The study will provide information on patients' quality of life and its variations over time in relation to the treatments received for the prostate cancer.
613 Background: NIVO showed an increased on OS in pre-treated mRCC. The introduction of metastasis SBRT could improve the clinical outcomes. NIVES Study evaluated the efficacy and safety of SBRT in combination with NIVO in II and III line of mRCC pts. Methods: This is a phase II, single arm, multicentre study in mRCC pts with PD after ≤2 prior anti-angiogenic therapies with measurable metastatic sites, and at least one suitable for SBRT. The pts received hypofractionated radiation in 1 lesion at dose of 10 Gy/3 fractions after 7 days from the first infusion of NIVO. NIVO is given as flat dose of 240 mg on day 1 every 14 days for 6 months, then 480 mg q4-weekly in responding pts until PD or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point is ORR. Secondary endpoints are PFS, OS, ORR of irradiated and non-irradiated metastasis and safety profile. Results: 69 pts were enrolled from July 2017 to March 2019 in 12 Italian centers. Pt characteristics were: 79.7% clear cell histology, 82.6% males, 79.7%% IMDC intermediate/poor, median age 67 yrs (43-85), 18.8% third line, 21.7% non-nephrectomy. The most frequent sites of SBRT were lung (37.7%), lymphonodes (15.9%), bone (11.6%). At the time of this analysis, median number of NIVO doses received was 12 (1-32). The ORR was 19% (1 CR) and DCR 63.5% (no statistically difference between site of SBRT and ORR); the largest benefit in pts with clear cell histology (p=0.01). Median PFS was 4 months (95%CI, 2.8-7.1), median OS 22.1 months (95%CI, 18.1-NR). With a median follow-up of 15 months (0-25.6), 6-month and 9-month survival rates were 80.3% and 56.1% respectively. 7 pts (10.1%) discontinued treatment due to AEs; grade(G) 3-4 toxicities related to NIVO were experienced in 17 pts (24.6%). The most frequent G3-4 toxicities included diarrhea (5.8%), amylase/lipase increased (4.3%) and hypothyroidism (4.3%); no G3-4 toxicities related to SBRT. Conclusions: The NIVES Study represents the first prospective trial of NIVO and SBRT combination in pre-treated mRCC pts. At present the Study showed a high DCR and no-increase of toxicity. It is ongoing the analysis of correlation between efficacy and PD-L1 expression. Clinical trial information: NCT03469713.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma/basaloid cell carcinoma of the prostate (ACC/BCC) is a very rare variant of prostate cancer with uncertain behavior. Few cases are reported in the literature. Data on treatment options are scarce. The aim of our work was to retrospectively review the published reports. Thirty-three case reports or case series were analyzed (106 patients in total). Pathological features, management, and follow-up information were evaluated. Despite the relatively low level of evidence given the unavoidable lack of prospective trials for such a rare prostate tumor, the following considerations were made: prostate ACC/BCC is an aggressive tumor often presenting with locally advanced disease and incidental diagnosis occurs during transurethral resection of the prostate for urinary obstructive symptoms. Prostate-specific antigen was not a reliable marker for diagnosis nor follow-up. Adequate staging with Computed Tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) should be performed before treatment and during follow-up, while there is no evidence for the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Radical surgery with negative margins and possibly adjuvant radiotherapy appear to be the treatments of choice. The response to androgen deprivation therapy was poor. Currently, there is no evidence of the use of truly effective systemic therapies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
