Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study aims to identify baseline prognostic factors in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with radium-223. METHODS Data about demographics, ECOG performance status, lymph node (LN) involvement, local treatment for prostate cancer, previous systemic treatments, cells blood count, PSA, ALP, albumin, LDH, bone protecting agents use (BPA), analgesic use and survival were collected. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS Seventy-five men received radium-223 between September 2013 and December 2019. Median age was 73 years. Thirty-four (45.3%) had ECOG PS 0, 41 (54.7%) PS 1-2. In univariable analysis, LN involvement (HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.01-2.80, P=0.047), absence of local treatment on primary tumor (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.13-3.29, P=0.016), baseline strong opioidsuse (HR 1.82, 95% CI 1.08-3.06, P=0.024), high platelets to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.06-3.45, P=0.03), high baseline ALP (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.10-2.99, P=0.019) and high baseline LDH (HR 3.86,95% CI 2.01-7.41, P<0.001) were significantly associated with worst OS. At multivariable analysis, LN involvement, strong opioids use, baseline ALP, LDH and PLR levels were significantly associated with outcome. CONCLUSIONS In mCRPC patients treated with Radium-223, baseline ALP, LDH, strong opioid use, PLR, LN involvement and treatment on primary site are associated with different OS.

Hematologic Toxicity From Radium-223 Therapy for Bone Metastases in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Risk Factors and Practical Considerations. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2018; 16:e919-e926. [PMID: 29678471 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2018.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2018] [Revised: 03/05/2018] [Accepted: 03/18/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Radium-223 dichloride is an α-emitting radiopharmaceutical that localizes to bone matrix and is approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and symptomatic bone metastases. The cumulative impact of Ra-223 and other therapeutic agents for metastatic CRPC on myelosuppression in bone marrow is unknown. The phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ALSYMPCA trial of Ra-223 in patients with CRPC and symptomatic bone metastases demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival. Of the 571 patients subsequently followed for 3 years, few in either the Ra-223 or placebo arm experienced hematologic adverse events. Little evidence shows secondary malignancies associated with Ra-223 treatment; only 2 cases of secondary leukemia after Ra-223 treatment were found in the literature. The goals of this review were to summarize safety and efficacy results from clinical trials and institutional safety data pertaining to hematologic adverse events occurring with Ra-223, and to discuss practical management issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prostate cancer is a highly prevalent form of cancer in older men and is one of the leading causes of death from cancer in men across the globe. Many therapeutic agents have been approved for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), particularly as a post-docetaxel treatment strategy. The objective of this systematic literature review was to assess published efficacy and safety data for select mCRPC therapies - such as abiraterone, cabazitaxel, and enzalutamide - in the post-docetaxel setting. METHODS Database searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL, in conjunction with hand searches of multiple congress abstracts, yielded 13 randomized studies and 107 non-randomized studies that met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Randomized studies demonstrated significant improvements in median overall survival (OS) outcomes over placebo for abiraterone (15.8 vs. 11.2 months) and enzalutamide (18.4 vs. 13.6 months), and similar significant improvements were noted for cabazitaxel over mitoxantrone (15.1 vs. 12.7 months). Differences in progression-free survival (PFS) were similarly significant, although variance in the criteria for measuring PFS may limit the extent to which these outcomes can be compared between studies. Non-randomized evidence included multiple publications from several early access and compassionate use programs with a primary objective to report safety outcomes. Results from these studies largely reflected the findings in randomized trials. CONCLUSIONS Overall, there is a growing body of evidence for post-docetaxel treatment options available in patients with mCRPC. Further head-to-head trials or indirect treatment comparisons may be a valuable method to assess the comparative efficacy of these therapies.
