Predictors for survival with cabazitaxel (CBZ) in metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Long term follow-up of the Spanish registry.

Abstract

e602 Background: The clinical experience with CBZ in mCRPC patients (pts) has enriched notably since its approval for clinical use, but there is still a lack of well-defined prognostic/predictive factors to better characterize the profile of pts that could achieve the best therapeutic benefit. Analysis of the final expanded cohort and mature long-term follow-up are presented. Methods: Medical records from mCRPC pts progressing during or after docetaxel and treated with CBZ at 21 centres in Spain were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics, overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and toxicity were collected. Univariate and multivariate analysis of a variety of factors predicting OS were conducted. Results: 187 consecutive pts (median age 69) with intermediate-poor prognostic baseline characteristics (Table 1) received a median of 6 cycles (range 2-59) of CBZ. Median OS from first CBZ cycle was 15.3 [CI: 11.7; 18.0] months (mo) and median clinical and/or rPFS was 7.9 mo [CI: 6.8; 10.3]. Gleason score (GS) < 8 (vs ≥ 8), time under first-line androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) ( > 16.1 (median) vs < 16.1 mo) and the number of chemotherapy lines before CBZ did not significantly influence OS. Median follow-up was 9.5 mo. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 4 pts and 1 pt had neutropenic infection. Main nonhematologic grade ≥ 3 toxicities were asthenia (2.7%) and diarrhea (1.6%). Alopecia, nails disorders and peripheral neuropathy were uncommon. Conclusions: CBZ administered in the daily clinical practice is associated with consistent OS, similar to that observed in pivotal clinical trials. GS, median time under first-line ADT and number of chemotherapy lines before CBZ did not influence clinical benefit. CBZ has an acceptable safety profile. Funding: Sanofi [Table: see text]
