Abiraterone & Subsequent Enzalutamide Abiraterone & Subsequent Enzalutamide Therapy in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Retrospective Study Shabnam Rehman, PGY3 SUNY at Buffalo-Catholic Health System Roberto Pili, MD Roswell Park Cancer Institute Background • Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) or castration, either medical or surgical, is the gold standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer • After 1-3 years these tumors become resistant to ADT- Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Definition Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is defined as 2 consecutive rises in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels obtained at intervals of greater than 2 weeks and/or documented disease progression based on findings from computed tomography scan and/or bone scan, bone pain or obstructive voiding symptoms with castrate levels of testosterone (≤50ng/dl) • Mechanisms of castration resistance: - AR amplification/overexpression - gain-of-function AR mutations (mostly in the ligand-binding domain) - intracrine androgen production - overexpression of AR cofactors (sensitizing cells to low levels of androgens) - ligand independent AR activation by cytokines or growth factors • Development of novel agents like Abiraterone and Enzalutamide targeting AR signaling at different stages Montgomery RB, Mostaghel EA, Vessella R, et al.

Statistical analysis • Descriptive statistics and comparisons between the two groups were done • Overall survival, disease progression and PSA response on treatment evaluated • All analysis was conducted in SAS v9.3 (Cary, NC) at a significance level of 0.05 Results Variable AE ATE P Value Median Age 63.5 yrs (51-73) 62.5 yrs (57-77) 0.52 Histology Adenocarcinoma Gleason score >7 10/14 5/9 Median Baseline PSA 30.23 (0.42-292.96) 38.79 (3.1-578.46) 0.28 at the start of Aberaterone Median Abiraterone 4.25 months(1.15-20.7) 3.22 (0.62-13.34) 0.67 Treatment Median Enzalutamide 3.27 months(0.79-9.36) 2.66(0.99-5.52) 0.079 Treatment Median time interval 0.11 months 6.6months 0.001 (AE: Abiraterone Enzalutamide ; ATE: Abiraterone Chemotherapy Enzalutamide) Treatment specific outcomes Outcomes AE (n=14) ATE (n=9) P-value Patients with adverse effects on 11 (79%) 7 (78%) 1.000 Enzalutamide Reason for stopping Enzalutamide Toxicity 0 1 (11%) Progression 11 (79%) 4 (45%) 0.177 Death 2 (14%) 3 (33%) Ongoing Enzalutamide treatment 1 (7%) 1 (11%) 1.000 (AE: Abiraterone followed by Enzalutamide; ATE: Abiraterone followed by chemotherapy & then Enzalutamide) • During Enzalutamide treatment, 14.3% patients in AE (without intervening treatment) compared to 11.1% in ATE (with intervening treatment) group achieved 30% reduction in serum PSA levels (p=1.000) • The median time to achieve a maximum PSA decline on Enzalutamide, was 2.35 and 2.8 months for AE and ATE respectively (p=1.000). 1a.

Conclusion • Longer time interval and/or intervening cancer treatment between Abiraterone and subsequent Enzalutamide therapy did not favorably alter the disease progression in mCRPC • Prolonged Abiraterone treatment, irrespective of the intervening time interval, was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of progression on later Enzalutamide therapy Now what to do? • Challenge to the physician : the best sequence and timing of each drug in mCRPC patients • Very few retrospective studies show modest activity for both Abiraterone followed by Enzalutamide or vice-versa with > 30% PSA response 11-40% Loriot Y, Bianchini D, Ileana E, et al.

The data included relate to the body fluid concentrations of substances in normal or therapeutic situations, concentrations in fluids and tissues in instances of toxicity and the known metabolic fate of these substances in man. Brief mention is made of specific analytical procedures that are applicable to the determination of each substance and its active metabolites in biological specimens. It is expected that such information will be of particular interest and use to toxicologists, pharmacologists, clinical chemists and clinicians who have need either to conduct an analytical search for these materials in specimens of human origin or to interpret 30 Amberwood Parkway analytical data resulting from such a search.

White to off-white oblong soft capsules (approximately 20 mm x 9 mm) imprinted with “ENZ” in black ink on one side. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Xtandi is indicated for: • the treatment of adult men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (see section 5.1). • the treatment of adult men with high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) (see section 5.1). • the treatment of adult men with metastatic CRPC who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic after failure of androgen deprivation therapy in whom chemotherapy is not yet clinically indicated (see section 5.1). • the treatment of adult men with metastatic CRPC whose disease has progressed on or after docetaxel therapy. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Treatment with enzalutamide should be initiated and supervised by specialist physicians experienced in the medical treatment of prostate cancer. Posology The recommended dose is 160 mg enzalutamide (four 40 mg soft capsules) as a single oral daily dose. Medical castration with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue should be continued during treatment of patients not surgically castrated. If a patient misses taking Xtandi at the usual time, the prescribed dose should be taken as close as possible to the usual time.

  • Preferred Drug List 4-Tier
    Preferred Drug List 4-Tier 21NVHPN13628 Four-Tier Base Drug Benefit Guide Introduction As a member of a health plan that includes outpatient prescription drug coverage, you have access to a wide range of effective and affordable medications. The health plan utilizes a Preferred Drug List (PDL) (also known as a drug formulary) as a tool to guide providers to prescribe clinically sound yet cost-effective drugs. This list was established to give you access to the prescription drugs you need at a reasonable cost. Your out- of-pocket prescription cost is lower when you use preferred medications. Please refer to your Prescription Drug Benefit Rider or Evidence of Coverage for specific pharmacy benefit information. The PDL is a list of FDA-approved generic and brand name medications recommended for use by your health plan. The list is developed and maintained by a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of actively practicing primary care and specialty physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Patient needs, scientific data, drug effectiveness, availability of drug alternatives currently on the PDL and cost are all considerations in selecting "preferred" medications. Due to the number of drugs on the market and the continuous introduction of new drugs, the PDL is a dynamic and routinely updated document screened regularly to ensure that it remains a clinically sound tool for our providers. Reading the Drug Benefit Guide Benefits for Covered Drugs obtained at a Designated Plan Pharmacy are payable according to the applicable benefit tiers described below, subject to your obtaining any required Prior Authorization or meeting any applicable Step Therapy requirement.
