In recent years, significant changes have occurred in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) management, where docetaxel and new androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) have been shown to improve overall survival (OS) compared to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Recent data could once again radically change mHSPC treatment. PEACE-1 and ARASENS trials demonstrated a survival benefit of the addition of ARPI to docetaxel and ADT combination (triplet therapy), compared to docetaxel and ADT. With multiple options to choose from, it is crucial to identify the patients who would benefit most from triplet therapy. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the activity of the triplet therapy versus docetaxel plus ADT in mHSPC. A systematic review of PubMed/Medline, Embase, and the proceedings of major international meetings was performed. Five RCTs fulfilled the inclusion criteria. PEACE-1 and ARASENS studies reported disease-free survival (DFS) and OS. Post hoc analysis of three other trials evaluated the combination of ARPI, docetaxel and ADT. Globally, 2538 patients were included (1270 triplet therapy; 1268 docetaxel + ADT). Triplet therapy was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66-0.83, p < 0.00001). A statistically significant benefit was shown in high-volume mHSPC patients (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.59-0.97, p = 0.03) and in patients with de novo metastatic disease (HR 0.73; 95% CI, 0.64-0.82, p < 0.00001). The addition of ARPI to standard therapy was associated with DFS improvement (HR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.35-0.49, p < 0.00001). This metanalysis shows a significant OS benefit from concomitant administration of ARPI, docetaxel and ADT in high volume and de novo mHSPC.

Abstract

In recent years, significant changes have occurred in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) management, where docetaxel and new androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) have been shown to improve overall survival (OS) compared to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Recent data could once again radically change mHSPC treatment. PEACE-1 and ARASENS trials demonstrated a survival benefit of the addition of ARPI to docetaxel and ADT combination (triplet therapy), compared to docetaxel and ADT. With multiple options to choose from, it is crucial to identify the patients who would benefit most from triplet therapy. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the activity of the triplet therapy versus docetaxel plus ADT in mHSPC. A systematic review of PubMed/Medline, Embase, and the proceedings of major international meetings was performed. Five RCTs fulfilled the inclusion criteria. PEACE-1 and ARASENS studies reported disease-free survival (DFS) and OS. Post hoc analysis of three other trials evaluated the combination of ARPI, docetaxel and ADT. Globally, 2538 patients were included (1270 triplet therapy; 1268 docetaxel + ADT). Triplet therapy was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66-0.83, p < 0.00001). A statistically significant benefit was shown in high-volume mHSPC patients (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.59-0.97, p = 0.03) and in patients with de novo metastatic disease (HR 0.73; 95% CI, 0.64-0.82, p < 0.00001). The addition of ARPI to standard therapy was associated with DFS improvement (HR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.35-0.49, p < 0.00001). This metanalysis shows a significant OS benefit from concomitant administration of ARPI, docetaxel and ADT in high volume and de novo mHSPC.
