Abstract
5003 Background: [ 177 Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 ( 177 Lu-PSMA-617) prolonged radiographic progression-free survival vs change of androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) in taxane-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in PSMAfore (NCT04689828). We now present health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and pain outcomes at second interim analysis. Methods: Eligible patients had mCRPC, were candidates for change of ARPI after progression on one prior ARPI, and had ≥1 PSMA-positive and no exclusionary PSMA-negative metastatic lesions by [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Ineligible patients were candidates for PARP inhibition or had received prior systemic radiotherapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1 to open-label 177 Lu-PSMA-617 (7.4 GBq/6 weeks; 6 cycles) or ARPI change (abiraterone/enzalutamide). Patients with confirmed radiographic progression on ARPI change could cross over to 177 Lu-PSMA-617. Secondary endpoints included time to worsening (TTW) in self-reported HRQoL (FACT-P, EQ-5D-5L) and pain (BPI-SF), defined as a composite of score worsening (prespecified thresholds), clinical progression (including new anti-cancer treatment) or death. Post hoc analyses of TTW in FACT-P and BPI-SF excluded clinical progression and death. The study was not powered for these endpoints and type I error was not controlled. Results: We randomized 468 patients (234/arm) with a median age of 72 years (range, 43–94). Median duration of exposure was 8.4 months for 177 Lu-PSMA-617 and 6.5 months for ARPI change. 177 Lu-PSMA-617 delayed TTW in FACT-P, EQ-5D-5L and BPI-SF scales and subscales vs ARPI change (Table). Results were similar in non-composite analyses. Incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs), serious AEs and AEs leading to discontinuation for 177 Lu-PSMA-617 and ARPI change were 34% vs 44%, 20% vs 28% and 5.7% vs 5.2%, respectively. Conclusions: 177 Lu-PSMA-617 delayed TTW in self-reported pain and HRQoL vs change of ARPI in taxane-naïve patients with PSMA-positive mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT04689828 .
