2019 NCCN Guidelines for mHSPC
- Based on results of clinical trials, for patients with mHSPC, consider adding
to ADT: ‒ Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles
- Patients with high-volume disease derive greater benefit
‒ Abiraterone acetate + steroid ‒ Apalutamide ‒ Enzalutamide
11
- Disease progression despite castrate levels of testosterone (<50 ng/mL)
- Heterogeneous—can be symptomatic or asymptomatic, with or without
metastases
- Affects 10% to 20% of men with prostate cancer within 5 years of diagnosis
‒ Before recent therapeutic advances, ≥50% of these patients would have died within 3 years
- Natural history can involve progressive decline in health-related QoL
- Metastasis-free survival (MFS) is a new, reasonable endpoint for both
clinical trials and clinical discussions with patients
Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
QoL = quality of life. Anantharaman A, et al. Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2017;17:625-633; Beaver JA, et al. N Engl J Med. 2018;378:2458-2460; Nussbaum N, et al. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2016;19:111-121.

Typical Progression of CRPC
Adapted with permission from Anantharaman A, et al. Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2017;17:625-633.
Localized/locally advanced prostate cancer Definitive therapy Biochemical recurrence mHSPC mCRPC nmCRPC
Rising PSA Start ADT Criterion 2: Rising PSA despite castrate levels of testosterone Criterion 1: Identification of metastases Rising PSA despite castrate levels of testosterone Identification of metastases Both criteria met
13
- CRPC with no clinical or radiologic evidence of metastases
- Newer imaging techniques have greater sensitivity (eg, 18F-fluorocholine
- r PSMA-targeted PET)
‒ May reveal metastases earlier
- PSA testing every 4 to 6 months is advised
- Treatment is recommended for men with PSADT ≤10 months
- Until recently, no approved drugs were available for nmCRPC
Nonmetastatic CRPC

Case Study 1: Earl, 69 Years Old
- Earl has mild COPD and occasional arrhythmias
‒ No family history of cancer
- He underwent radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer 4 years ago
- Earl experienced biochemical recurrence as evidenced by increasing PSA
- Because of previous radiotherapy, he was not considered a candidate for surgery
- He was started on ADT 1 year ago
15
Case Study (cont’d): Earl’s Test Results
- PSA increased from 6 ng/mL to 14 ng/mL, with PSADT of 8 months
‒ Testosterone level: 23 ng/dL ‒ No evidence of metastases on CT or bone scan, no bone pain ‒ No lymph node masses detected
- Now diagnosed with nmCRPC

20
2019 NCCN Guidelines for nmCRPC
- In addition to continuing ADT to maintain castrate serum levels of testosterone
(<50 ng/dL): ‒ For men whose PSADT is ≤10 months: apalutamide, darolutamide, enzalutamide, or other secondary hormone therapy ‒ For men whose PSADT is >10 months: observation or other secondary hormone therapy

21
Case Conclusion
- Earl is taking apalutamide 240 mg/day and continuing ADT
- Bone health is being monitored closely
- Disease progression has plateaued
‒ PSA = 3.5 ng/mL
- Will continue serial PSA monitoring
- Will undergo imaging only if new symptoms develop or PSA level increases
22
- 72% increase from 2004 to 2013, even as incidence of low-risk prostate
cancer declined ‒ Trend started before USPSTF recommendation for reduced routine early screening so is not associated solely with that reduction
- 5-year survival rate: ~30% vs nearly 100% for nonmetastatic disease
- Approximately 90% of men with mCRPC have bone metastases
- Treatment evolving rapidly
‒ Novel therapies improve outcomes but increase treatment complexity

Case Study 2: Eli, 72 Years Old
- Eli has prehypertension and well-controlled diabetes
‒ Family history: mother had breast cancer
- Diagnosed 6 years ago with de novo metastatic prostate cancer, with a PSA level
- f 45 ng/mL
- Has high-volume disease: metastasis to multiple bone sites and to lymph nodes
24
Case Study (cont’d): Eli’s Initial Treatment
- Started on ADT and received 6 cycles of docetaxel
‒ His PSA level became undetectable but began to increase 2 years after he started treatment
- Presents with asymptomatic mCRPC
‒ Reports no pain ‒ Imaging unchanged since completion of chemotherapy
25

Case Study (cont’d)
- Eli is treated with enzalutamide, which was chosen because of the extent of his
disease and to avoid steroids, which are necessary with abiraterone but are contraindicated for patients with diabetes
- Subsequently treated with radium-223
- After an initial decrease in PSA, his mCRPC progresses, with a PSA increase
to 38 ng/mL, and his use of opioids for pain has become more regular

Role of Genetic Testing
- Germline mutations have raised the issue of inheritable cancer risk
- No validated biomarkers available; several are being investigated
- Every patient with prostate cancer should be considered for genetic testing
and possible genetic counseling
- Patients should be counseled before genetic testing
36
- PTEN loss may indicate increased risk of
disease progression
- AR-V7 leads to loss of binding in the AR
‒ May indicate resistance to ARSIs but not to taxanes
- DNA repair gene mutations
‒ Seen in approximately ¼ of patients with mCRPC ‒ Promising: BRCA1/BRCA2
Biomarkers: Examples of Potential Utility
AR-V7 = androgen receptor variant 7; PTEN = phosphatase and tensin homolog. Connors LM. Clin J Oncol Nurs. 2019;23:32-35; NCCN Guidelines. Prostate cancer. www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/default.aspx. Accessed Mar 24, 2020.

- Docetaxel (first-generation taxane)
‒ Until 2010, only approved drug to improve OS for mCRPC ‒ Appropriate for castrate-sensitive disease in select patients
- Cabazitaxel (next-generation taxane)
‒ Improves OS among docetaxel-pretreated patients with mCRPC ‒ Improves QoL; reduces pain through 10 treatment cycles ‒ Approved at lower dosage (20 mg/m2) in 2017 for patients with mCRPC previously treated with docetaxel ‒ Likely to move up in sequencing

- Optimal sequencing not
established (sample shown)
- Treatment pathway is
unique for each patient
- Cross-resistance between
abiraterone and enzalutamide
- Need to identify molecular
subtypes for more rational sequencing

PROfound Trial: Phase 3 Study of Olaparib vs Enzalutamide or Abiraterone for mCRPC With HRR Gene Alterations
ATM = ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene product; BICR = blinded independent central radiology; NHA = new hormonal agent; ORR = objective response rate; TTPP = time to PSA progression. Hussain M, et al. ESMO 2019 Congress. Abstract LBA12_PR.
Key Eligibility Criteria mCRPC with disease progression on prior NHA, eg, abiraterone
- r enzalutamide
Alterations in ≥1 of any qualifying gene with a direct or indirect role in HRR
2:1 Randomization Open Label
Cohort A: BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM N = 245 Cohort B: Other alterations N = 142
Upon BICR progression, physician’s choice patients were allowed to cross over to olaparib
Physician’s Choice n = 83 Olaparib 300 mg bid n = 162 Physician’s Choice n = 48 Olaparib 300 mg bid n = 94 Endpoints Primary:
- rPFS in Cohort A
Secondary:
- rPFS in Cohorts
A & B
- ORR in Cohort A
- TTPP in
Cohort A
- OS in Cohort A
42
- Patients with mCRPC + HRR
alterations who progressed on prior abiraterone + prednisone and/or enzalutamide had significantly improved rPFS and ORR vs physician’s choice of either enzalutamide or abiraterone + prednisone
- Favorable trend for OS was
- bserved despite crossover by a
large proportion of patients initially treated with physician’s choice hormonal therapy

Case Conclusion
- Eli receives 20 mg/m2 of cabazitaxel every 3 weeks
- His blood pressure and neutrophil count are monitored regularly
- At the end of first treatment cycle:
‒ PSA has decreased to 7 ng/mL ‒ He reports decreased pain ‒ Bone scans show stable lesions and no new lesions ‒ Blood pressure has not increased
45
- Patient and clinician perceptions of AEs may
differ: Communication is key
- Monitor and manage AEs to optimize
adherence and treatment benefit
- High costs of some treatments may make
them unattainable for some patients and/or affect adherence ‒ Investigate financial assistance programs
