Evidence suggests lower nadir testosterone levels during the first year of androgen deprivation therapy improve advanced prostate cancer clinical outcomes. We evaluated pivotal trials for subcutaneously administered leuprolide acetate (1-, 3-, 4-, and 6-month doses) to determine nadir testosterone levels. Pooled analysis showed 99%, 97%, and 91% of patients reached nadir testosterone ≤20, ≤10, and ≤5 ng/dL respectively (median ≤3 ng/dL). Across all available categories, $88% of patients reached nadir testosterone ≤5 ng/dL, and <3% experienced a microsurge. Achievement and maintenance of low nadir testosterone levels may improve progression-free survival and time to onset of castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
有证据表明,雄激素剥夺治疗第一年较低的睾酮最低点水平可改善晚期前列腺癌的临床结局。我们评估了皮下注射醋酸亮丙瑞林(1、3、4和6个月剂量)的关键试验,以确定睾酮最低点水平。汇总分析显示,分别有99%、97%和91%的患者睾酮最低点≤20、≤10和≤5 ng/dL(中位数≤3 ng/dL)。在所有可用类别中,88%的患者睾酮最低点≤5 ng/dL,且<3%的患者经历了微小波动。低睾酮最低点水平的实现和维持可能会改善无进展生存期和去势抵抗性前列腺癌的发病时间。
