OBJECTIVE: To assess toxicity and patient quality of life after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to oligoprogressive disease (OPD) in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) on androgen receptor targeted agents (ARTA).
METHODS: This phase II trial enrolled patients with metastatic CRPC with ≤ 2 oligoprogressive lesions in bone, lymph node, lung, or prostate. All patients were receiving systemic treatment with abiraterone or enzalutamide at the time of oligoprogression. All patients received SBRT to the OPD site(s) and continued the current ARTA. Patients received 30 Gy in 5 fractions (alternate days) to the OPD site. The primary endpoint of the trial is to assess if SBRT to OPD sites results in progression free survival of >6 months. The primary endpoint for this toxicity analysis is the rate of grade 3 or higher adverse events at any timepoint up to 6 months after SBRT. Secondary endpoints included comparing pre- and post-SBRT patient-related outcomes reported using visual analogue scale scores and EQ-5D health questionnaire.
RESULTS: Forty enrolled patients had at least 6 months of follow-up at the time of analysis. Grade 3 or higher toxicity from any cause recorded using common terminology criteria for adverse events and radiation therapy oncology group was found in 8/40 (20%) of patients, but only 1/40 (2.5%) was deemed possibly related to SBRT. There was no significant difference in mean EQ5D visual analogue scale score from baseline to each timepoint after SBRT (p = 0.449).
CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective phase II clinical trial for OPD whilst on ARTA in the CRPC setting, we report low grade ≥ 3 toxicity after SBRT. There is no discernible change in patient-reported quality of life due to SBRT treatment. The final results of progression-free survival and toxicity of SBRT treatment will be reported once further follow-up is complete.

OBJECTIVE: Next-line systemic treatment (NEST) is the standard of care for patients presenting with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Progression-directed therapy (PDT), defined as a lesion-directed approach in patients with a limited number of progressive and/or new lesions, could postpone the need for NEST in these patients with so-called oligoprogressive mCRPC. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of postponing NEST initiation in oligoprogressive mCRPC by using PDT.
METHODS: MEDCARE was a prospective, single-arm, nonrandomized phase 2 trial. Eligible patients had oligoprogressive mCRPC and were treated with PDT while their ongoing systemic therapy was continued. The primary endpoint was NEST-free survival (NEST-FS). Secondary endpoints were prostate-specific antigen response, clinical progression-free survival (cPFS), prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS), overall survival (OS), and PDT-induced toxicity.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty patients underwent PDT for 38 oligoprogressive lesions. At median follow-up of 28 mo, median NEST-FS was 17 mo and the 2-yr NEST-FS rate was 35%. Median PCSS and median OS were not reached. The PCSS and OS rates at 2 yr were 80% and 70%, respectively. The 2-yr local control rate was 95%. No patient experienced early or late grade ≥3 toxicity. NEST-FS was longer for patients who received PDT to all lesions visible on 18F-PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (30 vs 13 mo; p = 0.002).
CONCLUSIONS: This single-center, single-arm, phase 2 trial demonstrated that PDT in oligoprogressive mCRPC resulted in median NEST-FS of 17 mo without any early or late grade ≥3 toxicity.
RESULTS: For patients with metastatic prostate cancer no longer responding to hormone therapy, we investigated radiotherapy targeted at progressive cancer lesions while continuing their ongoing systemic treatment. The results show that this targeted therapy had very low toxicity and delayed the need to start a new line of systemic treatment by 17 months.

OBJECTIVE: A better understanding of resistance to checkpoint inhibitors is essential to define subsequent treatments in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. By characterizing clinical and radiological features of progression after anti-programmed death-1/programmed death ligand-1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1), we aimed to define therapeutic strategies in patients with initial durable clinical benefit.
METHODS: This monocentric, retrospective study included patients who presented progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria after anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy. Patients were classified into two groups, \"primary resistance\" and \"Progressive Disease (PD) after Durable Clinical Benefit (DCB)\", according to the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer classification. We compared the post-progression survival (PPS) of both groups and analyzed the patterns of progression. An exploratory analysis was performed using the tumor growth rate (TGR) to assess the global growth kinetics of cancer and the persistent benefit of immunotherapy beyond PD after DCB.
RESULTS: A total of 148 patients were included; 105 of them presented \"primary resistance\" and 43 \"PD after DCB\". The median PPS was 5.2 months (95% CI: 2.6-6.5) for primary resistance (p < 0.0001) vs. 21.3 months (95% CI: 18.5-36.3) for \"PD after DCB\", and the multivariable hazard ratio was 0.14 (95% CI: 0.07-0.30). The oligoprogression pattern was frequent in the \"PD after DCB\" group (76.7%) and occurred mostly in pre-existing lesions (72.1%). TGR deceleration suggested a persistent benefit of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in 44.2% of cases.
CONCLUSIONS: PD after DCB is an independent factor of longer post-progression survival with specific patterns that prompt to contemplate loco-regional treatments. TGR is a promising tool to assess the residual benefit of immunotherapy and justify the continuation of immunotherapy in addition to radiotherapy or surgery.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and potential dose-response relationship of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pulmonary metastasis of sarcoma.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 39 patients and 71 lesions treated with SBRT from two institutions was performed. The patients had oligometastatic or oligoprogressive disease, or were receiving palliation. Doses of 20-60 Gy were delivered in 1-5 fractions. The local control per tumor (LCpT) was evaluated according to the biologically effective dose with an α/β ratio of 10 (BED10) of the prescribed dose (BED10 ≥ 100 Gy vs. BED10 < 100 Gy). Clinical outcomes per patient, including local control per patient (LCpP), pulmonary progression-free rate (PPFR), any progression-free rate (APFR), and overall survival (OS) were investigated.
RESULTS: The median follow-up period was 27.2 months. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year LCpT rates for the entire cohort were 100.0%, 88.3%, and 73.6%, respectively. There was no observed difference in LCpT between the two BED10 groups (p = 0.180). The 3-year LCpP, PPFR, APFR, and OS rates were 78.1%, 22.7%, 12.9%, and 83.7%, respectively. Five (12.8%) patients with oligometastasis had long-term disease-free intervals, with a median survival period of 40.7 months. Factors that were associated with a worse prognosis were oligoprogression (vs. oligometastasis), multiple pulmonary metastases, and simultaneous extrathoracic metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS: SBRT for pulmonary metastasis of sarcoma is effective. Some selected patients may achieve durable response. Considerations of SBRT indication and disease extent may be needed as they may influence the prognosis.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develops resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Here, we evaluated the efficacy of radiotherapy and continuation of TKIs in patients with advanced NSCLC with oligoprogression after EGFR-TKIs.
From January 2011 to January 2019, 33 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC on TKIs were treated by radiotherapy and continuation of TKIs for oligoprogressive disease. The primary endpoints were median progression-free survival 1 (mPFS1), mPFS2, and median overall survival (mOS). PFS1 was measured from the start of EGFR-TKIs therapy to the oligoprogression of the disease. PFS2 was measured from the date of oligoprogression to the further progression of the disease, while OS was calculated from oligoprogression to death from any cause or was censored at the last follow-up date.
The mPFS1, mPFS2, and mOS were 11.0 (95% CI, 4.4-17.6), 6.5 (95% CI, 1.4-11.6) and 21.8 (95% CI, 14.8-28.8) months, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that EGFR mutation type (p = 0.024), radiotherapy method (p = 0.001), and performance status (p = 0.017) were significantly correlated with PFS2. Univariate analysis showed that sex (p = 0.038), smoking history (p = 0.031), EGFR mutation type (p = 0.012), and radiotherapy method (p = 0.009) were significantly correlated with OS. Multivariate analysis suggested that radiotherapy method (p = 0.001) and performance status (p = 0.048) were prognostic factors for PFS2, and radiotherapy method (p = 0.040) was a prognostic factor for OS.
Radiotherapy with continued TKIs is effective for EGFR-mutated NSCLC with oligoprogression, and it should be conducted as soon as possible. T790M+ patients have higher sensitivity to radiotherapy, and patients with good performance status and stereotactic body radiation therapy have better PFS2 and OS.

BACKGROUND: Management of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with oligoprogression remains controversial. There is limited data to support the strategy of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) targeting the oligoprogressive disease in combination with ongoing systemic treatment. We aim to assess the benefit of this approach compared to standard of care in the treatment of oligoprogressive NSCLC.
METHODS: This phase II study will enroll 68 patients with oligoprogressive NSCLC, defined as 1-5 progressive extracranial lesions ≤5 cm involving ≤3 organs. Patients on active systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or a combination) will be randomized 1:1 to either continue their current systemic therapy in combination with SABR to all lesions or the standard of care (switch to the next line of treatment, continue same treatment or observation). The co-primary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include time to next systemic treatment, patient-reported quality of life, cost effectiveness as well as translational analysis to characterize both adaptive immunity and immunogenic cell death markers in the peripheral blood.
CONCLUSIONS: There is an unmet need to carefully examine the efficacy, safety and quality of life impact of SABR in the context of oligoprogressive disease. The present study will provide higher level randomized evidence on the role of SABR in oligoprogressive NSCLC.

To explore the prognostic value of the oligometastatic disease (OMD) states as proposed by the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) classification system.
This retrospective single-institution study included patients with 1-5 extracranial metastases from any solid malignancy treated with SBRT to all metastases. OMD states were defined according to the ESTRO EORTC classification. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Discriminatory strength of the classification was assessed by Gönen & Heller\'s concordance probability estimate (CPE). Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were used to assess predictors of OS and PFS.
In total, 385 patients were included. The median follow-up was 24.1 months. The most frequent OMD states were metachronous oligorecurrence (23.6%) and induced oligoprogression (18.7%). Induced OMD patients had significantly shorter median OS (28.1 months) compared with de-novo (46.3 months, p = 0.002) and repeat OMD (50.3 months, p = 0.002). Median PFS in de-novo OMD patients (8.8 months) was significantly longer than in repeat (5.4 months, p = 0.002) and induced OMD patients (4.3 months, p < 0.001). The classification system had moderate discriminatory strength for OS and PFS. Multivariable analyses confirmed that compared with induced OMD, de-novo OMD was associated with longer PFS and repeat with longer OS.
All patients were successfully categorized according to the ESTRO EORTC classification system. The discriminatory strength of the classification was confirmed for OMD patients treated with metastases-directed SBRT. Larger multicenter trials are needed to validate the prognostic power for OMD patients irrespective of primary tumor and treatment approach.

Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with systemic therapy sometimes progress at limited sites.The best treatment approach for patients with oligoprogression remains unclear.
To determine the ability of stereotactic ablative radiation (SAbR) to extend ongoing systemic therapy in mRCC patients with oligoprogression.
A single-arm phase II clinical trial was conducted at a university medical center and county hospital, including 20 patients with mRCC on first- to fourth-line systemic therapy with three or fewer sites of progression (including new sites) involving ≤30% of all sites.
SAbR to oligoprogressing metastases at outset and longitudinally, while radiated sites remain controlled and overall disease oligoprogressive.
The primary objective was to extend ongoing systemic therapy by >6 mo in >40% of patients. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, toxicity, and patient-reported quality of life.
Twenty patients were enrolled. Upfront and sequential SAbR was administered to a total of 37 sites. The local control rate was 100%. At a median follow-up of 10.4 mo (interquartile range: 5.8-16.4), SAbR extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy by >6 mo in 14 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 49.9-90.1). The median time from SAbR to the onset of new systemic therapy or death was 11.1 mo (95% CI: 4.5-19.3). The median duration of SAbR-aided systemic therapy was 24.4 mo (95% CI: 15.3-42.2). Median overall survival was not reached. One patient developed grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity possibly related to treatment. There was no significant decline in quality of life. Limitations include nonrandomized design and a small patient cohort.
SAbR extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy for patients with oligoprogressive mRCC without undermining quality of life. These data support the evaluation of SAbR for oligoprogressive mRCC in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
Patients with metastatic kidney cancer on systemic therapy but progressing at limited sites may benefit from focused radiation to progressive sites. Focused radiation was safe and effective, and extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate survival outcomes and toxicology profiles in oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients treated with SBRT for adrenal metastases.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 25 metastatic adrenal lesions in 24 oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients undergoing ablative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) between February 2010 and November 2019 in our department. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were local overall response rate (ORR), acute and late toxicities.
RESULTS: The most common primary tumor was non-small cell lung cancer (54%). Twenty-one patients received chemo or immuno-therapy. The median planning target volume (PTV) was 41.7 cm3. Median SBRT dose was 36 Gy. Median dose per fraction was 15 Gy. Median survival was 35-months with OS outcomes ranging from 6-months (100%), 1-year (87.5%) and 2-years (66.7%). ORR based on RECIST criteria was 66.5%. 12 patients experienced acute toxicities, mostly grade 1-2 (8 patients, 32%).
CONCLUSIONS: SBRT for oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients with adrenal metastases showed acceptable survival outcomes and a safe toxicity profile.
