Study on Enzalutamide and Flutamide in Patients With Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Astellas Pharma Inc206 enrolled

Overview

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy with enzalutamide + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and the combination therapy with flutamide + ADT in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer who had relapsed during combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy with bicalutamide and ADT. This study also investigated the order of alternative antiandrogen therapy (AAT) by changing the 1st line medication after relapse of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time to PSA Progression With 1st Line AAT (TTPP1)

TTPP1 was defined as the period from the date of randomization to the date of PSA progression in the 1st line AAT period. PSA progression was defined according to the consensus guidelines of prostate cancer clinical trials working group 2 (PCWG2). For participants with PSA declines at week 13, the PSA progression date was defined as the date that a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the nadir were documented, which was confirmed by a second consecutive value obtained 3 or more weeks later. For participants with no PSA decline at week 13, the PSA progression date was defined as the date that a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the baseline were documented. Time to event analysis was performed using kaplan-meier (KM) estimates.

Time frame: From date of randomization to the date of PSA progression in the 1st line AAT period (Up to 38 months)

Secondary Outcomes

Time to PSA Progression With 2nd Line AAT (TTPP2)

TTPP2 was defined as the period from day 1 of the 2nd line AAT to the date of PSA progression with the 2nd line AAT. PSA progression was defined according to the consensus guidelines of PCWG2. For participants with PSA declines at week 13, the PSA progression date was defined as the date that a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the nadir were documented, which was confirmed by a second consecutive value obtained 3 or more weeks later. For participants with no PSA decline at week 13, the PSA progression date was defined as the date that a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the baseline were documented. Time to event analysis was performed using kaplan-meier estimates.

Time frame: From date of randomization to the date of PSA progression in 2nd line AAT (Up to 38 months)

Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least 50 or 90 Percent (%) Reduction From Baseline and Up To Week 38 in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response at 1st Line AAT

PSA response was defined as PSA decreased by at least 50% or 90% from baseline when at least 3 weeks passed after the lowest PSA decreased by at least 50% or 90% from baseline in the 1st line AAT period after baseline. Data was reported per each disease stage (M0/N0, M0/N1, M1). 1) M0/N0: No distant metastasis and no lymph node metastasis. 2) M0/N1: Without distant metastasis, but with metastasis in lymph nodes distal to the aortic bifurcation. 3) M1: With distant metastasis (including metastasis in lymph nodes proximal to the aortic bifurcation).
