Improving Outcomes for Men with Prostate Cancer.
Lead Research Organisation:
University College London
Abstract
We seek to improve outcomes, reduce side-effects and reduce over-diagnosis and over-treatment in the most common male cancer: prostate cancer.|Prostate cancer is a big problem. It is increasingly common (30,000 new UK cases in 2005), particularly earlier stages of disease. We need to improve outcomes.|In recent years, we have shown that bisphosphonate drugs may make men with metastases live longer, that men live longer if given radiotherapy with hormone therapy (the mainstay of treatment for more advanced disease) and that, in men with less advanced disease, higher doses of radiotherapy can give better prostate cancer outcomes without increasing unwanted effects when using modern radiotherapy equipment.|We have 3 studies open to recruitment and one to open. STAMPEDE, for men starting hormone therapy, uses new research methods to assess three quite different drugs (chemotherapy, bone-protecting drug, cox-2 inhibitor) alone or in pairs, each with standard hormone therapy. PATCH is looking at a different way of giving hormone therapy to reduce toxicity and improve outcomes. RADICALS studies when and how best to use radiotherapy and hormone therapy after surgery (radical prostatectomy) for prostate cancer, balancing cancer outcomes with potential unwanted effects. The new study uses magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose cancers that require treatment from those that do not.
Technical Summary
We wish to reduce over-diagnosis of clinically irrelevant tumours and reduce over-treatment. We wish to design and implement methods for speeding up trials and prostate cancer is a good testing ground for this.|In recent years, we have shown that:|a first-generation bisphosphonate drug may make men with metastases live longer (PR05, ISRCTN38477744) but not men with earlier disease (PR04, ISRCTN61384873)|men live longer if given radiotherapy with hormone therapy, the mainstay of treatment for more advanced disease (PR07, NCIC PR.3, ISRCTN24991896)|in men with less advanced disease, higher doses of radiotherapy can give better prostate cancer outcomes without increasing unwanted effects when using modern conformal radiotherapy methods (RT01, ISRCTN47772397). in men with less advanced disease, higher doses of radiotherapy can give better prostate cancer outcomes without increasing unwanted effects when using modern conformal radiotherapy methods (RT01, ISRCTN47772397).|We have 3 studies open to recruitment and one to open. STAMPEDE (MRC PR08, ISRCTN78818544) is a flagship trial for men starting long-term hormone therapy. It uses new multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) methods to supplement standard hormone therapy with 5 combinations of 3 drugs: doctaxel (a taxane chemotherapy), zoledronic acid (a potent, third-generation bisphosphonate) and celecoxib (a selective cox-2 inhibitor). More than 1500 patients from the UK and Switzerland have already joined this 6-arm trial.|PATCH (PR09, ISRCTN70406718) looks at whether oestrogen-based therapy can be administered more safely using patches rather than tablets; this method bypasses the liver pathways and cardiovascular problems should be reduced and efficacy improved. This is a novel idea. PATCH reached its target of 250 patients and will continue further.|RADICALS (PR10, NCIC PR-13, ISRCTN40814031) assesses two important questions for men who have chosen radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer: (i) the use and timing of post-operative radiotherapy, balancing potential efficacy and potential over-treatment; and (ii) the use of hormone therapy with any post-operative radiotherapy. RADICALS will recruit around 4,000 men from the UK, Canada, Denmark and beyond.|The new study evaluates multi-functional MRI in the diagnosis and characterisation of prostate cancer with a view to reducing over-diagnosis of clinically irrelevant tumours and over-treatment.

| Impact | Table 6.3.6 and text: 6.3.3 Radiotherapy for localised PCa 6.3.3.1 Dose escalation Several randomised studies (see below) have shown that dose escalation (range 74-80 Gy) has a significant impact on 5-year survival without biochemical relapse [391-397]. These trials have generally included patients from several risk groups, and the use of neoadjuvant/adjuvant hormone therapy (see below) has varied. To date, no trials have shown that dose escalation results in an OS benefit. However, the trials have been remarkably consistent in reporting improvements in freedom from biochemical progression in patients treated with dose-escalated radiotherapy. In everyday practice, a minimum dose of > 74 Gy is recommended for EBRT + hormone therapy. Currently, it is not possible to make different recommendations according to the patient's risk group. |

| Impact | Quotation The case for adding radical local treatment for men with high-risk localised and locally advanced disease is based on two randomised, controlled trials. The Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Study 7 (SPCG-7) trial included 875 men who received 3 months of combined androgen blockade followed by flutamide monotherapy. They were randomised by whether or not they were to receive radical radiotherapy (RT) to the prostate [14]. It showed a beneficial impact of radical RT in terms of cause-specific (11.9% versus 23.9%, P < 0.001) and overall mortality (29.6% versus 39.4%, P = 0.004). The NCIC/MRC trial randomised high-risk patients to either lifelong androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or to ADT plus RT. The addition of RT improved the 7-year survival probability from 66% to 74% (P = 0.003) [15]. Recommendations • Primary ADT alone is not recommended as standard initial treatment of non-metastatic disease [III, B]. • Options for patients with high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer include external beam RT plus hormone treatment [I, B] or RP plus pelvic lymphadenectomy [III, B]. |

| Impact | Quotation: These techniques have permitted safer dose escalation, and resu lts of randomized trials have suggested that dose escalation is associated with improved biochemical outcomes. 163-168 Kuban and colleagues 166 published an analysis of their dose-escalation trial of 301 patients with stage T1b to T3 prostate cancer. Freedom from biochemical or clinical failure was higher in the group randomized to 78 Gy compared to 70 Gy (78% vs. 59%, P = .004) at a median follow-up of 8.7 years. The difference was even greater among patients with diagnostic PSA >10 ng/mL (78% vs. 39%, P = .001). An analysis of the National Cancer Data Base found that dose escalation (75.6-90 Gy) resulted in a dose- dependent improvement in overall survival for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer. 169 In light of these findings, the conventional 70 Gy dose is no longer considered adequate. A dose of 75.6 to 79.2 Gy in conventional fractions to the prostate (with or without seminal vesicles) is appropriate for patients with low-risk cancers. Intermediate-risk and high-risk patients should receive doses up to 81.0 Gy. 159,170,17 |

| Collaborator Contribution | ICR received and processed the samples. The quality of the samples on the cards was poorer than hoped. ICR used their own grant funding to try many ways to extract the best quality DNA data from the cards. |
| Impact | A report is in progress. A paper will follow. The research fellow doing the majority the work will include this in his PhD thesis. |
