    Ziel/Aim: In PSMAfore (NCT04689828), [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) prolonged rPFS versus androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) change in taxane-naive patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We now present the time to symptomatic skeletal events (SSE) and time to worsening (TTW) in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and pain at the third interim analysis (data cutoff, 27 Feb 2024).

    Methodik/Methods: Eligible patients had mCRPC, were candidates for ARPI change after one progression on previous ARPI, and had≥1 PSMA-positive and no exclusionary PSMA-negative metastatic lesions by [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Patients were randomized 1:1 to open-label 177Lu-PSMA-617 (7.4 GBq q6w; 6 cycles) or ARPI change (abiraterone/enzalutamide). Patients with confirmed radiographic progression on ARPI change could cross over to 177Lu-PSMA-617. The primary endpoint was rPFS. Other endpoints included time to SSE and TTW in self-reported HRQoL (FACT-P, EQ-5D-5L; secondary) and pain (BPI-SF; exploratory).

    Ergebnisse/Results: In total, 468 patients (234/arm) were randomized. Median duration of exposure was 8.4 months for 177Lu-PSMA-617 and 6.5 months for ARPI change. 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged time to SSE (27 [11.5%] vs 63 [26.9%]) and fewer bone fractures were reported versus ARPI change (4 [1.7%] vs 13 [5.6%]). 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged TTW in FACT-P (7,46 [6.08, 8.54]vs 4.27 [3.45, 4.50]), EQ-5D-5L (6,28 [4.70, 7.86] vs 3.88 [3.25, 4.44]) and BPI-SF (5.13 [4.11, 6.14] vs 3.65 [3.05, 4.34]) versus ARPI change. Incidences of grade≥3 adverse events (AEs), serious AEs and AEs leading to discontinuation for 177Lu-PSMA-617 and ARPI change were 36% and 48%, 20% and 32%, and 5.7% and 5.2%, respectively.

    Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusion: 177Lu-PSMA-617 clinically meaningfully and significantly prolonged time to SSE and TTW in self-reported HRQoL and pain versus ARPI change in taxane-naive patients with PSMA-positive mCRPC.
