Abstract:
11510 Background: Multiple treatment options are available for mCRPC. Being able to predict toxicity risk for different treatments in older adults can aid treatment decision-making and supportive care. The CARG tool is a promising toxicity risk prediction tool for chemotherapy, but has not been specifically validated in the mCRPC setting for either chemotherapy or androgen receptor targeted agents. We prospectively evaluated the ability of the CARG tool to predict risk of clinically relevant grade 2 and grade 3+ toxicity of treatment with chemotherapy (CHEMO) and abiraterone or enzalutamide (A/E) in older adults with mCRPC. Methods: Men age 65+ were enrolled in this prospective observational study at 3 academic centres, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and Kingston Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada. All grade 2 and grade 3+ toxicities were documented during cycle 1 of CHEMO or in the first 3 months of A/E via structured interviews and chart review. Lab abnormalities were documented only if resulting in emergency room visits, requiring treatment, or affecting subsequent oncologic treatment. Toxicity was rated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4. Logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of toxicity. Results: 64 men starting CHEMO (primarily docetaxel 60-75 mg/m^2, mean age 73y) and 59 men starting A/E (mean age 76y) were included. Clinically important grade 2 toxicities occurred in 86% and 70% of CHEMO and A/E patients, respectively. Grade 3+ toxicities occurred in 48% and 25% of CHEMO and A/E patients, respectively. The CARG tool was predictive of grade 3+ toxicities with CHEMO, which occurred in 22%, 53%, and 71% of low, moderate, and high risk groups (p = 0.017). However, the CARG tool was not predictive of grade 2 toxicities with CHEMO, or grade 2 or 3+ toxicities with A/E (Table). Conclusions: We provide external validation of the CARG tool in predicting grade 3+ toxicity in older men with mCRPC undergoing CHEMO. Grade 2 toxicities are very common with both CHEMO and A/E, and grade 3+ toxicity occurs in 1 in 4 older men on A/E. Additional efforts to identify men at higher risk of toxicity from various mCRPC treatments are warranted. [Table: see text]
