The Unmet Medical Need in mCRPC
• Standard of care in first-line mCRPC is docetaxel¹ – 19.2 months median overall survival (OS) with docetaxel vs
16.3 months with mitoxantrone– 21% reduction in risk of death (HR=0.79 [95% CI: 0.67–0.93],
P =.004)
• When progression on or after treatment withdocetaxel occurs²:– No currently approved standard second-line therapy– Treatment options include supportive care or investigational drugs– Palliation only, no OS benefit demonstrated

Cabazitaxel:A New Tubulin-Targeting Agent
• New semi-synthetic taxane– Selected to overcome the emergence of taxane resistance¹,²
• Preclinical data¹,²– As potent as docetaxel against sensitive cell lines and tumor models– Active against tumor cells/models resistant to currently available
taxanes
• Clinical data– In Phase I trials dose-limiting toxicity was neutropenia3
– Antitumor activity in mCRPC including docetaxel-resistant disease³

TROPIC:Study Design—146 Centers in 26 Countries
*Oral prednisone/prednisolone: 10 mg daily.
mitoxantrone 12 mg/m² q 3 wk+ prednisone* for 10 courses (MP)
(n=377)
cabazitaxel 25 mg/m² q 3 wk+ prednisone* for 10 courses (CBZP)
(n=378)mCRPC patients progressing during and after treatment with a
docetaxel-based regimen
(N=755)
RANDOMIZE
Premedication• Premedication in the cabazitaxel group:
antihistamine, steroid, and H₂ antagonist administered by IV infusion at least 30 minutes prior to each dose of cabazitaxel
• Antiemetic prophylaxis was administered when necessary
Stratification factors• ECOG PS (0, 1 vs 2)
• Measurable vs non-measurable disease
7
Statistical Considerations• Objectives
– Primary objective: Overall survival (OS)– Secondary objective: PFS (objective tumor progression, pain progression, PSA
progression, or death from any cause), Response Rate, Safety
• Statistical plan– 90% power to detect a HR of 0.75; ITT analysis with a 2-side type I error of 0.05
required 511 deaths for a target significance level of 0.0452 accounting for interim analyses
• Final analysis at data cut-off September 25, 2009– 755 patients randomized– 513 deaths, 10 patients (3 CBZ/7 MP) were lost to follow-up
•Updated OS analysis at data cut-off March 10, 2010– 585 deaths, 15 patients (6 CBZ, 9MP) were lost to follow-up
8
Main Eligibility Criteria
• mCRPC patients with documented disease progression*– If measureable: (RECIST) progression– If non-measurable : Documented rising PSA levels (at least
2 consecutive rises in PSA over a reference value taken at least1 week apart ) or appearance of new lesion
• Previous treatment with a docetaxel-containing regimen
• No previous treatment with mitoxantrone
• ECOG-PS: 0–2
• Normal organ function (CBC and serum chemistries)
*The protocol was amended after the first 59 patients were enrolled in order tomandate that eligible patients had to have received >225 mg/m² of docetaxel.

Conclusions
• Cabazitaxel demonstrated a statistically and clinically significantOS improvement compared with mitoxantrone in study population– 15.1 months vs 12.7 months– 28% reduced risk of death (HR=0.72, P <.0001)– OS benefit was consistent across subgroups
• Secondary endpoints of PFS, RR, and TTP also significantly improved
• Safety profile was manageable– Proactive management of side effects recommended (neutropenia/diarrhea)
Cabazitaxel is the first treatment to show a survival benefit in patients with mCRPC after failure of docetaxel-based therapy
