AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the characteristics and treatment patterns of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) patients across the US, Europe, and Japan, based on data from the 2015-2017 Ipsos Global Oncology Monitor Database.
  • A total of 2,065 patients were analyzed, with a median age of 74-80 years, a significant portion diagnosed at stage III, and most being treated by urologists.
  • Initial treatments mainly included hormone therapies, but over time, there was a shift towards chemotherapy and newer treatment options as patients progressed in their nmCRPC treatment journey.

Article Abstract

We conducted this study to describe nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) patient characteristics and treatment patterns in the US, Europe and Japan. Descriptive analyses were conducted using the 2015-2017 Ipsos Global Oncology Monitor Database. A total of 2065 (442 in the US, 509 in Europe and 1114 in Japan) patients (median age: 74-80 years; stage III at diagnosis 38.5%; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] score ≤1: 79.4%; treated by urologist 88.4%) were included in the analytic cohort. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists and antiandrogens were the most commonly used first regimen treatments. With subsequent nmCRPC regimens their use decreased, while the use of chemotherapy, corticosteroids, androgen synthesis inhibitors and second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors increased. These data represent real-world treatment patterns in nmCRPC.

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers and poses a significant health burden. New androgen-targeted therapies are now standard treatments for various stages of prostate cancer, including hormone-sensitive, metastatic, and non-metastatic castration-resistant types. These therapies are generally well tolerated and often have fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

Background: Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) has become clinically important in PCa management, with treatments aiming to delay metastasis. However, limited data exist on its prevalence and patient characteristics in real-world settings.

Methods: We retrospectively investigated the clinical records of 1929 patients who were treated for localized PCa between 2005 and 2018.

Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a target in prostate cancer therapy and can be treated with non-steroidal anti-androgens (NSAA) including enzalutamide, and apalutamide for patients with advanced disease. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCPRC) develop resistance becomes refractory to therapy limiting patient overall survival. Darolutamide is a novel next-generation androgen receptor-signaling inhibitor that is FDA approved for non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).

The recent evidences provided in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC) and in nonmetastatic castration resistant (nmCRPC) introduced the possibility to adopt Androgen Receptor Signaling inhibitor (ARSi) alone (both settings) or with chemotherapy (in mHSPC). In daily clinical practice there are some opening questions regarding the inclusion of next generation imaging, mainly PSMA-PET, how integrate local treatment as radiotherapy, how to select patients or drugs in a multiple-choice scenario, and how to manage patients with comorbidities and polypharmacy. These issues led the Italian Society for Uro-Oncology (SIUrO) to develop a consensus project involving all of the most important Italian scientific societies engaged in the multidisciplinary and multiprofessional management of the disease.

Localized high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogeneous disease whose likelihood of a biochemical recurrence, metastatic progression and cancer-related mortality after initial treatment is higher when compared with patients with low (LR) or intermediate-risk (IR) disease. In the past, neoadjuvant therapy has shown an improvement in postoperative oncological variables but failed to demonstrate any survival advantages. With the promising results from novel treatments in metastatic and non-metastatic castration resistant PCa settings, new evidence has appeared in the literature in the neoadjuvant setting.
