In men with metastatic high-risk CSPC
Median Overall Survival (OS)
ZYTIGA® + prednisone demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS, based on a pre-specified interim analysis, compared to placebos
STUDY DESIGN1-3
A major efficacy outcome was overall survival. The pre-specified interim analysis after 406 deaths showed a statistically significant improvement in OS in patients on ZYTIGA® with prednisone compared with those on placebos. Twenty-one percent of patients in the ZYTIGA® arm and 41% of patients in the placebos arm received subsequent therapies that may prolong OS in metastatic CRPC. An updated survival analysis was conducted when 618 deaths were observed. The median follow-up time was 52 months. Results from this analysis were consistent with those from the pre-specified interim analysis. At the updated analysis, 29% of patients in the ZYTIGA® arm and 45% of patients in the placebos arm received subsequent therapies that may prolong OS in metastatic CRPC.
Kaplan-Meier Plot of Overall Survival; Intent-to-Treat Population in LATITUDE Updated Analysis
KEY: ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; CI = confidence interval; ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; GnRH = gonadotropin-releasing hormone; HR = hazard ratio.
† Selected exclusion criteria included any prior pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery with curative intent for metastatic prostate cancer; the following exceptions were allowed: (1) up to 3 months of ADT (with GnRH analogs or orchiectomy, with or without concurrent antiandrogens) prior to randomization; (2) one course of palliative radiation or surgical therapy administered prior to randomization to treat symptoms associated with metastatic disease. Patients were ineligible if AST and/or ALT ≥2.5X.3
Mineralocorticoid excess - Closely monitor patients with cardiovascular disease. Control hypertension and correct hypokalemia before treatment. Monitor blood pressure, serum potassium, and symptoms of fluid retention at least monthly. The safety of ZYTIGA® in patients with LVEF <50% or NYHA Class III or IV heart failure in COU-AA-301 or NYHA Class II to IV heart failure in COU-AA-302 and LATITUDE was not established.
Adrenocortical insufficiency - Monitor for symptoms and signs of adrenocortical insufficiency. Increased dosage of corticosteroids may be indicated before, during, and after stressful situations.
Hepatotoxicity - Can be severe and fatal. Monitor liver function and modify, interrupt, or discontinue ZYTIGA® dosing as recommended.
Increased fractures and mortality in combination with radium Ra 223 dichloride - Use of ZYTIGA® plus prednisone/prednisolone in combination with radium Ra 223 dichloride is not recommended.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity - ZYTIGA® can cause fetal harm and loss of pregnancy. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose.
Hypoglycemia - Severe hypoglycemia has been reported when ZYTIGA® was administered to patients with pre-existing diabetes receiving medications containing thiazolidinediones (including pioglitazone) or repaglinide [see Drug Interactions (7.2)]. Monitor blood glucose in patients with diabetes during and after discontinuation of treatment with ZYTIGA®. Assess if antidiabetic drug dosage needs to be adjusted to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia.
Adverse Reactions - The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) are fatigue, arthralgia, hypertension, nausea, edema, hypokalemia, hot flush, diarrhea, vomiting, upper respiratory tract infection, cough, and headache.
The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥20%) are anemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, hypertriglyceridemia, lymphopenia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypokalemia.
Please see Important Safety Information.
The median duration of treatment was 24 months with ZYTIGA® + prednisone vs 14 months with placebos.2
