food effect. A Phase 1 study was conducted to assess the bioequivalence, food effect, and comparative pharmacokinetics of SUVN-1105 to Zytiga in healthy male subjects. METHODS: The study comprised of 2 segments. Segment 1 was a single-center, 4-period crossover, open-label, fixed treatment sequence, single-dose study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of SUVN-1105 (N = 12 subjects per period). Segment 2 was a single-center, open-label, single-dose, randomized, 4-period, 4-treatment, 4-sequence crossover study to evaluate bioequivalence and comparative pharmacokinetics of SUVN-1105 against Zytiga (N = 44) under overnight fasted, modified fasted, and fed conditions. RESULTS: Abiraterone exposures appeared to increase proportionately with SUVN-1105 dose (200 mg vs. 250 mg) in Segment 1. In Segment 2, abiraterone exposures of 250 mg SUVN-1105 in the fasted or fed conditions were higher than those of Zytiga 1000 mg in the overnight fasted conditions. Abiraterone exposures of 250 mg SUVN-1105 decreased in the fed conditions (64% and 29% decrease in Cmax and AUC, respectively) compared to overnight fasted conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The abiraterone exposures of 250 mg SUVN-1105 in the fasted or fed conditions fall within the abiraterone exposures of 1000 mg Zytiga in fasted and modified fasted conditions. Single doses of SUVN-1105 were safe and well-tolerated in healthy males both in the fasted and fed conditions.

PURPOSE: This article summarizes the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of the data leading to approval of olaparib plus abiraterone for the treatment of patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-mutated (BRCAm) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), as determined by an FDA-approved companion diagnostic test. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Approval was based on the results from PROpel, a double-blind trial that randomly assigned 796 patients with mCRPC to abiraterone plus prednisone or prednisolone with either olaparib or placebo. The primary end point was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per investigator assessment. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant improvement in rPFS for olaparib plus abiraterone versus placebo plus abiraterone, with a median rPFS of 25 versus 17 months and a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.66 (95% CI, 0.54 to 0.81) in the intention-to-treat population. In an exploratory analysis of the subgroup of 85 patients with BRCAm mCRPC, the HR for rPFS was 0.24 (95% CI, 0.12 to 0.45) and the HR for overall survival (OS) was 0.30 (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.59). In an exploratory analysis of the subgroup of 711 patients without an identified BRCA mutation, the HR for rPFS was 0.77 (95% CI, 0.63 to 0.96) and the HR for OS was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.74 to 1.14). Adding olaparib to abiraterone resulted in increased toxicity, including anemia requiring transfusion in 18% of patients. CONCLUSION: In patients with mCRPC, efficacy of the combination of olaparib plus abiraterone was primarily attributed to the treatment effect in the BRCAm subgroup, the indicated population for the approval. For patients without BRCAm, the FDA determined that the modest rPFS improvement, combined with clinically significant toxicities, did not demonstrate a favorable risk/benefit assessment.

Purpose: This study reviewed and analysed the serological indexes, clinical efficacy and common clinical indexes of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with combination of abiraterone hydrochloride tablets and endocrine therapy. Method: This study is a retrospective analysis. A total of 133 mCRPC patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. The patients were categorised into the experimental group (n = 51) and control group (n = 82) according to their treatment method. The control group was treated with docetaxel combined with endocrine therapy, whilst the experimental group was treated with combination therapy with abiraterone hydrochloride tablets. Subsequently, the clinical data of the two groups, including serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2), prostate specific antigen (PSA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), were analysed. Result: The overall response rate of the experimental group (84.3%) was higher than that of the control group (72.0%). The serum levels of CEA, total prostate specific antigen, free prostate specific antigen, testosterone and androgen receptor splice variant 7 in both groups were lower than those of before treatment, and the values obtained by the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in both groups were higher than those before treatment, and the levels of CD8+, IGF-1, hK2, PSA and VEGF in the two groups decreased after treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The use of abiraterone hydrochloride tablet combined with endocrine therapy for patients with mCRPC is effective and can improve clinical symptoms and serum cytokine levels (AU)

ANTECEDENTES En el marco de la metodología ad hoc para evaluar solicitudes de tecnologías sanitarias, aprobada mediante Resolución de Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación N° 111-IETSI-ESSALUD-2021 y ampliada mediante Resolución de Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación N° 97-IETSI-ESSALUD2022, se ha elaborado el presente dictamen, el cual expone la evaluación de la eficacia y seguridad de enzalutamida en pacientes adultos con cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración metastásico, con progresión a quimioterapia basada en docetaxel e intolerantes a acetato de abiraterona. Así, el Dr. Nelson Cuevas Muñoz, médico especialista en oncología del Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (HNERM), siguiendo la Directiva N° 003-IETSI-ESSALUD-2016, envió a través del comité farmacoterapéutico del Hospital HNERM al Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación - IETSI la solicitud de autorización de uso del producto farmacéutico enzalutamida no incluido en el Petitorio Farmacológico de EsSalud. ASPECTOS GENERALES: El cáncer de próstata (CP) es el segundo cáncer más frecuente en hombres a nivel mundial y el más frecuente en Perú; registrándose 30.7 y 44.3 casos nuevos por cada 100 000 hombres en el 2020, respectivamente (GLOBOCAN [Internet] 2022). Asimismo, en el mismo año, se registró más de 375 000 muertes por CP en el mundo y 2433 muertes por CP en el Perú, representando así la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer en la población peruana (GLOBOCAN [Internet] 2022). El tratamiento sistémico de primera línea para el CP en estadios avanzados es la terapia de deprivación de andrógenos (Dawson y Leger 2022). Entre el 10 % y 27 % progresa a esta terapia, y el estado de la enfermedad se conoce como CP resistente a la castración (CPRC) (Bretoni, Ferrario, y Foglia 2019; Colloca et al. 2016). Aproximadamente, más del 70 % de pacientes con CPRC tienen CPRC metastásico (CPRCm) (Bretoni, Ferrario, y Foglia 2019). METODOLOGÍA: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva con el objetivo de identificar la mejor evidencia sobre la eficacia y seguridad de enzalutamida en pacientes adultos con CPRCm, con progresión a quimioterapia basada en docetaxel e intolerantes a AA. La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó en las bases de datos PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science y LILACS. Asimismo, se realizó una búsqueda manual dentro de las páginas web pertenecientes a grupos que realizan evaluación de tecnologías sanitarias (ETS) y guías de práctica clínica (GPC) incluyendo el National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), la Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), el Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC), el Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). el Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG por sus siglas en alemán), la International Database of GRADE Guideline, el Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tecnológica en Salud (CENETEC), la Guidelines International Network (GIN), el National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), la Cancer Guidelines Database, el New Zealand Guidelines Group (NZGG), el Instituto de Evaluación Tecnológica en Salud (IETS), el Instituto de Efectividad Clínica y Sanitaria (IECS), la Base Regional de Informes de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud de las Américas (BRISA), la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el Ministerio de Salud del Perú (MINSA) y el Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación (IETSI). Además, se realizó una búsqueda de GPC de las principales sociedades o instituciones especializadas en oncología o urología, tales como: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), la Cancer Council Australia (CCA), la European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), la American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica (SEOM), la European Association of Urology (EAU) y la American Urological Association (AUA). Finalmente, se realizó una búsqueda en la página web de registro de ensayos clínicos (EC) www.clinicaltrials.gov, para identificar EC en curso o que no hayan sido publicados aún. RESULTADOS: Luego de la búsqueda bibliográfica hasta mayo de 2023, se identificaron cinco GPC elaboradas por la NCCN (NCCN 2022), la ESMO (Parker et al. 2020), la EAU (EAU 2022a), la SEOM (González del Alba et al. 2021) y la ASCO (Basch et al. 2014), y un ECA denominados AFFIRM (Scher et al. 2012). CONCLUSIÓN: Por lo expuesto, el Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación aprueba el uso de enzalutamida para pacientes adultos con CPRCm, con progresión a quimioterapia basada en docetaxel, con contraindicaciones al uso, o desarrollo de reacciones adversas que lleven a la interrupción, de AA, como producto farmacéutico no incluido en el Petitorio Farmacológico de EsSalud, según lo establecido en el Anexo N° 1. La vigencia del presente dictamen preliminar es de un año a partir de la fecha de publicación. Así, la continuación de dicha aprobación estará sujeta a la evaluación de los resultados obtenidos y de mayor evidencia que pueda surgir en el tiempo.
