LBA5009 Background: Pivotal trials of AAP for patients with mCRPC enrolled few B pts, a population with a higher mortality from prostate cancer. Retrospective data suggests B pts may have higher PSA response rates than W pts treated with AAP for mCRPC. Therefore, we prospectively investigated AAP in B vs. W pts with mCRPC. Methods: Abi Race (NCT01940276) is a prospective, multicenter, parallel group study of AP in 100 men (50 B, 50 W) with mCRPC, self-identified by race. All pts received AA 1000 mg/D and P 10 mg/D (AAP) until disease progression or unacceptable adverse events (AE). The primary objective was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS); key secondary endpoints include PSA kinetics and safety. Exploratory analyses include SNP, metabolomics and hormonal differences by race. Results: Baseline characteristics among pts were similar. The median rPFS for B and W pts was 16.8 months (mo) in each. However, PSA PFS varied by race; median PSA PFS for B and W pts were 16.6 and 11.5 mo [Table]. B pts also had numerically higher rates of ≥30%, ≥50% and ≥90% PSA decline [Table]. AEs were similar in frequency and severity by race including hypertension (42 vs 40%); however, fatigue was higher in W pts (40 vs 26%), and hypokalemia was higher in B pts (36 vs 18%). SNP profiling revealed differences in key genes involved in androgen metabolism and transport. Conclusions: This is the first prospective multicenter study by race of secondary hormonal therapy in mCRPC. B pts may have greater and more durable PSA response to AAP than W pts. SNP patterns vary by race and will be evaluated for prognostic significance. Further prospective studies in B pts are possible and needed to understand the impact of racial determinants on outcome of new hormonal regimens. Clinical trial information: NCT01940276.

Purpose To explore whether the presence of occult disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow before neoadjuvant hormone therapy influences the prognosis of patients with organ confined prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy. Patients and Methods Pretreatment bone marrow aspirates from 193 cT (1-4) pN0M0 prostate cancer patients submitted to neoadjuvant hormone therapy (mean, 8 months) followed by radical prostatectomy were immunohistochemically evaluated by anticytokeratin antibody A45-B/B3 previously validated for the detection of DTCs. Bone marrow status was compared with established clinical and histopathologic risk parameters. Patients’ outcome was evaluated using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood serum measurements as surrogate marker for recurrence over a median follow-up of 44 months. Results DTCs were detected in 44.6% of patients. Bone marrow status neither correlated with tumor grade and stage, nor with the pretreatment PSA risk category (all P values > .05). In the univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis, the presence of DTCs was a significant prognostic factor with respect to poor PSA progression-free survival (log-rank test P = .0035). Using a multivariable piecewise Cox regression model, the presence of DTCs was an independent predictor of PSA relapse (relative risk 1.82; P = .014). Conclusion The presence of DTCs in the bone marrow of patients with prostate cancer before neoadjuvant hormone therapy and subsequent surgery represents an independent prognostic parameter, suggesting that DTCs may contribute to the failure of current neoadjuvant hormone therapy regimens.
