 Until 2004, the therapeutic arena for these patients had
remained stagnant, with no agent Having shown a survival
gain in the CRPC setting.
Two landmark publications changed the prostate cancer
treatment landscape by providing ‘level-1 evidence’ that
docetaxel-based chemotherapy led to prolongation in overall
survival (OS).
This was followed by the approval of cabazitaxel in 2010 on
the basis of phase III data demonstrating its efficacy in
patients pretreated with docetaxel.
 More recently, a number of next-generation

ADVERSE EVENTS
 As per NCCN, Docetaxel is a low-risk regimen (<
10% of FN)
 CRPC patients likely to receive chemotherapy agents
at an elderly age when their performance status is
poor and several comorbid conditions exist.
 As per several studies, if an elderly pt becomes
febrile, a poorer outcome can be expected than in a
younger pt because of excessive toxicities.
 NCCN guidelines categorize Docetaxel as a low-risk
CT regimen with respect to development of FN, but
Prostate Ca pts have a higher risk.Shigeta K et al. Int J Clin Oncol.2014 Sep 9. [Epub ahead

APPROVED DRUGS Offer abiraterone/prednisone (for men whose cancer has spread predominantly to
the bones) in addition to ADT, as all three treatments are associated with improved
survival, quality of life, and favorable balance of benefits and harms.
(Recommendation level: strong)
 If considering chemotherapy, offer docetaxel/prednisone, but discuss side-effect
risks. (Recommendation level: moderate)
 If a patient’s disease worsens despite treatment with docetaxel, consider offering
cabazitaxel plus prednisone, but discuss side-effect risks.
(Recommendation level: moderate)
 Consider offering mitoxantrone plus prednisone, accompanied by a discussion of
limited clinical benefit and side-effect risk.
(Recommendation level: weak)

ASCO 2014 Plenary Session: Results From the
CHAARTED Trial
• Starting chemotherapy along with hormone therapy in men with newly diagnosed hormone-
sensitive prostate cancer improved overall survival (OS) by more than 13 months in
comparison with hormone therapy alone, a phase III study found.
• The survival benefit was even greater in men with high-volume disease.
mCRPC (N =790)
• Arm A = six cycles of
docetaxel + ADT
• Arm B= ADT alone.

QUESTIONS UNANWSERED
In this era of next-generation androgen-directed
therapies (e.g. Abiraterone and Enzalutamide) the
role of cytotoxic CT is becoming less clear although
still has a distinct role.
With so many new treatment options available, a
number of questions remain. These include:
o How to best sequence chemotherapy with these newer
hormonal agents,
o The clinical implication of cross-resistance between
taxanes and androgen-directed agents
o Which subsets of patients may benefit most from early
use of chemotherapy.

  • 18. NEW ASCO/CCO MCRPC TREATMENT GUIDELINE INCORPORATES LATEST APPROVED DRUGS Offer abiraterone/prednisone (for men whose cancer has spread predominantly to the bones) in addition to ADT, as all three treatments are associated with improved survival, quality of life, and favorable balance of benefits and harms. (Recommendation level: strong)  If considering chemotherapy, offer docetaxel/prednisone, but discuss side-effect risks. (Recommendation level: moderate)  If a patient’s disease worsens despite treatment with docetaxel, consider offering cabazitaxel plus prednisone, but discuss side-effect risks. (Recommendation level: moderate)  Consider offering mitoxantrone plus prednisone, accompanied by a discussion of limited clinical benefit and side-effect risk. (Recommendation level: weak) http://www.asco.org/guidelines/genitourinary

ASCO 2014 Plenary Session: Results From the CHAARTED Trial • Starting chemotherapy along with hormone therapy in men with newly diagnosed hormone- sensitive prostate cancer improved overall survival (OS) by more than 13 months in comparison with hormone therapy alone, a phase III study found. • The survival benefit was even greater in men with high-volume disease. mCRPC (N =790) • Arm A = six cycles of docetaxel + ADT • Arm B= ADT alone. 20 J Clin Oncol 32:5s, 2014 (suppl; abstr LBA2)
  • 20. QUESTIONS UNANWSERED In this era of next-generation androgen-directed therapies (e.g. Abiraterone and Enzalutamide) the role of cytotoxic CT is becoming less clear although still has a distinct role. With so many new treatment options available, a number of questions remain. These include: o How to best sequence chemotherapy with these newer hormonal agents, o The clinical implication of cross-resistance between taxanes and androgen-directed agents o Which subsets of patients may benefit most from early use of chemotherapy.
