Abstract 2522

Background

In the phase 3 placebo (PBO)-controlled SPARTAN study, APA with ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly improved metastasis-free survival (MFS) (HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.23-0.35; p < 0.001), time to symptomatic progression, and progression-free survival on second therapy compared with PBO with ongoing ADT in pts with nmCRPC. At the primary analysis for MFS, APA was associated with improved OS (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.47-1.04; p = 0.07) and time to initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy. The OS results were immature, with only 104 of 427 events (24%) required for the prespecified final OS analysis. We report a second interim analysis (IA2) for OS after 285 events (65% of required events).

Methods

Pts with nmCRPC and prostate-specific antigen doubling time of ≤ 10 months were randomized 2:1 to APA (240 mg QD) or PBO, with ongoing ADT. The OS effect of APA vs PBO was assessed using a group sequential testing procedure with O’Brien-Fleming-type alpha spending function. The required p value for statistical significance at IA2 was 0.0121. OS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox model.

Results

At 41 months’ median follow-up and 285 OS events, APA was associated with improved OS compared with PBO (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.59-0.96; p = 0.0197). The 4-yr OS rates for APA and PBO were 72.1% and 64.7%, respectively. After unblinding the study and prior to IA2, 76 nonprogressing PBO pts (19%) crossed over to open-label APA. At IA2, the proportion of pts who received subsequent life-prolonging therapy was 68% in the PBO group and 38% in the APA group. Rates of discontinuation due to progressive disease and adverse events (AE) were 34% and 14%, for the APA group, and 74% and 8% for the PBO group. The rates of treatment-emergent AEs for APA at IA2 were similar to the rates previously reported at IA1.

Conclusions

At IA2, APA was associated with a 25% reduction in risk of death compared with PBO. This OS benefit for APA was observed despite crossover of PBO pts to APA and higher rates of subsequent life-prolonging therapy for PBO pts. APA safety profile remained unchanged. These results further support APA as a standard of care option for pts with high-risk nmCRPC.
