AKEEGA™* provides an improved benefit for patients with 1L BRCA+ mCRPC
MAGNITUDE Study Design2
53% (225/425) of patients enrolled in the HRR+ cohort had BRCA gene mutations.1
Study start: February 2019; clinical data cutoff for Interim Analysis 2: June 17, 2022.
aPatients were prospectively tested by plasma, tissue, and/or saliva/whole blood. Patients negative by plasma only were required to test by tissue to confirm HRR BM status. Tissue and plasma assays used included FoundationOne tissue test (FoundationOne®CDx), Resolution Bioscience liquid test (ctDNA), AmoyDx® blood and tissue assays, Invitae germline testing (blood/ saliva), or local lab BM test results demonstrating a pathogenic germline or somatic alteration outlined in the study protocol.
bPatients in these cohorts received niraparib 200 mg once daily with AA 1,000 mg once daily plus prednisone 5 mg twice daily.
Patients enrolled in the MAGNITUDE trial were prospectively tested for HRR status1,3
Patients were tested using FoundationOne®CDx tissue assay or other clinical trial assays
Enrollment in non-HRR-altered cohort was stopped when predetermined criteria of the futility analysis were met
Over half of patients enrolled in MAGNITUDE Cohort 1 had BRCA1/2 mutations1,4

Primary Analysis‡: Primary Endpoint
AKEEGA™* significantly reduced risk of disease progression or death in BRCA+ mCRPC patients1
47%
reduced risk of disease progression or death
HR, 0.53 (95% CI, 0.36-0.79); P=0.0014
The median in the AKEEGA™* arm was 30.4 months (95% CI, 27.6-NE) and 28.6 months (95% CI, 23.8-33.0) in the placebo + AAP arm, with an OS hazard ratio of 0.79 (95% CI, 0.55-1.12)
Statistical significance has not been established for these endpoints. They should be viewed in the context of patient management, overall physical condition, and clinical course of the patient.
AKEEGA™ has a manageable safety profile1
Use biomarker testing to determine your patient’s mutation status1
*AKEEGA™ is indicated with 10 mg prednisone daily.1
†Patients were allowed up to 4 months of prior AAP in the mCRPC setting.1
‡The median duration of follow-up in the BRCA1/2 subgroup at the primary analysis was 16.7 months.5
§The median follow-up in the BRCA1/2 subgroup at interim analysis 2 was 24.8 months (range 0.5-36.8 months).4
‖The OS HR and median OS were determined in an exploratory analysis.1
1L = first-line; AAP = abiraterone acetate (AA) + prednisone (P); ARi = androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor; BICR = blinded independent central radiology; BM = biomarker; BPI-SF = Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form; BRCA+ = BRCA gene-mutated; CI = confidence interval; ctDNA = circulating tumor DNA; ECOG PS = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status; FACT-P = Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-Prostate; HR = hazard ratio; HRR = homologous recombination repair; KM = Kaplan-Meier; mCRPC = metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; mCSPC = metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer; NE = not estimable; nmCRPC = non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; OS = overall survival; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; rPFS = radiographic progression-free survival.
