165 Background: Responder pts to first-line DOC, who have stopped the treatment in absence of progression, usually experience a disease progression within few months. In recent years, ReC with DOC has emerged as a therapeutic option for these pts, able to achieve again a response. The available data usually report on the clinical outcome of pts who have received one or two ReCs, but it is unclear whether more ReCs may be offered to these pts and if there is a maximum number of affordable ReCs. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical record of the pts with CRPC treated in our Department with DOC from March, 2002 to September, 2010. We selected pts who received multiple ReCs until the appearance of a true resistance to DOC: we consider as DOC-resistant pts showing a clinical and/or biochemical progression during DOC treatment. Results: We have identified a consecutive series of 26 pts, who have received a median number of 2 ReCs (range 2- 6). The median age was 68 yrs (range 58-82 yrs). The ReC consisted of DOC q 3 wks in 7 cases, DOC + estramustine q 3 wks in 38, weekly DOC + estramustine in 23. Multiple ReCs were well tolerated with no more than grade 1 hematological and non-hematological toxicities. To date, 11 pts are still DOC-sensitive (after 2-6 ReCs, median 2) and are receiving ReCs or are in the off-therapy period after ReCs. After a median follow-up of 30 months, 14 pts are dead and 12 alive. The median survival is 40 mos and the projected 3-years overall survival is 54%. Conclusions: In our experience multiple DOC ReCs may be administered in DOC-sensitive pts with CRPC. This may provide a long-term disease control with remarkable survival rate compared to those of DOC pivotal studies (19 mos) and a second line treatment may be retarded until the appearance of a true DOC-resistance.

97 Background: Cabazitaxel rechallenge could be a more efficient therapy with an acceptable toxicity than docetaxel in the treatment of patients with a metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of cabazitaxel multiple rechallenge. Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study including patients from 9 centers in France who received 3 lines or more of cabazitaxel from February 2012 to July 2020. Cabazitaxel schedule differed between patients: 25 mg/m2 q3w, 20 mg/m2 q3w, 16 mg/m2 q2w or 10 mg/m2 weekly. Efficacy was assessed by overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from each cabazitaxel line start. Only toxicities grade ≥ 3 were reported. Results: Twenty-two patients were included. The median follow-up from mCRPC was 94.7 months, median age at initial diagnosis was 59.5 years old, median ISUP score at diagnosis was 4 and median PSA at diagnosis was 55 ng/ml. Median number of cabazitaxel cycles was 7 at first-line, 6 at first rechallenge, and 5 for subsequent rechallenges. Median OS from mCRPC diagnosis was 105 months. Median PFS from cabazitaxel line start was 11.8 months at first use, 9.6 for first rechallenge and 5.6 in second rechallenge (table). Only one case of febrile neutropenia and 6 events of grade ≥ 3 toxicity were reported. Conclusions: Cabazitaxel multiple rechallenge could efficiently extend OS with manageable toxicities for patients. Even if anti-PARP therapy and immunotherapy are promising treatments, cabazitaxel rechallenge could be also a relevant therapeutic option for long responder patients. Specific biomarkers should be explored to predict the efficacy of cabazitaxel rechallenge. [Table: see text]

e602 Background: The clinical experience with CBZ in mCRPC patients (pts) has enriched notably since its approval for clinical use, but there is still a lack of well-defined prognostic/predictive factors to better characterize the profile of pts that could achieve the best therapeutic benefit. Analysis of the final expanded cohort and mature long-term follow-up are presented. Methods: Medical records from mCRPC pts progressing during or after docetaxel and treated with CBZ at 21 centres in Spain were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics, overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and toxicity were collected. Univariate and multivariate analysis of a variety of factors predicting OS were conducted. Results: 187 consecutive pts (median age 69) with intermediate-poor prognostic baseline characteristics (Table 1) received a median of 6 cycles (range 2-59) of CBZ. Median OS from first CBZ cycle was 15.3 [CI: 11.7; 18.0] months (mo) and median clinical and/or rPFS was 7.9 mo [CI: 6.8; 10.3]. Gleason score (GS) < 8 (vs ≥ 8), time under first-line androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) ( > 16.1 (median) vs < 16.1 mo) and the number of chemotherapy lines before CBZ did not significantly influence OS. Median follow-up was 9.5 mo. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 4 pts and 1 pt had neutropenic infection. Main nonhematologic grade ≥ 3 toxicities were asthenia (2.7%) and diarrhea (1.6%). Alopecia, nails disorders and peripheral neuropathy were uncommon. Conclusions: CBZ administered in the daily clinical practice is associated with consistent OS, similar to that observed in pivotal clinical trials. GS, median time under first-line ADT and number of chemotherapy lines before CBZ did not influence clinical benefit. CBZ has an acceptable safety profile. Funding: Sanofi [Table: see text]

Abstract Objective This study aimed to reveal the prognostic values of prior local therapy in first-line therapy using androgen receptor-axis targeting agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Methods The study included 303 patients treated with first-line therapy for non-metastatic and metastatic CRPC. The association between prior local therapy and therapeutic outcome including progression-free survival and overall survival was investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses as well as propensity score-matched analysis. Results In univariate analysis, local prior therapy was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.56, 95% confidence interval, 0.40–0.79; P = 0.0009). Overall survival, but not progression-free survival, was better among patients with prior local therapy compared with patients without prior local therapy even after multivariate analysis and propensity score-matched analysis. Conclusions This study robustly indicated that prior local treatment was prognostic for overall survival among patients with CRPC. This finding is useful to predict patient prognosis in CRPC.

ObjectiveTo describe the detailed clinical characteristics, immunotherapy, and long-term outcomes of patients with anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis in China.MethodsA single-center, prospective study. Patients who met the diagnostic criteria were enrolled from 2011 to 2017 and followed up. The clinical features, treatment, and long-term outcomes were collected prospectively. Factors affecting the long-term prognosis were analyzed.ResultsThe study included 220 patients. The most common clinical presentations were psychosis (82.7%) and seizures (80.9%). Of the patients, 19.5% had an underlying neoplasm; of which ovarian teratoma was 100% of tumors in females and only one male had lung cancer. Most patients (99.5%) received first-line therapy (glucocorticoids, IV immunoglobulin, or plasmapheresis alone or combined), and only 7.3% received second-line immunotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide alone, or combined). Long-term immunotherapy (mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine >1 year) was administered to 53.2% of patients. During the first 12 months, 207 (94.1%) patients experienced improvement, and 5 (2.3%) died, whereas 38 (17.3%) experienced relapses. At 12-month follow-up, 92.7% had favorable clinical outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2).ConclusionsPatients in China present with psychosis and seizure frequently but have a low percentage of underlying neoplasms. Re-enforced first-line immunotherapy is effective in managing anti-NMDAR encephalitis in the acute phase. Although relapse is relatively common, with combined first-line and long-term immunotherapy, most patients reached favorable outcomes.

Abstract Purpose Radioimmunotherapy combines biologic and radiolytic mechanisms to target and destroy tumor cells. 90Y-Ibritumomab-Tiuxetan (90YIT) is a murine anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody engaged for radioimmunotherapeutic targeting of CD20+ lymphoma cells. We report on our long-term follow-up data of 90YIT as first-line or consolidation treatment in advanced stage follicular Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (FL). Patients & Methods Between March 2004 and October 2010, forty-seven patients with CD20+ FL grade 1 to 3a in stages II, III, or IV were treated with a single dose of 90Yttrium-Ibritumomab-Tiuxetan (90YIT) at our institution. The median age was 61 years (range 41-83; male 55%) and 77% (n=36) of patients were in an advanced stage of the disease (stage III/IV). 90YIT was administered on an outpatient basis on day 8 after pretreatment with Rituximab (250mg/m²) on day 1. A mean of 1122 MBq (range 680-240) 90YIT was administered. Fourteen patients received 90YIT as first-line therapy, twenty-seven patients were treated with 90YIT after a median of 2 pretreatment courses (range 1-5) as consolidation therapy in remission (15 patients in CR, 12 patients in PR), and six patients showed progressive disease (PD) at time of 90YIT treatment. Median follow-up was 61 months (range 0-111). Results After a median follow-up of 61 months (range 0-111 months), 32 patients are still alive, including 21 patients in CR since 90YIT treatment. There was no significant difference concerning PFS and OS between first-line treatment and consolidation treatment, but we found a significant difference, comparing these two groups versus PD (PFS 51 months vs. 48 months vs. 8 months, p<0.023; OS 59 months vs. 71 months vs. 10 months, p<0.002) (figure 1 & 2). Survival rates were 85% (first-line), 67% (consolidation) and 33% (PD), respectively. Patients who maintained a CR after 90YIT treatment, showed significantly longer OS compared to patients with relapse after 90YIT (71 months vs. 52 months, p<0.001). No significant difference in PFS and OS was seen, concerning sex, age, or clinical stage. No unexpected toxicities emerged during long-term follow-up. Conclusion 90YIT as first-line, as well as consolidation therapy after achieving at least PR, provides a cost-efficient, long progression-free and overall survival in advanced stage FL. No benefit is shown in patients with PD, where we don't recommend 90YIT treatment. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

173 Background: ECarboF chemotherapy is an active first line chemotherapy treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. We have now investigated its efficacy and toxicity in patients who have progressed during or after docetaxel chemotherapy. Methods: 37 patients with metastatic prostate cancer who had received ECarboF chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed from a five year period (2005-2010). All patients had previously received first-line docetaxel chemotherapy and had either progressed following treatment (n=17) or were docetaxel refractory (n=20). Patients received epirubicin 50mg/m2 iv d1, carboplatin (AUC 5) d1, fluorouracil 440mg/m2 d1, d15 and folinic acid 20mg/m2 d1, d15 on a q4w cycle. 20% dose reductions were made for the first cycle in patients with poorer performance status. PSA was measured before each cycle of treatment and all patients were assessed for toxicity. Results: Patients had a median age of 70 years (range 48-77), median baseline PSA of 226.5 ng/mL (range 9.6-1,580) and the median number of ECarboF chemotherapy cycles received was 6 (range 1-10). 65% (n=24) of patients were ECOG 0-1, the remaining 35% (n=13) were ECOG 2-3. 16% (n=6) patients had a ≥ 30% decline in PSA and 16% (n=6) patients had a ≥ 50% decline in PSA. 35% (n=13) of patients experienced grade 3/4 toxicity, most commonly anaemia (13.5%), neutropenia (13.5%) and thrombocytopenia (8.1%) with one treatment related death (neutropenic sepsis) during the five year period analysed. Median time to PSA progression was 5.1 months. Conclusions: ECarboF has activity with acceptable toxicity post docetaxel in the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. Although PSA response rates are modest, the time to progression is comparable to that of more toxic regimens. ECarboF should be considered as an active second-line chemotherapy regimen.
