RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Avelumab first-line maintenance treatment was approved for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) without progression following platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC), based on the results from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 phase 3 trial. OBJECTIVE: To report the results from AVENANCE, a real-world study of avelumab first-line maintenance treatment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This is a retrospective and prospective, noninterventional study (NCT04822350). Eligible patients with aUC without progression on first-line PBC were enrolled at 82 centers in France between July 2021 and May 2022. The effectiveness population included 595 patients. The median follow-up was 26.3 mo. INTERVENTION: Previous, ongoing, or planned avelumab first-line maintenance treatment. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Overall survival (OS) from avelumab initiation (primary endpoint) and safety were evaluated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: The median age was 73.0 yr, and performance status was 0/1 in 91% of patients and ≥2 in 9.3%. The most common prior first-line chemotherapy regimen was carboplatin plus gemcitabine (61%). At data cutoff (December 7, 2023), the median duration of avelumab treatment was 5.6 mo, 125 patients remained on avelumab, and 55% had received second-line treatment. The median OS from avelumab initiation was 21.3 mo (95% confidence interval [CI], 17.6-24.6), and the median progression-free survival was 5.7 mo (95% CI, 5.2-6.5). In exploratory analyses of this population without disease progression on PBC, the median OS from the start of first-line PBC was 26.5 mo overall, and in subgroups that received second-line enfortumab vedotin (n = 55) or PBC (n = 79), it was 41.5 and 24.5 mo, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Real-world data from AVENANCE confirm the effectiveness and safety of avelumab first-line maintenance treatment in a heterogeneous population, supporting its recommendation for cisplatin-eligible and cisplatin-ineligible patients with aUC who are progression free after first-line PBC. In an exploratory analysis, a small subgroup that received a treatment sequence of first-line PBC without disease progression followed by avelumab first-line maintenance and second-line enfortumab vedotin had a median OS of >3 yr. PATIENT SUMMARY: A French real-world study, called AVENANCE, looked at avelumab maintenance treatment in people with advanced urothelial cancer whose tumor disappeared, shrank, or stopped growing with chemotherapy. Overall, results were consistent with those seen in a previous clinical trial, and on average, people treated with avelumab maintenance lived for 26.5 mo from the start of chemotherapy. Analyses of different groups of people found that survival varied, with people living for an average of 18-42 mo depending on what treatment they received after they finished avelumab treatment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) prolongs radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and taxane therapy. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with taxane-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. METHODS: In this phase 3, randomised, controlled trial conducted at 74 sites across Europe and North America, taxane-naive patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had progressed once on a previous ARPI were randomly allocated (1:1) to open-label, intravenous 177Lu-PSMA-617 at a dosage of 7·4 GBq (200 mCi) ± 10% once every 6 weeks for six cycles, or a change of ARPI (to abiraterone or enzalutamide, administered orally on a continuous basis per product labelling). Crossover from ARPI change to 177Lu-PSMA-617 was allowed after centrally confirmed radiographic progression. The primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival, defined as the time from randomisation until radiographic progression or death, assessed in the intention-to-treat population. Safety was a secondary endpoint. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04689828) and is ongoing. In this primary report of the study, we present primary (first data cutoff) and updated (third data cutoff) analyses of radiographic progression-free survival; all other data are based on the third data cutoff. FINDINGS: Overall, of the 585 patients screened, 468 met all eligibility criteria and were randomly allocated between June 15, 2021 and Oct 7, 2022 to receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 (234 [50%] patients) or ARPI change (234 [50%]). Baseline characteristics were mostly similar between groups; median number of 177Lu-PSMA-617 cycles was 6·0 (IQR 4·0-6·0). Of patients assigned to ARPI change, 134 (57%) crossed over to receive 177Lu-PSMA-617. In the primary analysis (median time from randomisation to first data cutoff 7·26 months [IQR 3·38-10·55]), the median radiographic progression-free survival was 9·30 months (95% CI 6·77-not estimable) in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 group versus 5·55 months (4·04-5·95) in the ARPI change group (hazard ratio [HR] 0·41 [95% CI 0·29-0·56]; p<0·0001). In the updated analysis at time of the third data cutoff (median time from randomisation to third data cutoff 24·11 months [IQR 20·24-27·40]), median radiographic progression-free survival was 11·60 months (95% CI 9·30-14·19) in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 group versus 5·59 months (4·21-5·95) in the ARPI change group (HR 0·49 [95% CI 0·39-0·61]). The incidence of grade 3-5 adverse events was lower in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 group (at least one event in 81 [36%] of 227 patients; four [2%] grade 5 [none treatment related]) than the ARPI change group (112 [48%] of 232; five [2%] grade 5 [one treatment related]). INTERPRETATION: 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged radiographic progression-free survival relative to ARPI change, with a favourable safety profile. For patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who are being considered for a change of ARPI after progression on a previous ARPI, 177Lu-PSMA-617 may be an effective treatment alternative.

RESUMEN

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.GETUG-13 established that switching patients with poor-prognosis nonseminomatous germ-cell tumors with an unfavorable marker decline to intensified chemotherapy resulted in improved outcomes. Here, we report the GETUG-13 long-term efficacy and toxicity. Two hundred and sixty-three patients with International Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group poor prognosis received one cycle of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP): 51 with a favorable tumor marker decline continued with three cycles of BEP (Fav-BEP) and 203 with an unfavorable decline were randomly treated with three BEP (Unfav-BEP) cycles or a dose-dense regimen (Unfav-dose-dense; two cycles of paclitaxel-BEP-oxaliplatin + two cycles of cisplatin, ifosfamide, and bleomycin). The median follow-up was 7.1 years (range, 0.3-13.3). Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 58.9% in the Unfav-dose-dense arm and 46.7% in the Unfav-BEP arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.65 [95% CI, 0.44 to 0.97]; P = .036). Five-year overall survival rates were 70.9% and 61.3% (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.46 to 1.20]; P = .22). Side effects evolved favorably, with only three patients in the Unfav-dose-dense arm reporting grade 3 motor neurotoxicity at 1 year and no reported toxicity over grade 1 after year 2. Salvage high-dose chemotherapy plus a stem-cell transplant was used in 8% in the Unfav-dose-dense arm and 17% in the Unfav-BEP arm (P = .035). Long-term outcomes suggest a sustained benefit of intensified chemotherapy in terms of PFS and numerically better survival, with a minimal toxicity and reduced use of salvage high-dose chemotherapy plus stem-cell transplant.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Human trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a protein highly expressed in urothelial cancer (UC). Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a Trop-2-directed antibody drug conjugate with a hydrolysable linker and a potent SN-38 payload. This study explored Trop-2 expression in tumors treated with SG in cohorts 1 to 3 (C1-3) from the TROPHY-U-01 study and evaluated whether efficacy was associated with Trop-2 expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS: TROPHY-U-01 (NCT03547973) is an open-label phase II study that assessed the efficacy and safety of SG (alone or in combinations) in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic UC (mUC). Archival tumor samples collected at enrollment for C1-3 were analyzed for Trop-2 membrane expression by considering histological scores (H-scores; scale 0-300) and the percentage of membrane positive tumor cells at low magnification (4×). The association of Trop-2 with clinical endpoints [objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS)] was evaluated. RESULTS: In C1-3, tissue was collected from 158 (82%) of 192 treated patients, and 146 (76%) had evaluable Trop-2 data. Trop-2 was highly expressed in tumor samples. The median [interquartile range (IQR)] Trop-2 H-score was 215 (180-246), and the median (IQR) percentage of membrane positive tumor cells was 91% (80-98). Trop-2 expression at any level was observed in 98% of patients. Furthermore, ORR, PFS, and OS benefits were observed across all Trop-2 expression levels. CONCLUSIONS: Trop-2 protein is highly expressed in UC, as confirmed by examining tumors from patients enrolled in the TROPHY-U-01 trial. The results indicate that SG demonstrates efficacy in mUC across Trop-2 expression levels.

RESUMEN

Background: Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) represent a rare yet the most prevalent malignancy among young men. Bone metastases (BMs) are exceedingly uncommon in this neoplasm, and available data regarding the initial disease presentation, survival outcomes, and prognostic significance of BMs are limited. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 NSGCT patients with BMs treated between 2001 and 2021 in our tertiary care center. The cohort was stratified into synchronous (n = 29) and metachronous (n = 11) groups based on the presence of BM at diagnosis or only at relapse, respectively. We assessed overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease presentation, and treatments. Results: After a median follow-up of 93 months, the 5-year PFS and OS rates were 37.6% and 53.9% in the synchronous group and 18.2% and 36.4% in the metachronous group, respectively. At the initial diagnosis, most patients were classified into the IGCCCG poor prognostic group (n = 34, 85%). BMs were mostly asymptomatic (n = 23, 57.5%), involved the spine (n = 37, 92.5%), and could become visible only after disease response (n = 4, 10%). A pathological examination of resected bone lesions after first-line treatment revealed necrosis (n = 5, 71.4%), teratoma, or seminoma (both n = 1, 14.3%). At first relapse, eight patients in the synchronous group did not experience bone recurrence, while eight patients experienced recurrence at the initial affected bone site. Conclusions: In NSGCT patients, BMs often present asymptomatically and may initially be unnoticed. However, these patients may have a poorer prognosis compared to those in the IGCCCG poor prognostic group. Further studies including control groups are needed to assess the independent prognostic significance of BMs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Both cabazitaxel and lutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen (Lu-PSMA) improve survival in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor and docetaxel, but there are limited data regarding Lu-PSMA activity after cabazitaxel. OBJECTIVE: To assess the activity of Lu-PSMA and determinants of outcomes after cabazitaxel in mCRPC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of consecutive mCRPC patients from eight European centers treated with Lu-PSMA after cabazitaxel. INTERVENTION: Lu-PSMA every 6-8 wk at a dose of 6-7.6 GBq. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). The secondary endpoints included time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression (TTPSA), overall survival (OS), PSA decline, objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit, and safety. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Of 126 patients, 68% had International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 4-5 disease, 21% had visceral metastases, and 7% had lymph node disease only. DNA damage repair (DDR) alterations were detected in 11/50 (22%) patients with available testing. Patients received a median number of 3 Lu-PSMA cycles (interquartile range 2-4). With a median follow-up of 12.0 mo, the median rPFS was 4.4 mo (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.2-5.4), TTPSA 3.5 mo (95% CI 3.0-4.6), and OS 8.9 mo (95% CI 6.5-12.7). The ORR was 35%, and 55 patients (44%) experienced a PSA decline of ≥50%. The time to castration resistance of <12 mo was associated with shorter rPFS (p = 0.01). A similar trend was observed for ISUP grade 4-5 (p = 0.08), and baseline positron-emission tomography parameters including PSMA mean standardized uptake value (SUV) and maximum SUV (respectively, p = 0.06 and 0.05). The duration of previous cabazitaxel or DDR status did not impact outcomes. Patients experiencing a PSA decline of ≥ 50% on therapy demonstrated longer rPFS, TTPSA, and OS (all p < 0.0001). Limitations include retrospective data collection and investigator-based rPFS assessment. CONCLUSIONS: Lu-PSMA demonstrated a substantial PSA decline but limited rPFS after cabazitaxel in a real-life setting. Adverse baseline characteristics, baseline positron-emission tomography parameters, and quality of PSA response may help identify patients less likely to benefit from Lu-PSMA. PATIENT SUMMARY: Lutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen (Lu-PSMA) improved outcomes in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, but there are limited data about its activity after cabazitaxel, a chemotherapy that is also the standard of care in this setting. We conducted a study across eight European centers and showed substantial responses on Lu-PSMA after cabazitaxel, although activity was short lived in a heavily pretreated population. Our findings prompt for real-life evaluation of Lu-PSMA in earlier settings to define the best therapeutic sequence.

RESUMEN

WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?: Sacituzumab govitecan (brand name: TRODELVY®) is a new treatment being studied for people with a type of bladder cancer, called urothelial cancer, that has progressed to a locally advanced or metastatic stage. Locally advanced and metastatic urothelial cancer are usually treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Metastatic urothelial cancer is also treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. There are few treatment options for people whose cancer gets worse after receiving these treatments. Sacituzumab govitecan is a suitable treatment option for most people with urothelial cancer because it aims to deliver an anti-cancer drug directly to the cancer in an attempt to limit the potential harmful side effects on healthy cells. This is a summary of a clinical study called TROPHY-U-01, focusing on the first group of participants, referred to as Cohort 1. All participants in Cohort 1 received sacituzumab govitecan. WHAT ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS?: All participants received previous treatments for their metastatic urothelial cancer, including a platinum-based chemotherapy and a checkpoint inhibitor. The tumor in 31 of 113 participants became significantly smaller or could not be seen on scans after sacituzumab govitecan treatment; an effect that lasted for a median of 7.2 months. Half of the participants were still alive 5.4 months after starting treatment, without their tumor getting bigger or spreading further. Half of them were still alive 10.9 months after starting treatment regardless of tumor size changes. Most participants experienced side effects. These side effects included lower levels of certain types of blood cells, sometimes with a fever, and loose or watery stools (diarrhea). Side effects led 7 of 113 participants to stop taking sacituzumab govitecan. WHAT WERE THE MAIN CONCLUSIONS REPORTED BY THE RESEARCHERS?: The study showed that sacituzumab govitecan had significant anti-cancer activity. Though most participants who received sacituzumab govitecan experienced side effects, these did not usually stop participants from continuing sacituzumab govitecan. Doctors can help control these side effects using treatment guidelines, but these side effects can be serious.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03547973 (ClinicalTrials.gov) (TROPHY-U-1).

RESUMEN

Primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) is defined as a tumor process arising within the urethra, with no history of other urinary tract localization or synchronous tumor of the urinary tract. The most common histological types are urothelial carcinoma (UC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC). In men, UC predominates, while AC is rare. In women, AC affects around one in two patients, while EC and UC are equally divided between the remaining cases. Diagnosis is often delayed, and requires endoscopic examination with biopsies. MRI is the gold standard for local staging. FDG-PET scan can help in cases of doubt about regional or distant extension. The prognosis remains unfavorable despite aggressive surgical treatment. Multimodal management combining surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy appears to improve prognosis in severe forms.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors radically changed the treatment paradigm for breast cancer. Similar to estrogen receptor in breast cancer, androgen receptor signaling activates cyclin D-CDK4/6, driving proliferation and resistance to hormonal manipulation in prostate cancer. This study was designed to detect signals of clinical activity for abemaciclib in treatment-refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible patients had progressive mCRPC, measurable disease, and previously received ≥1 novel hormonal agent(s) and 2 lines of taxane chemotherapy. Abemaciclib 200 mg twice daily was administered on a continuous dosing schedule. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) without concurrent bone progression. This study was designed to detect a minimum ORR of 12.5%. RESULTS: At trial entry, 40 (90.9%) of 44 patients had objective radiographic disease progression, 4 (9.1%) had prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-only progression, and 20 (46.5%) had visceral metastases (of these, 60% had liver metastases). Efficacy analyses are as follows: ORR without concurrent bone progression: 6.8%; disease control rate: 45.5%; median time to PSA progression: 6.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.2-NA]; median radiographic PFS; 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.9-3.7); and median OS, 8.4 months (95% CI, 5.6-12.7). Most frequent grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were neutropenia (25.0%), anemia, and fatigue (11.4% each). No grade 4 or 5 AEs were related to abemaciclib. CONCLUSIONS: Abemaciclib monotherapy was well tolerated and showed clinical activity in this heavily pretreated population, nearly half with visceral metastases. This study is considered preliminary proof-of-concept and designates CDK4/6 as a valid therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: No treatment has surpassed platinum-based chemotherapy in improving overall survival in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. METHODS: We conducted a phase 3, global, open-label, randomized trial to compare the efficacy and safety of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab with the efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive 3-week cycles of enfortumab vedotin (at a dose of 1.25 mg per kilogram of body weight intravenously on days 1 and 8) and pembrolizumab (at a dose of 200 mg intravenously on day 1) (enfortumab vedotin-pembrolizumab group) or gemcitabine and either cisplatin or carboplatin (determined on the basis of eligibility to receive cisplatin) (chemotherapy group). The primary end points were progression-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review and overall survival. RESULTS: A total of 886 patients underwent randomization: 442 to the enfortumab vedotin-pembrolizumab group and 444 to the chemotherapy group. As of August 8, 2023, the median duration of follow-up for survival was 17.2 months. Progression-free survival was longer in the enfortumab vedotin-pembrolizumab group than in the chemotherapy group (median, 12.5 months vs. 6.3 months; hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38 to 0.54; P<0.001), as was overall survival (median, 31.5 months vs. 16.1 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.58; P<0.001). The median number of cycles was 12 (range, 1 to 46) in the enfortumab vedotin-pembrolizumab group and 6 (range, 1 to 6) in the chemotherapy group. Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred in 55.9% of the patients in the enfortumab vedotin-pembrolizumab group and in 69.5% of those in the chemotherapy group. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab resulted in significantly better outcomes than chemotherapy in patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, with a safety profile consistent with that in previous reports.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is regulated by steroid hormones, even in castration-resistant disease. ODM-208, a novel inhibitor of cytochrome P450 11A1 (which catalyzes the first step of steroid-hormone biosynthesis), was investigated in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). METHODS: CYPIDES is a first-in-human phase 1 (3 + 3 design) and phase 2 study. We administered ODM-208 twice daily with glucocorticoid/mineralocorticoid replacement and ongoing androgen deprivation therapy to adults with previously treated mCRPC, regardless of androgen receptor gene (AR) ligand-binding domain mutations (phase 1) and with activating AR ligand-binding domain mutations (ARmut; phase 2). Safety, pharmacokinetics, steroid-hormone pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy were the key outcomes. RESULTS: Ninety-two patients received one or more doses of ODM-208: 47 in phase 1 (20 [42.6%] with ARmut) and 45 in phase 2 (all ARmut). A dose of ODM-208 of 5 mg twice a day with dexamethasone 1 mg/fludrocortisone 0.1 mg provided a balance between decreased steroidogenesis and toxicity. Treatment-related adrenal insufficiency was the most common toxicity in phase 1 (n=17, 36.2%; necessitating ODM-208 discontinuation in one patient); this toxicity occurred in six patients (13.3%) at 5 mg twice a day in phase 2. Median circulating testosterone levels declined from 3.0 ng/dl (interquartile range, 1.3 to 6.2 ng/dl) at baseline to undetectable levels within the first week of ODM-208 5 mg twice a day treatment in 46 of 53 (87%) patients. A decrease in prostate-specific antigen levels of 50% or more occurred in 14 of 19 (73.7%) patients with ARmut and 2 of 23 (8.7%) patients with AR wild type in phase 1 and in 24 of 45 (53.3%) patients with ARmut in phase 2. CONCLUSIONS: ODM-208 potently inhibited steroid-hormone biosynthesis with the expected toxicity of adrenal insufficiency. Evidence of antitumor activity was observed in this heavily pretreated mCRPC population, especially in those with ARmut. (Funded by Orion Pharma; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03436485.)

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common malignancy in men aged 15-40 years, with increasing incidence worldwide. About 33 ~ 50% of the patients present with metastatic disease at diagnosis. TGCT survivors experience short- and long-term sequelae, including cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Physical activity (PA) has established effects on reducing CRF and other sequelae and improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, its impact on TGCT survivors has so far received little attention. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including cognition and metabolism, and may mediate the effects of PA on CRF and other sequelae, but this has not been investigated in randomized controlled trials. METHODS: This national, multicentre, phase-III trial will evaluate the impact of a one-year supervised PA program on CRF and other short- and long-term sequelae in metastatic TGCT patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy combined with etoposide+/-bleomycin. It will also investigate potential mediating effects of the gut microbiota and its metabolites involved in the gut-brain axis on the relationship between PA and CRF and other sequelae. A total of 236 men ≥ 18 years of age with metastatic TGCT (seminoma and non-seminoma) will be enrolled before starting first-line chemotherapy in several French hospitals. The primary (CRF) and secondary (cognitive/psychological/metabolic sequelae, HRQoL, etc.) outcomes and gut microbiota and relevant metabolites will be assessed at inclusion, during and at the end of the one-year intervention, and annually until 10 years since inclusion to assess long-term sequelae, more specifically CRF, cardiovascular toxicities, and second primary cancer occurrence in this population. DISCUSSION: This trial will provide comprehensive and novel insights into the effects of a long-term supervised PA program on CRF and other sequelae in metastatic TGCT patients receiving first-line chemotherapy. It will also contribute to understanding the potential role of the gut microbiota and its metabolites in mediating the effects of PA on these outcomes. The findings of this study will help the development of effective PA interventions to improve the health of TGCT survivors and may have implications for other cancer populations as well. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05588700) on 20 Oct. 2022.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Pembrolizumab is standard therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who progress after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy; however, only approximately 21% of patients respond. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a trophoblast cell surface antigen-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate with US Food and Drug Administration-accelerated approval to treat patients with locally advanced or mUC who previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). Here, we report the primary analysis of TROPHY-U-01 cohort 3. METHODS: TROPHY-U-01 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03547973) is a multicohort, open-label phase II study. Patients were CPI-naïve and had mUC progression after platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting or ≤12 months in the (neo)adjuvant setting. Patients received 10 mg/kg of SG once on days 1 and 8 and 200 mg of pembrolizumab once on day 1 of 21-day cycles. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) per central review. Secondary end points included clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of response (DOR) and progression-free survival (PFS) per central review, and safety. RESULTS: Cohort 3 included 41 patients (median age 67 years; 83% male; 78% visceral metastases [29% liver]). With a median follow-up of 14.8 months, the ORR was 41% (95% CI, 26.3 to 57.9; 20% complete response rate), CBR was 46% (95% CI, 30.7 to 62.6), median DOR was 11.1 months (95% CI, 4.8 to not estimable [NE]), and median PFS was 5.3 months (95% CI, 3.4 to 10.2). The median overall survival was 12.7 months (range, 10.7-NE). Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 61% of patients; most common were neutropenia (37%), leukopenia (20%), and diarrhea (20%). CONCLUSION: SG plus pembrolizumab demonstrated a high response rate with an overall manageable toxicity profile in patients with mUC who progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. No new safety signals were detected. These data support further evaluation of SG plus CPI in mUC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The optimal perioperative chemotherapy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer is not defined. The VESPER (French Genito-Urinary Tumor Group and French Association of Urology V05) trial reported improved 3-year progression-free survival with dose-dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin (dd-MVAC) versus gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy, but not in the overall perioperative setting. In this Article, we report on the secondary endpoints of overall survival and time to death due to bladder cancer at 5-year follow-up. METHODS: VESPER was an open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial done at 28 university hospitals or comprehensive cancer centres in France, in which adults (age ≤18 years and ≤80 years) with primary bladder cancer and histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma were randomly allocated (1:1; block size four) to treatment with dd-MVAC (every 2 weeks for a total of six cycles) or GC (every 3 weeks for a total of four cycles). Overall survival and time to death due to bladder cancer (presented as 5-year cumulative incidence of death due to bladder cancer) was analysed by intention to treat (ITT) in all randomly assigned patients. Overall survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method with the treatment groups compared with log-rank test stratified for mode of administration of chemotherapy (neoadjuvant or adjuvant) and lymph node involvement. Time to death due to bladder cancer was analysed with an Aalen model for competing risks and a Fine and Gray regression model stratified for the same two covariates. Results were presented for the total perioperative population and for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant subgroups. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01812369, and is complete. FINDINGS: From Feb 25, 2013, to March 1, 2018, 500 patients were randomly assigned, of whom 493 were included in the final ITT population (245 [50%] in the GC group and 248 [50%] in the dd-MVAC group; 408 [83%] male and 85 [17%] female). 437 (89%) patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Median follow-up was 5·3 years (IQR 5·1-5·4); 190 deaths at the 5-year cutoff were reported. In the perioperative setting (total ITT population), we found no evidence of association of overall survival at 5 years with dd-MVAC treatment versus GC treatment (64% [95% CI 58-70] vs 56% [50-63], stratified hazard ratio [HRstrat] 0·79 [95% CI 0·59-1·05]). Time to death due to bladder cancer was increased in the dd-MVAC group compared with in the GC group (5-year cumulative incidence of death: 27% [95% CI 21-32] vs 40% [34-46], HRstrat 0·61 [95% CI 0·45-0·84]). In the neoadjuvant subgroup, overall survival at 5 years was improved in the dd-MVAC group versus the GC group (66% [95% CI 60-73] vs 57% [50-64], HR 0·71 [95% CI 0·52-0·97]), as was time to death due to bladder cancer (5-year cumulative incidence: 24% [18-30] vs 38% [32-45], HR 0·55 [0·39-0·78]). In the adjuvant subgroup, the results were not conclusive due to the small sample size. Bladder cancer progression was the cause of death for 157 (83%) of the 190 deaths; other causes of death included cardiovascular events (eight [4%] deaths), deaths related to chemotherapy toxicity (four [2%]), and secondary cancers (four [2%]). INTERPRETATION: Our results on overall survival at 5 years were in accordance with the primary endpoint analysis (3-year progression-free survival). We found no evidence of improved overall survival with dd-MVAC over GC in the perioperative setting, but the data support the use of six cycles of dd-MVAC over four cycles of GC in the neoadjuvant setting. These results should impact practice and future trials of immunotherapy in bladder cancer. FUNDING: French National Cancer Institute.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The MORPHEUS platform was designed to identify early efficacy signals and evaluate the safety of novel immunotherapy combinations across cancer types. The phase Ib/II MORPHEUS-UC trial (NCT03869190) is evaluating atezolizumab plus magrolimab, niraparib, or tocilizumab in platinum-refractory locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). Additional treatment combinations were evaluated and will be reported separately. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients had locally advanced or mUC that progressed during or following treatment with a platinum-containing regimen. The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Key secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Safety and exploratory biomarker analyses were also conducted. RESULTS: Seventy-six patients were randomized to receive either atezolizumab plus magrolimab (n = 16), atezolizumab plus niraparib (n = 15), atezolizumab plus tocilizumab (n = 15), or atezolizumab monotherapy (control; n = 30). No additive benefit in ORR, PFS, or OS was seen in the treatment arms versus the control. The best confirmed ORR was 26.7% with atezolizumab plus magrolimab, 6.7% with atezolizumab plus niraparib, 20.0% with atezolizumab plus tocilizumab, and 27.6% with atezolizumab monotherapy. Overall, the treatment combinations were tolerable, and adverse events were consistent with each agent's known safety profile. Trends were observed for shrinkage of programmed death-ligand 1-positive tumors (atezolizumab, atezolizumab plus magrolimab, atezolizumab plus tocilizumab), inflamed tumors, or tumors with high mutational burden (atezolizumab), and immune excluded tumors (atezolizumab plus magrolimab). CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated regimens in MORPHEUS-UC were tolerable. However, response rates for the combinations did not meet the criteria for further development in platinum-experienced locally advanced or mUC.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and early oncologic outcomes after post-chemotherapy robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RARPLND) for metastatic germ cell tumors (mGCT). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients from four tertiary centers who underwent PC-RARPLND for mGCT, from 2011 to 2021. Previous treatment of mGCT, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and early oncologic outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Overall, 66 patients were included. The majority of patients had non-seminoma mTGCT (89%). Median size of retroperitoneal lymph node (RLN) before surgery was 26 mm. Templates of PC-RARPLND were left modified, right modified, and full bilateral in 56%, 27%, and 14%, respectively. Median estimated blood loss and length of stay were 50 mL [50-150] and 2 [1-3] days. Four patients (6.1%) had a vascular injury, only one with significant blood loss and conversion to open surgery (OS). Two other patients had a conversion to OS for difficulty of dissection. No patient had transfusion, most frequent complications were ileus (10.6%) and symptomatic lymphorrea (7.6%) and no complications grade IIIb or more occurred. With a median follow-up of 16 months, two patients had a relapse, all outside of the surgical template (one in the retrocrural space with reascending markers, one in lungs). CONCLUSION: PC-RARPLND is a challenging surgery. In expert centers and for selected patients, it seemed safe and feasible, with a low morbidity. Further prospective evaluation of this procedure and long-term oncologic results are needed.

RESUMEN

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), whose high expression has been demonstrated in metastatic aggressive prostate adenocarcinoma, is also highly expressed in the neovessels of various solid tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In the VISION phase III clinical trial, PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (PRLT) with lutetium 177 demonstrated a 4-month overall survival OS benefit compared to the best standard of care in heavily pretreated metastatic prostate cancer. Despite the improvement in the management of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) with antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and immunotherapy, there is still a need for new treatments for patients who progress despite these drugs. In this study, we discuss the rationale of PRLT applied to the treavtment of mccRCC.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a well-known prognostic parameter in men with prostate cancer. The treatment of men with very high PSA values and apparently no detectable metastases is not fully established. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ancillary analysis from the GETUG 12 phase 3 trial. Patients with non-metastatic high-risk prostate cancer by bone and computerized tomography (CT) scan were randomly assigned to receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel plus estramustine or ADT alone. Relapse-free survival (RFS), clinical RFS, metastases-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method for different levels of PSA (50 ng/mL, 75 ng/mL, and 100 ng/mL). The relationship between PSA and outcomes was studied using residual-based approaches and spline functions. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 12 years (range: 0-15.3). Baseline PSA (<50 ng/mL, n = 328; ≥50ng/mL, n = 85) was associated with improved RFS (P = .0005), cRFS (P = .0024), and MFS (P = .0068). The 12-year RFS rate was 46.33% (CI 40.59-51.86), 33.59% (CI 22.55-44.97), and 11.76% (1.96-31.20) in men with PSA values <50 ng/mL (n = 328), 50-100 ng/mL (n = 68), and ≥100 ng/mL (n = 17), respectively. Exploratory analyses revealed no deviation from the linear relationship assumption between PSA and the log hazard of events. CONCLUSIONS: Men with apparently localized prostate cancer and a high baseline PSA value have a reasonable chance of being long-term disease-free when treated with curative intent combining systemic and local therapy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) and collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) are rare entities with a poor outcome. First-line metastatic treatment is based on gemcitabine + platinum chemotherapy (GC) regimen but retrospective data suggest enhanced anti-tumour activity with the addition of bevacizumab. Therefore, we performed a prospective assessment of the safety and efficacy of GC + bevacizumab in metastatic RMC/CDC. METHODS: We conducted a phase 2 open-label trial in 18 centres in France in patients with metastatic RMC/CDC and no prior systemic treatment. Patients received bevacizumab plus GC up to 6 cycles followed, for non-progressive disease, by maintenance therapy with bevacizumab until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The co-primary end-points were objective response rates (ORRs) and progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (ORR-6; PFS-6). PFS, overall survival (OS) and safety were secondary end-points. At interim analysis, the trial was closed due to toxicity and lack of efficacy. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2019, 34 of the 41 planned patients have been enroled. After a median follow-up of 25 months, ORR-6 and PFS-6 were 29.4% and 47.1%, respectively. Median OS was 11.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.6-24.2). Seven patients (20.6%) discontinued bevacizumab because of toxicities (hypertension, proteinuria, colonic perforation). Grade 3-4 toxicities were reported in 82% patients, the most common being haematologic toxicities and hypertension. Two patients experienced grade 5 toxicity (subdural haematoma related to bevacizumab and encephalopathy of unknown origin). CONCLUSION: Our study showed no benefit for bevacizumab added to chemotherapy in metastatic RMC and CDC with higher than expected toxicity. Consequently, GC regimen remains a therapeutic option for RMC/CDC patients.

RESUMEN

Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection is the optimal treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. In recent years, the VESPER trial showed a statistically significant higher progression-free survival with dd-MVAC (dose dense methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin) compared to GC (gemcitabine and cisplatin). In the present report, we refine the characterization and outcome of patients whose cystectomy specimens were pathologically free of cancer (pathological complete response, pCR). We confirm that these patients portend a better outcome as compared to patients with invasive disease (≥pT1N0) at cystectomy. Nested variant and lymphovascular invasion were identified as adverse predictive factors of pCR. Progression-free survival probability three years after pCR on cystectomy was about 85%, regardless of the NAC regimen. A lower creatinine clearance and the delivery of less than four cycles were associated with a higher risk of relapse. Predicting the efficacy of NAC remains a major challenge. The planned analysis of molecular subtypes in the VESPER trial could help predict which patients may achieve complete response and better outcome.
