Phase Ib Trial of Cabazitaxel and Tasquinimod in Men With Heavily Pretreated Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC): The CATCH Trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Tasquinimod is an immunomodulating and anti-antiangiogenic oral agent with anti-prostate cancer activity in preclinical studies and in clinical trials of men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), including single agent activity and in combination with taxanes. We sought to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tasquinimod in combination with cabazitaxel and prednisone in men with chemorefractory mCRPC. METHODS:Men with mCRPC who had failed prior docetaxel chemotherapy received cabazitaxel 25?mg/m2 every 3?weeks with oral tasquinimod at 1 of 3 escalating dose levels (0.25, 0.5, and 1.0?mg once daily) with prednisone and PEG-filgastrim support, using a 3?+?3 dose escalation design. Treatment continued until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS:We enrolled 25 men with chemorefractory mCRPC. The RP2D was 0.5?mg tasquinimod based on excess DLTs (two of three men) observed at dose level 3 (1.0?mg) including grade 3 sensory neuropathy and grade 3 atrial fibrillation. Dose level 2 was expanded to 14 men, where 3 DLTs were observed: grade 3 fatigue, grade 4 febrile neutropenia, and grade 3 liver function abnormalities. The proportion of men with a ?30% PSA decline was 63% and the median composite progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5?months (95% CI 4.2-16.4?months) based on 12 PFS events. The median number of cycles of cabazitaxel was 6 (range 1-13), with six men receiving >10 cycles. Best overall RECIST responses (CR?+?PR) were observed in three men (12%), with stable disease in 12 (48%). No pharmacokinetic interactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS:We determined the RP2D of tasquinimod combined with cabazitaxel to be 0.5?mg daily following a 3?week lead-in of tasquinimod 0.25?mg with growth factor support. No unexpected toxicities occurred. Prostate 77: 385-395, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Taxane-platinum combinations have shown promising activity in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers in single-group clinical studies but not in randomised trials. Distinct biological subsets of the disease might derive the greatest benefit from the addition of platinum. We aimed to determine whether adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel would improve the outcomes of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. METHODS:We did a phase 1-2, open label, randomised study at two centres in men with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In phase 1, patients received intravenous cabazitaxel 20-25 mg/m2 and intravenous carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 3-4 mg/mL per min every 21 days. The maximum tolerated dose was defined as the highest dose cohort studied in which one of six or fewer patients experienced a dose-limiting toxicity. In phase 2, patients were randomly assigned (1:1) centrally by a computerised algorithm to intravenous cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 with or without intravenous carboplatin AUC 4 mg/mL per min. All patients received growth factor support and oral prednisone 10 mg daily. The primary endpoints were the maximum tolerated dose of the combination in phase 1 and investigator-assessed progression-free survival in phase 2. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01505868. FINDINGS:Between Aug 17, 2012, and May 11, 2015, nine patients completed phase 1 as planned, and 160 were randomly assigned to cabazitaxel (n=79) or cabazitaxel plus carboplatin (n=81) in phase 2. During phase I, grade 3 adverse events were anaemia (n=2), fatigue (n=1), thrombocytopenia (n=1), hypomagnesaemia (n=1), diarrhoea (n=1), hypokalaemia (n=1), anorexia (n=1), and dehydration (n=1), and no grade 4 adverse events occurred. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, therefore, a maximum tolerated dose of cabazitaxel of 25 mg/m2 and carboplatin of AUC 4 mg/mL per min was selected for phase 2. At a median follow-up of 31·0 months (IQR 20·5-37·1), the combination improved the median progression-free survival from 4·5 months (95% CI 3·5-5·7) to 7·3 months (95% CI 5·5-8·2; hazard ratio 0·69, 95% CI 0·50-0·95, p=0·018). In the phase 2 study, the most common grade 3-5 adverse events were fatigue (7 [9%] of 79 in the cabazitaxel group vs 16 [20%] of 81 in the combination group), anaemia (3 [4%] vs 19 [23%]), neutropenia (3 [4%] vs 13 [16%]), and thrombocytopenia (1 [1%] vs 11 [14%]). There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION:Carboplatin added to cabazitaxel showed improved clinical efficacy compared with cabazitaxel alone for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Although adverse events were more common with the combination, the treatment was safe and generally well tolerated. Our data suggest that taxane-platinum combinations have a clinically beneficial role in advanced prostate cancer and a randomised phase 3 study is planned.
