Michael A. Carducci, M.D., FASCO AEGON Professor in Prostate Cancer Research Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center Baltimore, MD
Disclosures
• Consultant Amgen Bayer Sanofi Data Safety Monitoring Medivation/Astellas
Educational Objectives
• Discuss the clinical state “non-metastatic castration -resistant prostate cancer”
• Review treatment options and controversies for this patient population
• Examine differences between “non-metastatic” to “asymptomatic” CRPC and the treatment landscape

Definition of Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) • CRPC defined as disease progression on androgen
deprivation therapy • Criteria defining CRPC vary
– Presence of progressive metastatic measurable disease (by RECIST)
– Progression of bone metastases (by bone scan) – Biochemical progression: 2 consecutive increases in PSA – Castrate testosterone levels (<50 ng/mL or <20ng/mL) – Progression despite anti-androgen withdrawal
(up to 4-6 weeks earlier)

What is meant by “Non-metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
• A state where the patient appears “radiographically-free” of metastatic disease
• Artificially created by early use of androgen deprivation therapy for rising PSA patients/ high risk patients after local therapy
• In general, it is assumed that these men have micro-metastatic disease

Issues with the Management of Men with “Non-metastatic” CRPC • Duration of ADT prior to CRPC and long term
effects of ADT – Estimates of time to metastatic disease vary – Bone health- osteopenia / fracture risk – Metabolic issues- ongoing cardiovascular risks
• Asymptomatic - so “concern” about side-effects of additional therapies – Again, estimates of time to metastatic disease
would help determine “aggressiveness” of treatment
July 11, 2013 7
Issues with the Management of Men with “Non-metastatic” CRPC • No standard approach to treatment but
“concern” is present for progression risk – What if we improve imaging to detect micro-mets? – Androgen pathway still active and inhibitors should
provide benefit – Immunotherapy may be more effective if provided
early • Clinical trials difficult to design and identify
clinically meaningful endpoint – Delay in time to metastasis- what is signficant?

Bone Health and Metabolic Issues
July 11, 2013 9
Negative Aspects of Androgen Deprivation • Hot flashes • Loss libido / erectile dysfunction • Bone mineral loss/ accelerated osteopenia • Weight gain • Changes in lipid/ glycemic metabolic profiles • Anemia • Neuro-cognitive changes
July 11, 2013 10
Osteoporosis From Hormonal Deprivation
• Normally seen in aging men • Fractures in spine most prevalent • Trabecular bone at highest risk • Deprivation accelerated by systemic
cancer therapy, especially problematic with use of antihormonal cancer agents
July 11, 2013 11
Fractures Affect Mortality and Life Expectancy • Hip fracture
– Affects life expectancy dramatically
• Aged 60-69 yrs: 11.5 yrs of decreased life expectancy • Aged 0-79 yrs: 5.0 yrs of decreased life expectancy
• Vertebral facture – Prevalence in men is high (20%)
– Clinical consequences: pain, kyphosis, loss of height, respiratory problems
• 4 x increased risk of subsequent fracture – Predict increased mortality in men with a 10-yr HR of 2.4
(95% CI: 1.6-3.9)

Metabolic Syndrome
• Metabolic syndrome present in more than 50% of men undergoing long-term ADT – Abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia,
hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, and low HDL • Abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia were
responsible for this higher prevalence • Maybe one factor for accelerated
cardiovascular mortality in men with PCA
• Patients and physicians require education about increased incidence of metabolic issue in men on long term ADT July 11, 2013 19

Metastasis-Free Survival What is meaningful? • ODAC meeting to discuss 11/2011
– Meaningful > 1 year, and based on toxicity profile
• ARN-509 / Enzalutamide / Orteronel- each will launch Phase III studies to delay metastasis
• Can immunotherapy be moved to this setting, when no improved PFS noted in more advanced disease
July 11, 2013 25
Androgen Pathways Still Active
• Maintenance of castrate level of testosterone life long
• Second line hormonal therapy most commonly used – Anti-androgens- bicalutamide, nilutamide,
flutamide – Androgen synthesis inhibitors- ketoconazole – Estrogens – Newer agents (not yet approved but available)

FDA-Approved Agents for Prevention of SREs in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
NCCN recommends either zoledronic acid or denosumab for prevention/delay of SREs in men with metastatic CRPC[1]
Choice between agents may be guided by
– Underlying comorbidities
– Adverse events: renal insufficiency, ONJ, hypocalcemia
– Logistics - Differences in administration (SQ vs IV)
– Cost considerations
Agent Drug Class Recommended Dose and Schedule Zoledronic acid Bisphosphonate 4 mg IV q3-4w Denosumab RANKL-targeted MAb 120 mg SQ q4w
1. NCCN. Clinical practice guidelines in oncology: prostate cancer. v.4.2011.
Summary
• In 2013, “Non-metastatic” CRPC remains a clinical state
• Management remains conservative – Reliance on traditional agents – Bone health – Attention to metabolic issues
• Asymptomatic metastatic CRPC in the midst of changing treatment landscape, with limited data on sequence /timing
