Background: BMI has been correlated with adverse prostate cancer outcomes, such as risk of biochemical failure, mortality and androgen deprivation therapy complications. Relugolix is a FDA-approved, once-daily oral GnRH receptor antagonist that has demonstrated superior continuous suppression of testosterone (T) to castrate levels through Week 48 compared to LEU (96.7% vs 88.8%, respectively; Shore N, NEJM 2020;382:2187) in men with advanced prostate cancer (APC). This HERO subgroup analysis looks at the impact of baseline BMI on efficacy and safety. Methods: HERO was a phase 3 randomized, open-label study to evaluate relugolix vs LEU in 930 men with APC. This analysis looked at all men enrolled and treated in the HERO study divided by baseline BMI (BMI subgroups: <25.0 [underweight and healthy weight]; 25.0 – 29.9 [overweight]; and >29.9 [obese]). Assessments included sustained T suppression to castrate levels (<50 ng/dL) from Day 29 through 48 weeks, early T suppression to castrate levels (Day 4 and Day 15), prostate specific antigen (PSA) response (>50% decrease from baseline) at Day 15 with confirmation at Day 29, and profound castration rate (<20 ng/dL) at Day 15. T recovery subset analysis was not included due to low patient numbers. All analyses performed were descriptive. Results: Of the 930 men (relugolix:622; LEU:308) treated in HERO, 287 (30.9%) men had BMI <25, 424 (45.6%) were 25 – 29.9, 219 (23.5%) were >29.9. Sustained castration rates through 48 weeks were higher for the relugolix group than the LEU group and results for select key secondary endpoints were generally consistent across BMI categories, although PSA response proportions were lower in obese patients (table). No differences were noted in the incidence or types of adverse events within treatment groups in the subgroups analyzed. Conclusions: In this HERO study subgroup analysis, relugolix demonstrated greater continuous T suppression than LEU regardless of baseline BMI. Although higher BMI has been associated with poorer outcomes, we did not observe a similar trend with T responses. A numerically lower PSA response was seen in obese patients. Additional research with longer follow-up is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT03085095.
