Abstract Background Darolutamide, an oral androgen receptor inhibitor, has been approved for treating nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), based on significant improvements in metastasis-free survival (MFS) in the ARAMIS clinical trial. Efficacy and safety of darolutamide in Japanese patients are reported here. Methods In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial, 1509 patients with nmCRPC and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time ≤ 10 months were randomized 2:1 to darolutamide 600 mg twice daily or matched placebo while continuing androgen deprivation therapy. The primary endpoint was MFS. Results In Japan, 95 patients were enrolled and randomized to darolutamide (n = 62) or placebo (n = 33). At the primary analysis (cut-off date: September 3, 2018), after 20 primary end-point events had occurred, median MFS was not reached with darolutamide vs. 18.2 months with placebo (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.11–0.70). Median OS was not reached due to limited numbers of events in both groups but favored darolutamide in the Japanese subgroup. Time to pain progression, time to PSA progression, and PSA response also favored darolutamide. Among Japanese patients randomized to darolutamide vs. placebo, incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were 85.5 vs. 63.6%, and incidences of treatment discontinuation due to TEAEs were 8.1 vs. 6.1%. Conclusions Efficacy outcomes favored darolutamide in Japanese patients with nmCRPC, supporting the clinical benefit of darolutamide in this patient population. Darolutamide was well tolerated; however, due to the small sample size, it is impossible to conclude with certainty whether differences in the safety profile exist between Japanese and overall ARAMIS populations.

Purpose Several studies have reported that among patients with localized prostate cancer, black men have a shorter overall survival (OS) time than white men, but few data exist for men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary goal of this analysis was to compare the OS in black and white men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were treated in phase III clinical trials with docetaxel plus prednisone (DP) or a DP-containing regimen. Methods Individual participant data from 8,820 men with mCRPC randomly assigned in nine phase III trials to DP or a DP-containing regimen were combined. Race was based on self-report. The primary end point was OS. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the prognostic importance of race (black v white) adjusted for established risk factors common across the trials (age, prostate-specific antigen, performance status, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, and sites of metastases). Results Of 8,820 men, 7,528 (85%) were white, 500 (6%) were black, 424 (5%) were Asian, and 368 (4%) were of unknown race. Black men were younger and had worse performance status, higher testosterone and prostate-specific antigen, and lower hemoglobin than white men. Despite these differences, the median OS was 21.0 months (95% CI, 19.4 to 22.5 months) versus 21.2 months (95% CI, 20.8 to 21.7 months) in black and white men, respectively. The pooled multivariable hazard ratio of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.91) demonstrates that overall, black men have a statistically significant decreased risk of death compared with white men ( P < .001). Conclusion When adjusted for known prognostic factors, we observed a statistically significant increased OS in black versus white men with mCRPC who were enrolled in these clinical trials. The mechanism for these differences is not known.

Purpose Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of kinases, including MET and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, and has shown activity in men with previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This blinded phase III trial compared cabozantinib with prednisone in patients with mCRPC. Patients and Methods Men with progressive mCRPC after docetaxel and abiraterone and/or enzalutamide were randomly assigned at a two-to-one ratio to cabozantinib 60 mg once per day or prednisone 5 mg twice per day. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Bone scan response (BSR) at week 12 as assessed by independent review committee was the secondary end point; radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and effects on circulating tumor cells (CTCs), bone biomarkers, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and symptomatic skeletal events (SSEs) were exploratory assessments. Results A total of 1,028 patients were randomly assigned to cabozantinib (n = 682) or prednisone (n = 346). Median OS was 11.0 months with cabozantinib and 9.8 months with prednisone (hazard ratio, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.06; stratified log-rank P = .213). BSR at week 12 favored cabozantinib (42% v 3%; stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel P < .001). rPFS was improved in the cabozantinib group (median, 5.6 v 2.8 months; hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.57; stratified log-rank P < .001). Cabozantinib was associated with improvements in CTC conversion, bone biomarkers, and post–random assignment incidence of SSEs but not PSA outcomes. Grade 3 to 4 adverse events and discontinuations because of adverse events were higher with cabozantinib than with prednisone (71% v 56% and 33% v 12%, respectively). Conclusion Cabozantinib did not significantly improve OS compared with prednisone in heavily treated patients with mCRPC and progressive disease after docetaxel and abiraterone and/or enzalutamide. Cabozantinib had some activity in improving BSR, rPFS, SSEs, CTC conversions, and bone biomarkers but not PSA outcomes.

Abstract Background:Patients who have evidence of disease progression (eg, increase in serum prostate-specific antigen [PSA], new metastases, progression of existing metastases) while being managed with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are considered to have castration-resistant disease. Docetaxel (75 mg/m2) given every three weeks in combination with daily prednisone (5 mg twice a day) significantly prolonged overall survival compared with mitoxantrone plus prednisone in the TAX 327 phase III trial [3]. Based upon those results, docetaxel plus prednisone has become the standard initial regimen when chemotherapy is indicated for CRPC Methods: Inflammation-based markers, such as the Neutrophile/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), are widely available and inexpensive measurements that are easy to integrate into pretreatment evaluation. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of activated platelets is associated some types of cancer including ovarian, gastric cancer. We retrospectively evaluated the predictive impact of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and MPV as a marker for in men with progressive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) following docetaxel.Results: A significant correlation was not observed between NLR and PSA response. A significant correlation was not also observed between MPV and PSA response.There no correlation was found between MPV and NLR with total PSA level and response (p:0.355, p:0.673 respectively)Conclusion: . In our study; We didn’t show any correlation between MWP level, NLR ratio and response to Docetaxel therapy A significant correlation was not also observed between NLR , MPV and PSA response.

ObjectiveThe androgen receptor-targeting drugs abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide have shown positive results as treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC.MethodsWe retrieved relevant articles from PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE published before December 31, 2020. Eleven articles were initially selected, and four phase III, double-blind, randomized controlled trials of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide that involved 5199 patients with mCRPC were included. The end points were time to prostate-specific antigen progression (TTPP), according to the prostate-specific antigen working group criteria; overall survival (OS); and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).ResultsFour randomized, controlled clinical trials involving 5199 patients were included in this study. The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with placebo alone, abiraterone significantly improved OS (HR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.60-0.8, P&lt;0.00001), rPFS (HR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.57-0.71, P &lt; 0.00001), and TTPP (HR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.45-0.59, P &lt; 0.00001) in patients with mCRPC. Compared with placebo, enzalutamide significantly improved OS (HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.59-0.75, P&lt;0.00001), rPFS (HR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.29-0.37, P&lt; 0.00001), and TTPP (HR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.17-0.22, P &lt; 0.00001). An indirect comparison was performed to compare the efficacy of abiraterone and enzalutamide. The results showed that there was no significant difference between abiraterone and enzalutamide with regard to improving the OS of patients with mCRPC (HR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.854-1.242). Enzalutamide was superior to abiraterone with regard to improving rPFS in patients with mCRPC (HR=0.516, 95% CI: 0.438-0.608). With regard to improving TTPP, the efficacy of enzalutamide was better than that of abiraterone (HR=0.365, 95% CI: 0.303-0.441). In sAE, there was no difference between abiraterone and enzalutamide (P=0.21, I2 = 38%).ConclusionsCompared with placebo, both abiraterone and enzalutamide significantly prolonged OS, rPFS, and TTPP in patients with mCRPC. There was no difference in safety between abiraterone and enzalutamide. In addition, enzalutamide had better efficacy than abiraterone with regard to improving rPFS and TTPP but not OS, but the level of evidence was low. Therefore, a large direct comparison trial is needed to compare the efficacy of the two drugs.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, identifier (CRD42021226808)

Aim: Comparison of the efficacy/safety/health-related quality of life of apalutamide, enzalutamide and darolutamide in Phase III clinical trials involving patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer was performed. Materials & methods: Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed as well as conference abstracts reporting updated overall survival. Three pivotal trials were identified, SPARTAN (apalutamide), PROSPER (enzalutamide) and ARAMIS (darolutamide), and form the basis of this analysis. Results: All three drugs significantly prolonged metastasis-free survival, prostate-specific antigen response and overall survival versus placebo, and were generally well tolerated. Conclusion: Drug selection will likely be influenced by tolerability/safety and other factors, such as the propensity for drug–drug interactions and the presence of comorbidities, that affect the risk–benefit balance in individual patients.

Purpose Enzalutamide, a potent oral androgen receptor inhibitor, improves survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) before and after chemotherapy. Bicalutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen, is widely used to treat men with nonmetastatic or metastatic CRPC. The efficacy and safety of these drugs were compared in this randomized, double-blind, phase II study of men with CRPC. Patients and Methods A total of 396 men with nonmetastatic (n = 139) or metastatic (n = 257) CRPC were randomly assigned to enzalutamide 160 mg per day (n = 198) or bicalutamide 50 mg per day (n = 198). Androgen deprivation therapy was continued in both arms. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Enzalutamide reduced the risk of progression or death by 76% compared with bicalutamide (hazard ratio [HR], 0.24; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.32; P < .001). Median PFS was 19.4 months with enzalutamide versus 5.7 months with bicalutamide. Enzalutamide resulted in significant improvements in all key secondary end points: time to prostate-specific antigen progression (HR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.26; P < .001); proportion of patients with a ≥ 50% prostate-specific antigen response (81% v 31%; P < .001); and radiographic PFS in metastatic patients (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.50; P < .001). Beneficial effects with enzalutamide were observed in both nonmetastatic and metastatic subgroups. The observed adverse event profile was consistent with that from phase III enzalutamide trials. Conclusion Enzalutamide significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer progression or death compared with bicalutamide in patients with nonmetastatic or metastatic CRPC.

New Treatment

Men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer and a rapidly rising prostate-specific antigen level are at high risk for metastasis. Until recently there was no standard of treatment for this category of patients. A total of 1401 patients with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer and a prostate-specific antigen doubling time of 10 months or less underwent randomization to double-blind, phase III PROSPER trial. Patients were continuing androgen-deprivation therapy in combination with enzalutamide (at a dose of 160 mg) or placebo once daily. The median metastasis-free survival was 36.6 months in the enzalutamide group versus 14.7 months in the placebo group. Enzalutamide treatment resulted in a 71 % lower risk of radiographic progression or death than did placebo (hazard ratio 0.29; 95 % confidence interval 0.24 to 0.35; p <0.001). Adverse events were consistent with the established safety profile of enzalutamide.
