64 Background: LACOG0415 is a 3-arm randomized trial evaluating ADT with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (ADT+AAP), apalutamide alone (APA) or apalutamide with AAP (APA+AAP) for patients with locally-advanced, high-risk biochemical recurrence or metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (ASCO 2020). In this trial, ADT+AAP and APA+AAP achieved the primary endpoint of percentage of patients with PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL at week 25. Apalutamide alone showed a high PSA decline > 50% rate, but did not achieve the pre-specified PSA threshold. Here we report patient-reported outcome data using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P). Methods: HRQoL was measured in the overall population using the FACT-P questionnaire, comprising 5 subscales: physical wellbeing (PWB), functional wellbeing (FWB), emotional wellbeing (EWB), social/family wellbeing (SFWB), and prostate cancer subscale (PCS). Scores for each patient were measured at baseline and every four weeks until week 25. Questionnaire completion was defined as ≥ 1 question answered at an assessment time point. Analysis of HRQoL change from baseline and deterioration included only patients with baseline and ≥ 1 postbaseline score. Differences greater than 10-points in FACT-P total score and differences greater than 3-points in PWB, FWB, EWB, SFWB, and PCS scores were considered clinically significant. The time-to-event endpoint was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by stratified log-rank test. Results: 128 patients were included in LACOG0415 trial and 122 of them completed the HRQoL assessments (ranging from 95.3% at baseline to 79.7% at week 25). FACT-P and all subscales scores were similar for all three arms at baseline. There were no meaningful differences in FACT-P scores at baseline and at week 25 between the 3 arms. The subscales scores also showed no statistically differences at baseline and at week 25. Time to FACT-P deterioration did not show any statistically difference between three arms ( P=0.3371). Conclusions: ADT free alternatives with APA alone or APA+AAP did not show meaningful differences in HRQoL in patients with advanced castration-sensitive prostate cancer compared to ADT+AAP. The short follow-up period limited the ability to explore differences in HRQoL after 25 weeks. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to further evaluate HRQoL with ADT-free strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT02867020. [Table: see text]

Metastatic prostate cancer remains a challenge for clinicians. Metastases involve mainly the bone compartment and can manifest as oligometastatic disease. In this setting, the role of metastasis-directed therapies (MDT) including surgery and/or stereotactic body radiotherapy is currently evaluated. Visceral metastases are less common and have very poor prognosis in mPC. Whether treating isolated visceral metastases such as liver metastases with MDT could increase the prognosis remains unknown. We report the management of a prostate cancer patient who progressed on androgen deprivation therapy with apparition of two liver metastases. We describe the feasibility of combining MDT with abiraterone acetate and prednisone in a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. MDT allowed the interruption of abiraterone acetate, preventing cumulative toxicity of this agent.

e15195 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone (P) has demonstrated an improved survival of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) compared to placebo plus P in a large phase III trial. In Germany, patients were able to receive AA within a compassionate-use program (CUP). Here, we report the first results of the program. Methods: Patients were eligible for the CUP if they progressed on or after at least one cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. For CUP entry, patients were considered to have disease progression if they had radiographic evidence of disease progression in soft tissue or bone with or without PSA-progression and ongoing androgen deprivation. Patients received AA 1000mg daily plus prednisone 5mg BID until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Results: Between 02-05/2011, 398 patients were registered for the CUP in Germany. Data from 191/350 (47.9%) of the patients treated at 10 different sites were available for evaluation of efficacy. Median age was 70.72yrs (52.35-87.61) and patients received a median of 1 (1-4) chemotherapy lines prior to CUP entry. Median PSA at baseline was 220.5 ng/ml (0.47-4245); 168 (88%) of patients presented with bone metastasis. With regard to efficacy, 64/191 (33.5%) of the patients showed an unconfirmed PSA-response ≥50%. At a median follow-up of 5.3 months, 51/191 (26.7%) patients had died, resulting in a median PSA-progression free and overall survival of 8.3 and 10.61 months, respectively. In a subset of patients (71/191, 37.2%) data regarding objective response was available with 25/71 (35.2%) achieving an objective response. Data from 114 pts. revealed fatigue (20.3%), hot flushes (15.8%), edema (10.6%), elevated liver enzymes (8.0%) and asthenia (7.9%) being the most frequent toxicities (any grade). Conclusions: Treatment of CRPC patients with AA outside controlled clinical trials leads to considerable PSA- and objective response rates with a favourable toxicity profile, comparable to the results from COU-AA-301 registration trial. Due to the short median follow-up, conclusions regarding PSA-progression free and overall survival may not be drawn.

17 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA) has recently been approved for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) following docetaxel chemotherapy. AA inhibits CYP17, reducing androgen production and thereby impacting androgen receptor (AR) signalling. Recent evidence suggests taxanes also impact AR signalling, raising concerns about potential cross-resistance. We have previously shown that docetaxel has no antitumor activity in AA refractory patients. We have now evaluated the antitumor activity of AA post-docetaxel to determine the activity of AA in docetaxel refractory patients. Methods: Forty four men with CRPC treated with docetaxel (75 mg/m2 every 21 days) followed by post-chemotherapy AA at the Royal Marsden Hospital were identified. Radiological response by RECIST, PSA response by PSAWG2 criteria and symptomatic benefit were evaluated. Results: An average of 9 cycles of docetaxel were given (range 3-17); 7 patients discontinued chemotherapy due to progression of disease and 10 for toxicity. Of 40 patients with PSA data available, 26 (65%) had a PSA decline of at least 50%. At commencement of AA, median age was 68 years. Bone, nodal and visceral metastases were present in 38 (86%), 23 (52%) and 6 (14%) of the cohort respectively. An average of 5 months of treatment were delivered and 23 patients continue on AA. Of the 44, 7 (16%) patients had a 50% or greater PSA decline on AA. None of the 7 patients who were docetaxel refractory had a subsequent PSA, radiological or clinical response to AA. Of the 6 patients who received less than 5 cycles of docetaxel due to toxicity, 2 had subsequent PSA response on AA. There was no relationship between length of time on LHRH agonist and PSA response to AA. Conclusions: Our data suggest that patients who are refractory to docetaxel do not respond to AA. Overall, in conjunction with our other evidence that in AA-refractory patients docetaxel has no antitumor activity, these data provide further evidence for cross-resistance between these two agents.

190 Background: The optimal sequence and combination of life-extending anticancer therapies in mCRPC pts remains unknown. Sipuleucel-T (sip-T), an autologous cellular immunotherapy approved for the therapy of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) pts, was evaluated in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone (abi) in the phase II STAMP trial (NCT01487863), with pts randomly assigned to receive CON sip-T + abi or SEQ sip-T followed by abi. The combination was well-tolerated and did not alter the immune response parameters that correlate with overall survival (OS) (Small Clin Can Res 2015). Here, we present long-term follow-up of clinical outcomes, including OS. Methods: mCRPC pts were randomized 1:1 to CON or SEQ therapy with sip-T and abi. Abi began 1 day after (CON) or at wk 10 (SEQ) after the first sip-T infusion and continued for 26 wk of therapy, after which continued abi therapy was permitted. Long-term clinical outcomes included OS, disease-specific death (DSS), progressive disease (PD), time to first anticancer intervention (tACI), and safety. Results: 69 pts were enrolled (35 CON; 34 SEQ). Median OS was 34.0 mo (95% CI, 24.4-not estimable [NE]; 30.0 mo CON; 34.2 mo SEQ; p = 0.921), and median time to DSS was not reached (CON vs SEQ; p = 0.733). Median time to PD was 17.3 mo (95% CI, 9.7–NE; 17.7 mo CON vs 13.9 mo SEQ; p = 0.914; consistent with higher rates of abi discontinuation due to PD in SEQ [26.5% vs 14.3% in CON]). tACI was similar between arms at 15.4 mo (95% CI, 11.0–19.9). No new safety signals were observed with the combination, and no discernable difference in clinical outcomes was observed with CON or SEQ treatments. Conclusions: Long-term follow-up data confirm that sip-T + CON or SEQ abi is well-tolerated, with no new safety signals. No clear differences were observed in clinical outcomes between arms, although the study was not powered to detect these differences. Future and more appropriately powered studies on the effect of sip-T + continuous abi for responding pts may provide further insights on the benefit of combination therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01487863.

82 Background: TITAN, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of apalutamide (APA) vs placebo (PBO) added to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), demonstrated significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival in a broad pt population with mCSPC who received APA (Chi KN et al. NEJM 2019). This post hoc analysis evaluates whether type of 1st life-prolonging subsequent therapy (hormonal vs taxane) has an effect on PFS2 benefit shown with APA + ADT. Methods: PFS2 (the time from randomization to disease progression on 1st subsequent therapy for prostate cancer or death, whichever occurs first) was evaluated for pts from TITAN based on 1st subsequent life-prolonging therapy (hormonal vs taxane) after study treatment. Analysis censored all other 1st subsequent systemic therapies after start of treatment. Results: 277 pts (APA, 87; PBO, 190) received subsequent systemic therapy for prostate cancer; 86 pts (APA, 24; PBO, 62) received hormonal therapy (abiraterone acetate + prednisone or enzalutamide) and 99 (APA, 30; PBO, 69) received taxane (docetaxel or cabazitaxel) as 1st subsequent therapy. Baseline demographic and disease characteristics were generally similar between groups. The taxane group had a higher proportion of pts with high volume and pts with > 10 bone metastases, and a lower proportion with prior docetaxel exposure when compared with the hormonal group. Median treatment duration with APA and PBO was 11.9 and 11.1 mos in the hormonal group and 11.0 and 11.3 mos in the taxane group. Regardless of subsequent therapy, PFS2 was significantly longer for APA vs PBO (HR 0.66 [95% CI 0.50-0.87], p = 0.0026). Pts in both groups who received APA had a significant reduction in risk of 2nd progression compared with PBO (hormonal: HR 0.68 [0.48-0.97], p = 0.0326; taxane: HR 0.67 [0.48-0.94], p = 0.0189; medians not reached). Safety analyses were not conducted; all pts had discontinued therapy, most due to disease progression. Conclusions: The addition of APA to ADT for treatment of mCSPC results in risk reduction of 2nd progression regardless of choice of hormonal or taxane as the 1st life-prolonging subsequent therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02489318.
