Abstract
Background: Degarelix is a third-generation GnRH receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of prostate cancer, however, the decision to use a GnRH agonist or an antagonist depends on several factors. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis comparing the cardiovascular disease risk between degarelix and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in patients with all stages of prostate cancer.
Methods: Databases were searched for randomized control trials (RCTs) and observational studies that compared the risk of cardiovascular disease between degarelix and GnRH agonists in patients with prostate cancer. We computed for binary endpoints risk ratio (RR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) which were analyzed using a random-effects model.
Results: A total of 15 studies were included with 123,969 patients and follow-up ranging from 3 to 13 months. Degarelix was associated with a significantly lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (RR 0.59; 95% CI 0.41-0.84; p = 0.003; I2 = 84%). Incidence of stroke (RR 0.89; 95% CI 0.56-1.42; p = 0.62; I2 = 0%), all-cause mortality (RR 0.64; 95% CI 0.37-1.13; p = 0.12; I2 = 41%), hypertension (RR 0.71; 95% CI 0.48, 1.04; p = 0.08; I2 = 0%), myocardial infarction (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0·59-1·84; p = 0·86; I2 = 66%), heart failure (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.38-1.62; p = 0.52; I2 = 79%) and arrhythmia (RR 0.63; 95% CI 0.28-1.41; p = 0.86; I2 = 37%), did not reach a statistically significant difference between groups.
Conclusion: In patients with prostate cancer, degarelix is associated with a significantly lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events.
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
