1 Should we use Docetaxel in hormone- naïve prostate cancer? Karim Fizazi, MD, PhD Institut Gustave Roussy Villejuif, France

3 Docetaxel improves Overall Survival in CRPC (2004) True but: - Benefit is limited (HR=0.76; median: 2-3 months) - Not all patients can receive it (too old, too sick) Tannock IF, et al: NEJM 351: , 2004

4 Incidence of de novo metastatic prostate cancer 5-30% <5% 70% Wu JN, Cancer 2014; 120:

5 Metastatic hormone- naïve prostate cancer: 2 scenarios Local cancer PSA failure No salvage hormonal therapy Scenario 1: quite rare: - 27% in Chaarted - 28% in GETUG 15 Metastatic hormone- naïve prostate cancer De Novo Scenario 2: more frequent: - 73% in Chaarted - 72% in GETUG 15

6 What are the data?

7 Three available phase III trials: GETUG 15, Chaarted and Stampede METASTATIC HORMONE-NAÏVE PROSTATE CANCER ARM A: ADT + docetaxel 75mg/m2/21 d x 6/9 cycles MAIN STRATIFICATION FACTORS: Extent of disease ECOG PS Prior Adjuvant ADT RA ND OM IZE ARM B: ADT (androgen deprivation therapy alone) GETUG 15 n=385 Accrual: Chaarted n= 790 Accrual:

8 Docetaxel in HSPC: Clinical PFS is improved GETUG 15: Chaarted: Median: 15 vs 23 months Median: 19.8 vs 32.7 months HR: 0.75 [ ] p=0.015 HR=0.49 ( ) (<0.0001) Gravis G, Lancet Oncol 2013; 14: Sweeney C, N Engl J Med 2015

11 Patient s price: What is the price to pay for this clinical benefit? Classical docetaxel toxicity Toxicity- related deaths: 3/455 (0.7%) Society: Docetaxel=generic Large magnitude of clinical/survival benefit Likely very cost- effective

15 Some patients with metastatic hormone- sensitive prostate cancer may not be willing/are too frail to receive docetaxel

16 PEACE-1: European Phase III Trial of Abiraterone and local RXT in patients with de novo metastatic prostate cancer Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) Patients with newly diagnosed (hormone naïve) metastatic CaP 916 patients planned R A N D O M I Z E D ADT + Abiraterone 1000mg Prednisone 5mg BID ADT + Local radiotherapy Co-primary endpoints: OS and PFS (HR: 0.75) ADT + Local radiotherapy + Abiraterone-Pred Study sponsor: Unicancer NCT

23 PEACE-2: European Phase III Trial of Cabazitaxel and Pelvic irradiation in patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer Pts with high-risk localized CaP: at least 2 of the following criteria: Gleason 8 T3 PSA>20 ng/ml R A N D O M I Z E D N= 1050 pts planned Study sponsor: Unicancer Planned accrual duration: 4 years Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) x 3 y + RXT (prostate) ADT + RXT (Pelvis) ADT + Cabazitaxel x 4 cycles + RXT (prostate) ADT + Cabazitaxel x 4 cycles + RXT (Pelvis) Primary end point: cpfs (HR: 070) Secondary endpoints: PSA response at 3 months bpfs Metastases-free survival CaP-specific survival OS Acute/Lg term tolerance QoL Biomarkers (biopsy) NCT

24 Chemotherapy combined with ADT for metastatic hormone- sensitive prostate cancer? YES, New standard of care! (for fit patients) Next question: should we use taxanes even earlier in patients with localized CaP and a high risk of relapse?
