Fizazi, Lancet Oncology 2012 La risposta ad abiraterone è indipendente dalla risposta alla prima linea con docetaxel e dalla sua durata I dati dello studio 301 mostrano l’efficacia di abiraterone nei pazienti con Buona risposta alla chemioterapia (>3 mesi prima dell’inizio del nuovo trattamento) Risposta non buona (<3 mesi prima dell’inizio del nuovo trattamento) Breve esposizione precedente al docetaxel (<3 mesi) Più lunga esposizione precedente al docetaxel (>3 mesi)

Abiraterone ritarda il tempo al deterioramento della QoL Il tempo mediano al deterioramento della QoL (punteggio totale FACT-P) è stato di 12.1 mesi nel gruppo abiraterone + prednisone e 8.4 mesi nel gruppo placebo + prednisone Harland et al. ECCO 2011: Abstract 7001

Patient Type 1 Received up to 4 cycles of Taxotere and has never responded to the treatment. Patient Type 2 Responding during the initial cycles of treatment and progresses while on treatment (patient received between 4 to 10 consecutive cycles). Patient Type 3 Responding during all treatment (patient received up to 10 or more cycles). Then patient progresses within 6 months after the last cycle of Taxotere Patient Type 4 Responding during all treatment (patient received up to 10 or more cycles). Then patient progresses more than 6 months after the last cycle of Taxotere Patient Type 0b Discontinued due to toxicity Patient Type 0a Unsuitable for chemotherapy Distribution of 1 st line docetaxel patients Patient segments who are unsuitable for CT 21%27%34%20%
