Abstract
138 Background: Prognostic models require updating to reflect contemporary medical practice. In a post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PREVAIL trial (enzalutamide vs placebo), we identified prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) in chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC. Methods: Patients were randomly divided 2:1 into training (n = 1159) and testing (n = 550) sets. Using the training set, 23 predefined candidate prognostic factors (including treatment) were analyzed in a multivariable Cox model with stepwise procedures and in a penalized Cox proportional hazards model using the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty (data cutoff June 1, 2014). A multivariable model predicting OS was developed using the training set; the predictive accuracy was assessed in the testing set using time-dependent area under the curve (tAUC). The testing set was stratified based on risk score tertiles (low, intermediate, high), and OS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Results: Demographics, disease characteristics, and OS were balanced between the training and testing sets; median OS was 32.7 months for both datasets. There were no enzalutamide treatment-prognostic factor interactions (predictors). The final multivariable model included 11 prognostic factors: prostate-specific antigen, treatment, hemoglobin, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, liver metastases, time from diagnosis to randomization, lactate dehydrogenase, ≥ 10 bone metastases, pain, albumin, and alkaline phosphatase. The tAUC was 0.74 in the testing set. Median (95% confidence interval [CI]) OS for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups (testing set) were not yet reached (NYR) (NYR–NYR), 34.2 months (31.5–NYR), and 21.1 months (17.5–25.0). The hazard ratios (95% CI) for OS in the low- and intermediate-risk groups vs the high-risk group were 0.20 (0.14–0.29) and 0.40 (0.30–0.53), respectively. Conclusions: Our validated prognostic model incorporates factors routinely collected in chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC treated with enzalutamide and identifies subsets of men with widely differing survival times.
