2 Setting the stage 1. Metastatic vs non-metastatic 2. Hormone-naive prostate cancer CRPC: castration-resistant prostate cancer Silberstein JL et al. Transl Androl Urol 2013

3 What will not be discussed Pathology Localized prostate cancer PSA relapse after localized treatment Non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer

4 Metastatic prostate cancer Hormone-naive Castration resistant Supportive treatments

5 Metastatic Prostate Ca until 2010 mcrpc ADT (androgen deprivation) 2 ADT Docetaxel

6 Metas. Hormone-naive PCa: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) Standard first line treatment for all patients with advanced prostate cancer Response rate: 80-90% of patients Median progression free survival: months Important questions: Start of ADT? at time of diagnosis of mets Antiandrogen monotherapy? less effective Complete androgen blockade? generally no Intermittent ADT? less effective NEW 2014: early docetaxel?

7 Docetaxel in hormone-naive PCa CHAARTED study, ASCO pts, randomized phase III; ECOG-SWOG 60% with high volume extent 4 bone mets ( 1 outside spine/pelvis), visceral mets ADT vs ADT + docetaxel 75mg/m2 6 cycles Start within 120 days; no prednisone OS high volume : 49 vs 32 Monate (HR 0.60) ADT + Docetaxel new standard if: Fit for docetaxel High volume according to definition Start within 3 months of diagnosis Sweeny et al. Abstract LBA2 ASCO 2014

8 Met.Castration-resistant PCa: mcrpc Definition: progression of disease on castrate levels of testosterone (measure testosterone!) continue castration (lifelong) Evaluation: Disease burden: extent, visceral mets Disease dynamic: PSA DT, LDH, Pathology Symptomatic Time on prior ADT

22 Resistance mechanisms Castration resistance Cross-resistance Abi-Enz Cross-resistance Taxane Abi/Enza

23 Mechanisms for castration resistance Possible cause for Abi-Enza cross resistance Abiraterone Enzalutamide Seruga B et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol 2011

24 Abi Enza Cross Resistance cave: small retrospective analyses; post-docetaxel Enza Abi PSA RR 3-8% PFS 3-4mts OS 7-11 mts Noonan Ann Oncol 2013;24: Loriot Annals of Onc 2013;24: Abi Enza PSA RR 25 30% PFS 4mts OS 7 mts Schrader Eur Urol 2013

25 Cross resistance: Taxane Abi/Enza? Thadani-Mulero M et al. Cancer Res 2012;72:

26 Possible treatment choices First line options Abiraterone Enzalutamide Docetaxel Radium (bone mets only) Trial Second line options Docetaxel-naive Docetaxel All other options not tested/registered Prior docetaxel Cabazitaxel Abiraterone Enzalutamide Radium 223 (bone mets) Trial

27 Decision aids for first line treatment No predictive (bio-)markers Possible clinical factors Duration of response to primary ADT Tumour load: Visceral metastases, Symptoms Possible patient factors: Age, PS, co-morbidities, co-medication Account for possible cross resistance (?)

28 Response to primary ADT: an important prognostic marker SWOG 9346 Hussain M et al. J Clin Oncol 2006;24: Angelergues A et al. ASCO GU 2014?Also a predictive marker: novel hormone agents less effective?

29 Importance of monitoring Best benefit for patient: use all available options Change of treatment: not too early not too late PSA Measurements: Monthly, BUT : Cautious interpretation in first 12 weeks PSA only no reason for change CT und Szintigraphy: Generally every 12 weeks, consider prolongation of interval in asymptomatic pts and excellent PSA responders MRI Long-Spine At baseline in case of extensive bone disease and very early in case of symptoms

30 What about combinations? No proven benefit over sequential treatment Good candidates + ongoing trials: Enzalutamide plus abiraterone Radium plus abiraterone or enzalutamide Enzalutamide + taxane Abiraterone + taxane Beware: Radium + docetaxel: need to dose reduce docetaxel

31 Proportion of Subjects Without SRE Bone health: Denosumab vs Zoledronat in mcrpc HR 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71, 0.95) P = (Non-inferiority) P = (Superiority) 1.00 Denosumab Zoledronic acid 0.75 No change: -Overall survival -Progression free survival 0.50 Inclusion criteria mcrpc Bone metastases Study Month Don t forget Calcium + Vit D! Fizazi K et al. Lancet 2011;377:

32 Prolongation of time to SRE with new treatments Radium 223 Parker et al ASCO Monate MDV3100 DeBono et al ASCO Monate

33 Take home messages Define disease setting before taking decisions Met. Hormon-naive PCa: ADT Consider Docetaxel for extensive disease Met. Castration-resistant PCa: Sequential treatment: but sequence not defined Cross resistance: not complete but be aware Treat as long as possible: but switch early enough Interdisciplinary management and TRIALS
