Comparison of Abiraterone and Combined Androgen Blockade Therapy for High-Risk Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to compare the effects of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with those of combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy in patients with high-risk metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This study retrospectively identified 163 patients with high-risk mHSPC at Kindai University and affiliated hospitals between January 2014 and December 2020. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to summarize progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to identify the prognostic factors in the overall cohort. Propensity score matching was used to adjust the clinical characteristics, and log-rank test was applied to these propensity score-matched cohorts. Seventy-four patients who received AAP with ADT and 89 patients who received CAB were included in this study. The median follow-up duration was 27 months (range, 2-89 months). The median PFS and OS were not reached by the AAP+ADT group and 15 and 79 months, respectively, in the CAB group. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score and AAP+ADT were significant prognostic factors for PFS, whereas ECOG PS score, visceral metastasis, and AAP+ADT were significant prognostic factors for OS. The 2-year PFS was 76.1% in the AAP+ADT group and 38.6% in the CAB group (P < 0.0001), and the 2-year OS was 90.2% in the AAP+ADT group and 84.8% in the CAB group (P = 0.015). In conclusion, AAP+ADT had better PFS and OS than CAB in patients with high-risk mHSPC.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a need to synthesise the results of numerous randomised controlled trials evaluating the addition of therapies to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This systematic review aims to assess the effects of adding abiraterone acetate plus prednisone/prednisolone (AAP) to ADT.MethodsUsing our framework for adaptive meta-analysis (FAME), we started the review process before trials had been reported and worked collaboratively with trial investigators to anticipate when eligible trial results would emerge. Thus, we could determine the earliest opportunity for reliable meta-analysis and take account of unavailable trials in interpreting results. We searched multiple sources for trials comparing AAP plus ADT versus ADT in men with mHSPC. We obtained results for the primary outcome of overall survival (OS), secondary outcomes of clinical/radiological progression-free survival (PFS) and grade III-IV and grade V toxicity direct from trial teams. Hazard ratios (HRs) for the effects of AAP plus ADT on OS and PFS, Peto Odds Ratios (Peto ORs) for the effects on acute toxicity and interaction HRs for the effects on OS by patient subgroups were combined across trials using fixed-effect meta-analysis.FindingsWe identified three eligible trials, one of which was still recruiting (PEACE-1 (NCT01957436)). Results from the two remaining trials (LATITUDE (NCT01715285) and STAMPEDE (NCT00268476)), representing 82% of all men randomised to AAP plus ADT versus ADT (without docetaxel in either arm), showed a highly significant 38% reduction in the risk of death with AAP plus ADT (HR = 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.53-0.71, p = 0.55 × 10-10), that translates into a 14% absolute improvement in 3-year OS. Despite differences in PFS definitions across trials, we also observed a consistent and highly significant 55% reduction in the risk of clinical/radiological PFS (HR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.40-0.51, p = 0.66 × 10-36) with the addition of AAP, that translates to a 28% absolute improvement at 3 years. There was no evidence of a difference in the OS benefit by Gleason sum score, performance status or nodal status, but the size of the benefit may vary by age. There were more grade III-IV acute cardiac, vascular and hepatic toxicities with AAP plus ADT but no excess of other toxicities or death.InterpretationAdding AAP to ADT is a clinically effective treatment option for men with mHSPC, offering an alternative to docetaxel for men who are starting treatment for the first time. Future research will need to address which of these two agents or whether their combination is most effective, and for whom.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral studies showed that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus local treatment of prostate could improve metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) patients' survival. To date there are few studies analyzed the value of prostate cryoablation in mPCa. The objective of our analysis is to evaluate the oncological results and clinical value of prostate cryoablation combined with ADT compared with ADT alone in newly diagnosed mPCa patients.MethodsNewly diagnosed mPCa patients undergoing cryoablation plus ADT (group A) between January 2011 and November 2018 were identified. Patients receiving ADT alone (group B) were selected from the same institutional prostate cancer database by propensity score matching based on clinical characteristics. Oncological results and clinical value in symptom control and primary lesion treatment were compared.ResultsFifty-four patients were included in each group. Prostate cryoablation was well tolerated. The median follow-up time was 40 (27-53) and 39 (31-54) months in group A and group B, respectively. Patients in group A had a lower median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir (0.025 ng/mL vs. 0.230 ng/mL, p = 0.001), longer median failure-free survival (FFS) (39 months vs. 21 months, p = 0.005), and median metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)-free survival (39 months vs. 21 months, p = 0.007). No difference in cancer-specific survival and overall survival was found between the two groups. Multivariate Cox analysis showed combination therapy reduced the risk of FFS by 45.8% (HR = 0.542 [95% CI 0.329-0.893]; p = 0.016). Patients in group A had better clinical relief of urinary symptoms (79.1 vs. 59.1%, p = 0.044) and required less treatment of primary lesions for symptomatic relief (13.0 vs. 31.5%, p = 0.021).ConclusionsProstate cryoablation plus ADT decreases PSA nadir, prolongs FFS and mCRPC-free survival, relieves urinary symptoms and reduces the need for treating primary lesions in newly diagnosed mPCa patients compared to ADT alone.
