Abstract

Introduction: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis and few therapeutic options. In recent years, 177Lu-PSMA, a novel radioligand therapy, has shown promising results in patients who have failed conventional therapies. However, around 30% of patients do not respond adequately to this treatment. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined clinical, biological, and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT-derived factors associated with poor treatment response.

Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including 63 patients treated at ICO Angers for progressive mCRPC following Novel Hormonal Agents and taxane-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was early treatment discontinuation, defined as stopping therapy at or before the 4th cycle. Secondary endpoints included PSA response and overall survival.

Results: A total of 63 patients were included in the study. Factors associated with early treatment discontinuation included a BMI < 25 kg/m2, PSA doubling time < 2 months, hemoglobin levels <10 g/dL, albumin levels <35 g/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels >250 IU/L and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels >125 IU/L. On 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging, low SULmax, high Total Tumor Volume, and a low PSG score were also linked to early treatment discontinuation.

Conclusion: This study identified several clinical, biological, and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT-derived factors associated with early treatment discontinuation. Patients with poor overall health, aggressive or extensive disease, or low PSMA expression are at higher risk of treatment failure.

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Medicine publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research linking basic research to clinical practice and patient care, as well as translating scientific advances into new therapies and diagnostic tools. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. In addition to papers that provide a link between basic research and clinical practice, a particular emphasis is given to studies that are directly relevant to patient care. In this spirit, the journal publishes the latest research results and medical knowledge that facilitate the translation of scientific advances into new therapies or diagnostic tools. The full listing of the Specialty Sections represented by Frontiers in Medicine is as listed below. As well as the established medical disciplines, Frontiers in Medicine is launching new sections that together will facilitate - the use of patient-reported outcomes under real world conditions - the exploitation of big data and the use of novel information and communication tools in the assessment of new medicines - the scientific bases for guidelines and decisions from regulatory authorities - access to medicinal products and medical devices worldwide - addressing the grand health challenges around the world
