ObjectivesTo investigate whether radiotherapy as metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) on oligo-progressive sites in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients during treatment with androgen receptor-targeted therapy (ARTT) may lead to control resistant lesions, prolonging ARTT. We analysed progression free survival, overall survival and prognostic parameters that can identify patients that best suit to this approach.Patients and MethodsRetrospective analysis of a total of 67 lesions in 42 mCRPC patients treated with ablative or palliative RT to oligoprogressive lesions during ARTT. Twenty-eight patients (67%) underwent ARTT with Abiraterone acetate and 14 patients (33%) underwent ARTT with Enzalutamide. Median time between the start of ADT and ARTT beginning was 50.14 months (range 3.37-219 months). We treated 58 lesions (87%) with 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and nine lesions (13%) with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The Kaplan Meier method was used to assess the median overall survival (OS) and the progression-free survival (PFS).ResultsMedian follow-up was 28 months (range 3-82 months). Median OS was 32.5 months (95% CI 25.77-39.16), 1 and 2-year OS were 71.6% and 64.1%, respectively. Median PFS was 19,8 months (95% CI 11.34–28.31), 1 and 2-year PFS were 67.2% and 47.4%, respectively. Median OS for patients that underwent radiotherapy before 6 months from the start of ARTT was 23.4 months (95% CI 2.04-44.89) and 45.5 months (95% CI 31.19-59.8) for patients that underwent radiotherapy after 6 months (p = 0.009).ConclusionLocal ablative radiation therapy directed to progressive metastasis is a non-invasive, well tolerated treatment with efficacy on prolonging clinical benefit of systemic therapies with ARTT. Patients who underwent RT >6 months from the start of ARTT presented a statistically better OS and PFS compared with patients who underwent radiotherapy <6 months from the start of ARTT.

PURPOSE Increases in androgen receptor ( AR) copy number (CN) can be detected in plasma DNA when patients develop metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We aim to evaluate the association between AR CN as a continuous variable and clinical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS PCR2023 was an international, multi-institution, open-label, phase II study of abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone (AAP) or abiraterone acetate plus dexamethasone that included plasma AR assessment as a predefined exploratory secondary end point. Plasma AR CN data (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01867710 ) from this study (n = 133) were pooled with data from the following three other cohorts: cohort A, which was treated with either AAP or enzalutamide (n = 73); the PREMIERE trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02288936 ) of biomarkers for enzalutamide (n = 94); and a phase II trial from British Columbia (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02125357 ) that randomly assigned men to either AAP or enzalutamide (n = 201). The primary outcome measures for the biomarker analysis were overall survival and progression-free survival. RESULTS Using multivariable fractional polynomials analysis using Cox regression models, a nonlinear relationship between plasma AR CN and outcome was identified for overall survival, where initially for small incremental gains in CN there was a large added hazard ratio that plateaued at higher CN. The CN cut point associated with the highest local hazard ratio was 1.92. A similar nonlinear association was observed with progression-free survival. In an exploratory analysis of PCR2023, the time from start of long-term androgen-deprivation therapy to start of AAP or abiraterone acetate plus dexamethasone was significantly shorter in patients with plasma AR CN of 1.92 or greater than patients with plasma AR CN of less than 1.92 (43 v 130 weeks, respectively; P = .005). This was confirmed in cohort A ( P = .003), the PREMIERE cohort ( P = .03), and the British Colombia cohort ( P = .003). CONCLUSION Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer can be dichotomized by a plasma AR CN cut point of 1.92. Plasma AR CN value of 1.92 or greater identifies aggressive disease that is poorly responsive to AR targeting and is associated with a prior short response to primary androgen-deprivation therapy.

303 Background: Abiraterone acetate (a prodrug of abiraterone, which is a selective inhibitor of androgen biosynthesis) combined with prednisone/prednisolone (AA+P) and enzalutamide (ENZ) (an androgen-receptor–signalling inhibitor) have proven survival benefit in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in chemo naïve and prior chemo patients. There have been no studies directly comparing the effectiveness of ENZ to AA+P in mCRPC patients. Methods: A retrospective, survival analysis study of 143 real world mCRPC patients (90 in AA+P and 53 in ENZ group) was conducted. Patients who started their treatment between 1st February 2012 and 31st May 2016 were included. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS). Data was analysed using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for covariates: prior radical or palliative treatment; Gleason score; baseline PSA; age; and chemo naïve or not. Results: After median follow up of 15 months (IQR 7 to 23) 112 events of biochemical progression were observed (71 in AA+P and 41 in ENZ). 41%in AA+P group and 30% patients in ENZ group received prior chemo. The chance of biochemical progression was significantly lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (Hazard Ratio 0.54, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.82, p=0.004. There was a trend implying the chance of rPFS could be higher among ENZ patients than AA+P patients (HR 1.24, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.02, p=0.4). OS is lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.41, p=0.7). 38% of ENZ patients reported fatigue compared to 16% of AA+P patients while hypertension was reported slightly more in AA+P patients than in ENZ patients. Conclusions: This study showed a statistically significant difference in biochemical progression-free survival, favouring ENZ, but no significant difference in radiographic progression-free survival or overall survival.

Recent Advances

Until recently, continuing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and closely monitoring patients until evolution towards metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) were recommended in men with non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC). Because delaying the development of metastases and symptoms in these patients is a major issue, several trials have investigated next-generation androgen receptor (AR) axis inhibitors such as apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide in this setting. This review summarizes the recent advances in the management of nmCRPC, highlighting the favourable impact of next-generation AR inhibitors on metastases-free survival, overall survival and other clinically meaningful endpoints.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to reveal the prognostic values of prior local therapy in first-line therapy using androgen receptor-axis targeting agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Methods The study included 303 patients treated with first-line therapy for non-metastatic and metastatic CRPC. The association between prior local therapy and therapeutic outcome including progression-free survival and overall survival was investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses as well as propensity score-matched analysis. Results In univariate analysis, local prior therapy was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.56, 95% confidence interval, 0.40–0.79; P = 0.0009). Overall survival, but not progression-free survival, was better among patients with prior local therapy compared with patients without prior local therapy even after multivariate analysis and propensity score-matched analysis. Conclusions This study robustly indicated that prior local treatment was prognostic for overall survival among patients with CRPC. This finding is useful to predict patient prognosis in CRPC.

Prognostic And Predictive Factors

Aim: To evaluate prostate-specific antigen response (PSAr) defined as a ≥50% decrease in PSA concentration from the pretreatment value, as a prognostic factor in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone acetate (AA). Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with mCRPC treated with AA. Results: 124 patients were identified. Median overall survival and progression-free survival for patients achieving PSAr versus patients without PSAr were 29.3 versus 9.7 months and 17.0 versus 5.2 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis confirmed that PSAr correlated with better overall survival (hazard ratio: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.10−0.38; p < 0.001) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.14−0.41; p < 0.001). Conclusion: PSAr can be utilized as prognostic and predictive factors in mCRPC patients treated with AA.

Treatment Sequences

No evidence was found on the treatment sequences of androgen receptor–targeted agents in patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer. Evidence from retrospective studies, including those within a systematic review, suggests that sequential treatment of abiraterone followed by enzalutamide is more favourable than enzalutamide followed by abiraterone in improving clinical outcomes such as response rate and progression-free survival, but not overall survival, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Evidence from a retrospective study suggests that docetaxel-containing treatment sequences with androgen receptor–targeted agents may improve progression-free survival compared to sequential therapy with androgen receptor–targeted agents alone in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Evidence from a retrospective study did not reveal differences in clinical outcomes of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with sequential androgen receptor–targeted agents with or without interposed chemotherapy or radium-223. These findings were in line with those observed in a 2019 CADTH report.1 However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to low-quality evidence. No comparative cost-effectiveness studies were identified.

150 Background: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of docetaxel and androgen receptor axis-targeted (ARAT) agents in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P). Methods: We retrospectively identified 311 CRPC patients from June 2002 to February 2016. All patients were initially administered with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), followed by docetaxel or ARAT (abiraterone or enzalutamide) after progressing to CRPC. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival (OS) from the time of CRPC diagnosis and progression-free survival (PFS) from the time of administration of docetaxel or ARAT. Results: IDC-P was found in 180 of 311 patients. The median OS was 33.4 and 64.0 months with and without IDC-P, respectively (hazards ratio [HR], 2.14; P < 0.001). For the first treatment for CRPC, docetaxel was administered to 71 and 50 patients with and without IDC-P, respectively, with a median OS of 30.4 and 64.0 months, respectively (HR, 2.62; P < 0.001). ARAT was administered to 109 and 81 patients with and without IDC-P, respectively, with a median OS of 45.0 and 69.9 months, respectively (HR, 1.84; P = 0.017). Regarding patients with IDC-P, the OS in patients who were administered with ARAT was longer than that in those administered with docetaxel (HR, 0.58; P = 0.008). The median PFS was 7.5 and 12.1 months with and without IDC-P, respectively (HR, 1.36; P = 0.03). Multivariate analysis showed that the prognostic factors for OS were the presence of IDC-P (HR, 1.91; P < 0.001), and administration of ARAT (HR, 0.66; P = 0.02). Conclusions: The presence of IDC-P is an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS in CRPC patients. ARAT may prolong OS in CRPC patients with IDC-P.
