Abstract
Background: In PSMAfore, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in taxane-naive patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), with a favourable safety profile, versus a change in androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). We report the final overall survival (OS) analysis and updated safety data.
Patients and methods: PSMAfore (NCT04689828) was an open-label, international, phase 3 trial. Patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive mCRPC who had experienced disease progression once on a previous ARPI and were candidates for ARPI change were randomized 1:1 to 177Lu-PSMA-617 or ARPI change to abiraterone or enzalutamide. Crossover from ARPI change to 177Lu-PSMA-617 was allowed after centrally confirmed radiographic progression. Endpoints included rPFS (primary), OS (key secondary), and safety (secondary).
Results: Patients were randomized to 177Lu-PSMA-617 or ARPI change (n = 234 each): 141/234 participants (60.3%) randomized to ARPI change crossed over (75.4% of those with centrally confirmed radiographic progression). The median OS was 24.48 months (95% CI 19.55-28.94) with 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus 23.13 (19.61-25.53) with ARPI change (hazard ratio [HR] 0.91 [95% CI 0.72-1.14]; p = 0.20) based on the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle; the crossover-adjusted OS HR by inverse probability of censoring weighting modelling was 0.59 (95% CI 0.38-0.91). For 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus ARPI change, exposure-adjusted incidences of grade ≥ 3 and serious treatment-emergent adverse events were 60.8 versus 85.1 and 32.5 versus 49.9 per 100 patient-treatment years, respectively. Dry mouth occurred in 135/227 participants (59.5%; 2/227 grade ≥ 3) and anaemia in 62/227 (27.3%; 14/227 grade ≥ 3) in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 arm.
Conclusions: OS analyses did not show a statistically significant difference between the 177Lu-PSMA-617 and ARPI arms based on the ITT principle; results were likely confounded by the high rate of crossover. The safety profile of 177Lu-PSMA-617 was favourable with no new safety signals identified.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Oncology, the official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, offers rapid and efficient peer-reviewed publications on innovative cancer treatments and translational research in oncology and precision medicine.
The journal primarily focuses on areas such as systemic anticancer therapy, with a specific emphasis on molecular targeted agents and new immune therapies. We also welcome randomized trials, including negative results, as well as top-level guidelines. Additionally, we encourage submissions in emerging fields that are crucial to personalized medicine, such as molecular pathology, bioinformatics, modern statistics, and biotechnologies. Manuscripts related to radiotherapy, surgery, and pediatrics will be considered if they demonstrate a clear interaction with any of the aforementioned fields or if they present groundbreaking findings.
Our international editorial board comprises renowned experts who are leaders in their respective fields. Through Annals of Oncology, we strive to provide the most effective communication on the dynamic and ever-evolving global oncology landscape.
