Herein, we investigate the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) treatment response based on baseline testosterone levels in men treated first-line with enzalutamide (ENZ) or abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) for mCRPC. METHODS: We randomised (1:1) men to ENZ (160 mg/day) or AAP (1000 mg abiraterone acetate and 10 mg prednisone/day) groups, in this investigator-initiated phase IV trial. Eligible patients had progressive metastatic prostate cancer despite castrate levels of testosterone (<1.7nmol/L). The purpose of this trial was to compare side-effects between ENZ and AAP. In this exploratory analysis, patients were grouped according to baseline testosterone levels above the mean or less than or equal to the mean. PSA progression-free survival (PFS) was analysed with Kaplan-Meier and with univariate and multivariable (including treatment, testosterone and PSA) cox regression analyses. PSA response rates (≥50% reduction in PSA) were compared between testosterone groups with Chi-Square test for the entire cohort and treatment subgroups. Serum testosterone was measured by the gold standard assay liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: 166 patients (82 treated with ENZ and 84 with AAP) were included in the analyses. The mean baseline testosterone was 0.35nmol/L (10ng/dL). Median follow-up was 22.3 months. Men with baseline testosterone above the mean value had longer PSA PFS (16.6 vs. 9.9 months, hazard ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.41; 0.85, p=0.005). No interaction was found between treatment subgroups in PSA PFS (p=0.635). The PSA response rate was greater in those with higher testosterone compared with those with lower testosterone overall (91% vs 74%, p=0.007). This difference was only statistically significant in the AAP treatment subgroup (table 1). CONCLUSIONS: Baseline serum testosterone seems to be predictive of PSA response in men with mCRPC treated with ENZ or AAP and may be useful for risk stratification of men with mCRPC.
