TOOKAD® Soluble focal therapy: pooled analysis of three phase II studies assessing the minimally invasive ablation of localized prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the 6-month effects of the recommended drug and light dosage in focal vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) using TOOKAD(®) Soluble in patients with localized prostate cancer (LPCa).

Methods

We performed a pooled analysis of 117 men with LPCa, PSA <10 ng/mL, and Gleason score ≤ 7 (3 + 4), from 3 studies who received a 10-min intravenous infusion of a single dose of 4 mg/kg TOOKAD(®) Soluble, activated by a 753-nm light at 200 J/cm delivered in the prostate by transperineal fibres under transrectal ultrasound guidance. Primary endpoint was 6-month negative biopsies in the treated lobe(s). PSA was measured at month 1, 3, and 6. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed at day 7, month 3, and 6. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and adverse events were reported at day 7, month 1, 3, and 6.

Results

Month 6 negative biopsy rate was 68.4 % in the overall evaluable population (N = 114) and 80.6 % for patients treated by hemiablation with light density index (LDI) ≥ 1 (N = 67). Mean prostate necroses at week-1 were 76.5 and 86.3 %, respectively. In both groups, PSA levels at month 6 decreased by 2.0 ng/mL. Small changes from baseline for IPSS and IIEF-5 indicated a slight improvement in urinary function and a slight deterioration in sexual function.

Conclusions

Focal VTP treatment with TOOKAD(®) Soluble at 4 mg/kg and 200 J/cm resulted in a negative 6-month biopsy rate of 68.4 % for the whole population and 80.6 % for patients treated by hemiablation with LDI ≥ 1. The treatment was well tolerated. Two phase III studies will reach completion in early 2015.

Project description:ImportanceFocal therapy of prostate cancer must balance the oncologic outcome and functional outcome. High-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) can destroy cancer cells while selectively preserving surrounding nerves and blood vessels, but no clinical trials have been conducted, to our knowledge.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of H-FIRE in the treatment of localized prostate cancer (PCa).Design, setting, and participantsThis was a single-group, objective performance criteria, nonrandomized controlled trial. Recruitment began on May 2, 2018, and ended March 27, 2019. The follow-up duration was 6 months. This was a multicenter trial conducted at 4 tertiary teaching hospitals in China. Patients with low or intermediate risk of biochemical recurrence of localized and locally advanced PCa were eligible. Key inclusion criteria were serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level less than 20 ng/mL, clinical stage of T2c or less, and Gleason score of 7 or less. Data were analyzed from January 20 to February 20, 2021.InterventionH-FIRE ablation of all lesions identified with biopsy.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was 6-month clinically significant PCa (csPCa), which was defined as any biopsy core with Gleason score of greater than or equal to 7, or Gleason score of 6 plus maximum cancer core length of greater than 3 mm or an increase from the original cancer burden. Secondary outcomes were calculated in patients who actually received H-FIRE treatment.ResultsA total of 117 patients (median [IQR] age, 67 [62-73] years) were recruited from 4 centers, and 109 patients (27 [24.8%] low risk and 82 [75.2%] intermediate risk) actually received H-FIRE. Median (IQR) PSA level was 9.0 (6.0-12.7) ng/mL. Among the 100 patients who underwent biopsy at 6 months, the 6-month csPCa rate was 6.0% (95% CI, 2.2%-12.6%; P < .001; 1 in the treatment zone and 5 outside the treatment zone). Superiority criteria vs the historical control of 20% was achieved. PCa was detected in 14 patients, with a Gleason score of 7 in 2 patients and 6 in the remaining 12 patients. At 6 months, median (IQR) PSA level was 1.08 (0.4-3.2) ng/mL, median (IQR) International Prostate Symptom Score was 4.5 (2.0-9.5), and median (IQR) International Index of Erectile Function 5 score was 2.0 (0.5-12.5). Superiority vs the 20% historical control was also met in the subgroup analysis that only included the 57 patients with Gleason score of 7 at baseline (3.5% 6-month csPCa; 95% CI, 0.4%-12.1%).Conclusions and relevanceThe rate of 6-month csPCa with H-FIRE ablation was lower than the historical control using other energy platforms.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03838432.
