4551 Background: Ra-223, a 1st-in-class alpha-pharmaceutical, targets bone metastases (mets) with high-energy alpha-particles of short range (<100 μm). ALSYMPCA, a phase III, double-blind, randomized, multinational study, compared Ra-223 plus best standard of care (BSC) v placebo (pbo) plus BSC in patients (pts) with bone mets in CRPC. The primary endpoint was OS; secondary endpoints included SREs and ECOG PS. Methods: Eligible pts had progressive, symptomatic CRPC with ≥ 2 bone mets on scintigraphy and no known visceral mets; were receiving BSC; and either previously received docetaxel, were docetaxel ineligible, or refused docetaxel. Pts were randomized 2:1 to 6 injections of Ra‑223 (50 kBq/kg IV) q4 wks or matching pbo and stratified by prior docetaxel use, baseline ALP level, and current bisphosphonate use. Results: 921 pts were randomized from 6/2008-2/2011. In a planned interim analysis (n = 809), Ra-223 significantly improved OS v pbo (median OS 14.0 v 11.2 mo, respectively; two-sided P = .00185; HR = .695; 95% CI, .552-.875).SREs were lower in the Ra-223 v pbo group, and time to 1st SRE was significantly delayed (median time to SRE 13.6 mo v 8.4 mo, respectively; P = .00046; HR = .610; 95% CI, .461-.807). The proportion of pts with ECOG PS deterioration (≥ 2 points) was less in Ra-223 v pbo group at Wk 12 and Wk 24 (4%, 15/389 v 9%, 16/180 and 7%, 16/236 v 12%, 10/83, respectively). Time to ECOG PS deterioration (≥ 2 points) was significantly delayed by Ra-223 v pbo (P = .003; HR = .62; 95% CI, .46-.85). Conclusions: Ra-233 significantly delayed time to 1st SRE and SRE components, notably SCC. Fewer pts in the Ra-223 group had ECOG PS deterioration. Ra-223 improves OS with excellent safety and may provide a new standard of care for CRPC pts with bone mets. [Table: see text]

Results: 922 pts (Ra-223, n = 615; pbo, n = 307) were randomized from 6/2008-2/2011. Based on data from a planned interim analysis (n = 809), unblinded June 2011, Ra-223 significantly improved OS in pts with CRPC with bone mets vs pbo (median OS 14.0 vs 11.2 mo, respectively; two-sided P = 0.00185; HR = 0.695; 95% CI, 0.552-0.875). SREs were lower in the Ra-223 vs pbo group, and time to 1st SRE was significantly delayed (median time to SRE 13.6 mo vs 8.4 mo, respectively; P = .00046; HR = .610; 95% CI, .461-.807). Conclusions: Ra-223 significantly delayed time to 1st SRE and SRE components, except surgical intervention. These reductions in SREs, particularly SCC, are noteworthy. Ra-223 is an effective therapy with a highly favorable safety profile and may provide a new standard of care for treatment of CRPC pts with bone mets. [Table: see text]

11 Background: Ra-223 is a first-in-class alpha-pharmaceutical targeting bone metastases (mets) with high-energy, short-range (< 100 μm) alpha-particles. In the phase 3, double-blind, randomized, multinational ALSYMPCA study, Ra-223 significantly improved OS in CRPC patients (pts) with bone mets by a median increase of 3.6 months compared with placebo (median OS: 14.9 vs 11.3 mo; P < 0.001; HR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.58-0.83). An updated analysis of the SRE secondary endpoint is presented. Methods: Eligible pts had progressive, symptomatic CRPC with ≥ 2 bone mets on scintigraphy and no known visceral mets; were receiving best standard of care (BSoC); and either previously received docetaxel, or did not because they were docetaxel ineligible, or refused docetaxel. Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive 6 injections of Ra‑223 (50 kBq/kg IV) q4wk or matching placebo and stratified by prior docetaxel use, baseline alkaline phosphatase level, and current bisphosphonate use. Results: 921 pts were randomized (Ra-223, n = 614; placebo, n = 307); 40% had >20 mets. Ra-223 significantly delayed time to first SRE versus placebo by a median increase of 5.8 months (median time to SRE: 15.6 vs 9.8 mo; P < 0.001; HR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.52-0.83). Ra-223 also reduced the risk of time to first event for all 4 SRE components versus placebo. Conclusions: Ra-223 significantly delayed time to first SRE with a reduction in risk observed for all 4 SRE components. Despite the longer time at risk, Ra-223 patients had an approximately 50% reduction in risk for SCC. Ra-223 is an effective therapy with a highly favorable safety profile and may provide a new standard of care for treatment of CRPC pts with bone mets. Clinical trial information: NCT00699751.

LBA4512 Background: Radium-223 chloride (Ra-223), a targeted alpha-emitter, targets bone metastases (mets) with high-energy alpha-particles of short range (<100 µm). ALSYMPCA, a phase III double-blind, randomized, multinational study, compared Ra-223 plus best standard of care (BSC) vs placebo plus BSC in CRPC patients (pts) with bone mets. In a planned interim analysis (n = 809), based on 314 events, Ra-223 significantly improved overall survival (OS) vs placebo (median 14.0 mo vs 11.2 mo, respectively; HR = .695; 95% CI, .552-.875; 2-sided p = .00185). Secondary endpoints were met and Ra-223 safety was favorable. An updated analysis was conducted prior to the crossover to further assess the effect of Ra-223 on the primary endpoint (OS), secondary endpoints including skeletal-related events (SREs), and safety. Methods: Eligible pts had confirmed symptomatic CRPC with ≥ 2 bone mets; no known visceral mets; and were post-docetaxel, unfit for docetaxel, or had declined docetaxel. Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive 6 injections of Ra-223 (50 kBq/kg IV) q4wks or matching placebo. An updated descriptive analysis of OS, based on 528 events, was performed including data from all randomized pts prior to implementing crossover to Ra-223 for placebo pts. Results: 921 pts (Ra-223, n = 614; placebo, n = 307) were randomized from 6/2008-2/2011. Ra‑223 significantly improved OS vs placebo (median 14.9 mo vs 11.3 mo, respectively; HR = .695; 95% CI, .581-.832; p = 0.00007), and time to first SRE was significantly prolonged (median 15.6 mo vs 9.8 mo, respectively; HR = 0.658; 95% CI, 0.522-0.830; p = 0.00037). Safety and tolerability of Ra-223 remained favorable, with low myelosuppression (e.g., gr 3/4 neutropenia in 2.2% and 0.7% and gr 3/4 thrombocytopenia in 6.3% and 2% of the Ra-223 and placebo groups, respectively). Conclusions: On updated analysis, the median OS benefit for Ra-223 increased from 2.8 to 3.6 months, with a hazard ratio of 0.695 (i.e., 30.5% reduction in risk of death). Ra-223 is an effective therapy that improves OS and time to first SRE with a highly favorable safety profile, and may provide a new standard of care for CRPC pts with bone mets.

8 Background: Radium-223 chloride (Ra-223) is a first-in-class alpha-pharmaceutical targeting bone metastases (mets) with high-energy alpha-particles of extremely short range (<100 μm). ALSYMPCA, a phase III, double-blind, randomized, multinational study, compared efficacy, in terms of overall survival (OS), and safety of Ra-223 plus best standard of care (BSC) vs placebo plus BSC in patients (pts) with bone mets in CRPC. Methods: Eligible pts had progressive, symptomatic CRPC with ≥ 2 bone mets on scintigraphy and no known visceral mets; were receiving BSC; and either previously received docetaxel, were docetaxel ineligible, or refused docetaxel. Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive 6 injections of Ra‐223 (50 kBq/kg IV) q4 wks or matching placebo and stratified by prior docetaxel use, baseline alkaline phosphatase level, and current bisphosphonate use. A planned interim analysis (IA) was conducted to assess the effect of Ra-223 on the primary endpoint (OS) using a predefined threshold. Survival data were compared using a stratified log-rank test. Results: 922 pts (Ra-223, n = 615; placebo, n = 307) were randomized from 6/2008-2/2011. 445 (58%) of 809 pts in the IA data set received prior treatment with docetaxel. Ra-223 significantly improved OS in pts with CRPC with bone mets vs placebo (two-sided P = 0.00185; HR = 0.695; 95% CI, 0.552-0.875; median OS 14.0 mo vs 11.2 mo, respectively). Safety and tolerability of Ra-223 were highly favorable and showed low incidence of myelosuppression (eg, grades 3/4 neutropenia in 1.8% and 0.8% and thrombocytopenia in 4% and 2% of the Ra-223 and placebo groups, respectively). Conclusions: Ra-223 is an effective therapy that improved OS with a highly favorable safety profile, and may provide a new standard of care for the treatment of CRPC pts with bone mets.

49 Background: Radium-223 (Alpharadin) is a first-in-class alpha-pharmaceutical. It targets bone metastases with high-energy alpha-radiation of extremely short range that spares bone marrow. Radium-223 has a profound effect on serum markers of bone metabolism, including ALP, in patients with bone metastases from CRPC. In an exploratory analysis, we studied whether this effect is associated with a meaningful clinical benefit. Methods: Patients with CRPC and bone metastases were treated in 2 randomized phase II studies. BC1-02 was a placebo-controlled study of radium-223 (50 kBq/kg) every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. BC1-04 evaluated radium-223 (25, 50, or 80 kBq/kg) every 6 weeks for 12 weeks. Baseline total ALP values > 128 U/L were considered elevated; those decreasing to below 128 U/L during treatment with radium-223 were defined as normalized, and those remaining above that value as non-normalized. Results: In BC1-02, ALP normalization was seen in 12/26 (46%) patients treated with radium-223. Median survivals of those with and without ALP normalization were 102 weeks and 42 weeks, respectively (log-rank P < 0.001). In BC1-04, ALP normalization was seen in 25/75 (33%) cases: 5/29 (17%) in the 25 kBq/kg group, 10/25 (40%) with 50 kBq/kg, and 10/21 (48%) with 80 kBq/kg, indicating a dose-response relationship. Median survivals for the 25 patients with, and the 50 patients without, ALP normalization were 102 weeks and 58 weeks, respectively (log-rank P = 0.0086). Conclusions: Inpatients with metastatic CRPC and bone metastases treated with radium-223, ALP normalization was associated with significantly better overall survival. These data support the rationale for the ongoing ALSYMPCA phase III trial of radium-223. [Table: see text]

5037 Background: BTT can delay symptomatic progression in cancer pts with bone metastases. In a post hoc analysis, we assessed the impact of concomitant BTT on outcomes in a recent large, multinational study in mCRPC pts without prior ctx. Methods: COU-AA-302 was a phase III trial in asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic pts with progressive mCRPC and no prior ctx. 1,088 pts were stratified by ECOG performance status (ECOG-PS, 0 vs 1) and randomized 1:1 to AA 1 g or placebo QD, plus prednisone 5 mg BID. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) were primary end points; secondary end points were times to opiate use, ctx, ECOG-PS deterioration, and PSA progression. The effect of concomitant use of BTT on all end points was assessed retrospectively using a stratified Cox regression model with factors for treatment, concomitant BTT, interaction of treatment and BTT, and baseline covariates. All data were obtained from a prespecified interim analysis at 55% OS events. Results: Median follow-up at the time of analysis was 27.1 mos. Among intent-to-treat (ITT) pts, 184/546 AA and 169/542 P pts received concomitant BTT for treatment of bone metastases, either zoledronic acid (n = 330), other bisphosphonates (n = 16), denosumab (n = 22), and/or other BTT (n = 5). In these pts, concomitant BTT use was associated with improved OS, time to opiate use for cancer pain, and time to ECOG-PS deterioration (Table). Results were similar in a sensitivity analysis including only ITT pts with bone metastases at baseline. Conclusions: In this post hoc, exploratory analysis, concomitant BTT use was associated with delayed symptomatic progression in asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic mCRPC pts. This potential clinical benefit should be investigated in prospective studies. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198. [Table: see text]

TPS264 Background: TALA is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that inhibits PARP1/2 and traps PARP on DNA, preventing DNA damage repair (DDR) and causing death of cells with DDR mutations (eg BRCA1/2). TALA is approved in multiple countries for germline BRCA1/2-mutated HER2- advanced breast cancer. ENZA is an established therapy for CRPC. PARP1 activity has been shown to support AR function, suggesting that co-blockade of PARP1 may synergize with AR-directed therapy, regardless of DDR deficiency. A combination of TALA with ENZA in mCRPC may improve clinical outcomes in patients with or without DDR-deficient tumors. TALAPRO-2 (NCT03395197) is a 2-part study to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient (pt)-reported outcomes (PROs) of the combination. Methods: Enrollment goal is 1037 pts (19 pts, part 1 dose-finding; 1,018 pts, part 2 placebo-controlled). Key eligibility criteria: age ≥18 y, asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic mCRPC, ECOG performance status ≤1, no brain metastases, and no prior life-prolonging systemic therapy in nonmetastatic CRPC or mCRPC state. Prior docetaxel or novel hormonal therapy (excluding novel AR inhibitors) in castration sensitive (CSPC) setting is allowed. The randomized double-blind portion will evaluate safety, efficacy, and PROs of TALA (0.5 mg QD) + ENZA (160 mg QD) vs placebo + ENZA (160 mg QD). Randomization is stratified by prior NHT or docetaxel for CSPC (yes/no) and DDR mutation status (deficient vs nondeficient/unknown). The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), defined as time to progression in soft tissue per RECIST v.1.1 or in bone per PCWG3 criteria or death. The key secondary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Efficacy will be assessed by radiography every 8 weeks up to week 25 and every 8–12 weeks thereafter. rPFS will be compared between two arms by a 1-sided stratified log-rank test. Pt recruitment is ongoing in multiple regions including US, Europe/Eastern Europe, Israel, South America, South Africa, and Asia Pacific region. This study was sponsored by Pfizer Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT03395197.

Purpose Tasquinimod, a novel oral therapy targeting the tumor microenvironment, significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in a randomized, placebo-controlled phase II trial in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This phase III study was conducted to confirm the phase II results and to detect an overall survival (OS) benefit. Patients and Methods Men with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC and evidence of bone metastases were assigned (2:1) to receive tasquinimod once per day or placebo until progression or toxicity. The primary end point was radiographic PFS (rPFS; time from random assignment to radiologic progression or death) per Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 criteria and RECIST 1.1. The study had 99.9% power to detect an rPFS hazard ratio (HR) of 0.6 with a two-sided alpha error of .05 and 80% power to detect a target HR of 0.8 for OS, the key secondary end point. Results In all, 1,245 patients were randomly assigned to either tasquinimod (n = 832) or placebo (n = 413) between March 2011 and December 2012 at 241 sites in 37 countries. Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups: median age, 71 years; Karnofsky performance status ≥ 90%, 77.3%; and visceral metastases, 21.1%. Estimated median rPFS by central review was 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.8 to 8.2 months) with tasquinimod and 4.4 months (95% CI, 3.5 to 5.5 months) with placebo (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.75; P < .001). Median OS was 21.3 months (95% CI, 19.5 to 23.0 months) with tasquinimod and 24.0 months (95% CI, 21.4 to 26.9 months) with placebo (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.94 to 1.28; P = .25). Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were more frequent with tasquinimod (42.8% v 33.6%), the most common being anemia, fatigue, and cancer pain. Conclusion In chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC, tasquinimod significantly improved rPFS compared with placebo. However, no OS benefit was observed.
