Baseline CTC biomarkers may be prognosticators for cabazitaxel-treated mCRPC patients. Cabazitaxel at lower (20 mg/sqm) dose was associated with poorer outcomes in AR-V7 positive patients compared to AR-V7 negative patients in a post hoc subgroup analysis....Among these patients, 8 (18%) had AR-V7 CTC expression....In patients treated with cabazitaxel 20 mg/sqm, median OS was shorter in AR-V7 positive than negative patients (6.6 versus 14 months, HR=3.46, 1.47–8.17], p=0.004)...the correlation between AR-V7 expressions and worse outcome was significantly associated with the initial reduced dose of cabazitaxel for OS (p = 0.056).
