Lutetium-177 Prostate-specific membrane antigen (Lu-PSMA) radioligand therapy is EMA-approved for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after androgen receptor pathway inhibition (ARPI) and taxan-based chemotherapy. However, its effect in taxan-naïve patients is under current investigation.
We relied on the FRAMCAP database to elaborate Lu-PSMA therapy outcomes of progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) in taxan-naïve mCRPC patients after previous ARPI treatment. Comparison was made against current standard of care with ARPI or docetaxel, irrespective of the previous used staging modality.
Of 269 patients, 11% received Lu-PSMA in first/second-line mCRPC vs. 57% ARPI vs. 33% docetaxel. Mostly no significant baseline differences between Lu-PSMA and ARPI patients were observed, while Lu-PSMA patients were significantly older, received less systematic treatments and ECOG1-2 proportions were higher, relative to docetaxel patients. In PFS (13.3 vs. 8.2 months, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.70, p = 0.16) and OS analyses (68.9 vs. 39.1 months, HR: 0.64, p = 0.2), Lu-PSMA was numerically more favorable than ARPI. In additional multivariable Cox regression models, Lu-PSMA was significant better regarding PFS and OS, relative to ARPI (both p < 0.05). Compared to docetaxel, also significant better PFS (13.3 vs. 8.1 months, HR: 0.46) and OS (68.9 vs. 27.3 months, HR: 0.34, both p < 0.01) was observed for Lu-PSMA treatment. The OS advantage was also observed after multivariable adjustment (p < 0.01).
This retrospective single-center study including a substantial proportion of patients with treatment preference for Lu-PSMA suggests that Lu-PSMA therapy provides significantly more favorable PFS and OS outcomes in taxan-naïve mCRPC patients after previous ARPI treatment, relative to ARPI or docetaxel treatment and may be considered as an early mCRPC treatment option.
镥-177前列腺特异性膜抗原(Lu-PSMA)放射性配体疗法已获欧洲药品管理局(EMA)批准,用于雄激素受体途径抑制(ARPI)和紫杉烷类化疗后的转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(mCRPC)。然而,其在未接受过紫杉烷治疗的患者中的疗效目前正在研究中。
我们依靠FRAMCAP数据库,阐述了未接受过紫杉烷治疗的mCRPC患者在接受过ARPI治疗后,接受Lu-PSMA治疗的无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)结果。与当前使用ARPI或多西他赛的标准治疗进行比较,无论之前使用的分期方式如何。
在269例患者中,11%在mCRPC一线/二线治疗中接受了Lu-PSMA治疗,57%接受了ARPI治疗,33%接受了多西他赛治疗。在Lu-PSMA组和ARPI组患者之间,大多未观察到显著的基线差异,而与多西他赛组患者相比,Lu-PSMA组患者年龄显著更大,接受的系统治疗更少,且ECOG 1-2比例更高。在PFS分析中(13.3个月对8.2个月,风险比[HR]:0.70,p = 0.16)和OS分析中(68.9个月对39.1个月,HR:0.64,p = 0.2),Lu-PSMA在数值上比ARPI更有利。在额外的多变量Cox回归模型中,相对于ARPI,Lu-PSMA在PFS和OS方面显著更好(均p < 0.05)。与多西他赛相比,Lu-PSMA治疗在PFS(13.3个月对8.1个月,HR:0.46)和OS(68.9个月对27.3个月,HR:0.34,均p < 0.01)方面也显著更好。在多变量调整后也观察到了OS优势(p < 0.01)。
这项回顾性单中心研究纳入了相当比例倾向于Lu-PSMA治疗的患者,表明相对于ARPI或多西他赛治疗,Lu-PSMA疗法在先前接受过ARPI治疗的未接受过紫杉烷治疗的mCRPC患者中,能提供显著更优的PFS和OS结果,可被视为mCRPC的一种早期治疗选择。
