647 PHASE 1–2 STUDY OF MDV3100 IN PRE- AND POST-DOCETAXEL ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER: LONG-TERM EFFICACY RESULTS Celestia Higano*, Seattle, WA; Tomasz Beer, Portland, OR; Evan Yu, Seattle, WA; Mary-Ellen Taplin, Boston, MA; Eleni Efstathiou, Houston, TX; Aseem Anand, New York, NY; Mohammad Hirmand, San Francisco, CA; Martin Fleisher, Howard Scher, New York, NY INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: MDV3100 is a novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonist with activity against prostate cancer (PCa) cells that overexpress AR. MDV3100 slows growth and induces cell death in bicalutamide-resistant tumors via 3 complementary actions: AR direct antagonism, inhibition of nuclear translocation of the AR complex, and inhibition of DNA binding by the AR (Tran C et al. Science. 2009;324:787). AR partial agonism has not been seen with MDV3100 in vitro. Preliminary antitumor activity and adverse events have been reported in advanced PCa from a phase 1–2 study of MDV3100 (Scher HI et al. Lancet. 2010;375:1437). Long-term follow-up for time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and radiographic progression from this study are presented here. METHODS: Patients (pts) with progressive castration-resistant PCa were enrolled in sequential cohorts of 3– 6 pts; MDV3100 doses were 30, 60, 150, 240, 360, 480, and 600 mg/day. After confirming dose tolerability, enrollment was expanded for doses ⱖ60 mg/day to include approximately 24 pts per dose cohort who were chemotherapynaive (chemo-naive; n⫽12) or previously treated with docetaxel (postchemo; n⫽12). RESULTS: 140 pts were enrolled, 18 (13%) of whom continue on active treatment (chemo-naive, n⫽16; post-chemo, n⫽2) with a median of 131 weeks of therapy. The median time on treatment is 51 weeks for chemo-naive (n⫽65) and 17 weeks for post-chemo (n⫽75) pts. The median time to PSA progression, defined as a ⱖ25% increase in PSA from baseline, was not met for chemo-naive pts and was 33 weeks for post-chemo pts. Median time to PSA progression by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 criteria was 41 and 20 weeks for chemo-naive and post-chemo pts, respectively. Median time to radiological progression is shown in the Figure. CONCLUSIONS: In this phase 1–2 study, MDV3100 demonstrated durable antitumor activity in chemo-naive and post-chemo pts with advanced PCa. To confirm these promising results, MDV3100 is being evaluated in 2 ongoing global phase 3 studies in pts with advanced progressive PCa: the AFFIRM study in pts previously treated with docetaxel, and the PREVAIL study in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic chemo-naive pts who have progressed following androgen deprivation therapy.

648 BENEFIT OF DENOSUMAB THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH BONE METASTASES FROM CASTRATE RESISTANT PROSTATE CANCER: A NUMBER-NEEDED-TO-TREAT (NNT) ANALYSIS Kurt Miller*, Berlin, Germany; Karim Fizazi, Paris, France; Matthew Smith, Boston, MA; Jose Pablo Moroto, Barcelona, Spain; Laurence Klotz, Toronto, Canada; Janet Brown, Leeds, United Kingdom; Teuvo LJ Tammela, Tampere, Finland; Neal Shore, Myrtle Beach, SC; Chunlei Ke, Karen Chung, Carsten Goessl, Thousand Oaks, CA INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal anti-RANKL antibody, was superior to zoledronic acid (ZA) in preventing skeletal-related events (SREs) in a randomized trial of prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. The number needed to treat (NNT) is a widely used method of expressing the benefit from a particular intervention. The NNT quantifies the benefit of a treatment by describing how many patients or patient-years of treatment are needed to prevent 1 undesirable event (eg, SRE) or achieve 1 beneficial outcome. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study, eligible castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases were randomized to receive either subcutaneous denosumab 120 mg (N ⫽ 950) or intravenous ZA 4 mg (N ⫽ 951) every 4 weeks. Supplemental calcium ⱖ 500 mg and vitamin D ⱖ 400 IU were recommended for all patients. The NNT for denosumab compared with ZA was calculated using first and subsequent SREs and was reported in patient-years, which describes the benefit of treatment regardless of treatment duration. RESULTS: In this head-to-head trial, denosumab reduced the risk of SREs by 18% vs ZA; P ⫽ 0.008. Seven hundred eighty SREs occurred in 1,045 patient-years in the denosumab arm; 943 SREs occurred in 996 patient-years in the ZA treatment arm. On average, compared with ZA, the NNT analysis demonstrates that treatment of 5 patients with denosumab would prevent an additional SRE (first or subsequent) per year. CONCLUSIONS: The low NNT for each SRE prevented suggests relatively high therapeutic efficacy for denosumab in men with prostate cancer and bone metastases compared to ZA.
