ARCHES: 5-year follow-up overall survival (OS) analysis of enzalutamide (ENZA) plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients (pts) with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
5005 Background: In 2021, final prespecified OS (key secondary endpoint; defined as time from randomization to death from any cause) analysis of the global phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled ARCHES trial (NCT02677896) demonstrated that ENZA + ADT significantly reduced risk of death by 34% versus PBO + ADT in pts with mHSPC (medians not reached [NR]; hazard ratio [HR] 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53–0.81; p<0.0001; median follow-up, 44.6 months). To assess long-term efficacy of ENZA + ADT, we report an updated OS analysis as of July 31, 2024 (median follow-up, 61.4 months). Methods: In ARCHES, 1150 enrolled pts with mHSPC were randomized 1:1 to ENZA (160 mg once daily) + ADT or PBO + ADT. After primary analysis of radiographic progression-free survival (primary endpoint), ARCHES was unblinded to allow eligible patients who were randomized to PBO + ADT to cross over to ENZA + ADT in an open-label extension. Using extended follow-up data with median follow-up >5 years (cut-off date: July 31, 2024), Kaplan–Meier method was used to summarize the OS endpoint by treatment, with two-sided 95% CIs calculated by the Brookmeyer–Crowley method. HRs relative to PBO + ADT were determined using Cox regression model stratified for prior docetaxel use and disease volume. Results: ENZA + ADT (n=574; median [range] age = 70.0 [46–92] years) and PBO + ADT (n=576; median [range] age = 70.0 [42–92] years) cohorts had similar baseline characteristics. 184 (31.9%) PBO + ADT pts crossed over to open-label ENZA + ADT (median [range] age = 69.0 [51–89] years). After a median follow-up of 61.4 months, ENZA + ADT extended survival compared with PBO + ADT (medians NR; HR 0.70; 95% CI: 0.58–0.85; p=0.0003), with consistently improved survival across clinically relevant subgroups analyzed (Table), including a 36-month improvement in median OS in high-volume patients. Conclusions: Long-term follow-up of ARCHES demonstrated results consistent with previous OS analyses, with marked benefit in all study subgroups, including high- and low-volume patients, despite a substantial cross-over cohort. These findings further support ENZA + ADT as a standard-of-care for pts with mHSPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02677896 .
