Abstract Background LATITUDE was a randomized, double-blind, international and phase 3 study of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone in patients with high-risk metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer. In the first interim analysis of LATITUDE (clinical cutoff date: 31 October 2016), significant prolongation in overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival (co-primary endpoints) was observed when compared with placebo. The results of the Japanese subgroup analysis of LATITUDE first interim analysis were consistent with those of the overall population. In this study, overall survival and safety results from the final analysis of the Japanese subgroup of the LATITUDE study are presented (clinical cutoff date: 15 August 2018). Methods Abiraterone acetate (1000 mg/day) and prednisone (5 mg/day) were administered orally in the abiraterone acetate plus prednisone group, and matching placebos in the placebo group. Results Of the 1199 patients included in LATITUDE, 70 constituted the Japanese subgroup (abiraterone acetate plus prednisone: n = 35, placebo: n = 35). Following a median (range) follow-up of 56.6 (2.5, 64.2) months, the median overall survival was not reached in both the treatment arms of the Japanese subgroup (hazard ratio: 0.61; 95% confidence interval: 0.27–1.42; nominal P = 0.2502). A total of 23 deaths (abiraterone acetate plus prednisone: 9 [25.7%], placebo group: 14 [40.0%]) were reported in Japanese subgroup. Grade 3/4 adverse events were reported in 24 (68.6%) and 9 (25.7%) patients in the abiraterone acetate plus prednisone and placebo groups, respectively. Conclusions In this Japanese subgroup analysis, addition of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone to androgen-deprivation therapy demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer. Survival benefits observed in the Japanese subgroup first interim analysis were sustained long-term and were consistent with the overall population.

Background. Osteoarthritis of the knee is the most common form of arthritis. Identifying effective and safe herbal formulations that are locally available is viewed as a priority for sustainable development in a region. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Thai herbal formulation-6 (THF-6) in comparison with oral diclofenac in patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods. This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, noninferiority trial randomly assigned patients with osteoarthritis of the knee to receive either THF-6 or diclofenac for four weeks. The primary outcome measure was the change from baseline in knee pain as measured by a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary outcome measures included knee stiffness, a stair climb test, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and safety parameters. Outcomes were assessed on a biweekly basis. Modified intention-to-treat (MITT) and perprotocol (PP) analyses were applied. Results. A total of 200 patients were enrolled of whom 175 (87.5%) were included in the MITT analysis and 153 (76.5%) in the PP analysis. The mean change in VAS pain did not differ between the two groups, and the upper limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for comparison between the two groups was within the prespecified margin of 10 mm for noninferiority (MITT analysis: mean difference = 0.86, 95% CI = -4.39 to 6.10, p = 0.748 ; PP analysis: mean difference = 1.98, 95% CI = -3.61 to 7.56, p = 0.486 ). Significant improvement was observed in all the efficacy parameters in both groups. Dyspepsia was the most common adverse event: 23 patients in the THF-6 group and 28 in the diclofenac group p = 0.417 . Conclusions. THF-6 offers an alternative to oral diclofenac for the short-term treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. It was shown to be noninferior to oral diclofenac in relieving knee pain. This trial is registered with ChiCTR-IPR-15007213.

Butorphanol (1 mg and 2 mg) and meperidine (40 mg and 80 mg), given intravenously, were evaluated for analgesic efficacy and safety in a double-blind randomized study employing 200 consenting pre-partum patients in moderate to severe pain during the late first stage of labour. Both drugs provided adequate relief of pain to the mothers. There was no significant difference in the rate of cervical dilation, the foetal heart rate, the Apgar score, pain relief or neonatal neurobehavioural scores between those receiving butorphanol and those receiving meperidine. Twenty-two mothers who received butorphanol and eleven who received meperidine nursed their infants with no adverse effects observed. Side-effects were generally infrequent in this study; however, more side-effects were reported by the patients and observed by the investigator in the meperidine-treated cases (13%) than in the cases treated with butorphanol (2%).

531 Background: Preclinical data suggest a key role for EGFR inhibition in delaying acquired resistance to ET in ER+ breast cancer (BC). Retrospective analyses of 2 Phase II studies suggested adding gefitinib to ET delayed PFS in ET naive (ETN) BC. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study (NCT01151215) was conducted to prospectively test the hypothesis that adding AZD8931, an inhibitor of EGFR, HER2 and HER3 signaling, to A would be beneficial in delaying endocrine resistance in an advanced ETN BC population. Methods: Post-menopausal women with ER+ and/or PR+, ETN, HER2-negative, advanced BC were randomized (1:1:1) to receive A (1 mg od) plus AZD8931 20 or 40 mg bd or placebo (P). The primary endpoint was PFS (ITT population). Data presented are from an interim analysis (data cutoff 31 Aug 2012; 39% pts had a progression event). Results: Between Jun 2010 and Jun 2012, 359 pts (median age 61 years) were randomized to A combined with AZD8931 20 mg (n=118), 40 mg (n=120) or P (n=121). At the interim analysis, median PFS in the AZD8931 20 mg, 40 mg and P arms was 10.9, 13.8 and 14.0 months, respectively; PFS HR (95% CI) for AZD8931 20 mg:P was 1.37 (0.91–2.06, P=0.135) and for AZD8931 40 mg:P was 1.16 (0.77–1.75, P=0.485). Deaths were reported for 20 (17%), 16 (13%) and 12 pts (10%) in the AZD8931 20 mg, 40 mg and P arms, respectively. Grade ≥3 AEs were reported for 22 (19%), 44 (37%) and 18 (15%) pts in the AZD8931 20 mg, 40 mg, and P arms, respectively, the most frequent being rash (0% vs 8% vs 2%), acneiform dermatitis (0% vs 7% vs 0%) and hypertension (3% vs 3% vs 2%). Serious AEs were reported for 12%, 14% and 9% pts in the AZD8931 20 mg, 40 mg and P arms, respectively, and discontinuation (of AZD8931 or P) due to an AE in 5%, 8% and 2% pts, respectively. Conclusions: Co-blockade of EGFR, HER2, HER3 in combination with aromatase inhibition does not appear to delay endocrine resistance to ETN BC. Based on the low probability of demonstrating superior efficacy with addition of AZD8931 to A and the overall risk/benefit, the study was closed at the recommendation of the IDMC and pts discontinued AZD8931. Clinical trial information: NCT01151215.
