Phase Ib study of apalutamide (APA) with abiraterone acetate (AA) and prednisone (P) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Update on safety and efficacy.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
173 Background: APA and AA target the androgenreceptor (AR) axis via different mechanisms and may have complementary activity in mCRPC. APA is an advanced AR antagonist that targets the AR ligand-binding domain with high affinity (Clegg. Cancer Res. 2012). APA prevents AR nuclear translocation, DNA binding, and transcription of AR gene targets. This phase 1b study evaluates potential PK interactions between APA and AA + P. Here we report antitumor activity and safety of APA in combination with AA + P from 57 pts versus 29 pts presented at ASCO 2015 (NCT02123758). Methods: Pts with progressive mCRPC and ECOG PS ≤ 2 received AA (1000 mg/d) + P (5 mg BID) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) with addition of APA (240 mg/d) on C1D8 in 28-day treatment (tmt) cycles. Efficacy assessment was based on RECIST 1.1 and PCWG2 criteria. Results: 57 pts started tmt on study; median tmt duration was 17 weeks. Median age was 70 years (range, 49-89) and median baseline PSA was 111 µg/L (range, 4-2597). Bone, nodal, and visceral disease were present in 50 (88%), 31 (54%), and 17 (30%) pts, respectively. 29 (51%), 29 (51%), and 23 (40%) pts were previously treated with a taxane, AA, or enzalutamide (ENZ), respectively. 47 pts discontinued tmt: disease progression (n = 39), consent withdrawal (n = 3), physician decision (n = 1), death (n = 1), and other (n = 3). In AA- and ENZ-naïve pts (n = 18), 67% had PSA decline ≥ 50%. In AA- or ENZ-treated pts (n = 39), 15% had PSA decline ≥ 50%. Most commonly reported ( > 10% of pts) drug-related AEs: fatigue (42%), diarrhea (21%), vomiting (21%), nausea (19%), hypokalemia (19%), decreased appetite (16%), hot flush (12%), abdominal pain (12%), and dysgeusia (11%). Grade ≥ 3 drug-related AEs reported in > 1 pt: fatigue (7%), hypokalemia (3.5%), hyponatremia (3.5%), and hypertension (3.5%). 1 pt discontinued study drug for grade 3 fatigue. Conclusions: Interim data indicate that 240 mg/d of APA with 1000 mg/d of AA + P has antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02123758.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
