Abstract
ObjectivesEstablish basal biomarkers in patients with bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with Ra-223 that predicted a better overall survival (OS), assess hematology toxicity and treatment response. Materials and methodsRetrospective multicenter study in 151 patients with mCRPC between 2013 and 2020. OS was assessed according to basal hemoglobin (Hb), PSA, alkaline phosphatase (AP), WHO pain scale, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), number of metastatic lesions on bone scan (BS), use of protective bone agents and received. Hematological toxicities were evaluated. Treatment response was based on changes in FA and pain. ResultsMedian OS was 24months (95%CI: 16.5-31). OS in 70% of patients who received complete Ra-223 treatment (5-6 doses) was 34.9m vs. 5.8m in patients with incomplete treatment (1-4 doses). OS was longer in patients with lower PSA and AP, Hb>13g/dL, lesser bone metastasis on GO and ECOG 0-1. 52/151 patients (34%) died during follow-up. Nearly 70% of patients experienced decrease in pain and 66% reduction on AP. Half of patients had mild hematological adverse effects and only 5% had severe. ConclusionsmCRPC patients treated with Ra-223 who had Hb>13g/mL, ECOG 0-1, low AP, PSA<20ng/ml and lesser bone metastasis on BS shown a better OS with adequate safety profile.
