Summary of Factors that may have Contributed to Different Results between GETUG-AFU 15 and CHAARTED • Study size/statistical power • Prognosis and staging definitions and disease risk/volume were different • ? Toxicity e.g. deaths and early discontinuations and the use of other subsequent therapies were different
Grade 3-5 Hematologic Toxicity from TAX327 in mCRPC vs. GETUG-AFU 15 vs. CHAARTED Toxicity TAX327 (%) GETUG-AFU 15 (%) CHAARTED (%) Neutropenia 32 32* 12 Febrile neutropenia 3 7* 6 Death 0.3 2.1 0.3^ *After 56% accrual and 4 treatment-related deaths, DSMC recommended GCSF days 5-10 with Grade ¾ neutropenia rate decline from 41% to 15%, febrile neutropenia decline from 8% to 6% and no more deaths. ^2% of deaths were unknown Key Conclusion: Tough to interpret toxicity data with incomplete information on growth factors and prophylactic antibiotics, but, is there some a sense that docetaxel may surprisingly be more toxic in mHSPC?

Pharmacokinetics • Franke, RM et al. examined the relative clearance of docetaxel in 10 non-castrated and 20 castrated men with prostate cancer. • Docetaxel pharmacokinetics were significantly altered in the castrated men with an approximately 100% increase in docetaxel clearance and accordingly two-fold reduction in AUC as compared to the men who were not castrated. • Human and rat-model data were presented to suggest a mechanism for this difference in clearance as increased hepatic uptake of docetaxel via increased anion transporter expression in the setting of castration. (8) • There has been suggestion in CHAARTED/STAMPEDE of greater toxicity with Docetaxel in the castration sensitive state but perhaps greater drug exposure also suggests potential for greater efficacy.
Docetaxel PK varies with Castration State • 10 non-castrate and 20 castrate men with similar demographics • Clearance of docetaxel in castrate men was 100% increased with 2 fold reduction in AUC • Erythromycin breath test indicated hepatic CYP3A4 activity, for docetaxel metabolism, was not different • Castrate rats have higher AUC of docetaxel in liver compared to intact animals 50% decrease in docetaxel clearance associated with >430% increase in odds of grade ¾ neutropenia* Franke RM et al. J Clin Oncol 2010; 28:4562-67; *Bruno R et al. J Clin Oncol 1998; 16:187-96.
What are the Implications of these PK Differences? Between Different Trials • May explain some of the greater hematologic toxicity but also survival benefit observed in castration-sensitive compared to castration- resistant trials • Why was there greater hematologic toxicity in GETUG-AFU 15 compared to CHAARTED? • How many patients were non-castrate vs. castrate in each trial? • GETUG-AFU 15: 47% initiated ADT within 15 days of enrollment • CHAARTED: initiated ADT median 1.1 months to enrollment • How much GCSF was used in each trial?
Question ? • If toxicity is greater with the use of Docetaxol in the pre- castrate state might not efficacy also be ? • We need a trial.
But What About Docetaxel Before Medical Castration? The Rationale???? Does one exist
Prostate Cancer Cell Lines • In vitro studies of androgen dependent prostate cancer cell lines: Increased sensitivity to taxane-mediated cell death in response to androgen stimulation of the androgen receptor. • In one series, androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cells showed decreased survival when cultured with steroid hormones and paclitaxel (25% survival) versus cells depleted of steroid hormone and then cultured with paclitaxel (55-60% survival). • The mechanism for this finding was outlined as likely increased caspace- dependent apoptosis in the presence of p53 activation and cellular proliferation.(9) 7.

Cancer research. 2006;66(24):11998-2008.
• In a separate trial in LNCaP-bearing immunodeficient mice, tumor volume and tumor apoptosis were measured in response to : • castration alone, docetaxel alone, both interventions administered concurrently, and both interventions administered in different sequences. • Docetaxel administered prior to castration yielded the longest delay in tumor growth of the studied interventions including a statistically significant improvement as compared to castration followed by docetaxel. (p=0.0003) Tang Y, Khan MA, et al. Docetaxel followed by castration improves outcomes in LNCaP prostate cancer-bearing severe combined immunodeficient mice.

Breast Cancer • Hormone-receptor positive breast adenocarcinoma is also responsive to hormonal manipulation and cytotoxic chemotherapy. • As opposed to prostate cancer, the established paradigm in breast cancer is administering cytotoxic chemotherapy independently from hormonal manipulation. • A randomized phase III trial of 1558 postmenopausal women – treated with chemo followed by daily tamoxifen for 5 years • 9 years follow-up- sequential therapy showed a strong trend toward improved DFS with HR of 0.84 (95% CI 0.70-1.01; p = 0.061). 7.

Human Trials • Hussain et al. Treated 39 men with normal testosterone and rising PSA post prostatectomy or radiation with up to six cycles of docetaxel 70 mg/m2 every three weeks.(14) • Chemotherapy was followed by total androgen blockade (LHRH agonist and bicalutamide for 12-20 months). • Serum PSA decreased > 50% in 48.5% and > 75% in 20% of patients with docetaxel alone, • Only one patient had increased PSA at the end of the docetaxel therapy. 12. Hussain A, Dawson N, Amin P, Engstrom C, Dorsey B, Siegel E, et al. Docetaxel followed by hormone therapy in men experiencing increasing prostate-specific antigen after primary local treatments for prostate cancer. Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. 2005;23(12):2789-96.
Hussain et al. continued… • The majority of patients had PSA progression after stopping ADT • 5/33 (15%) patients - undetectable PSA at a median of 18.9 months after stopping ADT. • 7 of the men on this study had radiographic evidence of metastatic disease at enrollment • 3 were in the group who continued to have undetectable PSA for a lengthy period of time despite regaining non-castrate level testosterone post-ADT.
A PHASE II STUDY OF DOCETAXEL BEFORE MEDICAL CASTRATION WITH DEGARELIX IN PATIENTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED METASTATIC PROSTATIC ADENOCARCINOMA. N = 50 patients Enrolling men with newly diagnosed treatment naïve metastatic prostate cancer of all volume statuses. >>> S 8 CT Primary Endpoint – Proportion of men who maintain a PSA < 0.2 ng/ml at 40 weeks on study(7 months ADT) Additional Endpoints – Toxicity, PSA response to Docetaxel alone, time to development of castration resistance, overall survival, correlating genomics with response.
Study Design • Single-arm phase II interventional trial treating n=50 patients • Newly diagnosed metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer with 4 cycles Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 without castration followed by 2 cycles docetaxel concurrent with degarelix and then continuing degarealix alone out to 12 months. • MUSC and the Ralph H. Johnson Charleston V.A. Medical Center. • Recently opened at University of Maryland, • Goal - enroll all patients in 24 months.
Accrual Ongoing • 27 patients enrolled to date at the Medical University of South Carolina(21), Ralph H. Johnson Charleston VAMC(5), and University of Maryland(1) • 74% with high volume disease(CHAARTED criteria) • 60% Caucasian, 40% African American
Issues • Is it a good idea to use these agents up front. • Will we negate the benefit of subsequent therapies – earlier resistance or • Perhaps delay the need for their introduction. • Docetaxel response rate was lower and survival much less in CRPC. • Docetaxel much better tolerated in fitter younger pts. • Should it be reserved for high volume metastatic disease. • Cost must be a factor for all these strategies.
