Randomized Phase Ii

Purpose Retrospective studies suggest that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) improves progression-free survival. We aimed to assess the benefit of MDT in a randomized phase II trial. Patients and Methods In this multicenter, randomized, phase II study, patients with asymptomatic PCa were eligible if they had had a biochemical recurrence after primary PCa treatment with curative intent, three or fewer extracranial metastatic lesions on choline positron emission tomography–computed tomography, and serum testosterone levels > 50 ng/mL. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either surveillance or MDT of all detected lesions (surgery or stereotactic body radiotherapy). Surveillance was performed with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) follow-up every 3 months, with repeated imaging at PSA progression or clinical suspicion for progression. Random assignment was balanced dynamically on the basis of two factors: PSA doubling time (≤ 3 v > 3 months) and nodal versus non-nodal metastases. The primary end point was androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)–free survival. ADT was started at symptomatic progression, progression to more than three metastases, or local progression of known metastases. Results Between August 2012 and August 2015, 62 patients were enrolled. At a median follow-up time of 3 years (interquartile range, 2.3-3.75 years), the median ADT-free survival was 13 months (80% CI, 12 to 17 months) for the surveillance group and 21 months (80% CI, 14 to 29 months) for the MDT group (hazard ratio, 0.60 [80% CI, 0.40 to 0.90]; log-rank P = .11). Quality of life was similar between arms at baseline and remained comparable at 3-month and 1-year follow-up. Six patients developed grade 1 toxicity in the MDT arm. No grade 2 to 5 toxicity was observed. Conclusion ADT-free survival was longer with MDT than with surveillance alone for oligorecurrent PCa, suggesting that MDT should be explored further in phase III trials.

The Impact

6 Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer is rapidly increasing. Reported regimens differ in time, dose, and fractionation. We report the results of a multicentre, Canadian randomized phase II study to investigate the impact of overall treatment time on quality of life (QOL) and toxicity. Methods: Men with cT1-2b, Gleason <=7, and PSA <= 20 ng/mL prostate cancer were randomly assigned to 40 Gy in 5 fractions delivered every other day (11 days) vs. once per week (29 days) using gantry-based SBRT. QOL was assessed using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) at baseline, weeks 2, 4, 6, 12, months 6 and 12, then annually. Toxicity was graded according to RTOG Criteria. The primary end point was the proportion of patients with a minimum clinically important change (MCIC) in bowel QOL at any time during the acute (<=12 week) period and was analyzed by Fisher’s exact test with a two-sided p < 0.05 considered significant. MCIC was defined as a decrease in EPIC score of >0.5 standard deviation of the baseline value. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01423474. Results: 152 men from 3 centres were randomized with a median follow-up of 13.1 months. Baseline characteristics were similar in both arms except for the International Prostate Symptom Score with medians of 4 vs. 7 in the 11 and 29 day groups, respectively (p=0.02). There were significant differences between the 11 and 29 day groups in the proportion of patients with acute MCIC in bowel (90.0% vs. 69.6%, p<0.01) and urinary (95.7% vs. 74.6%, p<0.01) scores, respectively. No differences were found in acute sexual (p=0.38) or hormonal (p=0.48) QOL. Worst acute grade 1, 2, 3 toxicities were 64, 18, 0% vs. 41, 11, 0% (p<0.01) for GI and 38, 32, 1% vs. 30, 34, 3% (p=0.69) for GU in the 11 and 29 day groups, respectively. There were no late grade 3+ GI toxicities. Late grade 3 GU toxicity occurred in 1 vs. 0 patients in the 11 and 29 day arms (p=0.32). Conclusions: Prostate SBRT delivered over 29 days was associated with superior bowel and urinary QOL compared to 11 days in the first 3 months of treatment. There were few severe (grade 3+) toxicities in either group. Follow-up is continuing to compare long-term outcomes. Clinical trial information: NCT01423474.

Purpose Both docetaxel and thalidomide have demonstrated activity in androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC). We compared the efficacy of docetaxel to docetaxel plus thalidomide in patients with AIPC. Methods Seventy-five patients with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic AIPC were randomly assigned to receive either docetaxel 30 mg/m2 intravenously every week for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by a 1-week rest period (n = 25); or docetaxel at the same dose and schedule, plus thalidomide 200 mg orally each day (n = 50). Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) consensus criteria and radiographic scans were used to determine the proportion of patients with a PSA decline, and time to progression. Results After a median potential follow-up time of 26.4 months, the proportion of patients with a greater than 50% decline in PSA was higher in the docetaxel/thalidomide group (53% in the combined group, 37% in docetaxel-alone arm). The median progression-free survival in the docetaxel group was 3.7 months and 5.9 months in the combined group (P = .32). At 18 months, overall survival in the docetaxel group was 42.9% and 68.2% in the combined group. Toxicities in both groups were manageable after administration of prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin in the combination group. Conclusion In this randomized phase II trial, the addition of thalidomide to docetaxel resulted in an encouraging PSA decline rate and overall median survival rate in patients with metastatic AIPC. After the prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin was instituted to prevent venous thromboses, the combination regimen was well tolerated. Larger randomized trials are warranted to assess the impact of this combination.
