Symptomatic skeletal events, health-related quality of life and pain in a phase III study of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in taxane-naive patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: Third interim analysis of PSMAfore
Health-related quality of life and pain in a phase 3 study of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in taxane-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (PSMAfore).
5003 Background: [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (177Lu-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 [68Ga]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 177Lu-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 177Lu-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 177Lu-PSMA-617 and 6.5 months for ARPI change. 177Lu-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 177Lu-PSMA-617 and ARPI change were 34% vs 44%, 20% vs 28% and 5.7% vs 5.2%, respectively. Conclusions: 177Lu-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 .

[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET baseline imaging as a prognostic tool for clinical outcomes to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with mCRPC: A VISION substudy.
5002 Background: In the phase 3 VISION study, gallium (68Ga) gozetotide (68Ga-PSMA-11) PET/CT imaging was used to determine eligibility for lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan (177Lu-PSMA-617). Given that 177Lu-PSMA-617 targets PSMA, we assessed the association between quantitative PSMA imaging parameters and treatment outcomes. Methods: In VISION, adults with mCRPC with ≥ 1 PSMA-positive (+) and no PSMA-negative lesions meeting the exclusion criteria were enrolled. In this sub-study, the association between imaging data from pre-enrollment 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans of pts in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 group and clinical outcomes was assessed. Imaging data meeting quality requirements were analyzed for 548/551 pts. PSMA expression was quantified by 5 PET parameters: PSMA+ lesions by region, mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), maximum SUV (SUVmax), PSMA+ tumor volume, and tumor load (PSMA+ tumor volume × SUVmean). Parameters were extracted from the whole body and 4 regions. Association between PET parameters and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; primary objective), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and prostate–specific antigen 50 (PSA50) response was assessed. Results: Most pts (92.7%) had PSMA uptake in bone. In both the whole-body and regional analyses, statistically significant associations of PSMA PET parameters to clinical outcomes were observed (whole-body data shown in Table). Higher whole-body SUVmean was associated with improved clinical outcomes; pts in the highest quartile (SUVmean: rPFS, ≥ 10.2; OS, ≥ 9.9) had a median rPFS and OS of 14.1 and 21.4 months, vs 5.8 and 14.5 months for those in the lowest quartile (< 6.0; < 5.7), respectively. Absence of PSMA+ lesions in bone, liver, and lymph node, and lower PSMA+ tumor load, were indicators of good prognosis. Conclusions: Higher SUVmean is strongly associated with improved outcomes with 177Lu-PSMA-617; clinical efficacy for different SUV levels vs the SoC arm is being assessed. Data support use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan to identify pts who will benefit from PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy.[Table: see text]
