Study Design
A randomized, open-label, multicenter trial in patients (N=255) with mCRPC who previously received docetaxel and had progressed within 12 months on an androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor—either abiraterone or enzalutamide. These patients were randomized 1:1 to JEVTANA ® (cabazitaxel) injection (n=129) or abiraterone or enzalutamide (n=126); patients received abiraterone if they were previously treated with enzalutamide, or enzalutamide if they were previously treated with abiraterone. 1,2
mCRPC=metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
46% Relative Reduction in Risk of Radiographic Progression or Death With JEVTANA® (cabazitaxel) injection vs Abiraterone or Enzalutamide1,2
Primary Endpoint: rPFS (Intent-to-treat Population)
.svg)
All efficacy analyses were performed on the intent-to-treat population, at the cutoff date for 196 rPFS events 2
In terms of therapy sequence prior to randomization, rPFS was consistent across the subgroups of patients who received abiraterone/enzalutamide prior to docetaxel (HR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.39-0.96) and those who received abiraterone/enzalutamide after docetaxel (HR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.32-0.70). 1
rPFS=radiographic progression-free survival.
Overall Survival (OS) Was Significantly Improved With JEVTANA Compared With Abiraterone or Enzalutamide 1,2
Other Efficacy Outcome: OS (Intent-to-treat Population)

At the cutoff date, 153 deaths were noted, with 70 deaths (54.3%) occurring in the JEVTANA 25 mg/m 2 group and 83 (65.9%) in the abiraterone or enzalutamide group 2
CARD Tumor Response Rate
JEVTANA Delivered a ≥30% Tumor Reduction in 3X More Patients vs Abiraterone or Enzalutamide 1,2
Tumor Response (Patients With Measurable Disease at Baseline) 1,2

Percent of Patients
- Partial response was measured by RECIST criteria, which is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters 3
