endent review committee. The hazard ratio for PFS for the
intent-to-treat population per investigator observation was 0.58
(95% CI: 0.50-0.67, p = 0.000000000002). Median time to progression
was 16.0 weeks for the satraplatin arm versus 6.0 weeks for
control. The hazard ratio for PFS for the intent-to-treat
population treated with prior Taxotere(R) (docetaxel) per
investigator observation was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.42-0.65,
p=0.000000002), with a median time to progression of 15.3 weeks for
the satraplatin arm compared to 5.6 weeks for control. These data
are consistent with the PFS outcomes as adjudicated by the blinded
independent review committee.
Safety findings in the SPARC trial were consistent with previous
clinical studies involving satraplatin. Myelosuppression (decrease
in the production of blood cells by the bone marrow) was the most
common adverse reaction associated with satraplatin therapy.
Twenty-one percent of patients in the satraplatin arm experienced
grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia; 14% had grade 3 or 4 leucopenia and
21% had grade 3 or 4 neutropenia. Gastrointestinal disorders were
the most frequent non-hematological adverse events (occurring in
57.9% of the patients receiving satraplatin). Eight percent of
patients in the satraplatin arm experienced grade 3 or 4
gastrointestinal toxicities, including nausea (1.3%), vomiting
(1.6%), diarrhea (2.1%) and constipation (2.1%). Additionally, 5%
or less of patients in the satraplatin arm experienced grade 3 or 4
fatigue (1.7%), grade 3 or 4 infections (4.0%) and
pulmonary/respiratory grade 3 or 4 toxicities (3.0%).
