Patterns of Cancer Progression of Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer in the ECOG3805 CHAARTED Trial.

Background: ECOG3805 is a randomized trial of testosterone suppression with or without docetaxel for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Deeper prostate-specific antigen (PSA) suppression is prognostic for outcome. However, the concordance of PSA rise and radiographic progression has not been examined previously in mHSPC, whereas this has been reported in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Burden of Metastatic Castrate Naive Prostate Cancer Patients, to Identify Men More Likely to Benefit from Early Docetaxel: Further Analyses of CHAARTED and GETUG-AFU15 Studies.

Background: Docetaxel (D) at the time of starting androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic castrate naive prostate cancer shows a clear survival benefit for patients with high-volume (HV) disease. It is unclear whether patients with low-volume (LV) disease benefit from early D.

Objective: To define the overall survival (OS) of aggregate data of patient subgroups from the CHAARTED and GETUG-AFU15 studies, defined by metastatic burden (HV and LV) and time of metastasis occurrence (at diagnosis or after prior local treatment [PRLT]).
