Tolerability of abiraterone (abi) combined with olaparib (ola) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Further results from the phase III PROpel trial.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
5019 Background: The Phase III PROpel (NCT03732820) trial demonstrated at interim analysis a statistically significant clinical benefit from combining ola + abi in the first-line (1L) mCRPC setting vs placebo (pbo) + abi. Benefit was seen irrespective of a pt’s homologous recombination repair mutation (HRRm) status; median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) 24.8 for ola + abi vs 16.6 months for pbo + abi (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54–0.81; P<0.0001). The safety profile of ola + abi was shown to be consistent with that for the individual drugs. We report additional interim safety analysis from PROpel. Methods: Eligible pts were ≥18 years with mCRPC, had received no prior chemotherapy or next-generation hormonal agent treatment at mCRPC stage, and were unselected by HRRm status. Pts were randomized 1:1 to abi (1000 mg qd) plus prednisone/prednisolone with either ola (300 mg bid) or pbo. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed rPFS. Safety was assessed in all pts receiving ≥1 dose of study treatment by adverse event (AE) reporting (CTCAE v4.03). Results: 398 pts received ola + abi and 396 pbo + abi (safety analysis set). At data cut-off (July 30, 2021), median total duration of exposure for ola was 17.5 vs 15.7 months for pbo, and for abi 18.2 months in the ola + abi arm and 15.7 in the pbo + abi arm. Anemia (n=183) was the most common AE in the ola + abi arm, and 34% of these 183 events were managed by dose interruption, 23% by dose reduction, and 8% resulted in treatment discontinuation. Anemia and pulmonary embolism (PE) were the only Grade ≥3 AEs in ≥5% of pts (anemia: ola + abi, 15.1% vs pbo + abi, 3.3%; PE: 6.5% vs 1.8%, respectively). Most PEs were detected incidentally on radiographic imaging (69.2% and 71.4% in the ola + abi and pbo + abi arms, respectively) and no pts discontinued. More pts in the ola + abi arm experienced venous thromboembolism (Table). Arterial thromboembolism and cardiac failure AEs were balanced between the treatment arms. No AE of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia was reported in either treatment arm. COVID-19 was reported more frequently with ola + abi (8.3% vs 4.5%). Conclusions: PROpel demonstrated a predictable safety profile for ola + abi given in combination to pts with 1L mCRPC unselected by HRRm status. AEs of cardiac failure and arterial thromboembolism were reported at similar frequency in both treatment arms. The majority of PEs were asymptomatic. The safety profile of abiraterone was not adversely impacted by its combination with olaparib. Clinical trial information: NCT03732820. [Table: see text]

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.
