4558 Background: AA, a selective androgen biosynthesis inhibitor, blocks the action of CYP17, thereby inhibiting adrenal and intratumoral androgen production. AA has demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) by 4.6 months (mos) vs placebo (HR=0.74) in patients (pts) previously treated with D. Methods: COU-AA-301 is a randomized double blind study of AA (1 g) + P (5 mg po BID) vs placebo + P administered to mCRPC pts post-D with a primary endpoint of OS. To further evaluate primary survival result robustness, we performed post hoc exploratory analyses to assess whether the timing of first and last dose of D and reason for D discontinuation impacted OS. Results: At randomization, treatment arms were balanced with respect to baseline characteristics, prior D use, and reasons for discontinuation. In both arms, almost half (45%) discontinued D due to progressive disease (PD); remainder discontinued D after completing all planned cycles (37%), due to toxicity (12%), or for other reasons (5%) per investigator. Median OS from first and last dose of D were longer with AA vs placebo (Table). Median OS was longer with AA vs placebo in pts who discontinued D for PD, or for all other reasons. Conclusions: These exploratory analyses suggest that the OS benefit of AA in mCRPC was maintained when calculated from first or last dose of prior D, and whether or not pts discontinued D for PD. Pts in AA arm of this study had a prolonged median OS of > 32 mos from time of initial D therapy. Congruity among these analyses and lack of dependence on D timing demonstrate robustness of the primary survival result. [Table: see text]

Median OS from first and last dose of D were longer with AA vs placebo (Table). Median OS was longer with AA vs placebo in pts who discontinued D for PD or for all other reasons.

4 Background: AA is a selective androgen biosynthesis inhibitor that blocks the action of CYP17. Preclinical and early clinical studies suggest that AA potently inhibits persistent androgen synthesis from adrenal and intratumoral sources, thus suppressing an important growth stimulus for mCRPC. Methods: COU-AA-301 ( NCT00638690 ) is an international, randomized, double blind study of AA (1,000 mg + P 5 mg po BID) vs placebo + P administered to men with mCRPC progressing after docetaxel-based chemo. OS is the primary endpoint. Patients treated with previous ketoconazole or > 2 prior chemo regimens were excluded. Results: Data are drawn from a planned, stratified interim analysis, unblinded in August 2010, based on significant OS improvement in the AA + P treatment group compared to the placebo + P group [median OS 14.8 vs.10.9 months; HR = 0.646 (0.54-0.77), P < 0.0001]. A subgroup analysis for OS is presented in the table. Mineralocorticoid- related AEs were more common in the AA arm vs placebo: fluid retention 30.5% vs 22.3%, hypokalemia 17.1% vs 8.4%; but grade 3/4 hypokalemia (3.8% vs 0.8%), and grade 3/4 hypertension (1.3% vs 0.3%) were infrequent. LFT abnormalities were observed in 10.4% AA vs 8.1% placebo; and cardiac disorders were observed in 13.3% AA vs 10.4% placebo. Conclusions: AA significantly prolongs OS in patients with mCRPC who have progressed after docetaxel-based chemo. AA's favorable treatment effect on OS, observed across multiple patient subgroups (HR range 0.59 – 0.74 vs placebo + P), was consistent with the survival benefit for the overall study population.

Despite recent advances, treatment options for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) progressing after next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs) are limited and provide only modest survival benefit. Thus, an unmet need remains for mCRPC patients after treatment with targeted endocrine therapy or NHA therapy. Pembrolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody for PD-1, has been found to have activity as monotherapy in patients with mCRPC and as combination therapy in a Phase Ib/II study with docetaxel and prednisone/prednisolone for patients previously treated with enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate. The aim of the randomized, double-blind, Phase III KEYNOTE-921 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel in patients with mCRPC who were previously treated with an NHA. Clinical trial registration: NCT03834506 ( ClinicalTrials.gov )

Background: In the PROSELICA phase III trial (NCT01308580), cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (CABA20) was non-inferior to cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 (CABA25) in mCRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel (DOC). The present post hoc analysis evaluates how the type of progression at randomization affected outcomes. Methods: Progression type at randomization was defined as follows: PSA progression only (PSA-p; no radiological progression (RADIO-p), no pain), RADIO-p (±PSA-p, no pain), or pain progression (PAIN-p, ±PSA-p, ±RADIO-p). Relationships between progression type and overall survival (OS), radiological progression-free survival (rPFS), and PSA response (confirmed PSA decrease ≥ 50%) were analyzed. Results: All randomized patients (n = 1200) had received prior DOC, and 25.7% had received prior abiraterone or enzalutamide. Progression type at randomization was evaluable in 1075 patients (PSA-p = 24.4%, RADIO-p = 20.8%, PAIN-p = 54.8%). Pain progression was associated with clinical and biological features of aggressive disease. Median OS from CABA initiation or date of mCRPC diagnosis, all arms combined, was shorter in the PAIN-p group than in the RADIO-p or the PSA-p groups (12.0 versus 16.8 and 18.4 months, respectively, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, all arms combined, PAIN-p was an independent predictor of poor OS (HR = 1.44, p < 0.001). PSA response, rPFS, and OS were numerically higher with CABA25 versus CABA20 in patients with PAIN-p. Conclusions: This post hoc analysis of the PROSELICA phase III study shows that pain progression at initiation of CABA in mCRPC patients previously treated with DOC is associated with a poor prognosis. Disease progression should be carefully monitored, even in the absence of PSA rise.

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.
