Abstract 1534
Background
mCRPC is highly heterogeneous with coexistence of AR-dependent and AR-independent tumor clones. New AR-targeted agents (abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide) and taxanes (docetaxel (DOC), cabazitaxel - specifically developed to overcome DOC resistance) are the backbone of mCRPC therapy. The rising concern of cross-resistance between mCRPC therapies and the evidence that some patients may not respond to all available drugs have increased the complexity of managing mCRPC. There is thus a need to design trials helping to define the optimal sequence of therapies to optimize patient outcomes.
Trial design
CARD is a randomized phase 4 trial involving 79 sites in 12 European countries. A total of 324 patients with mCRPC previously treated with DOC and who failed a prior AR-targeted agent (abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide, either before or after DOC) within 12 months of AR-targeted treatment initiation will be randomized (1:1) to receive cabazitaxel (25mg/m2 every 3 weeks plus daily prednisone and prophylactic G-CSF) or the alternative AR-targeted agent until radiographic progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient's request. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG performance status (0-1 vs. 2), time to progression with prior AR-targeted agent (
