Declines in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at 12wk are used to evaluate treatment response in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PSA fall by ≥30% at 4wk (PSA4w30) has been reported to be associated with better outcome in a single-centre cohort study.
To evaluate clinical relevance of early PSA decline in mCRPC patients treated with next-generation hormonal treatments (NGHTs) such as abiraterone and enzalutamide.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a retrospective multicentre analysis. Eligible patients received NGHT for mCRPC between 6 January 2006 and 31 December 2017 in 13 cancer centres worldwide, and had PSA levels assessed at baseline and at 4 and/or 12wk after treatment. PSA response was defined as a ≥30% decline (progression as a ≥25% increase) from baseline.
Association with overall survival (OS) was analysed using landmark multivariable Cox regression adjusting for previous chemotherapy, including cancer centre as a shared frailty term.
We identified 1358 mCRPC patients treated with first-line NGHT (1133 had PSA available at 4wk, and 948 at both 4 and 12wk). Overall, 583 (52%) had a PSA4w30; it was associated with longer OS (median: 23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 21-25) compared with no change (median: 17; 95% CI: 15-18) and progression (median: 13; 95% CI: 10-15). A PSA12w30 was associated with lower mortality (median OS 22 vs 14; hazard ratio=0.57; 95% CI=0.48-0.67; p<0.001). PSA4w30 strongly correlated with PSA12w30 (ρ=0.91; 95% CI=0.90-0.92; p<0.001). In total, 432/494 (87%) with a PSA4w30 achieved a PSA12w30. Overall, 11/152 (7%) patients progressing at 4wk had a PSA12w30 (1% of the overall population).
PSA changes in the first 4wk of NGHT therapies are strongly associated with clinical outcome from mCRPC and can help guide early treatment switch decisions.
Prostate-specific antigen changes at 4wk after abiraterone/enzalutamide treatment are important to determine patients' outcome and should be taken into consideration in clinical practice.
在转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(mCRPC)中,12 周时前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平的下降用于评估治疗反应。据报道,4 周时 PSA 下降≥30%(PSA4w30)与单中心队列研究中的更好结局相关。
评估下一代激素治疗(NGHT)如阿比特龙和恩扎卢胺治疗 mCRPC 患者早期 PSA 下降的临床相关性。
设计、地点和参与者:这是一项回顾性多中心分析。符合条件的患者在全球 13 个癌症中心于 2006 年 1 月 6 日至 2017 年 12 月 31 日期间接受 NGHT 治疗 mCRPC,并且在基线以及治疗后 4 和/或 12 周时评估了 PSA 水平。PSA 反应定义为与基线相比下降≥30%(进展定义为≥25%增加)。
使用 landmark 多变量 Cox 回归分析与总生存(OS)的相关性,调整了先前的化疗,包括将癌症中心作为共同脆弱性项。
我们确定了 1358 名接受一线 NGHT 治疗的 mCRPC 患者(1133 名患者在 4 周时具有 PSA 数据,948 名患者在 4 和 12 周时均具有 PSA 数据)。总体而言,583 名患者(52%)出现 PSA4w30;与无变化(中位:23;95%置信区间 [CI]:21-25)和进展(中位:13;95%CI:10-15)相比,它与更长的 OS 相关。PSA12w30 与较低的死亡率相关(中位 OS 22 与 14;风险比=0.57;95%CI=0.48-0.67;p<0.001)。PSA4w30 与 PSA12w30 强烈相关(ρ=0.91;95%CI=0.90-0.92;p<0.001)。总共,432/494(87%)出现 PSA4w30 的患者实现了 PSA12w30。总体而言,4 周时进展的 152 名患者中有 11 名(总体人群的 7%)出现 PSA12w30。
NGHT 治疗后前 4 周的 PSA 变化与 mCRPC 的临床结局密切相关,有助于指导早期治疗转换决策。
阿比特龙/恩扎卢胺治疗后 4 周时的前列腺特异性抗原变化对于确定患者的预后很重要,应在临床实践中加以考虑。
