Efficacy in nmCRPC
Primary endpoint:
In patients with nmCRPC:
ERLEADA® + ADT improved median metastasis-free survival (MFS) by 2 YEARS vs placebo + ADT1

HR=0.28; 95% CI: 0.23, 0.35; P<0.0001
Consistent results in metastasis-free survival (MFS) were observed across patient subgroups, including1:
- PSA doubling time (≤6 months or >6 months)
- Use of a prior bone-sparing agent (yes or no)
- Locoregional disease (N0 or N1)
*Metastasis-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the time of first evidence of blinded independent central review-confirmed distant metastasis, defined as new bone or soft tissue lesions or enlarged lymph nodes above the iliac bifurcation, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.1
At the time of the analysis, 60.9% of patients were still on ERLEADA® + ADT vs 29.9% of patients still on placebo + ADT2
Secondary endpoints favored the ERLEADA® + ADT arm1
†Time to metastasis was defined as the time from randomization to the time of the scan that showed first evidence of blinded independent central review-confirmed radiographically detectable bone or soft tissue distant metastasis.2,3
‡Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of blinded independent central review-confirmed radiographic progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.2,3
Secondary endpoint:
The metastasis-free survival (MFS) outcome was supported by a statistically significant improvement in time to symptomatic progression1
Time to symptomatic progression was defined as the time from randomization to documentation of any of the following (whichever occurred earlier)2,3
- Development of a skeletal-related event: pathologic fracture, spinal cord compression, or need for surgical intervention or radiation therapy to the bone
- Pain progression or worsening of disease-related symptoms requiring initiation of a new systemic anticancer therapy
- Development of clinically significant symptoms due to locoregional tumor progression requiring surgical intervention or radiation therapy
Examples of symptomatic progression evaluated in the SPARTAN study:

Spinal cord compression

The need for surgical intervention

The need for radiation therapy
SPARTAN Final Analysis
Final analysis data from the SPARTAN study are not currently reported in the Prescribing Information for ERLEADA®.
SPARTAN has the longest follow-up period of the registration trials that supported indications for the treatment of nmCRPC5-7

First patient randomized
SPARTAN Trial Begins
May 19, 2017
Clinical cutoff date
Primary Analysis
Median follow-up time: 20.3 months5
19% of patients in the placebo + ADT arm crossed over to receive ERLEADA® + ADT when the study was unblinded at the primary analysis.5
Overall survival data were immature at this time.1
February 1, 2020
Clinical cutoff date
Final Analysis
Median follow-up time: 52.0 months5
At the time of the final analysis, 30% of patients originally randomized to the ERLEADA® + ADT arm were continuing to receive treatment with ERLEADA® + ADT.5
Prespecified analysis of overall survival was conducted.5
Patients receiving ERLEADA® + ADT stayed on therapy approximately 3 times longer than those receiving placebo + ADT5
Median Duration of Exposure at the Final Analysis5

Many patients who received ERLEADA® lived more than 1 year longer:
ERLEADA® + ADT improved median overall survival by 14 MONTHS vs placebo + ADT5
Secondary endpoint:
Overall Survival5

Median follow-up time was 52.0 months.5
Median overall survival for patients who took ERLEADA® + ADT was more than 6 years compared with 5 years for patients who took placebo + ADT5
ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; nmCRPC = non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; SPARTAN = Selective Prostate Androgen Receptor Targeting with ARN-509.
