ABSTRACT

Apalutamide, an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, in combination with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), is approved for treatment of patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, based on the data from the phase 3 SPARTAN and TITAN studies respectively. Apalutamide is an inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes and P-glycoprotein, which are involved in the metabolism of oral anticoagulants (OACs) and may thus have potential drug-drug interactions when co-administered with OACs. Concomitant use of certain OACs such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran, and warfarin was allowed in the SPARTAN and TITAN studies. A post-hoc analysis was conducted to evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent thrombotic and embolic adverse events (AEs) in patients receiving concomitant OACs with apalutam ide + ADT or placebo + ADT in both the studies. Anticoagulants were identified by WHO Drug Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical level 4 classifications. Thrombotic and embolic AEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities Version 22.1. Data were analyzed from patients receiving concurrent OACs among all treated patients in SPARTAN (apalutamide + ADT: 95/803 [11.8%]; placebo + ADT: 48/398 [12.1%]) and TITAN (apalutamide + ADT: 31/524 [5.9%]; placebo + ADT: 28/527 [5.3%]). No consequential differences were observed in the occurrence of thrombotic and embolic events between apalutamide + ADT and placebo + ADT groups receiving concomitant OACs in SPARTAN (11.6% vs 12.5%) or TITAN (19.4% vs 21.4%). Grade 3/4 thrombotic and embolic AEs observed in patients receiving concomitant OACs with apalutamide + ADT or placebo + ADT were 6 (6.3%) vs 5 (10.4%) in SPARTAN and 3 (9.7%) vs 1 (3.6%) in TITAN. This analysis suggests that when necessary, concomitant OACs can be used with apalutamide with appropriate monitoring.
