6:30 PM – 7:00 PM — Registration and Dinner
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM — Educational Meeting

MODULE 1: Evolving Management of Nonmetastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (nmHSPC)

  • Rationale for the evaluation of treatment intensification with androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitors for patients with nmHSPC
  • Major efficacy and safety data, including overall survival outcomes, from the Phase III EMBARK trial evaluating enzalutamide and leuprolide versus enzalutamide or leuprolide alone for patients with nmHSPC and high-risk biochemical recurrence after definitive therapy
  • FDA approval and optimal application of enzalutamide with and without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in clinical practice
  • Published data with ADT intensification with apalutamide with or without abiraterone for patients with high-risk biochemically recurrent nmHSPC

MODULE 2: Current Hormonal Treatment for Metastatic HSPC (mHSPC)

  • Extended follow-up with abiraterone, enzalutamide and apalutamide in combination with ADT for patients with mHSPC
  • Published data from the Phase III ARANOTE study supporting the recent FDA approval of darolutamide/ADT for mHSPC
  • Clinical factors guiding the selection of a specific AR pathway inhibitor for patients with mHSPC; available datasets exploring the relative benefits of various approved agents
  • Published efficacy and safety data from the Phase III ARASENS trial evaluating darolutamide in combination with docetaxel and ADT for mHSPC
  • Optimal selection of candidates with mHSPC for triplet therapy with darolutamide/docetaxel/ADT

MODULE 3: Current and Future Role of Regimens Combining PARP Inhibitors and AR Pathway Inhibitors in Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

  • Incidence and clinical implications of BRCA1/2 and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) abnormalities in patients with metastatic prostate cancer; recommended timing and optimal method for genetic testing
  • Biological rationale for combining PARP inhibitors with secondary hormonal agents in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer
  • Long-term efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III PROpel, MAGNITUDE and TALAPRO-2 trials combining olaparib and abiraterone, niraparib and abiraterone and talazoparib and enzalutamide, respectively, in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
  • FDA-approved indications for olaparib/abiraterone, niraparib/abiraterone and talazoparib/enzalutamide for mCRPC; appropriate selection of a PARP inhibitor/secondary hormonal therapy combination for individual patients
  • Presented data from the Phase III AMPLITUDE trial evaluating the addition of niraparib to abiraterone/prednisone for patients with mHSPC harboring alterations in HRR genes; clinical implications
  • Ongoing Phase III TALAPRO-3 and EvoPAR-Prostate01 trials evaluating talazoparib and saruparib, respectively, in combination with secondary hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC; anticipated completion dates

MODULE 4: Emerging Role of AKT Inhibition in Therapy for Patients with mHSPC

  • Biological justification for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway with capivasertib in prostate cancer; rationale for benefit for patients with PTEN-deficient disease
  • Frequency of PTEN deficiency in prostate cancer; indications for and optimal timing of and approach to PTEN assessment
  • Design, eligibility criteria and primary and secondary endpoints of the Phase III CAPItello-281 trial assessing capivasertib with abiraterone/ADT for patients with de novo mHSPC and PTEN deficiency
  • Recently presented positive results from the CAPItello-281 trial with the addition of capivasertib to abiraterone/ADT for PTEN-deficient mHSPC
  • Spectrum of toxicities associated with capivasertib; recommended monitoring and management strategies
  • Potential integration of capivasertib/abiraterone/ADT into mHSPC treatment algorithms; optimal use with regard to other currently available regimens

MODULE 5: Current and Future Use of Radiopharmaceuticals for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

  • Long-term data with and current role of radium-223 monotherapy in mCRPC treatment algorithms
  • Key efficacy and safety findings from the Phase III PEACE III trial of radium-223 and enzalutamide versus enzalutamide alone as first-line therapy for mCRPC with bone metastases; implications for clinical management
  • Published Phase III datasets with lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan for patients with taxane-naïve and taxane-pretreated, PSMA-positive mCRPC; appropriate sequencing with regard to other available therapies
  • Recently presented results from the Phase III PSMAddition study evaluating the addition of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan to hormonal therapy for patients with PSMA-positive mHSPC; implications for clinical practice
  • Early findings with and ongoing evaluation of other PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals for metastatic prostate cancer

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to 

  • Infer how various clinical and biological factors affect the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after local therapy, and design appropriate treatment plans for patients with consideration of the risks and potential benefits of new and established forms of hormonal therapy.
  • Appraise published research findings on optimal therapeutic approaches for patients with biochemical recurrence after local therapy for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate candidates regarding the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic treatment options.
  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options for patients.
  • Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.
  • Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into clinical management algorithms.
  • Appreciate the biological rationale for targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in prostate cancer, and evaluate available data with novel AKT inhibitors in combination with hormonal therapy for patients with mHSPC and PTEN deficiency.
  • Review available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and consider the current and future clinical role of these strategies.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
