TAT-10: Changes to Alkaline Phosphatase Dynamics and Overall Survival in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Treated with Radium-223 in an International Early Access Program
Previous studies (the ALSYMPCA trial) had shown significantly longer overall survival (OS) in patients with a confirmed ALP decline from baseline at week 12 compared to those with no ALP decline. This study continues the study of a correlation with ALP decline with improved outcomes in an international early access program (EAP).
696 patients were recruited from 14 countries. Treatment consisted of 55 kBq/kg administered by IV every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles. 398 patients (57%) showed confirmed ALP decline compared to 298 (43%) with no decline. Those patients with ALP decline were more likely to complete the full treatment of 5-6 Ra223. To test the positive correlation of ALP decline with OS and time to first symptomatic skeletal events (SSE), a hazard ratio (HR) was calculated from Cox proportional hazards model. The result showed both longer OS (HR of .229) and longer time to first SSE (HR of .474) for patients with ALP decline.
