Purpose Retrospective studies suggest that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) improves progression-free survival. We aimed to assess the benefit of MDT in a randomized phase II trial. Patients and Methods In this multicenter, randomized, phase II study, patients with asymptomatic PCa were eligible if they had had a biochemical recurrence after primary PCa treatment with curative intent, three or fewer extracranial metastatic lesions on choline positron emission tomography-computed tomography, and serum testosterone levels > 50 ng/mL. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either surveillance or MDT of all detected lesions (surgery or stereotactic body radiotherapy). Surveillance was performed with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) follow-up every 3 months, with repeated imaging at PSA progression or clinical suspicion for progression. Random assignment was balanced dynamically on the basis of two factors: PSA doubling time (≤ 3 v > 3 months) and nodal versus non-nodal metastases. The primary end point was androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-free survival. ADT was started at symptomatic progression, progression to more than three metastases, or local progression of known metastases. Results Between August 2012 and August 2015, 62 patients were enrolled. At a median follow-up time of 3 years (interquartile range, 2.3-3.75 years), the median ADT-free survival was 13 months (80% CI, 12 to 17 months) for the surveillance group and 21 months (80% CI, 14 to 29 months) for the MDT group (hazard ratio, 0.60 [80% CI, 0.40 to 0.90]; log-rank P = .11). Quality of life was similar between arms at baseline and remained comparable at 3-month and 1-year follow-up. Six patients developed grade 1 toxicity in the MDT arm. No grade 2 to 5 toxicity was observed. Conclusion ADT-free survival was longer with MDT than with surveillance alone for oligorecurrent PCa, suggesting that MDT should be explored further in phase III trials.
10 Background: Multiple randomized phase II trials suggest that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) improves progression-free survival, but the majority of trials lack longer follow-up. We present the updated 5-year results from the STOMP-trial. Methods: In this multicentre, randomised, phase II study, asymptomatic PCa patients were eligible in case of a biochemical recurrence following primary PCa treatment with curative intent and presenting with up to 3 extracranial on choline PET-CT and a serum testosterone levels > 50 ng/ml. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either surveillance or MDT of all detected lesions. Randomisation was balanced dynamically on two factors: PSA doubling time (≤3 vs. > 3 months) and nodal vs non-nodal metastases. The primary endpoint was androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-free survival. Castrate resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CRPC) was a secondary endpoint. Tests were performed two-sided; p values less than 0.20 were deemed significant. Results: The 5-year ADT-free survival was 8% for the surveillance group and 34% for the MDT group (Figure 1, hazard ratio 0.57 [80% CI: 0.38-0.84], log-rank p = 0.06). There was no significant difference in effect for the different stratification factors (interaction test). The 5-year CRPC-free survival was 53% for the surveillance group and 76% for the MDT group (hazard ratio 0.62 [80% CI: 0.35−1.09]; log−rank p = 0.27). At a median follow for survival of 5.3 years (IQR 4.3-6.3), the 5-year overall survival was 85%, with 6 out of 14 deaths attributed to prostate cancer. Conclusions: The updated STOMP trial outcomes confirm the earlier reported significant difference in ADT free survival in favor of the MDT group compared to surveillance. Prostate-cancer related mortality is low within the first 5 years of diagnosis of oligorecurrent prostate cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT01558427.
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co‐primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported. The initial STOMP and ORIOLE trial reports suggested that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in oligometastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (omCSPC) was associated with improved treatment outcomes. Here, we present long-term outcomes of MDT in omCSPC by pooling STOMP and ORIOLE and assess the ability of a high-risk mutational signature to risk stratify outcomes after MDT. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. High-risk mutations were defined as pathogenic somatic mutations within ATM, BRCA1/ 2, Rb1, or TP53. The median follow-up for the whole group was 52.5 months. Median PFS was prolonged with MDT compared with observation (pooled hazard ratio [HR], 0.44; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.66; P value < .001), with the largest benefit of MDT in patients with a high-risk mutation (HR high-risk: 0.05; HR no high-risk: 0.42; P value for interaction: .12). Within the MDT cohort, the PFS was 13.4 months in those without a high-risk mutation, compared with 7.5 months in those with a high-risk mutation (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.25 to 1.11; P = .09). Long-term outcomes from the only two randomized trials in omCSPC suggest a sustained clinical benefit to MDT over observation. A high-risk mutational signature may help risk stratify treatment outcomes after MDT.
A clinical pathway for patients with PCa improved the implementation of evidence-based strategies for the management of ADT-induced side effects. A clinical pathway could serve as a method to bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and daily clinical practice.
