IMPORTANCE
Drug development for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has been
limited by a lack of clinically relevant trial end points short of overall survival (OS).
Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) as defined by the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials
Working Group 2 (PCWG2) is a candidate end point that represents a clinically meaningful
benefit to patients.
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the robustness of the PCWG2 definition and to examine the
relationship between rPFS and OS.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS
PREVAIL was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled multinational study that enrolled 1717 chemotherapy-naive men with
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer from September 2010 through September
2012. The data were analyzed in November 2016.
INTERVENTIONS
Patients were randomized 1:1 to enzalutamide 160 mg or placebo until
