Comparative assessment of abiraterone or enzalutamide activity in the PROREPAIR-B study.

2018 
164Background: Germline mutations in DNA repair genes have been associated with poor prostate cancer outcomes in retrospectives studies. Such defects have been identified in 12% of mCRPC patients. Several studies are ongoing to assess the benefit of these patients from platinum-based chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors, but no conclusive data are available with regards to currently approved therapies for mCRPC, as Abiraterone or Enzalutamide. Methods: PROREPAIR-B (NCT03075735) is a prospective multicentre observational cohort study. Patients diagnosed with mCRPC, with unknown mutational status at study entry and who were going to start a first-line treatment for mCRPC were eligible. For this sub-analysis patients who received Abiraterone or Enzalutamide as first androgen receptor targeted therapy (ART) were selected. The endpoints of this sub-analysis included to assess the impact of BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, PALB2 and other germline mutations in DNA repair genes on cause-specific survival (CSS), progression-free s...
