Unlabelled: ABSTRACT  Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in docetaxel-naive and docetaxel-pretreated patients.

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: HSU Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Department of Medical Oncology, Ankara, Turkey, from March 2017 to July 2019.

Methodology: A total of 67 patients with mCRPC were retrospectively evaluated. Castration-naive patients and non-metastatic patients were excluded from the study. Comorbid diseases, ECOG performance status, PSA response, and the radiological response of the patients were recorded. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and a Cox regression model was formed.

Results: The overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in patients with eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG PS) 0 (26.0 vs. 14.0 months, p=0.031), PSA response (26.0 vs. 7.0 months, p=0.002), radiological response (26.0 vs. 10.0 months, p=0.006) and duration of enzalutamide ≥9 months (26.0 vs. 7.0 months, p<0.001) compared to ECOG PS 1. According to Cox regression analysis, patients with PSA response had 0.35 fold (CI.95% 0.13-0.94) reduced the risk of death and 0.36-fold (CI.95%0.16-0.85) reduced the risk of progression compared to those without PSA response. Moreover, longer enzalutamide treatment (≥9 months) was noted to decrease the risk of death.

Conclusion: PSA response, radiological response and duration of enzalutamide treatment may predict the improvement of survival in patients with mCRPC treated with enzalutamide.   Key Words: Enzalutamide, Docetaxel, Castration-resistant prostate cancer, Overall survival, Progression-free survival.

Purpose: Lutetium-177 Prostate-specific membrane antigen (Lu-PSMA) radioligand therapy is EMA-approved for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after androgen receptor pathway inhibition (ARPI) and taxan-based chemotherapy. However, its effect in taxan-naïve patients is under current investigation.

Methods: We relied on the FRAMCAP database to elaborate Lu-PSMA therapy outcomes of progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) in taxan-naïve mCRPC patients after previous ARPI treatment.

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.

Oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) represents an intermediate state in the progression from localized disease to widespread metastasis when the radiographically significant sites are limited in number and location. With no clear consensus on a definition, its diagnostic significance and associated optimal therapeutic approach remain controversial, posing a significant challenge for clinicians. The current standard of care for metastatic disease is to start systemic therapy; however, active surveillance and targeted radiotherapy have become attractive options to mitigate the long-term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
