Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus docetaxel (D) versus ADT alone for hormone-naïve metastatic prostate cancer (PCa): Long-term analysis of the GETUG-AFU 15 phase III trial.
140 Background: ADT is standard treatment for metastatic PCa. Recently, the E3805 trial reported a survival benefit for (ADT+D) in high volume disease (HVD) patients, whereas the GETUG-15 trial did not demonstrate a survival improvement among a less selected group of patients (pts) with hormone-naïve metastatic PCa. We report an updated analysis of overall survival (OS) of the GETUG 15 trial and aligned the definition of HVD and low volume disease (LVD) subgroups. Methods: Long-termOS was analyzed in the intention-to-treat population (n=385 pts). Additionally, we retrospectively assessed the tumor volume as defined per E3805criteria in all patients enrolled in GETUG 15. Results: See Table. With a median follow-up of 82.9 months (95%CI [80.5-84.3]) (vs 50 months (95%CI [80.5-84.3] in the original analysis), 212 patients (55%) have died. The median OS is 46.5 [39.1-60.6] and 60.9 months [46.1-71.4] in the ADT and in the ADT + D arms, respectively (HR: 0.9 [95%CI: 0.7-1.2]). In HVD patients (n=183, 47.5%), median OS rates were 35.1 months [29.9-44.2] in the ADT alone arm and 39 months [28-52.6] in the ADT+D arm (HR: 0.8 [0.6-1.2]). Conclusions: With longer follow-up, the addition of docetaxel to ADT did not significantly improve OS in patients with hormone-naïve metastatic prostate cancer. In the retrospective analysis using aligned definition of volume of metastasis as E3805, the HVD outcomes were similar to E3805 for ADT alone and there was a non-significant 4 months increase in OS with ADT+D, in this underpowered subset.
