Filed in the EU, supported by data from the PIII MAGNITUDE study [3].
Category
An androgen biosynthesis inhibitor. Abiraterone selectively inhibits the enzyme 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase (CYP17). This enzyme is expressed in and is required for androgen biosynthesis in testicular, adrenal and prostatic tumour tissues.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and makes up 26% of all male cancer diagnoses in the UK. The age-standardised incidence of prostate cancer in the UK in 2014 was 175 per 100,000 population [1].

Feb 22
Data announced from PIII MAGNITUDE study. The cohort of patients with prospectively-identified HRR gene alterations enrolled 423 patients, with patients randomised to receive the combination of niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (combination arm [n=212]) or placebo and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (control arm [n=211]). At 18.6-month median follow-up, patients in the combination arm of the cohort with HRR gene alterations showed a significant improvement in rPFS, with a reduction in the risk of progression or death of 27 percent (hazard ratio [HR] 0.73; p=0.022). This improvement was most pronounced in patients with BRCA1/2 gene alterations, where a 47 percent risk reduction was observed for rPFS (HR 0.53; p=0.001), as analyzed by blinded independent central review (BICR). A consistent but greater improvement was observed in investigator-assessed rPFS, which showed an overall 36 percent risk reduction in patients with HRR gene alterations (HR: 0.64; p=0.002), and a 50 percent risk reduction in patients with BRCA1/2 gene alterations (HR: 0.50; p=0.0006). The cohort without HRR gene alterations (n=233) met the predefined futility criteria in August 2020, showing no benefit from the treatment combination (HR>1) in the HRR biomarker negative population. Additionally, objective response rate was improved by the combination of niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone. Overall survival data were immature at this interim analysis and follow-up will continue for all secondary endpoints [2,3].
Feb 19
PIII MAGNITUDE trial to compare niraparib in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone vs. abiraterone and prednisone in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer starts (NCT03748641; 64091742PCR3001; CR108534). 1,000 patients will be recruited in countries including the US & EU (plus UK). Collection of primary outcome date (radiographic progression-free survival) is due to complete Jul 22 [2].
