Segment Description:
Tian Zhang, MD, discusses data from the following presentation: “Objective Computerized Cognitive Assessment in Men With Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Randomly Receiving Darolutamide or Enzalutamide in the ODENZA Trial.” (Colomba, ESMO 2021, 603P)
Segment Body Content:
ODENZA (NCT03314324) is a prospective, cross-over, preference, randomized phase 2 trial of darolutamide and enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC.
Methods
Patients (n = 249) were randomized 1:1 to receive darolutamide 1200 mg daily for 12 weeks followed by enzalutamide 160 mg daily for 12 weeks or the reverse sequence.
Cognitive assessment using computerized cognitive tests (Cogstate) was a key secondary end point of ODENZA.
Cognitive tests were prospectively realized by patients with laptop and questionnaire.
Changes from baseline were described by assessing each 12 weeks period.
Individual tests (detection test: psychomotor function; identification test: visual attention; one-back test: working memory; International Shopping List Test (ISL): verbal learning; International Shopping List Test Delayed Recall (ISRL): verbal memory; Groton Maze Learning: executive function) were used and 3 composite scores (eg ISL/ISRL for episodic memory) were created.
Treatment effects were analyzed using Mixed-Effects Model Repeated Measures.
Effect sizes were classified as clinically meaningful when greater than or equal to 0.5.
Results
Cognitive data were available in 193 patients among 250 patients enrolled in ODENZA trial.
Performance on verbal learning (ISL) was significantly better with darolutamide at each of the postbaseline assessments, within both periods and when averaged over periods.
Effects were clinically meaningful at the second period (0.62, P = .0001) and overall (0.54, P < .0001).
Performance on verbal memory (ISRL) was significantly better with darolutamide at the second period and when averaged over periods
However, the effect sizes were less meaningful (second period: 0.4, P = .01 and overall: 0.29, P = .0075).
No difference in other tests was found. The composite scores reported a moderate benefit in episodic memory after treatment with darolutamide compared with enzalutamide.
Conclusions
In early mCRPC, darolutamide was associated with a statistically significant benefit in verbal learning and verbal memory compared with enzalutamide.
