• High- Vol DZ (513) 51.2 VS 34.4 mts ,
• Mortality Risk Reduction- 36% p=0.001,
• Median Overall survival benefit from chemotherapy was 16.8 mts,
• Low volume disease - no evidence of improved survival when docetaxel was
  added,
• Prior local therapy: Docetaxel –no survival benefit in low volume pts but a non
  significant survival benefit was reported in the high volume subgroup (median
  survival)-66.9 vs 51.7 mts.
• Results - benefit was more evident in high vs low volume subgroups and burden
  of metastases determined by conventional imaging may help select pts for this
  strategy.

    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?

                                                                                                Tannock IF et al. N Engl J Med 2004; 351:1502-12.
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

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)

       cancer cells to taxane-based cytotoxic insult. 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)

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).

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.

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.

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.
