Prolonged PSA stabilization and overall survival following sipuleucel-T monotherapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy that is FDA approved for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The IMPACT registry trial demonstrated a 4.1 month survival benefit, but not a consistent PSA response or improvement in progression-free survival. Based upon several factors, including this lack of objective treatment response, sipuleucel-T has been under-utilized in this patient population, despite current NCCN recommendations. METHODS:In order to explore if delayed treatment response occurs in a subset of patients, we performed a single institutional retrospective analysis of mCRPC patients treated with sipuleucel-T and ongoing ADT alone. Within that group, we then identified a subset of sipuleucel-T-treated men with long-term disease control and no additional interventions. To independently confirm this finding, we evaluated a total of 336 patients from 4 large urology group practices treated with sipuleucel-T between 2010 and 2014 and identified 44 patients who met the same criteria and demonstrated evidence of PSA stabilization post sipuleucel-T treatment. RESULTS:For this subgroup of patients, 79% (95% CI: 64.5%, 88.1%) survived 36 months with a median time to subsequent therapy of 17.8 months (95% CI 10.3, 25.3). CONCLUSIONS:Although patient selection could account for some or all of these results, these data support the utilization of sipuleucel-T alone in select mCRPC patients that is associated with a delay in disease progression and a good overall prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundAbiraterone acetate (abiraterone) prolongs overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study's objective was to retrospectively identify factors associated with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response to abiraterone and validate them in an independent cohort. We hypothesized that the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thought to be an indirect manifestation of tumor-promoting inflammation, may be associated with response to abiraterone.Patients and methodsAll patients receiving abiraterone at the Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre up to March 2013 were reviewed. The primary end point was confirmed PSA response defined as PSA decline ≥50% below baseline maintained for ≥3 weeks. Potential factors associated with PSA response were analyzed using univariate and multivariable analyses to generate a score, which was then evaluated in an independent cohort from Royal Marsden (RM) NHS foundation.ResultsA confirmed PSA response was observed in 44 out of 108 assessable patients (41%, 95% confidence interval 31%-50%). In univariate analysis, lower pre-abiraterone baseline levels of lactate dehydrogenase, an NLR ≤ 5 and restricted metastatic spread to either bone or lymph nodes were each associated with PSA response. In multivariable analysis, only low NLR and restricted metastatic spread remained statistically significant. A score derived as the sum of these two categorical variables was associated with response to abiraterone (P = 0.007). Logistic regression analysis on an independent validation cohort of 245 patients verified that this score was associated with response to abiraterone (P = 0.003). It was also associated with OS in an exploratory analysis.ConclusionsA composite score of baseline NLR and extent of metastatic spread is associated with PSA response to abiraterone and OS. Our data may help understand the role of systemic inflammation in mCRPC and warrant further research.
