Abiraterone response time

Androgen deprivation in combination with novel hormonal agents, docetaxel, or in combination with abiraterone/prednisone plus docetaxel or darolutamid plus docetaxel represent the standard therapeutic approach in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Patients with low-risk prostate cancer also benefit from additional radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy in terms of progression-free and overall survival. Despite favorable response rates, basically all patients will develop castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 2...

BACKGROUND: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), administered alone, as combined androgen blockade (CAB) or as ADT plus androgen receptor signalling inhibitors (ARSIs) or ADT plus docetaxel, is the standard treatment for metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) in Japanese real-world practice. OBJECTIVE: To investigate treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in LATITUDE criteria high-risk mHNPC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The longitudinal, multicentre, J-ROCK registry study enrolled patients initiating ADT in Japan after May 2019, and categorised them as cohort 1 (ADT or CAB) or cohort 2 (ADT plus ARSIs or docetaxel)...

BACKGROUND: Patients with localized, unfavorable intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer have an increased risk of relapse after radical prostatectomy (RP). The authors previously reported on part 1 of this phase 2 trial testing neoadjuvant apalutamide, abiraterone, prednisone, plus leuprolide (AAPL) or abiraterone, prednisone, and leuprolide (APL) for 6 months followed by RP. The results demonstrated favorable pathologic responses (tumor <5 mm) in 20.3% of patients (n = 24 of 118)...

PURPOSE: The androgen receptor axis-targeted (ARAT) agents abiraterone and enzalutamide have been introduced against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, determining which of these agents should be used first is a clinical challenge. Therefore, in this study, we compared the efficacy of first-line abiraterone and enzalutamide treatments in chemotherapy-naïve patients with CRPC. METHODS: A total of 242 chemotherapy-naïve CRPC cases treated with first-line ARAT were analyzed...

BACKGROUND: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a common treatment modality for men with prostate cancer. Increases in adipose tissue mass and decreases in skeletal muscle mass are known on-target adverse effects of standard ADT. The effects of newer agents such as abiraterone acetate (ABI) and enzalutamide (ENZA) on body composition and how these compare with standard luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (aLHRHs) are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of different forms of androgen deprivation therapy on body composition in men with prostate cancer...

Extragonadal androgens play a pivotal role in prostate cancer disease progression on androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSi), including abiraterone and enzalutamide. We aimed to investigate if germline variants in genes involved in extragonadal androgen synthesis contribute to resistance to ARSi and may predict clinical outcomes on ARSi. We included ARSi naive metastatic prostate cancer patients treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide and determined 18 germline variants in six genes involved in extragonadal androgen synthesis...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is considered to be the most prevalent malignancy in males worldwide. Abiraterone is a 17α-hydroxylase/C17, 20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitor that has been approved for use in patients with prostate cancer. However, several negative aspects, such as drug resistance, toxicity, and lack of real-time monitoring of treatment responses, could appear with long-term use. Therefore, the development of anticancer agents with specific targeting to avoid side effects is imperative. Here, we used MHI-148, a type of heptamethine cyanine (HC) near-infrared fluorescence dye (NIRF), as a prototype structure to synthesize two theranostic agents, Abi-DZ-1 and Abi-783...

BACKGROUND: Olaparib has been proven for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of olaparib and abiraterone in patients with mCRPC. METHODS: The literature in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library up until April 27, 2023, was systematically searched. In the studies included in this meta-analysis, olaparib combined with abiraterone was compared with abiraterone combined with placebo...

PURPOSE: Patients with advanced cancer may undergo multiple lines of treatment, switching therapies as their disease progresses. We developed a general microsimulation framework to study therapy sequence and applied it to metastatic prostate cancer. METHODS: We constructed a discrete-time state transition model to study 2 lines of therapy. Using digitized published survival curves (progression-free survival, time to progression, and overall survival [OS]), we inferred event types (progression or death) and estimated transition probabilities using cumulative incidence functions with competing risks...

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a prevalent cancer in men worldwide, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is characterized by disease progression despite androgen deprivation therapy. While clinical and prognostic biomarkers have been identified in CRPC, the significance of serum inflammatory markers remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 79 CRPC patients treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide. Inflammatory markers, including the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were assessed as predictive tools for treatment response...

PURPOSE: The proper treatment sequence for administering abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone (AAP) and chemotherapeutic agents has not yet been elucidated for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Hence, this study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of AAP in pre- and post-chemotherapy settings using real-world data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective, multicenter, open-label, observational study included 506 patients with mCRPC. Patients were classified according to the timing of chemotherapy into pre- and post-chemotherapy groups...

PURPOSE: Improving clinical outcomes with novel drug combinations to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is challenging. Preclinical studies showed cabazitaxel had superior antitumor efficacy compared with docetaxel. Gene expression profiling revealed divergent effects of these taxanes in cycling cells. mCRPC are RB deficient rendering them hypersensitive to taxanes. These data suggested that upfront treatment with cabazitaxel with abiraterone may affect therapeutic response...

PURPOSE: The androgen receptor axis inhibitors (ARPI) (e.g, enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate) are administered in daily practice for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, not all patients respond, and mechanisms of both primary and acquired resistance remain largely unknown Experimental Design: In a prospective trial MATCH-R (NCT02517892), 59 mCRPC patients underwent whole exome sequencing (WES) and/or RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of samples collected before starting ARPI...

PURPOSE: To investigate the survival outcomes of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients receiving first-line novel androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies (ARATs) and prognostic factors for patient survival. METHODS: This retrospective study obtained data from 202 patients who started abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide as first-line therapy for mCRPC between 2016 and 2021 from a single academic center. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) defined as the interval from the start of ARAT to death, loss to follow-up, or the end of the study period...

PURPOSE: There is an unmet need for therapeutic options that prolong survival for patients with heavily pretreated, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The phase III, open-label KEYLYNK-010 study evaluated pembrolizumab plus olaparib versus a next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) for biomarker-unselected, previously treated mCRPC. METHODS: Eligible participants had mCRPC that progressed on or after abiraterone or enzalutamide (but not both) and docetaxel...

BACKGROUND: Although the second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors and taxanes have recently been recommended for the initial treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, bicalutamide and flutamide are still used in a large number of cases. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the clinical characteristics of these treated CRPC cases and their sensitivity to the currently used therapeutic agents. We aimed to examine the outcomes of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer following combined androgen blockade as initial therapy at our institution...

BACKGROUND: Deep prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (≥90% reduction in PSA [PSA90]) is an important early response indicator of radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). This study compared PSA90 responses by 6 months between patients with mCSPC at first use of apalutamide or abiraterone acetate, both androgen receptor signaling inhibitors. METHODS: Clinical data from 77 community urology practices in the United States were analyzed...

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy and a leading cause of cancer deaths in US men. Many PC cases metastasize and develop resistance to systemic hormonal therapy, a stage known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective therapeutic strategies for CRPC. Traditional drug discovery pipelines require significant time and capital input, which highlights a need for novel methods to evaluate the repositioning potential of existing drugs...

(1) Background: DNA damage response (DDR) pathway gene mutations are detectable in a significant number of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study aimed at identification of germline and/or somatic DDR mutations in blood and urine samples from patients with mCRPC for correlation with responses to entire sequence of systemic treatment and survival outcomes. (2) Methods: DDR gene mutations were assessed prospectively in DNA samples from leukocytes and urine sediments from 149 mCRPC patients using five-gene panel targeted sequencing...
