Intermittent versus Continuous Androgen Deprivation in
Hormone Sensitive Metastatic Prostate Cancer Patients:
Results of SWOG 9346 (INT-0162) an International Phase
III Trial
Primary
- Determine if survival with IAD is Not Inferior to
survival with CAD.
-
QOL*: To compare 3 treatment-specific symptoms
(Impotence, Libido, Energy/Vitality) and physical and
emotional functioning between arms- Abstract # 4571
Rationale for Intermittent Therapy
ADT has side effects
Hormonal Therapy in the recurrent state is
non curative
Possibility of delaying “Castrate
Resistance”
Widely adopted
Differing schedules of start /stop times

Study Design
Induction Registration
STEP 1 Newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer & a PSA  5 ng/mL
Induction AD = Goserelin + Bicalutamide X 7 months
If PSA  4 ng/mL on months 6&7 (PSA
normalization criteria)
STEP 2
Randomly Assign
Continuous AD
Intermittent AD
Discontinue AD, monthly PSAs. Resume AD
based on pre-specified criteria
Statistical Methods
•
Primary outcome: Survival post-randomization
• Hypothesis: “IAD is NOT inferior to CAD”
•
Design specifications:
• Survival with IAD is not inferior if the 95%
confidence interval for the hazard ratio (IAD vs.
CAD) excludes 1.2, α=0.05, power=90%, adjusting
for stratification factors in proportional hazards model.
•
Assumptions: post-randomization median survival
for CAD = 3 years:
• Sample size: 1500 eligible, randomized patients
• accrual: 6.25 yrs. + 2 additional yrs. of follow-up.
Overall Survival: Intermittent Therapy is Inferior Compared

Results- Subgroup Analysis
Authors Conclusions
In this international phase III trial in patients with metastatic hormone
sensitive prostate cancer :
1.IAD was inferior to CAD based on our pre-specified definition of survival
comparability [HR: 1.09, 95% CI (0.95, 1.24)]. Therefore, CAD continues to
be the standard of care.
1.In a secondary analysis:
– IAD was not-inferior to CAD in patients with extensive disease. [HR:
0.96 95% CI (0.80, 1.16)].
– IAD was inferior in patients with minimal disease & CAD was
statistically significantly superior [HR: 1.23, 95% CI (1.02, 1.49),
p=0.034].
( HR: 1.09 95% CI (0.95, 1.24)
Superiority: Detects a difference between 2 drugs
Equivalence: confirms absence of significant difference between 2 drugs
Non Inferior: New Rx is no worse than active by a prespecified
amount
Conclusions
Authors were unable to show that IAD was no worse than
CAD ( Did not prove that CAD is superior)
Improvement in QOL with impotence, libido and E/V with
IAD
Accrual was twice as long as planned (6 vs 13 yrs)
Subgroup of extensive vs minimal was not preplanned
NCIC was in non metastatic (which is minimal ds)
Patients should be counseled about risks and benefits of
any therapy
IAD remains a reasonable option for patients with both
PSA alone ds and those with metastases

Conclusions
Authors: In patients with asymptomatic and mildly
symptomatic, chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC, treatment with
abiraterone acetate plus prednisone:
– Delays disease progression
– Increases survival
– Extends time with minimal or no symptoms
– No new important safety signals
Valuable drug; Will become a standard pre chemotherapy
Approval pending
Earlier closure will not impact clinical use

Conclusions
Authors: Enzalutamide, a once a day oral Androgen

prolongs survival in men with CRPC by almost 5 months.
Probably will be used post chemo now and
abiraterone will be used pre chemo

ALYSMPCA Updated Analysis Conclusions
Radium-223 compared with placebo in CRPC
patients with bone metastases:
– Significantly prolonged median OS by 3.6 months
Significantly prolonged median time to first SRE by 5.5
months
My Comments:
– Useful drug in patients with significant pain
– Only bone metastases/not visceral disease
– Post docetaxel/docetaxel ineligible patients
– Nuclear Medicine Referral
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Current State & Challenges in mRCC
• Explosion of choices in the last 7 years
• 8 FDA approved agents yet median OS still ~2 years
• Few cures
• Efficacy at the expense of toxicity
• Limited selection and prediction criteria

Note: Reported potenciesa are either biochemical- or cell-based IC50s (nM); cell-based data are shown when available.
aAxitinib data for VEGFR-2 are from an ELISA assay; all other axitinib data are from an immunoprecipitation assay. In addition, Chow
LQM, Eckhardt SG reported an axitinib IC50 of 1.2, 0.25, and 0.29 nM for VEGFR-1, -2, and -3 (J Clin Oncol. 2007;25(7):884-895).

• Patients with normal TSH levels that increased to >10 mIU/L after treatment: tivozanib, 24%; sorafenib, 6%
- Few of these patients had low T3 (tivozanib 3%; sorafenib 2%) or low free T4 (tivozanib,2%; sorafenib,
<1%) on or after date elevations in TSH were observed

Conclusions
Authors: Tivoanib demonstrated superior efficacy compared with
sorafenib as treatment for metastatic RCC
Tivozanib should be considered a first-line treatment option for
mRCC
Where will this fit in our practice?
Manage side effects/comfortable at it
GU - Updates
Intermittent (IAD) versus continuous androgen deprivation
(CAD): Remains an option; Need discussion with patients trade
offs
COU-AA-302, a randomized, phase III study of abiraterone
acetate in chemotherapy-naive patients with metastatic
castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Reasonable pre
chemotherapy
Alpharadin trial: Good option for palliation of pain post
chemotherapy
MDV 3100: Useful agent post chmeotherapy
Tivozanib versus sorafenib: New TKI with less side effects for
mRCC
