Abstract:
5506 Background: In mCSPC, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with chemotherapy or androgen receptor signaling inhibition (ARSI) is the new standard of care. Biomarkers that predict clinical outcomes with these therapies are needed. We hypothesized that CellSearch CTC count, an FDA-cleared biomarker in metastatic castrate resistant PC (mCRPC), may be a valuable biomarker in mCSPC. Methods: In S1216, peripheral blood was drawn with informed consent at registration (baseline), and CTCs were enumerated on the FDA-cleared CellSearch platform (Menarini) per standard manufacturer protocol. CTC counts were analyzed centrally for associations with 2 pre-specified trial intermediate endpoints: 7-month PSA (7mPSA) ≤ 0.2 ng/ml vs. 0.2–4.0 vs. 〉 4.0, (intermediate endpoint for overall survival, OS); and progression-free survival (PFS) 〈 vs. 〉 2 years. Because OS data have not matured, analysis was pooled and equal numbers of samples were analyzed from each treatment arm and outcome measure (7mPSA and PFS) as stipulated by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee. Results: From 2014 to 2017, 523 baseline samples were collected. In the 7mPSA analysis (n = 264), CTCs were detected in 38% of men, with a median of 4 CTCs in those with detectable CTCs. In the PFS analysis (n = 336), CTCs were detected in 37% of men, with a median of 3 CTCs in those with detectable CTCs. Adjusting for disease burden (minimal vs. extensive) and ADT status (already initiated or not) at the time of CTC measurement, men with undetectable CTCs were 6.1-fold more likely to attain 7mPSA ≤ 0.2 (OR 6.1, 95% CI 2.1-17.2, p 〈 0.001) and 3.7-fold more likely to achieve 〉 2 years PFS (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.7-8.1, p 〈 0.001) compared to men with baseline CTCs ≥ 5. Other cutpoints previously validated in mCRPC studies (CTC 〈 5 vs. ≥5 and CTCs 0 vs. ≥1) also strongly discriminated 7mPSA and PFS with statistical significance in this mCSPC cohort. Conclusions: CTC count at the start of treatment for mCSPC was highly prognostic of 7-month PSA response (intermediate endpoint for OS) and of PFS at 2 years. To our knowledge, this is the first such strong evidence from a prospective phase 3 trial of this magnitude. Additional analyses are planned when the trial is fully reported. Baseline CTC count may serve as a valuable prognostic marker to discriminate men likely to respond favorably to hormonal therapies from those who may benefit from early alternate interventions.
