Abstract
332Background: Abiraterone acetate (abiraterone) in combination with prednisone is a standard of care for patients with metastatic CRPC. Abiraterone is seldom associated with liver toxicity and systematic monitoring of ALT and AST is required. Clinical management and outcome of these patients have not been described. Methods: We retrospectively identified 22 men with mCRPC with liver tests disorder occurring during abiraterone therapy from December 2009 to September 2017 from three oncology centers in France. Results: Thirty nine liver disorder events occurred in 22 patients during abiraterone therapy. The median age was 62 (50-80) years. Only one patient had liver metastasis. No patient had a history of chronic alcoholism. Accountability of the liver tests increase to abiraterone was doubtful in two patients who were receiving antibiotics when the event occurred. The incidence of AST increase (19 events) and that of ALT (20 events) were similar. Liver toxicity was of grade 1, 2, and 3 (CTCAEv4) in 5 (22....
