Background: Despite its demonstrated efficacy in prolonging overall survival (OS) and delaying skeletal-related events in the ALSYMPCA trial, the optimal timing of radium-223 initiation remains unclear. This study investigated factors influencing radium-223 treatment outcomes, including completion rates and survival.

Methods: This retrospective, multi-institutional study included 164 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who received radium-223 therapy.

Does enzalutamide related PSMA upregulation affect outcomes of lutetium-177 PSMA radioligand therapy?

Urologia

August 2024

Division of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Diagnostic, Molecular and Interventional Radiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Enzalutamide is an antiandrogen drug used prior to lutetium-177 prostate specific membrane antigen (Lu-PSMA) radioligand therapy and has shown promising results for upregulating the PSMA expression on prostate cancer cells. In this study, we aim to compare prostate specific antigen (PSA) level changes in prostate cancer patients who received enzalutamide to those who did not.

Methods: Prostate cancer patients who underwent Lu-PSMA between 2021 and 2023 were retrospectively included.

The present study aimed to evaluate the optimal timing of radium-223 chloride (Ra-223) administration among patients with bone metastasis from castration-resistant prostate cancer (BmCRPC). Patients, who were diagnosed with BmCRPC and treated with Ra-223 therapy between October, 2016 and January, 2022, were reviewed. The survival time was calculated from the initiation of Ra-223 administration.

Urinary DNA as a Tool for Germline and Somatic Mutation Detection in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients.

Biomedicines

March 2023

Division of Human Genome Research Centre, Institute of Biosciences, Life Sciences Center, Vilnius University, Sauletekio Ave. 7, LT-10257 Vilnius, Lithuania.

(1) Background: DNA damage response (DDR) pathway gene mutations are detectable in a significant number of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study aimed at identification of germline and/or somatic DDR mutations in blood and urine samples from patients with mCRPC for correlation with responses to entire sequence of systemic treatment and survival outcomes. (2) Methods: DDR gene mutations were assessed prospectively in DNA samples from leukocytes and urine sediments from 149 mCRPC patients using five-gene panel targeted sequencing.

What Is This Summary About?: Few life-prolonging treatment options are available for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This article provides an overview of the current systemic treatments available for mCRPC and reviews studies that investigate the optimal timing for the use of radium-223. The aim is to illustrate possible systemic treatment sequences to maximize benefit from radium-223 therapy.
