 The CARD study was a multicenter, randomized, open-label study enrolling patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer who progressed in less than 12 months on prior androgen receptor-targeted agent1 (before or after docetaxel therapy).
Presented by Bertrand F. Tombal, MD, PhD
The CARD trial, initially presented at ESMO 2019 and subsequently published, addressed the question of appropriate third line therapy in mCRPC for patients who had previously received docetaxel and also progressed on an anti-androgen therapy (either abiraterone or enzalutamide) within 12 months.

Prostate cancer is the 2nd and 3rd leading cause of cancer death in the USA and in Europe, respectively,1,2 with most deaths occurring in men over the age of 75. In men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), there are multiple treatment options available today,
As medical oncologists, urologists, radiation oncologists, and other clinicians, we find ourselves feeling very comfortable understanding Kaplan Meier survival curves and forest plots describing subgroups in the setting of different treatments. We review CTCAE adverse event data, drilling down on the 10% of adverse effects that happen most commonly, and nearly always arrive at the conclusion that “such and such treatment is relatively well tolerated”.

San Francisco, California (UroToday.com) The survival outcomes of the CARD trial, a practice-informing study of men with pre-treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), have previously been reported.

The robust outcome of CARD with a hazard ratio (HR) for radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) 0.54 in favor of cabazitaxel allows meaningful subgroup analyses. Preplanned subgroups of particular interest and that, importantly, retained statistical significance including the time to failure on the first androgen receptor targeted agents (ARTA) (0-6 months, 6-12 months) and the docetaxel- first ARTA sequence.

Barcelona, Spain (UroToday.com) Dr. De Wit’s presentation of the positive CARD trial, Dr. Silke Gillessen provided an invited discussion regarding the implications and practice-changing measures that result from these findings.

The efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel, as compared with an androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were previously treated with docetaxel and had progression within 12 months while receiving the alternative inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide) are unclear.

Presented by Ronald De Wit, MD, PhD
Barcelona, Spain (UroToday.com) Multiple therapeutic options have been approved for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), including the second-generation anti-androgens abiraterone and enzalutamide, and chemotherapy with docetaxel or cabazitaxel.
