“WOLVERINE: MDT in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer.
Metastasis-directed therapy remains widely adopted in oligometastatic prostate cancer despite limited phase 3 data. WOLVERINE provides individual patient data across randomized phase 2 trials.
Seven trials, 574 patients
Primary analysis: 6 trials, 472 patients
Median follow-up: 40.7 months
MDT plus standard of care vs SOC:
- PFS
Trial-level HR 0.44 (95% CI 0.35–0.56), p<0.0001
Patient-level HR 0.45 (0.35–0.57), p<0.0001 - Radiographic PFS
Trial-level HR 0.60 (0.42–0.85), p=0.0039
Patient-level HR 0.59 (0.46–0.76), p<0.0001 - Castration resistance–free survival
Trial-level HR 0.58 (0.37–0.92), p=0.019
Patient-level HR 0.58 (0.37–0.91), p=0.017 - Overall survival
Trial-level HR 0.63 (0.39–1.00), p=0.051
Patient-level HR 0.64 (0.40–1.01), p=0.057
Clear benefit in disease control endpoints. OS signal did not reach statistical significance.
Key considerations:
Phase 2 data only. Heterogeneous imaging, systemic therapy backbones, and MDT modalities. Long-term impact on survival and quality of life remains uncertain.
Does improved PFS and delayed castration resistance justify routine MDT in all oligometastatic cases, or should selection be biologically refined?”
