Module 1: Role of Androgen Receptor-Targeted Therapies in the Treatment of Nonmetastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) — Daniel P Petrylak, MD

  • Structural composition, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the next-generation antiandrogen agents apalutamide, darolutamide and enzalutamide
  • Design, eligibility criteria and key efficacy outcomes of the Phase III SPARTAN, ARAMIS and PROSPER trials evaluating apalut­amide, darolutamide and enzalutamide, respec­tively, for patients with nonmetastatic CRPC
  • Spectrum and frequency of toxicities, including CNS-related adverse events, associated with the use of apalutamide, darolutamide and enzalutamide in the SPARTAN, ARAMIS and PROSPER trials; rates of treatment discontinuation
  • FDA approvals of apalutamide, darolutamide and enzalutamide for nonmetastatic CRPC; patient selection and practical integration into clinical algorithms

Module 2: Optimal Management of Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive PC (mHSPC) — Christopher Sweeney, MBBS

  • Long-term efficacy and quality-of-life data with docetaxel or abiraterone and prednisone in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with mHSPC
  • Design, entry criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III ARCHES and TITAN trials comparing enzalutamide or apalutamide in combination with ADT to ADT alone for patients with mHSPC; key efficacy and safety outcomes
  • FDA approvals of enzalutamide and apalutamide for patients with mHSPC and optimal integration into clinical practice
  • Results from the Phase III ENZAMET study of enzalutamide in combination with ADT versus other nonsteroidal antiandrogens (bicalutamide, nilutamide or flutamide) with ADT for patients with mHSPC
  • Rationale for the inclusion of early docetaxel in the ENZAMET study; effect of earlier use of docetaxel on the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide
  • Relevant clinical, biologic and practical factors (eg, age, duration of therapy, extent and sites of metastases) guiding the selection of secondary hormonal therapy versus chemotherapy for mHSPC

Module 3: Treatment Strategies for Metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) — Robert Dreicer, MD, MS

  • Key efficacy and safety findings from the CARD study evaluating cabazitaxel versus alternative androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy (abiraterone or enzalutamide) for patients with mCRPC who had received docetaxel and experienced disease progression on a prior AR-targeted agent; implications for therapeutic sequencing
  • Patient selection for and optimal integration of radium-223 into current mCRPC treatment algorithms; ongoing evaluation of radium-223 in combination with other systemic therapies
  • Incidence of BRCA1/2 mutations and other DNA damage repair abnormalities (eg, ATM, PALB2) in patients with PC; rationale for and proposed mechanisms of antitumor activity of PARP inhibi­tors in metastatic PC
  • Available trial data with olaparib, rucaparib and niraparib for patients with progressive mCRPC
  • Recent FDA approval of rucaparib and olaparib for men with mCRPC; implications for genetic testing and routine practice
  • Preliminary findings from the mCRPC cohort of the Phase Ib COSMIC-021 trial evaluating cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab; ongoing research and plans for development

Program Overview
Cancers of the genitourinary system affect hundreds of thousands of individuals within the United States each year and account for more than one fourth of all newly diagnosed human cancer cases. Of this diverse array of distinct diseases, tumors of the prostate are among the most prevalent and are thus the focus of extensive ongoing clinical research. A result of this research is that the clinical management of both early and more advanced presentations of prostate cancer (PC) is constantly evolving, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for clinicians. To provide these clinicians with therapeutic strategies to address the needs of patients, this CME webinar originally planned as a live symposium for the 2020 ASCO Annual Meeting uses the perspectives of a group of leading clinical investigators to address some of the most frequently encountered questions and controversies in the management of PC. By providing information on the latest research developments and their potential application to routine practice, this activity is designed to assist medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of PC with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of PC.

Learning Objectives

  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic castration-resistant PC (CRPC), and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options with patients.
  • Appraise the similarities and differences among commercially available next-generation antiandrogens in order to personalize therapy selection for patients.
  • Recognize the adverse effects associated with hormonal agents commonly employed in the management of PC, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage these toxicities.
  • Explore available data on the use of cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy for hormone-sensitive metastatic PC in order to effectively design treatment plans for appropriate patients.
  • Apply clinical research findings in the determination of best-practice selection and sequencing of available local and systemic treatment modalities for patients with metastatic CRPC.
  • Describe the rationale for testing patients with progressive CRPC for BRCA1/2 or other related mutations, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about the FDA approvals and potential benefits of PARP inhibitors.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for PC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
