Treatment

ADT + Docetaxel

For men with metastatic non-castrate prostate cancer with high volume disease per CHAARTED who are candidates for treatment with chemotherapy, the addition of docetaxel to ADT should be offered. (EB, H, S)
614
For patients with low volume disease per CHAARTED who are candidates for chemotherapy, docetaxel plus ADT may be offered. (EB, H, M)
614
The appropriate regimen of docetaxel is six doses of docetaxel given every three weeks at 75 mg/m2 either alone (per CHAARTED) or with prednisolone (per STAMPEDE). (EB, H, S)
614

ADT + Abiraterone

For men with high-risk de novo metastatic non-castrate prostate cancer, the addition of abiraterone to ADT should be offered, per LATITUDE. (EB, H, S)
614
For men with lower-risk de novo metastatic non-castrate prostate cancer abiraterone may be offered, per STAMPEDE. (EB, H, M)
614
The appropriate regimen is abiraterone 1000 mg with either prednisolone or prenisone 5 mg once daily until treatment(s) for mCRPC are initiated. (EB, H, S)
614

Key Recommendation

Docetaxel and abiraterone are two separate standards of care for metastatic non-castrate prostate cancer. The use of both standards in combination or in series has not been assessed and therefore cannot be recommended. (EB, S)

Qualifying Statements

For subsets of men with newly diagnosed metastatic non-castrate disease, treatment with abiraterone or docetaxel in combination with ADT should be offered on the basis of prolonging life relative to ADT alone. For docetaxel, the data are most compelling for men with de novo high volume metastatic non-castrate prostate cancer (defined as four or more bone metastases, one or more of which is outside of the spine or pelvis; and/or, the presence of any visceral disease) who are chemotherapy candidates. The appropriate regimen of docetaxel is six doses of docetaxel given every three weeks at 75 mg/m2 either alone (per CHAARTED) or with prednisolone per STAMPEDE). (EB, H, S)
614
Men with de novo metastatic non-castrate high-risk disease per LATITUDE (two or more of the factors of Gleason score ≥8, ≥3 bone metastases, and measurable visceral disease) who are fit for treatment with abiraterone should receive ADT and AAP. Lower risk men may also be offered ADT and AAP (per STAMPEDE). The appropriate regimen is abiraterone 1000 mg with either prednisolone or prednisone 5 mg once daily. (EB, H, S)
