Radium-223 (Ra-223) dichloride therapy increases overall survival and delays time to the first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and bone metastases. Bone-modifying agents (BMA) reduce SSE in patients with bone metastasis, but there is little information on their use with Ra-223. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BMA on SSE in patients with bone metastatic CRPC treated with Ra-223 in real-world practice.
We included 73 patients treated with Ra-223 from 10 institutions in Japan. Time to the first SSE was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between groups using the log-rank test. We used univariate analysis to ascertain the association between variables and SSE.
During a median follow-up of 12.7 months (interquartile range, 7-21.7), 12 (16.4%) patients presented SSE. Age and BMA use were different between men with and without SSE. The 1-year SSE-free survival rate from Ra-223 treatment initiation was 82.4% (95% CI, 69.4%-90.2%). BMA use was associated with favorable SSE-free survival (hazard risk, 0.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.061-0.85; p = 0.027). Two (4.7%) and seven (23.3%) patients presented symptomatic pathological bone fracture in groups with and without BMA use, respectively (p = 0.017).
This study stresses the importance of BMA use in patients with CRPC and bone metastases in Ra-223 treatment.
二氯化镭-223(Ra-223)疗法可提高去势抵抗性前列腺癌(CRPC)伴骨转移患者的总生存率,并延迟首次出现有症状骨相关事件(SSE)的时间。骨改良剂(BMA)可减少骨转移患者的SSE,但关于其与Ra-223联合使用的信息较少。本研究旨在调查在实际临床中,BMA对接受Ra-223治疗的骨转移性CRPC患者SSE的影响。
我们纳入了来自日本10家机构的73例接受Ra-223治疗的患者。采用Kaplan-Meier法估计首次SSE的时间,并使用对数秩检验在组间进行比较。我们采用单因素分析确定变量与SSE之间的关联。
在中位随访12.7个月(四分位间距,7-21.7个月)期间,12例(16.4%)患者出现SSE。有SSE和无SSE的男性患者在年龄和BMA使用方面存在差异。从开始使用Ra-223治疗起,1年无SSE生存率为82.4%(95%CI,69.4%-90.2%)。使用BMA与较好的无SSE生存相关(风险比,0.23;95%置信区间,0.061-0.85;p=0.027)。使用BMA组和未使用BMA组分别有2例(4.7%)和7例(23.3%)患者出现有症状的病理性骨折(p=0.017)。
本研究强调了在Ra-223治疗的CRPC伴骨转移患者中使用BMA的重要性。
