Abstract 2342
Background
The FIRSTANA trial compared docetaxel 75mg/m2 Q3W (D75), cabazitaxel 20mg/m2 Q3W (C20) and cabazitaxel 25mg/m2 Q3W (C25) in patients with chemo-naive mCRPC (Oudard 2017). FIRSTANA enrolled patients regardless of presence of disease-related symptoms. This post-hoc analysis of FIRSTANA evaluates the influence of progression type on outcomes.
Methods
Patient outcomes (OS, PSA response [confirmed PSA decline from baseline ≥ 50%] and radiological PFS [rPFS]) were analyzed according to progression type at randomization. Progression at randomization was defined as follows: PSA progression only (PSA-p) with no radiological progression (Radio-p) and no pain, Radio-p (± PSA-p, no pain), pain progression (mean Present Pain Intensity ≥2 and/or mean analgesic score ≥ 10 over the 7 days prior to randomization (±PSA-p, ±Radio-p).
Results
PSA-p, Radio-p and Pain-p were present in 34.4%, 23.2% and 42.3% of patients at randomization, respectively. Pain progression at initiation of chemotherapy was associated with features of aggressive disease and a shorter OS. Lower activity of C20 than C25 and D75 was observed in patients with Pain-p.Table:

in months, NR: not reached; °Log rank test for rPFS and OS, CMH test adjusted on stratification factors
Conclusions
Most patients in FIRSTANA had pain progression at randomization and this factor was associated with worse OS. In this post-hoc, subgroup analysis, C20 appeared less active than D75 and C25 in men with baseline pain progression.
