Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the effective treating prostate cancer but is often accompanied by cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL), which impairs the patient's quality of life. In patients with nonmetastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (M0CSPC) who already have osteoporosis before starting ADT, appropriate bone-modifying agent intervention must be performed in parallel, as the patient has a high risk of future fracture. However, little is known about therapeutic interventions aimed at preventing the progression of CTIBL and new fractures. The present study explored the effect of once-yearly zoledronic acid 5 mg (ZOL 5 mg) on bone mineral density (BMD) and new vertebral fractures (VFs) in M0CSPC patients with coexisting osteoporosis before starting ADT.
We conducted a retrospective, multi-institutional, cohort study involving 42 M0CSPC patients with osteoporosis who had undergone ADT with/without a single intravenous infusion of ZOL 5 mg at the start of ADT (ZOL 5 mg group, n = 26; control group, n = 16). The association of the ZOL 5 mg with changes in the BMD from baseline to 12 months and the incidence of VFs were evaluated.
Prevalent VFs were found in 47.6% of all patients at baseline. ZOL 5 mg significantly increased the lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD) (mean rate of change: + 4.02%, p < 0.0001) and significantly decreased the TRACP-5b (mean rate of change: - 52.1%, p < 0.0001) at 12 months after starting ADT. Incident VFs were identified in 19.0% of all patients at 12 months after starting ADT. After adjusting for the age, BMI, and changes in the LS-BMD, ZOL 5 mg was not significantly associated with incident VFs (odds ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.04-11.3, p = 0.7774).
ZOL 5 mg significantly increased the LS-BMD 12 months after starting ADT, and our short-term results showed that ZOL 5 mg was not significantly correlated with the suppression of incident vertebral fractures.
雄激素剥夺疗法(ADT)是治疗前列腺癌的有效方法,但常伴随着癌症治疗引起的骨丢失(CTIBL),这会降低患者的生活质量。对于已经患有骨质疏松症且正在接受 ADT 的非转移性去势敏感型前列腺癌(M0CSPC)患者,必须同时进行适当的骨修饰剂干预,因为患者未来发生骨折的风险很高。然而,目前对于预防 CTIBL 进展和新发骨折的治疗干预措施知之甚少。本研究探讨了在开始 ADT 之前患有骨质疏松症的 M0CSPC 患者中,每年一次给予唑来膦酸 5mg(ZOL 5mg)对骨密度(BMD)和新发椎体骨折(VF)的影响。
我们进行了一项回顾性、多机构队列研究,共纳入 42 例在开始 ADT 时接受 ADT 联合/不联合单次静脉注射唑来膦酸 5mg(ZOL 5mg 组,n=26;对照组,n=16)的 M0CSPC 合并骨质疏松症患者。评估了 ZOL 5mg 对基线至 12 个月时 BMD 变化的影响,以及 VF 的发生率。
所有患者基线时均存在现患性 VF,占 47.6%。ZOL 5mg 可显著增加腰椎骨密度(LS-BMD)(平均变化率:+4.02%,p<0.0001),并显著降低 TRACP-5b(平均变化率:-52.1%,p<0.0001)在开始 ADT 后 12 个月时。在开始 ADT 后 12 个月时,所有患者中有 19.0%发生新发 VF。在调整年龄、BMI 和 LS-BMD 变化后,ZOL 5mg 与新发 VF 无显著相关性(比值比 0.66,95%置信区间 0.04-11.3,p=0.7774)。
ZOL 5mg 可显著增加开始 ADT 后 12 个月时的 LS-BMD,我们的短期结果显示,ZOL 5mg 与抑制新发椎体骨折无显著相关性。
