Rezvilutamide (Rez) versus bicalutamide (Bic) plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in high-volume, metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC): 5-year outcomes of the phase 3 CHART trial.

Abstract

5090 Background: In the CHART trial, Rez plus ADT significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with Bic plus ADT in patients (pts) with high-volume mHSPC (Gu et al., Lancet Oncol 2022). Here, we present updated outcomes ~5 years after the enrollment of the last pt. Methods: Pts with high-volume mHSPC and without previous chemotherapy or other localized treatment for PC were eligible to be enrolled. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive ADT plus either Rez (240 mg) or Bic (50 mg) orally once daily. Final analysis for OS was planned after 325 deaths were reported. Results: Between Jun 28, 2018, and Aug 6, 2020, 654 pts were randomized to receive Rez plus ADT (n=326) or Bic plus ADT (n=328). As of data cutoff (Jun 6, 2025), with a median follow-up of 72.8 months (IQR 69.1-77.4), there were 141 (43.3%) deaths in Rez plus ADT group and 194 (59.1%) in Bic plus ADT group. OS was improved with Rez plus ADT versus Bic plus ADT (median 78.8 months [95% CI 68.3-not reached (NR)] vs 44.8 months [95% CI 37.1-57.4]; HR 0.59 [95% CI 0.47-0.73]; 2-sided p<0.0001). Risk of progression or death in Rez plus ADT group was reduced by 62% compared with Bic plus ADT group (HR 0.38 [95% CI 0.30-0.48]). Other efficacy outcomes also favored Rez plus ADT (Table). Rez plus ADT improved patient-reported quality of life. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusions: Rez plus ADT continued to show meaningful survival benefits with manageable toxicities after long-term follow-up, further supporting Rez plus ADT as frontline treatment for pts with high-volume mHSPC.
