151 Background: After treatment with D based chemotherapy, there is currently no standard therapy although new options are emerging. Due to its mechanism of action, acceptable toxicity profile and simple administration, SU has potential for therapeutic activity in the setting of maintenance therapy for patients with mCRPC who have responded to D based chemotherapy. Methods: Patients with mCRPC who had evidence of responding or stable disease at completion of D treatment were enrolled in this phase II multicentre trial. Patients received 50mg of SU daily on 4 week on/2 week off cycles. The primary endpoint was effect of SU maintenance on PFS. Because of potential effects of SU on PSA kinetics, clinical progression was defined independent of PSA. PSA response rate was a secondary endpoint. PSA-progression (PSA-P) was defined as a 25% PSA increase over baseline. Results: Thirteen patients have been enrolled and treated to date. Mean age was 63 years (47-76). ECOG scores of 0, 1, and 2 were reported for 4, 8 and 1 patients respectively. Mean number of prior cycles of D given was 9.5. A total of 28 cycles of SU were administered. A total of 291 adverse events (AEs) were recorded, of which 66%, 27%, and 7% were classified as Grades 1, 2, and 3, respectively. No Grade 4 AEs were seen. AEs were of a type and severity expected for SU. The most frequent grade 3 AEs were fatigue (n=3) and hand foot syndrome (n=3). No PSA responses have been documented. Most patients had immediate PSA increases without evidence of clinical progression. The mean PSAs increased by 159%, 396%, and 853% in Cycles 1, 2, and 3, respectively, corresponding to p-values of 0.18, 0.03, and 0.01 when compared to the PSA-P threshold of 25%. The trial will continue to complete its planned accrual of 26 evaluable patients and updated results, along with PFS, will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: SU is well tolerated as maintenance therapy after D in men with mCRPC, with a predictable side-effect profile. PSA values after treatment with SU may not reflect progression in patients with mCRPCas significant increases were observed as early as Cycle 2 without clinical evidence of worsening disease.

153 Background: Docetaxel (D) remains the standard first cytotoxic therapy in mCRPC. Given its mechanism of action, acceptable toxicity profile and simple administration, SU had potential as maintenance therapy for mCRPC. In this multicenter study, we evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of SU monotherapy in patients (pts) with mCRPC who have responded to D. Methods: Pts withmCRPC and responding/stable disease at the time of D completion were enrolled in this multicentre trial. Pts received 50mg of SU daily on 4/2 week on/off cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), defined on the basis of RECIST criteria and worsening disease-related symptoms requiring further therapy. Because the effect of SU on PSA is not well known, PSA progression alone was not considered disease progression. PFS of 180 days was considered to be a clinically meaningful threshold for recommending further study of SU. PSA response was a secondary endpoint. The threshold for PSA-progression (PSA-P) was defined as a 25% increase in PSA over baseline. Results: Twenty-three pts were enrolled and treated. Mean age was 66.5 years (48-78). ECOG scores of 0, 1, and 2 were reported for 9, 13 and 1 pts respectively. Mean number of prior cycles of D was 8.6 (4-12). A total of 92 cycles of SU were administered; a mean of 4 per pt (1-11). Mean follow-up was 5.4 months (0.6-15). A total of 479 adverse events (AE) were recorded, of which 88% were Grade 1-2 and 12% were Grade 3-4. The AE were of a type and severity expected for SU. Three Grade 4s occurred, consisting of hepatitis, myelosuppression, and pneumonia. Median PFS was 133 days (95% CI: 48-154). Most pts had immediate PSA increases without evidence of disease progression, with the mean increases in PSA over baseline being 197%, 342%, and 1437% in Cycles 1, 2, and 3, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusions: Although SU was well tolerated as maintenance therapy with predictable side-effects, median PFS was lower than the predefined threshold of 180 days. PSA values were not informative as significant increases were observed as early as Cycle 2. This agent is not considered worthy of further investigation in this setting of maintenance therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT00550810.

108 Background: We assessed the cytotoxic effects of the gemcitabine in combination with oxaliplatin (GemOx) in prostate cancer cell lines and evaluated the efficacy and safety of GemOx in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who failed docetaxel based chemotherapy. Methods: Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were preclinically tested for their cytotoxic activity in LNCaP, PC3 and DU145 cell lines. The combined drug effects were evaluated using the Chou and Taladay analysis. Clinically, patients with CRPC who failed prior docetaxel chemotherapy were treated with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 at fixed-dose rate (10 mg/m2/min) and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously every 2 weeks and prednisolone 5 mg orally twice daily. Unless disease progression or intolerability develops, treatment could be continued until 12 cycles. Primary endpoint was PSA response rate (PCWG 1.0 criteria). Results: The IC50of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were, respectively, 1.25 μM and 0.69 μM for LNCaP cells; 50.00+ μM and 12.81 μM for PC3 cells; and 11.23 μM and 11.04 μM for DU145 cells. The GemOx combination displayed synergistic effects in all 3 cell lines. In phase II study, 31 patients were accrued. At the time of this analysis 7 patients were still continuing treatment. The median age was 67 years (range 57 ~ 81) and the median dose of docetaxel exposure was 525 mg/m2. A total of 231 cycles administered with a median of 9 cycles per patient. PSA responses were observed in 52% (95% CI, 34~69) and partial responses were observed in 7 of 10 patients with measurable disease. Out of 23 patients, 10 patients achieved pain response (44%). With a median FU duration of 8.0 months, the median time to PSA progression was 6.4 months (95% CI, 3.5~9.2). Peripheral neuropathy developed in 78% of patients but remained of grade 1 ~2 intensities. Frequently observed grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (10%), thrombocytopenia (10%), anemia (3%), and diarrhea (3%). Conclusions: GemOx is active and well tolerated in patients with CPRC after docetaxel failure and deserves further investigation in this setting (NCT 01487720). Clinical trial information: NCT01487720.

e16055 Background: Previous trials of the antiangiogenic kinase inhibitor sorafenib in mCRPC have reported PSA elevation accompanying radiographic response, and evidence that sorafenib may potentiate docetaxel (dxl) myelosuppression. To assess the safety, antivascular effects, and activity of sorafenib and dxl in mCRPC, a phase II trial with dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) was conducted. Methods: Eligible men had mCRPC and no prior chemotherapy. Treatment consisted of dxl 75 mg/m2(day 1) and sorafenib (days 2–19) of a 21 day cycle. Patients received 7 days of sorafenib before cycle 1. Six patients received sorafenib 200mg BID and remaining patients received sorafenib 400 mg BID if <4/6 patients had grade 4 neutropenia. DCE-MRI was performed at baseline, days 8 and 28. The primary endpoint was PSA response rate (>50% PSA decline). Secondary endpoints were vascular response rate (>20% decline in area under the gadolinium curve [AUC60]), toxicity rates, and time to progression (TTP). PSA-only progression (2 consecutive PSA rises) was confirmed by a third PSA rise or radiographic progression after a 21-day drug holiday. Sample size of 69 patients in 1 stage was designed to maximize detection of significant correlations between DCE-MRI and clinical outcomes. Results: Six of 13 enrolled patients (46%) had a PSA response. A median PSA increase of 37% was observed in 73% of patients after 1 week of sorafenib. The median TTP was 8+ months. Two patients had complete disappearance of bone lesions. Grade 3 adverse events were neutropenia (77%), hand-foot syndrome (23%), anemia (15%), nausea (8%), and rash (8%). A median AUC60 decline of 40% from baseline was observed after 7 days of sorafenib, and only a 6% decline on day 28 during a scheduled sorafenib holiday. Conclusions: Sorafenib 400 mg po bid and dxl 75 mg/m2 are tolerable in men with mCRPC. Elevated PSA values in men treated with sorafenib and dxl does not always reflect disease progression. DCE-MRI can capture sorafenib's impairment of tumor vasculature in osseous metastases and rebound angiogenesis during drug holidays. Bone responses and TTP data provide evidence of encouraging activity. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5500 Background: LuPSMA is a radiolabeled small molecule that delivers therapeutic β-radiation to PSMA-expressing tumors. Encouraging efficacy and safety has been shown in non-randomized studies of mCRPC. TheraP is a randomized phase II trial comparing LuPSMA vs cabazitaxel in men with mCRPC progressing after docetaxel. Methods: Men with mCRPC, and imaging with 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-FDG PET/CT that confirmed high PSMA-expression and no sites of FDG-positive/PSMA-negative disease, were randomly assigned (1:1) to LuPSMA (6-8GBq q6weeks up to 6 cycles) vs cabazitaxel (20mg/m2 q3weeks up to 10 cycles); stratified by disease burden (>20 vs ≤20 sites), prior novel antiandrogens (NAA; abiraterone or enzalutamide), and study site. The primary endpoint was PSA response rate (PSA50-RR) defined by ≥50% reduction. Secondary efficacy endpoints included PSA-progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and overall survival (OS). Data cut-off was 31DEC19 at this first pre-specified analysis. Results: 200 (median age 72 y, prior NAA 91%, >20 lesions 78%) of 291 PET screened men were randomised to LuPSMA (N=99) or cabazitaxel (N=101). 17 patients withdrew or died before receiving study treatment (1 LuPSMA vs 16 cabazitaxel). The PSA50-RR was higher in those assigned LuPSMA than cabazitaxel (65/99 [66%; 95%CI 56-75] vs 37/101 [37%; 95%CI 27-46]; P<0.001). At a median follow-up of 11.3 months, LuPSMA significantly improved PSA-PFS (HR 0.63, 95%CI 0.45-0.88, P=0.007; 143 events with next pre-specified analysis planned after 170 events). Efficacy results were similar when analyses were restricted to per-protocol treated men. OS data remains immature (57 deaths). Grade III-IV adverse events (AEs) occurred in 31/98 (32%) LuPSMA-treated men vs 42/85 (49%) in cabazitaxel-treated men. Discontinuations for toxicity occurred in 1/98 (1%) LuPSMA vs 3/85 (4%) cabazitaxel-treated. There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: In men with docetaxel-treated mCRPC, LuPSMA was more active (PSA50-RR) than cabazitaxel with relatively fewer G3-4 AEs and PSA-PFS favoring LuPSMA. Clinical trial information: NCT03392428 .

e17584 Background: Pembrolizumab monotherapy has shown antitumor activity and acceptable safety in patients with mCRPC previously treated with a next-generation hormone agent (NHA) and docetaxel. Presented herein are updated results from KEYNOTE-199 (NCT02787005), a multicohort phase 2 study, in patients with RECIST-measurable PD-L1+ disease (C1), RECIST-measurable, PD-L1− disease (C2), and bone-predominant disease, irrespective of PD-L1 (C3). Methods: Patients who previously received ≥1 NHA and 1 or 2 chemotherapies, including docetaxel, received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for 35 cycles or until progression/toxicity. The primary end point was ORR per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR). Key secondary end points were DCR, PSA response rate (≥50% decrease from baseline), time to PSA progression, rPFS, OS, DOR, and safety. rPFS and OS were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Of 258 treated patients (C1, 133; C2, 67; C3, 58), 6 completed therapy (C1, 4; C3, 2) and 252 discontinued (C1, 129; C2, 67; C3, 56), primarily due to progression (C1, 106; C2, 61; C3, 45). Median (range) time from enrollment to data cutoff was 31.3 mo (26.7-34.7) in C1, 30.6 mo (28.0-34.1) in C2, and 32.6 mo (27.4-34.4) in C3. Efficacy results are displayed in the table. ORR (95% CI) for patients with measurable disease was 6% (2.6-11.5) in C1 and 3% (0.4-10.4) in C2. Of 10 responders, 6 had a DOR ≥18 mo. Median time to PSA progression was 4 mo across cohorts. Any grade treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) occurred in 57-60% of patients across C1-3. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 16% of patients in C1, 15% in C2, and 17% in C3; 1 patient in each cohort died of a TRAE (C1, sepsis; C2, unknown; C3, immune-related pneumonitis). Conclusions: Pembrolizumab monotherapy was well tolerated and showed durable, antitumor activity and disease control with survival up to 24 mo in 3 cohorts of docetaxel and NHA-pretreated patients with RECIST-measurable or bone-predominant mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02787005 . [Table: see text]

e16032 Background: Metronomic oral CTX and C has demonstrated activity and a favourable toxicity profile in CRCP. Combination of such strategy with the standard DP could be of interest. Methods: Pts with CRPC received D 60 mg/sqm iv day 1 every 3 weeks up to 12 cycles and from day 2 continuously: P 5 mg po BID, CTX 50 mg po daily, and C 200 mg po BID. Primary objective is the percentage of pts free of progression at 6 months; secondary are: PSA levels decrease ≥ 50%, objective responses (RECIST), toxicities (NCI-CTC criteria) survival and pharmacodynamic evaluations. Results: To date 29 pts have been enrolled. Main pts characteristics are: median age 72 years (52–78 years), median PS 0 (0–2), median baseline PSA level 38,8 ng/mL (2.5–1309 ng/mL); main sites of disease: bone 23 pts (79%), lymphnodes 6 pts (21%), liver 1 pt (3,5%). Twenty-nine pts are evaluable for toxicity whereas 28 for PSA response (1 pt abandoned the study due to allergic reaction after first D administration). Median number of D cycles delivered is 10 (1–12) and median duration of metronomic CTX plus P and C is 224 days (35–874 days). Main grade 3 side-effects are: neutropenia (2 pt; 7%), thrombocytopenia, diarrhoea, stomatitis and onycholysis (1 pt; 3.5%). No grade 4 toxicities have been observed.The rate of pts free of progression at 6 months is 80%. Overall 18 pts (64%) showed a PSA decrease ≥ 50% and 23 pts (82%) showed any PSA decrease from baseline (range: 4%-99%of decrease). Four pts are evaluable according to RECIST criteria: we observed 1 CR, 2 SD and 1 PD. At a median follow up of 12,4 months median time to PSA progression is 11.6 months (95% CI 8,3–15). Conclusions: Metronomic CTX plus C in combination with DP is a feasible and tolerable regimen with a promising preliminary activity. The evaluation of plasma levels of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), VEGF, sVEGFR-2, VE-cadherin mRNA, and the expression of TSP-1 and VEGF in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, as potential surrogated markers of antiangiogenic activity of the combination, is ongoing. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

279 Background: PX-866 is an irreversible, pan-isoform inhibitor of Class I PI-3K. In part A of this study, PX-866 as a single agent was well tolerated and showed modest activity in CRPC but did not meet a priori benchmarks as a single agent in unselected patients (pts). As androgen receptor inhibition promotes PI3K activity in PTEN-loss PC models, the addition of PX-866 in patients whose PSA is rising on abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AA+P) may reverse resistance and phase B of the study tested this hypothesis clinically. Methods: In this multicentre, phase II study, CRPC pts with PSA progression on AA+P received PX-866, 8mg daily on a 6-week cycle while continuing AA+P. Primary endpoint was lack of progression at 12 weeks (PCWG2 criteria). Secondary endpoints included PSA and objective response rates. PX-866 would be deemed worthy of further study if at least four of 25 pts were progression free at 12 weeks. Results: 25 pts were accrued and all are evaluable for toxicity and PSA response. Eleven pts had measurable disease of which 11 are evaluable for objective response. Median age was 72, ECOG PS was 0/1 in 10/15 pts. Eighteen pts received prior chemotherapy. Median number of cycles was 2 (range 1–3). 52% of pts received at least 90% of planned dose of PX-866. Most common adverse events (AEs) were fatigue (21 patients), diarrhea, (18), nausea (13), vomiting (11) and anorexia (12); one patient discontinued because of protocol therapy toxicity (grade 3 anemia). Other grade 3 AEs (one patient for each) were diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, AST and ALT elevation and lymphocyte and platelet changes. Six pts were progression free at 12 weeks. No objective or PSA responses were seen. Of the pts with measurable disease, best objective response was stable disease in six (2.3-3.6m) and best PSA response was non-response in eight pts. Conclusions: The addition of PX-866 to AA+P in unselected pts progressing on AA+P shows no evidence of antitumour effects. Strategies to combine PI3K inhibition with AR targeted therapies should consider initiation earlier in the disease course and/or recruiting a selected population. Clinical trial information: NCT01331083.

5543 Background: Initial evidence suggests activity of pembro + enza in patients (pts) resistant to enza. We present results from the multicohort phase II study KEYNOTE-199 (NCT02787005) in chemotherapy-naive pts with mCRPC treated with pembro + enza after progression with enza and who had RECIST-measurable (C4) or bone-predominant (C5) disease. Methods: Pts who did or did previously receive abiraterone and for whom enza treatment failed after clinically meaningful response received pembro 200 mg Q3W, with continuation of enza for up to 2 y or until progression, toxicity, or withdrawal. End point was ORR per RECIST v1.1 (C4) by blinded independent central review (primary); DOR (C4), time to PSA progression, rPFS, OS, and safety. Results: A total of126 pts (C4, 81; C5, 45) were treated. Median (range) PSA was 31 ng/mL (0.4-1667) in C4 and 19 ng/mL (1-1750) in C5.Median (range) time from enrollment to data cut off was 15 mo (7-21) in C4 and 19 mo (7-21) in C5. In C4, ORR (95% CI) was 12% (6-22; 2 CRs, 8 PRs) and median (range) DOR was 6 mo (3+ to 13); 60% of pts had DOR ≥6 mo. DCR (CR + PR + SD) was 51% in C4 and C5. Median (95% CI) time to PSA progression was 4 mo (4-4) in C4 and 4 mo (4-4) in C5. Median (95% CI) rPFS was 4 mo (3-6) for C4 and 4 mo (3-6) for C5; 12-mo rPFS rate was 17% in C4 and 23% in C5. Median (95% CI) OS was NR (16-NR) in C4 and 19 (14-NR) mo in C5; 12-mo OS rate was 70% in C4 and 75% in C5. Shorter median OS was more associated with prior enza treatment <6 mo than with prior enza treatment ≥6 mo. Liver metastasis was associated with shorter median OS however, median OS in visceral disease subgroups appeared longer than expected. Any-grade/grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs occurred in 75%/26% of pts in C4 and 69%/24% in C5. Two pts in C5 died of immune-related AEs (Miller Fisher syndrome and myasthenia gravis). Any-grade/grade 3/4 rash (regardless of relatedness) was higher than that in prior reports for individual agents (33%/6%). Conclusions: Pembro + enza after enza resistance had manageable safety and showed antitumor activity for RECIST-measurable and bone-predominant mCRPC. This combination is being evaluated in an ongoing phase III combination trial. Clinical trial information: NCT02787005 . [Table: see text]

125 Background: AT-101 (A), a small molecule oral inhibitor of the Bcl-2 protein family has broad preclinical activity including synergy with docetaxel (D). AT-101 has demonstrated activity alone and in combination with D in D-refractory patients with metastatic CRPC. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial was conducted to compare the combination of DP with either A or placebo in chemo-naive men with progressive metastatic CRPC. A key requirement was progression (bone scan, RECIST or rising PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL) despite androgen deprivation. Stratification factors were pain and performance status. Patients received DP (75mg/m2 day 1; 5mg PO b.i.d.) Q 21 days (1 cycle) with either A (40 mg b.i.d.) or placebo PO on days 1–3. Radiological assessments were performed every 3 cycles. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and 221 patients were planned for 110 events (80% power, HR 0.67, 1-sided alpha 0.1). Results: 221 patients were randomized to ADP or placebo-DP and baseline factors were balanced. Efficacy outcomes (OS, PFS, PSA declines, disease control) were not significantly different ( Table ). In a subgroup of patients with poor-risk CRPC (n=34), efficacy endpoints appeared to favor ADP with a median OS of 19 months vs.14 months for placebo-DP. Grade 3/4 AEs that occurred with higher incidence in the ADP arm compared to placebo-DP included cardiac AEs (5% vs. 2%), lymphopenia (23% vs. 16%), neutropenia (47% vs. 40%), ileus (2% vs. 0%) and pulmonary embolism (6% vs. 2%). Conclusions: The combination of AT-101 with DP in men with chemonaive metastatic CRPC was well tolerated but did not extend OS compared to placebo-DP. There was a potential benefit in a subset of high-risk patients. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
