OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of low-dose (1 mg) daily diethylstilbestrol (DES) for the treatment of castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients treated with low-dose DES who had CRPC despite anti-androgen withdrawal. The study population consists of 63 patients treated in the pre- and post-chemotherapy settings based on a database review; 58 had sufficient data for efficacy, all were analyzed for safety.
RESULTS: A PSA decrease of ≥50% was observed in 19 of 49 pre-chemotherapy patients (39%) with a median time to progression (TTP) of 30 weeks (95% CI, 21.9, 68.7). A PSA decrease of <50% was seen in another 16 patients (33%) with a median TTP of 16.4 weeks (95% CI, 13.0, 37.6). Fourteen patients (29%) had progressive disease by PSA testing; their median TTP was 6.9 weeks (95% CI, 5.6, 12.9). Thromboembolic events included 2 patients with DVTs and 1 patient who developed primary fibrinolysis syndrome. Additional adverse events included gynecomastia in 37 of 63 patients (59%). Secondary observations included PSA responses in 3 of 9 patients treated with DES after chemotherapy progression and a high rate of PSA responses in patients re-treated with DES after a drug holiday.
CONCLUSIONS: Low-dose DES is safe and effective in a modern cohort of men with CRPC despite anti-androgen treatment. Its potential role in the post-chemotherapy setting and the suggestion of efficacy on re-challenge merits additional consideration.
