117 Background: Endothelin-1 and the endothelin A (ETA) receptor have been implicated in prostate cancer progression in bone. Zibotentan, a specific ETA receptor antagonist, had a promising signal for prolonged overall survival (OS) in a phase II study of patients with CRPC and bone metastases who were pain free or mildly symptomatic for pain. The aim of this phase III study was to confirm the efficacy and safety of zibotentan in a similar but larger population. METHODS: Patients with CRPC and bone metastases were randomized 1:1 to zibotentan 10 mg/day po or placebo, plus standard of care including chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints included times to pain progression, chemotherapy use, new bone metastases, and safety. Efficacy endpoints were analyzed using a log-rank test. At least 263 deaths were required for formal analysis. If the true hazard ratio (HR) for zibotentan versus placebo was 0.67, the analysis would have 90% power to demonstrate a statistically significant effect in OS at the 5% level. RESULTS: A total of 594 patients were randomized (299 to zibotentan; 295 to placebo). Baseline group demographics were similar. Mean age was ∼71 yrs, and 64% were Caucasian. Although median OS was longer in zibotentan-treated patients than those receiving placebo (median 24.5 vs 22.5 months), the difference did not reach significance (HR [95.2% confidence interval]; 0.87 [0.69-1.10]: P=0.240). No significant differences were observed for any secondary endpoints. The most commonly reported AEs in the zibotentan group, peripheral edema and headache, were consistent with the pharmacologic action of zibotentan as a vasodilator. Cardiac failure events, actively solicited following a phase II signal, were higher in the zibotentan group (any grade, 5.7%; Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] grade ≥3, 3.0%) than placebo (any grade, 1.7%; CTCAE grade ≥3, 1.0%), but were manageable and reversible. CONCLUSIONS: In this placebo-controlled phase III trial treatment with zibotentan 10 mg/day did not lead to a significant improvement in OS in patients with CRPC and bone metastases. Zibotentan had an acceptable safety profile. [Table: see text].
