Slide 18

Rates of genetic mutations are known to increase over time and with multiple treatments, leading to the potential for high AR-independence The ARDENT trial is evaluating the efficacy of bavdegalutamide in a subgroup of “less pretreated” patients*, hypothesizing that this population would have fewer AR-independent alterations and be more responsive to bavdegalutamide TUMOR VOLUME GENOMIC ALTERATIONS OVER TIME TREATMENT 1 TREATMENT 2 TREATMENT 3 Figure adapted from Cancers 2018, 10, 345 Treatment-refractory progression in mCRPC Treatment-naive progression Rationale for “less-pretreated” subgroup: Successive treatments in prostate cancer may lead to increased genetic alterations over time *The “less pretreated” subgroup of ARDENT allowed 1 prior novel hormonal agent and no prior chemotherapy AR=androgen receptor; mCRPC=metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer
