`presented data suggesting that antagonism of
`cxtratcsticular androgcns and suppression of tes-
`ticular androgcns substantially improves the re—
`sponsc and survival of individuals with meta-
`static prostatic cancer compared with individuals
`who undergo suppression of testicular androgens
`only. Preliminary analysis of a randomized trial
`suggests a small
`improvement
`in disease-free
`survival for patients treated with total androgen
`deprivation.2 in men whose prostatic cancer is
`progressing despite testicular androgen ablation,
`antagonism of adrenal secretion of “minor” an-
`drogcns (dehydrocpiandrosterone [DHEAS] and
`androstencdionc [A2]) occasionally appears to be
`beneficial. Improvement in approximately 20%

`coids (hydrocortisone, 20 mg 8 AM, 10 mg 4 PM, and 8
`PM) were administered to 38 patients with advanced
`prostatic cancer, refractory to at least initial tasticular
`androgen deprivation. Thirty patients were com-
`pletely evaluable; six were withdrawn due to possible
`ltetoeonazale-related toxicity and were considered
`drug failures. Two patients were unevaluable due to
`intercurrent therapy or inability to maintain lollow»
`up. Ketoconazole was generally well tolerated. Mild
`or moderate nausea and vomiting occurred in 37% of
`patients, but required dose modification or discontinu-
`ation in onlyr three patients; no hepatic damage was
`seen. Five of 36 patients (I 4%} responded to ketocon-

`tients. Plasma testosterone (T) levels were low and
`remained unchanged, while ganadattapins were per-

`was 6.6 rig/ml. after 28 days of therapy. While
`ketoconazole with hydrocortisone does suppress plasma

`

`METHODS
`
`Treatment
`
`Ketoconazole. 400 mg. was administered orally every eight
`hours. All patients received physiologic glucocortioojd replace-
`ment therapy with 20 mg of hydrocortisone in the morning,
`10 mg at 4 PM. and 10 mg at 8 PM.
`
`Study Parameters
`Patients were evaluated by history. physical examination.
`serum electrolytes. crcatinine, liver function tests. and acid
`phosphatase before therapy, 2 weeks after beginning therapy,
`and then at monthly intervals. Chest
`radiographs were
`repeated monthly if initially abnormal or every 3 months if
`initially normal; bone scans and pelvic computerized tomog—
`raphy (CT) scans were done before therapy and every 3
`months. if initially abnormal, to assess response.
`
`Endocrinologic Assessment
`Plasma testosterone (T).
`follicle-stimulating hormone
`{FSH}, luteinizing hormone (Ll-I), DHEAS. A2, and estra—
`diol
`(E1) were measured before therapy and at monthly
`intervals using standard radioimmunoassay procedures. Ketc-
`conazole plasma levels were also assessed monthly using a
`described microbiologic assay.1 Plasma prostate-specific anti-
`gen (PSA) was assessed before therapy and monthly by
`radioimmunoassay (Hybritech). All blood samples were
`drawn between 3 AM and 10 AM.
`
`Response Criteria
`Responses were assessed using the prostate cancer response
`criteria oi" the ECOG. Measurable disease: partial response
`was defined as a 50% or greater reduction in the sum of the
`products of the perpendicular diameters of measurable tumor
`
`TRUMP ET AL
`
`masses persisting for more than I month in the absence of the
`appearance of new lesions. Evaluable bone scan response was
`defined as a return to normal in 50% or more of the abnormal
`areas noted on pretreatment scan without the appearance of
`new lesions. Progression was defined as (l) a 25% or greater
`increase in the product of the perpendicular diameters of
`measurable tumor masses or, (2) development of new areas of
`metastatic disease as assesaed by plain radiograph, bone scan.
`CT scan, or physical examination or detericration by 2 levels
`in PS.
`
`RESULTS
`
`Thirtyseight patients were entered in this trial.
`Patient characteristics are listed in Ta ble 1.
`
`These patients had good PS and were not heavily
`pretreated with systemic therapies. Twenty-one
`of 38 patients had received only a single systemic
`hormonal
`therapy for prostate cancer (13. or-
`chiectomy; five. DES; and three GnRi—la}. While
`45% of the patients had received two or more
`systemic therapies. only three had received cyto-
`toxic chemotherapy (one, carboplatin; one, doxo-
`rubicin; and one, estramustinc phosphate). OF 38
`patients entered. two were declared unevaluablc:
`one due to the initiation of radiation on day 3 of
`ketoconazole therapy. and the other due to inabil-
`ity to maintain follow—up. Six ofthe remaining 36
`patients (16%) discontinued ketoconazole due to
`possible or definite drug-related toxicity. Unman-
`ageable nausea and vomiting prompted discontin-
`uation of ketoconazole in three patients (3%). In
`two of these three patients, nausea and vomiting
`developed after 11!; and 2 months of therapy. was
`accompanied by evidence of progressive disease.

`and did not resolve with discontinuation of keto-
`
`conazole: in the third patient, nausea and vomit-
`ing began immediately on initiation of ketocona-
`sole. persisted despite dose reduction, and
`prompted drug discontinuation on day 15 of
`treatment. The other events leading to termina-
`tion of therapy were (I) acute myocardial infarc-
`tion, cardiogenic shock, and death on day 7 in a
`man with known coronary artery disease; (2)
`reversible mild renal dysfunction (creatinine 2.3
`mg/dL). which resolved with discontinuation of
`ketoconazole and nonsteroidal antiinflammalory
`agents; and (3) itchy teeth and hair loss without
`physical signs of toxicity or other toxic symptoms
`in this patient. Thirty patients were able to
`continue therapy without undue toxicity until
`clear cut response or progression occurred. and
`are evaluable for response.

`therapy. Characteristics of the responding pa-
`tients are noted in Table 2. The objective re-
`sponse rate following ketoconazole was low: 17%
`of evaluable patients and 13% of all patients
`entered. All five responding patients had under-
`gone orchicctomy prior to treatment with ketocon-
`azole. Disease-free interval. age, PS, disease
`distribution, and initial endocrinologic data were
`not remarkably difi'erent
`in these five patients

`Plasma A2 content varied among patients at
`entry: it ranged from 6.9 to 202 ng/dL (normal,
`80 to 200 ng/dL).
`In 32 patients, data after

`
`judgement regarding response or progression in
`these patients with advanced prostatic cancer.
`
`Toxicity
`
`of a randomized trial comparing CrnRHa with
`GnRHa plus antiandrogcns suggests a small. but
`significant,
`improvement
`in time to systemic
`progression for the combined treatment group.2
`Ketoconazole plus hydrocortisone as employed
`in our trial consistently reduces adrenal steroid
`production. Plasma DHEAS and A2 levels were
`substantially reduced in all patients in whom
`detectable ketoconazole levels could be mea-
`sured. This finding differs from the report of
`Ahmartn et a].21 who found that
`the adrenal
`steroid synthesis inhibitors aminoglutethimide
`and hydrocortisone were not effective in reducing
`plasma A2 levels. In the study of aminoglutethi-
`mide. DHEAS level fell in a manner similar to
`the changes we noted with ketoconazole plus
`hydrocortisone.
`From studies in which hydrocortisone has been
`used in conjunction with an adrenal antagonist, it
`is not clear what the relative roles of the antago-
`nist and the glucocorticoid are in reducing plasma
`androgens.
`In the present study. a physiologic
`replacement dose of hydrocortisone was em-
`ployed. It is unlikely that direct antiproliferative
`effects or nonspecific constitutional effects of
`hydrocortisone contributed to the responses that
`Wflf'C SCEU.
`
`addition. Rochlitz et a] have recently reported
`
`The major toxicity ol‘this regimen was nausea
`and vomiting. Thirty-seven percent of patients
`experienced at least grade 2 nausea and vomiting:
`one patient required dose reduction to control
`nausea and vomiting.
`In three patients, emesis
`was uncontrollable and prompted discontinuav
`tion of ketoconazole. Hepatic toxicity was not an
`important problem. Three patients experienced
`increase in plasma alkaline phosphatase without
`change in transaminases or bilirubin.
`In these
`three patients, progressive bone disease was
`present. In a fourth patient. hyperbilirubinemia
`occurred during ketoconazole therapy at a time
`when progressive hepatic metastases were evi-
`dent. Dose modification was not required for
`hepatic toxicity. No other serious or important
`drug-related toxicity was encountered. A com-
`mon complaint among patients in this trial was
`dryness of the skin. No objective findings were
`noted coincident with this complaint.
`
`DISCUSSION
`
`Treatment of men with prostatic cancer pro-
`gression despite antagonism of testicular andro-
`gens is unsatisfactory. For many years. attempts
`to further deprive these cancer cells of remaining
`androgens have been employed. A2 and DHEAS
`are the main androgens of adrenal origins. These
`compounds are weak androgens in their own
`right and may additionally be converted by a
`variety of peripheral body tissues to' T and
`dihydrotestosteronem'z' Adrenalectomy. hy-
`pophysectomy. antiandrogens. progestational
`agents. and aminoglutethimide have been used to
`either inhibit secretion of adrenal androgens or
`to antagonize androgen action on the tumor
`cells.3"“ While response rates as high as 40% to
`50% have been reported with these measures.
`clear-cut. objective tumor mass reduction is infre-
`quently seen. No improvement
`in survival
`is
`associated with the use of adrenal androgen
`antagonists as secondary hormonal therapy. Lab-
`rie et alI have proposed the use of adrenal and
`testicular androgen antagonists as part of total
`androgen deprivation in the initial treatment of
`advanced prostatic cancer.1 Preliminary analysis
`
`If one were to use stable disease at 90 days
`after initiation of therapy, a response criterion
`employed in other studies. 50% of patients would
`be considered responders. Overall, ketoconazole
`plus hydrocortisone Would have to be judged
`generally inefi‘ective as secondary hormone ther-
`apy for most patients with advanced prostatic
`cancer. However,
`it
`is provocative that definite
`tumor mass reduction was documented in five
`patients.
`
`It appears that a small subset of previously
`hormone-treated patients with prostatic cancer
`may respond to kctoconazole plus hydrocorti~
`sone. Responses were limited to patients who had
`undergone orchiectomy. This regimen was reason-
`ably well tolerated in prostatic cancer patients.
`The results of this study.
`the responses seen
`following aminoglutethimide. and the prelimi-
`nary data from the leuprolide plus or minus
`flutamide trial, all suggest a small. but poten-
`tially important. role for antagonism of adrenal
`androgens in individuals with prostate cancer. In

`direct antiproliferative effects of ketoconazole, as
`well as the enhancement of the antiproliferative
`effects of
`fluorodeoxyuridine and etoposide
`(VPl 61.233“ This latter effect appears to be asse-
`
`ciated with enhanced intracellular retention of
`
`cytotoxic drug. Further exploration of ketocona-
`zole-cytetexic drug interaction may be war-
`ranted.
