Testing for Prostate Cancer Agressiveness

clinical summary

Background:• Prostate cancer has a highly variable natural history and accurately assessing the tumor’s

aggressiveness based on clinical and pathologic features is challenging.

• Novel prognostic markers are needed to more precisely guide therapeutic decisions.

• The Prolaris® test measures the activity of cell cycle progression genes in prostate cancer tissue.

• Prolaris has been tested in five distinct cohorts.

Methods: • All studies were retrospective.

• Formalin fixed prostate tissue from men with adenocarcinoma were analyzed.

• The Prolaris score® is calculated by measuring the average RNA expression of 31 cell cycle progression

genes normalized by the average expression of 15 housekeeping genes as quantitated by RT-PCR.

Conclusions:

• Prolaris predicts prostate cancer outcome in multiple patient cohorts and in diverse clinical settings.

• Prolaris provides independent information beyond clinicopathologic variables.

• Prolaris helps to further differentiate aggressive prostate cancer from indolent cancer.

Results:• Prolaris was a highly significant predictor of outcome in all five studies.

• Prolaris was the dominant predictor in all but one of the studies in multivariate analysis.

• In all five studies, the hazard ratios (HRs) per unit of change in the Prolaris score were remarkably

similar, ranging from 1.97 to 2.92.

• These HRs indicate that the effect size for the Prolaris score is robust in varying clinical settings.
