Background: Although the adjuvant therapy of bisphosphonates in prostate cancer is effective in improving bone mineral density, it is still uncertain whether bisphosphonates could decrease the risk of Skeletal- Related Event (SRE) in patients with prostate cancer. We reviewed and analyzed the effect of different types of bisphosphonates on the risk of SRE, defined as pathological fracture, spinal cord compression, radiation therapy to the bone, surgery to bone, hypercalcemia, bone pain, or death as a result of prostate cancer. Methods: A systemic literature search was conducted on PubMed and related bibliographies. The emphasis during data extraction was laid on the Hazard Ratio (HR) and the corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (CI) from every eligible Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). HR was pooled with the fixed effects model, and preplanned subgroup analyses were performed. Results: 5 RCTs (n = 4651) were included and analyzed finally after screening 51 articles. The meta-analysis of all participants showed no significant decrease in the risk of SRE when adding bisphosphonates to control group (HR = 0.968, 95% CI = 0.874 - 1.072, p = 0.536) with low heterogeneity (I2 = 0.0% (d.f. = 4) p = 0.679). There was no significant improvement on SRE neither in the subgroups with Metastases (M1) or Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (CSPC) (respectively HR = 0.968, 95% CI = 0.874 - 1.072, p = 0.536, I2 = 0.0% (d.f. = 4) p = 0.679; HR = 0.954, 95% CI = 0.837 - 1.088, p = 0.484, I2 = 0.0% (d.f. = 3) p = 0.534). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that bisphosphonates could not statistically significantly reduce the risk of SRE in patients with prostate cancer, neither in the subgroups with M1 or CSPC.

Abstract Purpose Radium-223 is a life-prolonging therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with symptomatic bone metastases. However, validated biomarkers for response monitoring are lacking. The study aim was to investigate whether early alkaline phosphatase (ALP) dynamics after the first radium-223 injection can act as surrogate marker for overall survival (OS). Methods This retrospective multicenter study included consecutive CRPC patients treated with radium-223. Patients were divided into four subgroups based on baseline ALP level (normal/elevated) and early ALP response, defined as ≥10% ALP decrease after the first radium-223 injection. Primary endpoint was OS among the subgroups. Secondary endpoints included time to first skeletal-related event, time to ALP progression, and treatment completion rate. Results A total of 180 patients were included for analysis. Median OS was 13.5 months (95% confidence interval 11.5–15.5). Patients with elevated baseline ALP without ALP response after the first injection had significantly worse OS when compared to all other patients (median OS 7.9 months versus 15.7 months, hazard ratio 2.56, 95% confidence interval 1.73–3.80, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that elevated baseline ALP without ALP response after the first injection, the number of prior systemic therapies, baseline LDH level, and baseline ECOG performance status were prognostic factors of OS. Patients with elevated baseline ALP without ALP response after the first injection had significantly shorter times to ALP progression and first skeletal-related event, and more frequently discontinued radium-223 therapy when compared to other patients. Conclusion Early treatment–induced changes in ALP after one radium-223 injection were associated with OS in metastatic CRPC patients.

Introduction Bone metastases are common in patients with breast cancer and can lead to pain and skeletal-related events. Bone modifying agents are licensed to be used for these patients. We report the treatment patterns and outcome of zoledronic acid and denosumab in routine practice. Methodology Women with bone metastases from breast cancer who have started denosumab or zoledronic acid between 2011 and 2016 were eligible. Those with history of bone modifying agent use prior to diagnosis of bone metastases or with switching treatment between zoledronic acid and denosumab were excluded. Details of patients, tumors, bone modifying agent treatment, selected bone modifying agent toxicity, time to skeletal-related event development, and overall survival were collected retrospectively. Results In total, 163 women were eligible and included in this analysis. Number of skeletal-related events prior to starting bone modifying agents was 0, 1, 2, and 3 in 91 (55.8%), 53 (32.5%), 13 (8%), and 6 (3.7%), respectively. Zoledronic acid was started for 107 (65.6%) and denosumab for 56 (34.4%) patients. The proportion of patients receiving denosumab increased from 23.1 to 54.3% in years 2011 and 2016, respectively. Dose delay, reduction, and discontinuation due to toxicity were reported more frequently in patients receiving zoledronic acid. Denosumab delayed time to first on-treatment skeletal-related event compared with zoledronic acid (hazard ratio, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.41–0.98; log rank P = 0.044). There was no significant difference in median survival (zoledronic acid: 62 and denosumab: 58 months; log rank P = 0.956). Conclusion Denosumab is superior to zoledronic acid in reducing risk of skeletal-related events and in tolerance profile. However, overall survival is similar with both treatments. Our findings mirror those reported in scrutinized environment of landmark clinical trials.
