Scher et al, 2008; Jemal et al, 2010.
10. CRPC
Almost all patients with prostate cancer treated with ADT
eventually experience progression in the setting of castrate
serum testosterone levels (< 50 ng/dL)
– Rising PSA, new symptoms, or radiographic findings
Several “secondary” hormonal therapies are used in this
setting
– Anti-androgens (eg, bicalutamide, nilutamide, flutamide)
– Ketoconazole
– Estrogens (eg, DES, megestrol)
– Steroids (eg, prednisone, dexamethasone)
PSA = prostate specific antigen; DES = diethylstilbestrol.
Gelmann, 2002; Hussain et al, 2006.
11. CRPC: An Evolving Paradigm
AR signaling is a key factor in prostate cancer growth
despite castrate serum testosterone (< 50 ng/dL)
– Promoted by a number of different factors
• AR overexpression/amplification
• AR mutations
• Increased AR ligand expression
• AR coactivators
• Ligand-independent AR activation
Persistent AR signaling leads to tumor growth and
proliferation
AR = androgen receptor.
Gelmann, 2002; Debes et al, 2004.

What
treatment choices do patients with
CRPC have?
– Symptomatic (docetaxel is not label-restricted to
symptomatic patients)
22. Docetaxel for mCRPC
The standard of care for mCRPC changed from
mitoxantrone to docetaxel based on data from 2
randomized phase III studies
– SWOG 9916: Docetaxel/estramustine improved
median survival vs. mitoxantrone/prednisone
– TAX-327: Docetaxel/prednisone improved survival as
well as pain responses, PSA responses, and QOL vs.
mitoxantrone/prednisone
SWOG = Southwest Oncology Group; QOL = quality of life.

25. Docetaxel: The Pivot Point
Docetaxel became a pivot point for the
treatment of patients and the design of
clinical trials
– Before docetaxel
– With docetaxel
– After docetaxel
27. Initial Treatment of CRPC
What are the consensus-based treatment
guidelines for mCRPC?
28. NCCN Guidelines for
Systemic Therapy
Negative for metastases
– Clinical trial (preferred)
– Observation
– Antiandrogen
– Antiandrogen withdrawal
– Ketoconazole
– Steroids
– DES or other estrogen
NCCN = National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
NCCN, 2011.
29. NCCN Guidelines for
Systemic Therapy (cont.)
Positive for metastases
– Symptomatic, visceral disease
• Docetaxel (category 1)
• Mitoxantrone
• Abiraterone acetate (category 2B)
• Palliative RT or radionucleide for symptomatic bone
metastases
• Clinical trial
RT = radiotherapy.
NCCN, 2011.
30. NCCN Guidelines for
Systemic Therapy (cont.)
Positive for metastases
– Asymptomatic
• Sipuleucel-T (category 1)
• Secondary hormone therapy
– Antiandrogen
– Antiandrogen withdrawal
– Ketoconazole or abiraterone acetate (category 2B)
– Steroids
– DES or other estrogen
• Clinical trial
NCCN, 2011.
31. Initial Treatment of CRPC
Discussion:
The optimal initiation of
chemotherapy for patients with mCRPC
32. Key Takeaways
Active surveillance involves actively monitoring course of
disease with the expectation to intervene with curative
intent if the cancer progresses
There is no standard of care for the treatment of non-
mCRPC, but reasonable options include observation,
secondary hormones, ketoconazole
Sipuleucel-T is indicated for men with mCRPC and
no/minimal symptoms
Docetaxel chemotherapy is the first-line standard for
symptomatic mCRPC; FDA label should be adhered to
35. CRPC Progression
Parameters that define CRPC progression:
– Two consecutive rises in PSA
– Progressive disease in measurable (soft tissue,
visceral) radiographic lesions defined by RECIST
– Two or more new bone lesions on 99mTc-bone scan
… in the setting of persistent castrate levels of serum
testosterone (<50 ng/dl)
Scher et al, 2008.
36. Identifying and Treating
CRPC Progression(cont.)
What are the treatment options for patients
with mCRPC who progress after docetaxel?
– Cabazitaxel
– Abiraterone
37. Cabazitaxel: Next Generation Taxane
Novel semi-synthetic taxane that stabilizes
microtubules and may overcome taxane resistance
Preclinical data show activity against taxane-
sensitive and -resistant cell lines and tumor models
In phase I trials, antitumor activity seen in mCRPC,
including in men with docetaxel-refractory disease
DLT was neutropenia
DLT = dose limiting toxicity.
Attard et al, 2006; Pivot et al, 2008; Mita et al, 2009.

failure of a docetaxel-containing regimen
Abiraterone is a novel androgen synthesis inhibitor
approved for mCRPC after receipt of prior docetaxel

90. Dasatinib in CRPC
Phase II trial, 38 patients with metastatic CRPC
treated with one prior chem regimen
– Median duration of therapy – 55 days
– 46% had dose reduction or treatment delay
– One patient had stable disease for > 6 mos
– Tolerability was improved by reduction in starting
dose to 100 mg/d
Ongoing phase III trial, dasatinib + docetaxel/
prednisone versus placebo +
docetaxel/prednisone
US NIH, 2011i; Twardowski et al, 2011.
91. Cabozantinib (XL184)
Cabozantinib: TKI that blocks MET and VEGFR2
– MET and its ligand HGF drive invasion and metastasis
– MET and VEGFR2 synergize to promote angiogenesis
– Bone metastases have high levels of MET expression
• HGF and VEGF direct crosstalk between tumor cells, osteoblasts,
and osteoclasts
In prostate cancer
– Preclinically, androgen ablation ↑ MET expression
– MET ↑ with progression and metastasis in bone and LNs
HGF = hepatocyte growth factor; LNs = lymph nodes.

94. Key Takeaways
Several novel androgen synthesis inhibitors and
next generation AR antagonists are in
development
Ipilimumab,ProstVac-VF, Zibotentan, dasatinib,
and lenalidomide have entered late stage clinical
trials
Radium-223 is the fifth drug to show OS
improvement in men with mCRPC
Cabozantinib (XL184) is a new TKI with marked
effects on castration-resistant bone metastases
96. Case Study: Part 1
57-yr-old man – T3a PCa, Gleason 4+4 = 8,
PSA = 8.2 ng/mL
Undergoes radical prostatectomy
Develops PSA recurrence with PSADT = 6 months
Started on leuprolide + bicalutamide, and responds for
18 months
Then develops rising PSA, despite bicalutamide
withdrawal
PSAs: 4.2 → 5.6 → 7.2 ng/mL
Testosterone: 28 ng/dL
Bone scan and CT scan: Negative for metastatic disease
PSADT = prostate-specific antigen doubling time; CT = computed tomography.
NCCN, 2011.
97. Case Study: Part 1
Discussion Questions
Does this patient meet criteria for CRPC?
How would you manage this patient?
98. Case Study: Part 2
Same patient – non-mCRPC
Enrolls in phase II study or oral TAK-700 (orteronel)
Has a PSA response lasting 6 months
Then PSA begins to rise: 4.6 → 7.5 → 11.2 ng/mL
Testosterone: 2 ng/dL
CT scan repeated: Remains normal
Bone scan: New lesions left 5th rib and L1 vertebral
body
He remains asymptomatic – no bone pain – ECOG 0
99. Case Study: Part 2
Discussion Question
How would you manage this patient now?
100. Case Study: Part 3
Same patient – asymptomatic mCRPC
Patient receives 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T
PSA rises after 3 months, and again after 6 months
CT scan: Para aortic lymphadenopathy (up to 3.8 cm)
Bone scan: 2 rib, 2 vertebral, and 1 pelvic bone lesion
Patient reports new rib and back pain (intensity 3/10)
ECOG PS 0
101. Case Study: Part 3
Discussion Question
How would you manage this patient now?
102. Case Study: Part 4
Same patient – symptomatic mCRPC
He receives docetaxel q3wks and denosumab q4wks
Obtains PSA response and objective radiologic response
After 8 cycles, stops docetaxel due to grade 3 neuropathy
4 months later, he has further PSA progression
CT: New liver lesions (up to 4 cm) and lung lesions (8 mm)
Bone lesions: Stable
Has persistent grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
ECOG PS 1
103. Case Study: Part 4
Discussion Question
How would you manage this patient now?
104. Key Takeaways
Different treatment strategies may be appropriate for
patients with different disease states
– Non mCRPC
– Asymptomatic mCRPC
– Symptomatic mCRPC
– Docetaxel pretreated CRPC
Bone-targeting therapies should be considered for men
with castration-resistant bone metastases, and can be
given concurrently with anticancer therapies
Palliative approaches (eg, RT, radiopharmaceuticals)
should also be considered for patients with bone pain
