e17057 Background: Systemic treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) include androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), chemotherapy, and radiopharmaceutical therapy, all of which have associated toxicity. We hypothesized that prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT-guided, metastasis-directed radiotherapy may offer durable disease control with low toxicity rates in patients with mCRPC who have a limited number of metastatic sites. Methods: We retrospectively screened 7 prospective databases of PSMA PET/CT scans conducted between 1/2016-2/2023 for patients with mCRPC who had ≤5 sites of oligorecurrent or oligoprogressive disease and received metastasis-directed radiotherapy to all sites of disease. Castration resistance was defined as either radiographic progression or biochemical progression (two consecutive prostate-specific antigen PSA increases ≥3 weeks apart) while on ADT with serum testosterone <50 ng/dL. Progression-free survival (PFS), freedom from new lines of systemic therapy, and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the start of metastasis-directed radiotherapy using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Progression was defined as the first instance of biochemical progression (PSA increase of 25% and 2 ng/mL above nadir, confirmed by repeat measurement ≥3 weeks later), radiographic progression, biopsy-proven recurrence, new systemic or local therapy, or death. Toxicity was graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5. Results: Twenty-six patients met inclusion criteria with a median follow-up of 34.6 months (interquartile range, 28.1-47.2 months). All patients previously received ADT, 20 (77%) received ARPIs, and 3 (12%) had prior chemotherapy. Median PSA was 1.2 ng/mL, median time from initial diagnosis was 6.2 years, and median time from castration resistance was 1.8 years. Between 10/2017-4/2023, 12 patients (46.2%) had one treated metastatic site, 11 patients (42.3%) had two, and 3 patients (11.5%) had three. Twenty-four patients (92.3%) received concurrent systemic therapy. Median PFS was 16.4 months (95% confidence interval CI, 11.4-21.4 months). Four-year PFS was 26.7% (95% CI, 8.9-44.5%). Median time to initiation of a new line of systemic therapy was 18.0 months (95% CI, 0-36.2 months). Four-year freedom from new lines of systemic therapy was 36.1% (95% CI, 15.5-56.7%). Median OS was not reached. Four-year OS was 72.5% (95% CI, 51.1-93.9%). Grade 2 and ≥3 toxicity rates were 3.8% and 0%, respectively. Conclusions: For patients with oligometastatic CRPC, PSMA PET/CT-guided metastasis-directed radiotherapy appears to offer durable disease control with low toxicity. Further prospective studies are needed to compare PSMA PET/CT-guided versus conventional imaging-guided radiotherapy.
