Abstract
BACKGROUND: Taxanes are the only cytotoxic drugs that have demonstrated a survival benefit for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but there is some evidence that platinum compounds may also benefit such patients. METHODS: We performed a systematic search on electronic databases. We sought prospective clinical studies testing platinum compounds for CRPC. Platinum compounds could be delivered alone or in combination with other drugs. Both randomized and nonrandomized studies were included for qualitative synthesis, only randomized studies were included for meta-analyses. Clinical overall response rate (cORR), prostate-specific antigen overall response rate (sORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity were the outcomes of interest. RESULTS: We identified 53 studies delivering platinum agents for patients with CRPC. cORR varied from 0 to 82%, while sORR varied from 2% to 100%. Response rates were higher in patients who received combination treatments rather than platinum compounds alone. Pooled data from randomized trials demonstrated a statistically significant increase in both cORR (odds ratio = 5.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.89-14.92) and sORR (odds ratio = 2.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-3.22) when adding platinum compounds to chemotherapy. PFS varied from 2.1 to 12 months and OS 4.2 to 28 months with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Nausea and myelosuppression were the most common adverse effects. Toxicity was manageable in most studies. CONCLUSION: Platinum compounds are a safe and active treatment for CRPC. Response rates are higher when cytotoxic chemotherapy containing platinum agents are compared to nonplatinum chemotherapy. Data on OS and PFS are inconclusive. More research is needed to evaluate whether platinum-based chemotherapy results in a survival benefit for patients with CRPC, as well as to establish predictive biomarkers.
