Due to its mechanism of action, AA requires co-administration with an oral corticosteroid. Previous randomized control trials (RCTs) have shown increased cardiac risk with AA+ androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We compiled available evidence regarding the cardiotoxicity of AA via meta-analysis, focusing on mechanistically related side-effects and differences based on disease indication and trial design. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for phase II and III RTCs of AA+ADT vs ADT for patients with prostate cancer published as of 8/11/2020. Primary outcomes were hypokalemia and fluid retention, and secondary outcomes were cardiac disorders and hypertension. We performed a meta-analysis comparing intervention and control, stratifying according to disease state (HSPC, pre-chemo mCRPC, vs post-chemo mCRPC) and trial design (steroids in the control arm). RESULTS: Among 2739 search results, 6 studies of 5,901 patients with HSPC (including mHSPC and advanced localized disease) or mCRPC were included. Treatment groups received AA 1000mg, ADT, and steroid, and controls received ADT, placebo, +/- steroid. Patients receiving AA were more likely to experience hypokalemia (17.3% vs 6.0%, p <0.001), fluid retention (24.1% vs 17.6%, p <0.001), hypertension (25.3% vs 15.1%, p <0.001), and cardiac events (25.4% vs 15.9%, p=0.002). The apparent effect of AA on these outcomes was significantly modified on the basis of whether patients in the control arm received steroid with placebo (hypokalemia: p <0.001, hypertension: p=0.01, and cardiac disorders: p <0.001) and on the basis of disease state/indication (hypokalemia: p <0.001, hypertension: p=0.03, and cardiac disorders: p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of cardiovascular effects attributable to AA vary significantly by trial design and disease indication; studies in which steroids were not given to the control group demonstrate an increased attributable risk while patients receiving AA earlier in the disease process appear to have a greater magnitude of risk of several adverse events, including hypokalemia and hypertension. These hypothesis-generating data may be helpful in understanding AA toxicity and offering individualized counseling.
