Phase II trial of isoflavone in prostate-specific antigen recurrent prostate cancer after previous local therapy.

ABSTRACT: Data exist that demonstrate isoflavones' potent antiproliferative effects on prostate cancer cells. We evaluated the efficacy of isoflavone in patients with PSA recurrent prostate cancer after prior therapy. We postulated that isoflavone therapy would slow the rate of rise of serum PSA.Twenty patients with rising PSA after prior local therapy were enrolled in this open-labeled, Phase II, nonrandomized trial (Trial registration # NCT00596895). Patients were treated with soy milk containing 47 mg of isoflavonoid per 8 oz serving three times per day for 12 months. Serum PSA, testosterone, lipids, isoflavone levels (genistein, daidzein, and equol), and quality of life (QOL) were measured at various time points from 0 to 12 months. PSA outcome was evaluated.Within the mixed regression model, it was estimated that PSA had increased 56% per year before study entry and only increased 20% per year for the 12-month study period (p = 0.05). Specifically, the slope of PSA after study entry was significantly lower than that before study entry in 6 patients and the slope of PSA after study entry was significantly higher than before study entry in 2 patients. For the remaining 12 patients, the change in slope was statistically insignificant. Nearly two thirds of the patients were noted to have significant levels of free equol in their serum while on therapy.Dietary intervention with isoflavone supplementation may have biologic activity in men with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer as shown by a decline in the slope of PSA. This study may lend support to the literature that nutritional supplements have biologic activity in prostate cancer and therefore, further studies with these agents in randomized clinical trials should be encouraged.

Project description:Background Isolated local failure (ILF) can occur in patients who initially receive definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Salvage therapy for ILF includes high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can accurately detect ILF and can exclude extraprostatic disease. Lutetium-177 PSMA Radioligand Therapy (RLT) is a novel treatment for prostate cancer that can target prostate cancer accurately, while sparing radiation dose to normal tissues. Methods ROADSTER is a phase I/II randomized, single-institution study. Patients with an ILF of prostate cancer after definitive initial radiation therapy are eligible. The ILF will be confirmed with biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PSMA PET. Patients will be randomized between HDR brachytherapy in two fractions (a standard of care salvage treatment at our institution) (cohort 1) or one treatment of intravenous Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, followed by one fraction of HDR brachytherapy (cohort 2). The primary endpoints for the phase I portion of the study (n = 12) will be feasibility, defined as 10 or more patients completing the study protocol within 24 months of study activation; and safety, defined as zero or one patients in cohort 2 experiencing grade 3 or higher toxicity in the first 6 months post-treatment. If feasibility and safety are achieved, the study will expand to a phase II study (n = 30 total) where preliminary efficacy data will be evaluated. Secondary endpoints include changes in prostate specific antigen levels, acute toxicity, changes in quality of life, and changes in translational biomarkers. Translational endpoints will include interrogation of blood, urine, and tissue for markers of DNA damage and immune activation with each treatment. Discussion ROADSTER explores a novel salvage therapy for ILF after primary radiotherapy with combined Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT and HDR brachytherapy. The randomized phase I/II design will provide a contemporaneous patient population treated with HDR alone to facilitate assessment of feasibility, tolerability, and biologic effects of this novel therapy. Trial registration NCT05230251 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Project description:ContextMen with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer face a clinical conundrum. Depending on the detected distribution of disease, treatment goals may range from cure with focal therapy to palliative with systemic therapy to expectant observation. Retrospective studies of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based imaging demonstrate higher disease detection rates than conventional imaging.ObjectiveThis review focuses on available prospective evidence for diagnostic use of PSMA-based imaging to accurately restage recurrent prostate cancer and explores the potential clinical impact, near future uses, and challenges for PSMA-based imaging in this setting.Evidence acquisitionPubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for prospective studies with primary, secondary, or exploratory endpoints evaluating PSMA-based imaging for patients with recurrent prostate cancer published in English in the past 10 yrs.Evidence synthesisWe reviewed 48 prospective studies evaluating the role of PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) in recurrent prostate cancer. These studies establish the diagnostic accuracy and safety of PSMA PET using the 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-DCFPyL radiotracers even at lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (0.5 ≤ PSA < 1.0 ng/m: disease detection rate 51-78%). The use of PSMA PET has been shown to result in changes in management in up to two-thirds of patients.ConclusionsThere is now higher-level regulatory-quality prospective evidence for PSMA-based imaging for the detection of recurrent prostate cancer. There is prospective evidence of superiority over cross-sectional imaging and bone scintigraphy, as well as for the alterations in disease management as a result of PSMA-based imaging.Patient summaryWhen the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is rising after primary therapy, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) is excellent at detecting and localizing prostate cancer, even at low PSA levels. Those who benefit best from treatment modifications based on PSMA PET findings are yet to be defined.
