TPS5095 Background: Given recent advances in the management of de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with both docetaxel and abiraterone, as well as evidence of significant activity of cabazitaxel in the post-abiraterone castrate-resistant setting, we hypothesized that the addition of cabazitaxel to neoadjuvant abiraterone will improve pathological complete response rates by overcoming mechanisms of resistance in localized high-risk prostate cancer. Aim: To determine the relative efficacy of the addition of cabazitaxel to abiraterone in the neoadjuvant treatment of prostate cancer to achieve a complete response. Methods: Open label, randomized, 2-arm multi-centre, phase 2 clinical trial. Primary endpoint: Pathological complete response rate (pCR). Secondary endpoints: surgical outcomes (positive margins, extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle or nodal involvement), pharmacodynamic markers in residual tumour (apoptosis, androgen receptor expression, localization, and signaling), biomarkers (intra-prostatic androgen levels), and safety. Design: Study participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either: Arm A: Abiraterone (1000 mg/day), prednisone (5 mg b.i.d.), leuprolide (22.5 mg s.c. every 3 months), and cabazitaxel (25 mg/m2 starting at week 2, with 6 mg pegfilgrastim 24 h following cabazitaxel) or Arm B: Abiraterone (1000 mg/day), prednisone (5 mg b.i.d.) and leuprolide (22.5 mg s.c. every 3 months). Assessments will take place biweekly for the first 12 weeks, then monthly until the prostatectomy (scheduled for 24 weeks following start of treatment). Target accrual is 88 participants within 36 months. Study is powered to detect a 15% difference with 85% power, assuming a one-sided type 1 error rate of 20%. A 6 patient safety run-in is included. As of Jan 2017, 1 site is open in Canada, with 4 additional Canadian sites and 1 site in Australia pending. To date, 4 participants are randomized and undergoing treatment. ACDC-RP is an investigator-initiated trial led by the Princess Margaret Urology Trials Group with funding from Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) and in-kind contributions from Janssen and Sanofi. Clinical trial information: NCT02543255.
