Background: The current standard of care for the systemic treatment of metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) includes androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with either docetaxel or advanced androgen blockage (AAB).

Triplet therapy was associated with longer OS when compared to docetaxel (48-month Delta RMST: 2.6; 95 %CI: 1.8,3.4; p < 0.001) but yielded similar OS when compared to AAB (48-month Delta RMST: -0.8; 95 % CI: -1.8, 0.2; p = 0.1). Similarly, triplet therapy was associated with longer PFS when compared to docetaxel (48-month Delta RMST: 10.3; 95 %CI: 9.0,11.6; p < 0.001) but yielded similar PFS when compared to AAB (48-month Delta RMST: 1.1; 95 %CI: -0.2,2.3; p = 0.1).Conclusions: Overall, we found no OS nor PFS benefit for patients with mHSPC treated with triplet therapy compared to AAB alone, while an advantage emerged for both AAB or triplet therapy relative to docetaxel.

Abstract

Background: The current standard of care for the systemic treatment of metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) includes androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with either docetaxel or advanced androgen blockage (AAB). Recently, two studies have tested the combination of ADT, docetaxel and AAB (triplet therapy) relative to docetaxel and ADT in this setting. Herein, we aimed to compare the effect on survival outcomes of available systemic treatments for mHSPC.Methods: A comprehensive search for all published phase III randomized control trials on first line mHSPC that evaluated AAB (TITAN, ARCHES, STAMPEDE, LATITUDE, ENZAMET) or docetaxel (GETUG-AFU15, CHAARTED, STAMPEDE) or their combination (ARASENS, PEACE-1) was conducted PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to 15/04/2022. We reconstructed survival data from published Kaplan-Meier curves on overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) and meta-analyzed docetaxel versus AAB versus triplet therapy (grouping together abiraterone/darolutamide and docetaxel). The outcomes of interest were assessed using differences in restricted mean survival time (Delta RMST) at different time points and Cox regression.Results: Ten trials were included involving 5,544 patients for assessing OS and 5,725 for PFS. Triplet therapy was associated with longer OS when compared to docetaxel (48-month Delta RMST: 2.6; 95 %CI: 1.8,3.4; p < 0.001) but yielded similar OS when compared to AAB (48-month Delta RMST: -0.8; 95 % CI: -1.8, 0.2; p = 0.1). Similarly, triplet therapy was associated with longer PFS when compared to docetaxel (48-month Delta RMST: 10.3; 95 %CI: 9.0,11.6; p < 0.001) but yielded similar PFS when compared to AAB (48-month Delta RMST: 1.1; 95 %CI: -0.2,2.3; p = 0.1).Conclusions: Overall, we found no OS nor PFS benefit for patients with mHSPC treated with triplet therapy compared to AAB alone, while an advantage emerged for both AAB or triplet therapy relative to docetaxel.
