ARCHES: Efficacy of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with enzalutamide (ENZA) or placebo (PBO) in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).

5048 Background: ENZA has demonstrated benefit in men with metastatic and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ARCHES assessed the efficacy of ENZA with ADT in men with mHSPC, including pre-specified subgroups based on prior therapy. Methods: ARCHES, a multinational, double-blind, Phase 3 study (NCT02677896), randomized patients (pts) with mHSPC 1:1 to ENZA (160 mg/day) + ADT or PBO + ADT, stratified by disease volume (CHAARTED criteria) and prior docetaxel (doce) use. Primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; centrally assessed radiographic progression or death within 24 weeks of treatment discontinuation). Secondary endpoints included time to initiation of new antineoplastic therapy and overall survival (OS). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 1150 men were randomized to ENZA (n = 574) or PBO (n = 576). Overall, 63% had high-volume disease, 18% had prior doce, and 91% had prior ADT or orchiectomy (orch). Median follow-up was 14.4 mo. ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS (Table); significant improvements in rPFS were also reported in prior treatment subgroups. Secondary endpoints improved with ENZA + ADT (Table), with no significant impact in time to deterioration in urinary symptoms. OS data are immature. Grade 3–4 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 23.6% of ENZA pts vs. 24.7% of PBO pts with no unexpected AEs. Conclusions: ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS and other efficacy endpoints vs. PBO + ADT in men with mHSPC. Preliminary safety analysis appears consistent with the safety profile of ENZA in previous CRPC clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02677896. [Table: see text]
