PROSELICA Trial–Efficacy & Safety Overview

Study Design

A large, noninferiority, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial in patients (N=1200) with mCRPC who previously received docetaxel. These patients were randomized 1:1 to JEVTANA 20 mg/m2 (n=598) or JEVTANA 25 mg/m2 (n=602). The trial included patients with high disease burden and rapid progression after docetaxel.1,2

mCRPC=metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.


JEVTANA 20 mg/m2 Dose Was Validated in the PROSELICA Trial, Delivering a Median Overall Survival (OS) Comparable to 25 mg/m2 1,2

Per-Protocol Population: Median OS

  • Per intent-to-treat population: 13.4 months (95% CI: 12.2-14.9) median OS for JEVTANA 20 mg/m2 and 14.5 months (95% CI: 13.5-15.3) for JEVTANA 25 mg/m2 (HR=1.024) (97.78% CI: 0.886-1.184)1

No notable difference in OS was observed in subgroups based on the stratification factors of ECOG PS score, measurability of disease, or region1

ECOG PS=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status.

  • Grade 1-4 ARs occurring ≥5% more commonly in patients on 25 mg/m2 vs 20 mg/m2 were leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, hematuria, and asthenia
  • Grade 3-4 ARs occurring ≥5% more commonly in patients on 25 mg/m2 vs 20 mg/m2 were leukopenia, neutropenia, and febrile neutropenia

17% of patients on 20 mg/m2 and 20% of patients on 25 mg/m2 discontinued treatment due to ARs.
The most common ARs leading to treatment discontinuation were fatigue and hematuria.1

Fewer Patients Receiving 20 mg/m2 Were Reported to Have Infectious ARs1

  • Grade 1-4 infections were experienced by 28% (160) of patients receiving 20 mg/m2 vs 38% (227) of patients receiving 25 mg/m2
  • Grade 3-4 infections were experienced by 10% (57) of patients receiving 20 mg/m2 vs 20% (120) of patients receiving 25 mg/m2
