Bone-Modifying Agents in Patients With High-Risk Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Treated With Abiraterone Acetate
Abstract
IMPORTANCE: The association between the use of bone-modifying agents (BMAs) and the outcomes among patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between BMA use and the outcomes of patients with mCSPC receiving AAP.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this cohort study, a post hoc analysis of individual participant data from the LATITUDE trial was performed. The LATITUDE trial, a phase 3 randomized clinical trial, aimed to assess the efficacy of AAP and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) vs dual-placebo and ADT in patients with high-risk mCSPC (data cutoff, August 15, 2018). Eligible patients had newly diagnosed prostate cancer with metastases and at least 2 of 3 high-risk factors (Gleason score ≥8, presence of ≥3 lesions on bone scan, or presence of measurable visceral metastasis). The trial was conducted at 235 sites in 34 countries. Data for the present study were evaluated from July 18 to September 23, 2023.
EXPOSURES: Use of BMAs was defined as the administration of bisphosphonates and denosumab within 90 days before and after randomization.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcomes were time to skeletal-related events (SREs) and overall survival (OS). An SRE was defined as a clinical or pathological fracture, spinal cord compression, palliative radiation to bone, or surgery involving bone. Differences in these outcomes were…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 1,199 participants or records.
