["project_brief_bg"]=> string(2942) "Despite the decrease in incidence of metastases at PC diagnosis from over 50% in the 1970s to currently less than 10%, the population of patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis accounts for half of PC mortality (1). A median time to CRPC of 16 months and an OS of 5.2 years was observed in men with detectable metastasis at diagnosis that died of mCRPC. The other half of patients who died of mCRPC had localized PC at diagnosis (64% of which were classified as high-risk PC), with a median OS of 8.8 years (1). Data suggest that the notion of an initially indolent disease slowly progressing to the metastatic phase and death is valid in only approximately half of patients who die of PC.
While different retrospective studies have suggested a survival benefit of local therapy (cytoreductive prostatectomy or radiation therapy) in metastatic PC (2,3,4), the impact of PLT on OS in mCRPC has been scarcely addressed. One recent retrospective study conclude that men who progressed from non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC) to mCRPC and had undergone RP +/- RT for localised disease had improved survival compared with those who were treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. This survival benefit is not seen in men treated with RT alone. Selection of patients in this study was based on non?metastatic CRPC, excluding patients with positive imaging for distant metastases before the CRPC diagnosis (5).
The impact of time to metastasis on OS in patients with PC has also been retrospectively studied. In a recent study, authors conclude that due to the shortest time from diagnosis to CRPC, patients with "de novo" metastasis have the worst OS compared with those who were free of metastasis initially but developed metastasis before or after becoming castration-resistant. Once CRPC was reached, no difference in survival time was observed between groups. Authors suggested that efforts aimed to prolong the development of CRPC seem to be essential to improve survival time (6).
Consequently, efforts must be aimed to:
1. Define the optimal treatment strategy for patients with upfront metastatic disease. Currently, the most controversial approach is the indication of treatment to the primary tumor. Recently a survival benefit was seen with RT to the primary tumor for newly diagnosed prostate cancer with a low metastatic burden (7). No evidence exists for surgery in this setting.
2. Identify patients with localised PC with a higher likelihood of dying of the disease, who could potentially benefit from alternative treatment modalities other than extended surgery and conventional adjuvant therapies. Novel endocrine therapies such as apalutamide, for instance, are being currently tested in the neoadjuvant setting.

Project Title: Prognostic relevance of prior local therapy, time to metastasis and time to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in metastatic CRPC (mCRPC)

Scientific Abstract: Brackground: The role of prior local therapy (PLT) on the outcomes of men with metastatic prostate cancer (PC) is a subject of growing interest. Retrospective studies have suggested an improved survival in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients who underwent PLT with radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy (RT). The effect of PLT in newly diagnosed mCRPC patients and its prognostic significance remains unknown.
Objective: to evaluate the incidence and prognostic significance of PLT with RP or RT, time to metastasis and time to CRPC on overall survival (OS) in chemo-nave mCRPC patients treated with AA/placebo + prednisone
Study design: retrospective cohort study
Participants: mCRPC patients in the COU-AA-302 trial
Main Outcome Measures: Overall survival
Statistical Analysis: Patients will be categorised based on PLT (PR or RT or both). OS will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards regression models will be used to test the association of PLT, time to metastasis and time to CRPC with OS.

Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance: Despite the decrease in incidence of metastases at PC diagnosis from over 50% in the 1970s to currently less than 10%, the population of patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis accounts for half of PC mortality (1). A median time to CRPC of 16 months and an OS of 5.2 years was observed in men with detectable metastasis at diagnosis that died of mCRPC. The other half of patients who died of mCRPC had localized PC at diagnosis (64% of which were classified as high-risk PC), with a median OS of 8.8 years (1). Data suggest that the notion of an initially indolent disease slowly progressing to the metastatic phase and death is valid in only approximately half of patients who die of PC.
While different retrospective studies have suggested a survival benefit of local therapy (cytoreductive prostatectomy or radiation therapy) in metastatic PC (2,3,4), the impact of PLT on OS in mCRPC has been scarcely addressed. One recent retrospective study conclude that men who progressed from non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC) to mCRPC and had undergone RP +/- RT for localised disease had improved survival compared with those who were treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. This survival benefit is not seen in men treated with RT alone. Selection of patients in this study was based on non?metastatic CRPC, excluding patients with positive imaging for distant metastases before the CRPC diagnosis (5).
The impact of time to metastasis on OS in patients with PC has also been retrospectively studied. In a recent study, authors conclude that due to the shortest time from diagnosis to CRPC, patients with "de novo" metastasis have the worst OS compared with those who were free of metastasis initially but developed metastasis before or after becoming castration-resistant. Once CRPC was reached, no difference in survival time was observed between groups. Authors suggested that efforts aimed to prolong the development of CRPC seem to be essential to improve survival time (6).
Consequently, efforts must be aimed to:
1. Define the optimal treatment strategy for patients with upfront metastatic disease. Currently, the most controversial approach is the indication of treatment to the primary tumor. Recently a survival benefit was seen with RT to the primary tumor for newly diagnosed prostate cancer with a low metastatic burden (7). No evidence exists for surgery in this setting.
2. Identify patients with localised PC with a higher likelihood of dying of the disease, who could potentially benefit from alternative treatment modalities other than extended surgery and conventional adjuvant therapies. Novel endocrine therapies such as apalutamide, for instance, are being currently tested in the neoadjuvant setting.
We intend to evaluate the incidence of PLT with RP or RT and assess the impact on OS in mCRPC patients treated with AA/placebo + prednisone in the COU-AA-302 trial (8)

Specific Aims of the Project: SPECIFIC AIMS:
1. To determine the proportion of chemo-nave mCRPC patients with PLT (RP +/- RT or RT) treated with abiraterone/placebo + prednisone in the COU-AA-302 trial.
2. To determine the number of patients that were diagnosed of mCRPC by PSA progression or by radiographic progression (with or without PSA progression).
3. To determine the number of patients with newly diagnosed mCRPC who were metastatic at diagnosis, metastatic before CRPC or metastatic after CRPC.
To evaluate:
1. To evaluatethe impact of PLT on OS in abiraterone + prednisone and placebo + prednisone treated patients with chemonave mCRPC
2. To evaluate the impact of time to metastasis and time to CRPC on OS in abiraterone + prednisone and placebo + prednisone treated patients with chemonave mCRPC
SPECIFIC HYPOTHESES:
We hypothesized that PLT, time to metastasis and time to CRPC could be prognostic factors on OS in chemotherapy nave mCRPC patients.

Narrative Summary: Hormone therapy is the usual treatment for metastatic prostate cancer (cancer cells have spread to bones, lung or liver). After some months of this treatment, patients stop responding to hormone therapy. This condition is known as CRPC.
The aim of this study is to find if patients with metastatic CRPC who received treatment with surgery (radical prostatectomy) or radiation when they were first diagnosed of prostate cancer, do better than those treated initially with hormone therapy. Furthermore, the study will try to find if time to develop metastasis and time to CRPC diagnosis influence the outcomes of the patients.
