2 Advanced Stage Disease 1.Clinical States: A framework for drug development. 2.Dissecting the lethal phenotype. 3.Targeting AR signaling: MDV3100. 4.CTC as a biomarker.

5 Clinical Trials Are Experiments Conducted With Therapeutic Intent 1. Objective:Goals and therapeutic aim. 2. Patient population:Entry criteria: minimize heterogeneity, or enrich for specific characteristics. 3. Intervention:Mechanism: cidal, static, targeted. Dose and schedule: safety. 4. Outcomes:Endpoints: (aka response criteria). Phase 2: ? Signal, if so, how strong? Statistical design. 5.Conclusions:Was the question answered? Is continued development justified?

6 1.Insure a drug is no longer working before stopping therapy. 2.Report PSA changes using waterfall plots. 3.Confirm bone scan findings with a second scan. 4.Eliminate overall response as an outcome: focus on time to event. Outcome Measures Are Biomarkers To be Validated Analytically and Qualified Clinically

7 Building on Docetaxel As the First-Line Standard of Care Rising PSA Clinically Localized Disease 1 Rising PSA: Castrate Clinical Metastases: Non-Castrate 2 Clinical Metastases: Castrate Pre- 3 Clinical Metastases Castrate 1st Line Docetaxel Standard 4 Clinical Metastases: Castrate 2 nd Line No Standard 1.New agents: many classes: cytotoxics, biologics, signaling inhibitors, proapoptotic - microenvironment directed 2.Combinations:

12 Advanced Stage Disease 1.Clinical States: A framework for drug development. 2.Dissecting the lethal phenotype. 3.Targeting AR signaling: MDV3100. 4.CTC as a biomarker.

13 Androgen Depletion Produces Declines in PSA and Tumor Shrinkage, Followed by Regrowth as a Castration-Resistant Lesion Castrate “T” < 50 ng/dl 1.As initial treatment: Androgen depletion is not curative. 2.A rising PSA shows the AR is signaling and a transition to a lethal phenotype.

14 Clinical Insights into Castration-Resistant Progression Guiding Drug Development 1. Rising PSA levels are consistent with continued AR signaling. 2.Clinical significance of AR targeting is reinforced by the response to secondary hormone therapies, as well as the “withdrawal”/ “discontinuation” of anti-androgens. 3.This suggests antagonists later functions as an agonist as the disease progresses. 4.The AR ligand binding domain is clinically relevant and contributes to progression.

Does the decision to GIVE chemotherapy render the tumor resistant to a hormonal intervention?
