BACKGROUND: Investigation remains incomplete regarding potential variations in the effect of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, including apalutamide, based on baseline tumor burden in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). METHODS: The authors analyzed individual participant-level data from 1052 patients with mCSPC who were randomized in the TITAN trial (apalutamide vs. placebo, both with androgen-deprivation therapy). Outcomes included radiographic progression-free survival (PFS), second PFS (PFS2), and overall survival (OS). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models, with and without restricted cubic splines, were used to determine the association between apalutamide benefit and bone metastasis count or visceral metastasis. Subgroup treatment effects were quantified based on inverse probability of treatment weighting-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS: Analysis using restricted cubic splines indicated that apalutamide provided less benefit for PFS2 and OS in patients with fewer bone metastases. The authors also found evidence of a heterogeneous effect of apalutamide on PFS2 and OS between patients with two or less bone metastases and those with three or more bone metastases. In patients who had two or less bone metastases, there was no evidence of a benefit from apalutamide for radiographic PFS (HR, 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-1.22), PFS2 (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.66-2.12), or OS (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.60-1.83). No evidence of an association was noted between visceral metastasis and apalutamide benefit. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of apalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy may provide less benefit in patients with mCSPC who have fewer bone metastases. Counting baseline bone metastases may help identify optimal candidates for apalutamide treatment of mCSPC. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT02489318 PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: In an analysis of individual participant data from a trial (the TITAN trial) in patients with metastatic (spreading) castration-sensitive prostate cancer, treatment intensification based on the addition new drugs to standard androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) was analyzed and compared with the effects in patients who received only standard ADT. Compared with ADT alone, the survival benefit of adding the new drug apalutamide to standard ADT varied according to the number of bone metastases, but no association was observed between the spread of cancer to soft tissues and organs and a survival benefit from adding apalutamide. The results indicate that counting the number of bone metastases may help identify which patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer are optimal candidates for treatment intensification with the addition of apalutamide to standard ADT.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Apalutamide (APA) is a treatment for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). In the ARON-3 study we investigated real-world experiences with APA treatment for mCSPC. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed real-world clinical outcomes for patients with mCSPC treated with APA in the ARON-3 study. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from APA initiation to death from any cause. PSA90 was defined as a prostate-specific antigen decline of ≥90% from baseline, and PSA0.2 as achievement of a PSA level ≤0.2 ng/ml. Data for adverse events were retrospectively collected from electronic and paper charts and categorized according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0. KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: We included 531 patients with mCSPC treated with APA. High-volume disease was reported for 214 patients (40%), and 56 (11%) had visceral metastases. Median OS was not reached. PSA90 was experienced by 461 patients (87%) and PSA0.2 by 368 (69%). Median OS was significantly longer for patients with PSA90 or PSA0.2 than for subjects without these responses (p < 0.001). The incidence of grade 3-4 fatigue was higher among elderly patients (≥80 yr) than among younger patients (19% vs 5%), but the incidence of other adverse events was comparable between the age groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: APA is an effective and tolerable treatment for mCSPC in the real-world setting. PATIENT SUMMARY: The ARON-3 project collects data for patients with prostate cancer treated in multiple centers worldwide to assess outcomes in the real-world setting. We analyzed data for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer receiving apalutamide. Our results show that apalutamide is a safe and effective drug in the real-world setting as well as in clinical trials.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the initial sign of treatment resistance is often prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, followed by radiographic progression. However, the association between these two forms of progression remains unclear, especially in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors. We sought to evaluate the association between radiographic progression, PSA progression, and outcomes of apalutamide therapy in mCSPC. METHODS: We analyzed individual participant-level data for patients randomized within the TITAN trial who experienced radiographic progression during follow-up (N = 326). This study investigated radiographic progression without simultaneous or preceding PSA progression, as defined by the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (discordant progression), and explored the association of such progression with radiographic progression-free survival. KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: Among the patients who developed radiographic progression, 115 (35.3%) had been treated with apalutamide plus ADT (the apalutamide group) and 211 (64.7%) with placebo plus ADT (the placebo group). Discordant progression occurred in 52.2% of patients (60 of 115) in the apalutamide group and 27.5% (58 of 211) in the placebo group (p < 0.001). A multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that discordant progression was associated with apalutamide treatment. We found evidence of an association between discordant progression and shorter radiographic progression-free survival. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This study found that nearly half of the patients with mCSPC treated with apalutamide who experienced radiographic progression developed it without corresponding PSA progression, suggesting that heavy reliance on PSA monitoring may be inadequate for assessing disease activity in this context. PATIENT SUMMARY: In patients who have metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) and are being treated with apalutamide, radiographic images may show cancer progression even if prostate-specific antigen tests indicate no change. This highlights the importance of regular imaging when using apalutamide to manage mCSPC.

Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) represents a well-established biomarker of PCa, and its levels correlate positively with the disease progression, culminating at the stage of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Due to its tissue-specific expression and cell surface localization, PSMA shows superior potential for precise imaging and therapy of PCa. Antibody-based immunotherapy targeting PSMA offers the promise of selectively engaging the host immune system with minimal off-target effects. Here we report on the design, expression, purification, and characterization of a bispecific engager, termed 5D3-CP33, that efficiently recruits macrophages to the vicinity of PSMA-positive cancer cells mediating PCa death. The engager was engineered by fusing the anti-PSMA 5D3 antibody fragment to a cyclic peptide 33 (CP33), selectively binding the Fc gamma receptor I (FcγRI/CD64) on the surface of phagocytes. Functional parts of the 5D3-CP33 engager revealed a nanomolar affinity for PSMA and FcγRI/CD64 with dissociation constants of KD = 3 nM and KD = 140 nM, respectively. At a concentration as low as 0.3 nM, the engager was found to trigger the production of reactive oxygen species by U937 monocytic cells in the presence of PSMA-positive cells. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis demonstrated antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis of PSMA-positive cancer cells by U937 monocytes when exposed to 0.15 nM 5D3-CP33. Our findings illustrate that 5D3-CP33 effectively and specifically activates monocytes upon PSMA-positive target engagement, resulting in the elimination of tumor cells. The 5D3-CP33 engager can thus serve as a promising lead for developing new immunotherapy tools for the efficient treatment of PCa.

BACKGROUND/AIM: New generation androgen receptor-targeting agents (ARTA) have been in the spotlight for their efficacy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) represents one of the most commonly used serum cancer biomarkers worldwide. The present retrospective study focused on the prognostic role of serum PSA isoforms and their early dynamics in mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone acetate (ABI) or enzalutamide (ENZ). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The association between outcomes of 334 mCRPC patients treated with ABI or ENZ and the levels of serum total PSA (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA), [-2]proPSA and the Prostate Health Index (PHI) at baseline and one month after treatment initiation was analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: In the multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, baseline tPSA>50 μg/l (p<0.001), and [-2]proPSA>300 ng/l (p=0.017) remained independent significant factors associated with inferior OS, while baseline fPSA>1.75 μg/l (p=0.050) and Δ [-2]proPSA >-50% approached statistical significance (p=0.062). The results of ROC analyses assessing the ability of baseline tPSA, fPSA, and [-2]proPSA to predict mortality within two years showed area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.709, 0.685, and 0.740, respectively. Among the subgroup with baseline tPSA≤20.0 μg/l, the results of ROC analyses for baseline tPSA, fPSA and [-2]proPSA showed AUC values of 0.441, 0.682, and 0.688, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest a significant correlation between pretreatment serum levels of tPSA and [-2]proPSA with OS in mCRPC patients receiving ARTA.

Androgen receptor-targeting agents, particularly enzalutamide, show promise in enhancing prostate cancer diagnostic and therapeutic strategies by modulating prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Methods: A retrospective clinical cohort study investigated 9 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer on enzalutamide. PSMA PET/CT scans were obtained before and after enzalutamide initiation to assess PSMA expression changes. Lesions and organs at risk were evaluated visually and semiquantitatively. The flare phenomenon was characterized by a significant increase (≥20%) in the SUVmax of existing lesions or the appearance of new PSMA-positive lesions. Results: Exposure to enzalutamide led to a significant PSMA expression increase in 56% of assessed lesions (n = 42), with new lesions detected in 1 patient (11%). PSMA expression in organs at risk remained largely unaffected, indicating a tumor-specific response. Conclusion: Enzalutamide induces PSMA upregulation in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, potentially enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Further exploration of the flare phenomenon's clinical implications is warranted.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: While prostate cancer (PCa) incidence and mortality rates continue to rise, early detection of PCa remains highly controversial, and the research landscape is rapidly evolving. Existing systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) provide valuable insights, but often focus on single aspects of early detection, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the topic. We aim to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive SR of contemporary SRs covering different aspects of early detection of PCa in the European Union (EU) and the UK. METHODS: On June 1, 2023, we searched four databases (Medline ALL via Ovid, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and Google Scholar. To avoid repetition of previous studies, only SRs (qualitative, quantitative, and/or MAs) were considered eligible. In the data, common themes were identified to present the evidence systematically. KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: We identified 1358 citations, resulting in 26 SRs eligible for inclusion. Six themes were identified: (1) invitation: men at general risk should be invited at >50 yr of age, and testing should be discontinued at >70 yr or with <10 yr of life expectancy; (2) decision-making: most health authorities discourage population-based screening and instead recommend a shared decision-making (SDM) approach, but implementation of SDM in clinical practice varies widely; decision aids help men make more informed and value-consistent screening decisions and decrease men's intention to attempt screening, but these do not affect screening uptake; (3) acceptance: facilitators for men considering screening include social prompting by partners and clinician recommendations, while barriers include a lack of knowledge, low-risk perception, and masculinity attributes; (4) screening test and algorithm: prostate-specific antigen-based screening reduces PCa-specific mortality and metastatic disease in men aged 55-69 yr at randomisation if screened at least twice; (5) harms and benefits: these benefits come at the cost of unnecessary biopsies, overdiagnosis, and subsequent overtreatment; and (6) future of screening: risk-adapted screening including (prebiopsy) risk calculators, magnetic resonance imaging, and blood- and urine-based biomarkers could reduce these harms. To enable a comprehensive overview, we focused on SRs. These do not include the most recent prospective studies, which were therefore incorporated in the discussion. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: By identifying consistent and conflicting evidence, this review highlights the evidence-based foundations that can be built upon, as well as areas requiring further research and improvement to reduce the burden of PCa in the EU and UK. PATIENT SUMMARY: This review of 26 reviews covers various aspects of prostate cancer screening such as invitation, decision-making, screening tests, harms, and benefits. This review provides insights into existing evidence, highlighting the areas of consensus and discrepancies, to guide future research and improve prostate cancer screening strategies in Europe.

BACKGROUND: Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3 lesions, identified through multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), present a clinical challenge due to their equivocal nature in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Aim of the study is to improve risk stratification of patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions and candidates for prostate biopsy. METHODS: A cohort of 4841 consecutive patients who underwent MRI and subsequent MRI-targeted and systematic biopsies between January 2016 and April 2023 were retrospectively identified from independent prospectively maintained database. Only patients who have PI-RADS 3 lesions were included in the final analysis. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify covariables associated with csPCa defined as International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group ≥2. Performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration, and net benefit. Significant predictors were then selected for further exploration using a Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) analysis. RESULTS: Overall, 790 patients had PI-RADS 3 lesions and 151 (19%) had csPCa. Significant associations were observed for age (OR: 1.1 [1.0-1.1]; p = 0.01) and PSA density (OR: 1643 [2717-41,997]; p < 0.01). The CHAID analysis identified PSAd as the sole significant factor influencing the decision tree. Cut-offs for PSAd were 0.13 ng/ml/cc (csPCa detection rate of 1% vs. 18%) for the two-nodes model and 0.09 ng/ml/cc and 0.16 ng/ml/cc for the three-nodes model (csPCa detection rate of 0.5% vs. 2% vs. 17%). CONCLUSIONS: For individuals with PI-RADS 3 lesions on prostate mpMRI and a PSAd below 0.13, especially below 0.09, prostate biopsy can be omitted, in order to avoid unnecessary biopsy and overdiagnosis of non-csPCa.

BACKGROUND: Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography using Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA PET/CT) is notable for its superior sensitivity and specificity in detecting recurrent PCa and is under investigation for its potential in pre-treatment staging. Despite its established efficacy in nodal and metastasis staging in trial setting, its role in primary staging awaits fuller validation due to limited evidence on oncologic outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to appraise the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA PET/CT compared to CI for comprehensive PCa staging. METHODS: Medline, Scopus and Web of science databases were searched till March 2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to identify eligible studies. Primary outcomes were specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of PSMA PET/CT for local, nodal and metastatic staging in PCa patients. Due to the unavailability of data, a meta-analysis was feasible only for detection of seminal vesicles invasion (SVI) and LNI. RESULTS: A total of 49 studies, comprising 3876 patients, were included. Of these, 6 investigated accuracy of PSMA PET/CT in detection of SVI. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 42.29% (95%CI: 29.85-55.78%), 87.59% (95%CI: 77.10%-93.67%), 93.39% (95%CI: 74.95%-98.52%) and 86.60% (95%CI: 58.83%-96.69%), respectively. Heterogeneity analysis revealed significant variability for PPV and NPV. 18 studies investigated PSMA PET/CT accuracy in detection of LNI. Aggregate sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 43.63% (95%CI: 34.19-53.56%), 85.55% (95%CI: 75.95%-91.74%), 67.47% (95%CI: 52.42%-79.6%) and 83.61% (95%CI: 79.19%-87.24%). No significant heterogeneity was found between studies. CONCLUSIONS: The present systematic review and meta-analysis highlights PSMA PET-CT effectiveness in detecting SVI and its good accuracy in LNI compared to CI. Nonetheless, it also reveals a lack of high-quality research on its performance in clinical T staging, extraprostatic extension and distant metastasis evaluation, emphasizing the need for further rigorous studies.

Limited evidence exists about preserving neurovascular bundles during radical prostatectomy (RP) for high-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa) patients. Hence, we validated an existing algorithm predicting contralateral extraprostatic extension (cEPE) risk in unilateral high-risk cases. This algorithm aims to assist in determining the suitability of unilateral nerve-sparing RP. Among 264 patients, 48 (18%) had cEPE. The risk of cECE varied: 8%, 17.2%, and 30.8% for the low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively. Despite a higher risk of cECE among individuals classified as low-risk in the development group compared to the validation group, our algorithm's superiority over always/never nerve-sparing RP was reaffirmed by decision curve analysis. Therefore, we conclude that bilateral excision may not always be justified in men with unilateral HRPCa. Instead, decisions can be based on our suggested nomogram.
