Abstract
Prostate cancer, a prevalent malignancy affecting the prostate gland, is a significant global health concern. Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) has proven effective in controlling advanced disease, with over 50% of patients surviving at the 10-year mark. However, a diverse spectrum of responses exists, and resistance to ADT may emerge over time. This underscores the need to explore innovative treatment strategies for effectively managing prostate cancer progression. Ongoing research endeavors persist in unraveling the complexity of prostate cancer and fostering the development of biologic and innovative approaches, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies. This review aims to provide a valuable synthesis of the dynamic landscape of emerging drug modalities in this context. Interestingly, the complexities posed by prostate cancer not only present a formidable challenge but also serve as a model and an opportunity for translational research and innovative therapies in the field of oncology.

Xiong X, Zhang S, Zheng W, Liao X, Yang J, Xu H, Hu S, Wei Q, Yang L. Second-line treatment options in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer after progression on first-line androgen-receptor targeting therapies: A systematic review and Bayesian network analysis. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2024; 196:104286. [PMID: 38316286 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2024.104286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize and indirectly compare the efficacy and safety of different second-line systematic therapies after first-line androgen-receptor targeting therapies (ARTs) for biomarker-unselected metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. METHODS Studies published in English up to May 2023 were identified in PubMed, Web of Science and ASCO-GU 2023. Studies accessing the efficacy and safety of second-line systematic therapies after first-line ARTs for biomarker-unselected mCRPC patients were eligible for current systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). RESULTS Thirty-two studies with 5388 patients and 10 unique treatment modalities met our inclusion criteria. Current evidence suggested that docetaxel (DOC) combined with the same ART as first-line (ART1) (ART1 + DOC) were associated with significantly improved PSA response, PSA progression-free survival (PFS) and clinical or radiographic PFS (rPFS) compared with other reported second-line systematic therapies, including DOC. An increase in toxicity was observed with ART1 + DOC. Our NMA indicated that DOC monotherapy was only inferior to ART1 + DOC in improvement disease outcomes. The incidence of toxicity between patients received second-line DOC and an alternative ART (ART2) was similar. CONCLUSION The available evidence reviewed in our work suggested a clinical benefit of DOC nomotherapy and DOC plus ART1 as the second-line systematic therapy for biomarker-unselected mCRPC patients progressed on a first-line ART. More studies and RCTs are needed to evaluate the optimal second-line treatments for mCRPC patients with one prior first-line ART.
