5010 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA), an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor, prolongs overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients and is approved for use in this population. The relationship of PSA kinetics to rPFS was evaluated in an exploratory analysis of patients from COU-AA-302, a randomized phase III study of AA in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients. Methods: 1,088 patients were randomized 1:1 to AA (1 g) + prednisone (P) (5 mg BID) or P alone. rPFS and OS were co-primary endpoints. rPFS was defined as time to first occurrence of bone scan progression by PCWG2 criteria, progression by CT/MRI by modified RECIST 1.0 criteria, or death from any cause; PSA changes were not a factor in determining rPFS. Quartiles of baseline PSA and % PSA decrease from baseline to nadir were analyzed. Stratified Cox regression models were used with factors for treatment, PSA outcomes, and baseline covariates performed at 55% of OS events. Results: 54/546 patients (10%) in AA + P arm achieved undetectable PSA vs 14/542 patients (3%) in the P arm; at median follow-up of 27.1 mos, radiographic progression was observed in 28% (AA + P) vs 50% of patients (P). There was a consistent trend of decreasing hazard of progression with decreasing baseline PSA and increasing % PSA decline (Table). Treatment effect of AA + P vs P with decreasing baseline PSA or % PSA decline remained significant (p=0.001) after adjusting for other factors (PSA, LDH, alk phos, hemoglobin, bone metastasis) in the model. Conclusions: rPFS was positively associated with the magnitude of PSA decline and inversely associated with baseline PSA. These effects remained after correcting for covariates. In all analyses, treatment with AA led to rPFS outcomes superior to P. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198. [Table: see text]

135 Background: Many patients with biochemical relapse after definitive therapy for prostate cancer receive androgen deprivation therapy. Although most patients experience a decline in PSA, PSA eventually rises despite a castrate level of testosterone. Many of these patients have non-metastatic disease and do not develop metastases for a median of 30 mos (Smith MR. JCO, 2005). However, there is no standard therapy for asymptomatic patients with non-metastatic CRPC. ENTHUSE M0 (Study 15) is an ongoing global phase III study comparing zibotentan 10 mg (an oral specific endothelin A receptor antagonist) vs placebo in non-metastatic CRPC patients. Co-primary endpoints are overall survival and progression-free survival; secondary endpoints are safety, PSA, quality of life, and time to symptomatic progression. Eligible patients are screened for metastases by bone and CT/MRI scan and other parameters. An unexpectedly high number of patients failed screening, prompting this analysis. Methods: All patients who were screened were included in the analysis. Reasons for exclusion were recorded. Results: As of June 3, 2010, 1,756 patients completed screening. Of these patients, 960 (55%) were randomized and 796 (45%) failed screening. The leading causes of screen failures are listed in the table. Exclusion rates by investigator specialty and country will be reported. Conclusions: As 30% of patients had metastatic disease on screening and were excluded, these data suggest that the frequency of asymptomatic metastases is high in men thought to have non-metastatic CRPC. These findings stress the value of periodic staging studies in men progressing from hormone sensitive to non-metastatic CRPC as metastatic CRPC patients may benefit from standard treatments or research treatments on other protocols.

168 Background: Treatment patterns of mCRPC have changed substantially in the last few years. In COU-AA-302 (chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC), abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AA) significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival vs placebo plus prednisone (P). There is limited information about treatment patterns after AA. In this post hoc analysis of pts in the AA treatment arm who progressed, we characterized subsequent therapy after pts discontinued study drug. Methods: In COU-AA-302, 546 pts were randomized and received AA. Treatment patterns of pts receiving ≥ 1 subsequent therapy for mCRPC after progressing on AA were collected retrospectively and source verified. Results: As of March 2014, 8% (44/546) of pts continued on AA; 67% (365/546) received ≥ 1 subsequent therapy for mCRPC. 36% (194/546) and 15% (83/546) of pts had ≥ 2 and ≥ 3 subsequent therapies, respectively. 80% (435/543) of pts in the P arm had ≥ 1 subsequent therapy. Most frequent subsequent therapy in AA pts was taxane chemotherapy (docetaxel [DOC], cabazitaxel [CBZ]), androgen signaling–directed therapy (AA, enzalutamide [ENZ], ketoconazole [KETO]), and immunotherapy (sipuleucel-T [SIP-T]) (Table). Among AA pts who received DOC as first subsequent therapy, median age was 69 years; median duration of DOC post-AA (n = 261) was 3 months (IQR: 0.95-5.7); and PSA progression was the most common reason for discontinuation. Among AA pts with baseline PSA and ≥ 1 post-baseline PSA value, 40% (40/100) had ≥ 50% PSA decline (27/100 confirmed responses) with first subsequent DOC chemotherapy. Conclusions: This post hoc analysis indicates that treatment with subsequent therapy was common (67% and 80%) in pts with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC who progressed with AA or P, respectively. PSA decline suggests antitumor activity in pts who progressed with AA and received subsequent DOC. Despite limitations of a retrospective analysis, these data support further assessment of subsequent therapy following AA treatment for mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198.

239 Background: In the COU-AA-302 trial, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) resulted in extension of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival in chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients compared to prednisone alone. However, limited data on AAP treatment and outcomes is available in the real-world in this setting. The aim of this study is to describe the duration of AAP treatment in routine clinical practice in mCRPC patients prior to chemotherapy. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective chart review of mCRPC patients identified through oncology and urology practice in Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. This first analysis reports baseline patient characteristics at AAP initiation for the first 224 patients. Treatment duration, PFS and rPFS were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Potential factors associated with treatment duration were explored using the log-rank test. Results: Data from 224 mCRPC patients treated with AAP (Belgium: 67; Germany: 150; UK: 7; none from France) across 19 centres was considered in this initial analysis. At baseline, the median age was 75.5 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 69.0-82.0) and the median PSA level was 50.0 ng/mL (IQR: 21.0-121.0). Patients with visceral metastases (9.8%) and ECOG 2-3 (9.4%) were included in this study, in contrast to those included in the COU-AA-302 study. Median duration of AAP treatment was 11.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.2-12.8), whilst median PFS and rPFS were 11.9 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.3) and 16.5 months (95% CI: 13.5-20.0), respectively. Reasons for discontinuing AAP involved PSA progression (52.2%), radiographic progression (38.9%), symptomatic progression (27.8%), non-toxic death (19.4%) and toxicity (2.2%). Treatment duration was significantly longer in mCRPC patients with either baseline ECOG status 0, lower PSA, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, or lactate dehydrogenase levels (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest similar treatment duration and rPFS for mCRPC patients in this real-life cohort with poorer clinical features compared to those observed in the COU-AA-302 trial population.

e16541 Background: PSA is a widely used biomarker for monitoring outcome in mCRPC. Current treatment guidelines do not consider PSA progression before at least 12 weeks of treatment, and recommend treatment continuation in pts experiencing progression by PSA only, without radiographic or clinicall progression. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of a PSA progression in mCRPC pts treated with first-line therapy. Methods: We analyzed the value of a PSA progression (PSAProg) at cycle 5 in pts treated in the COU-AA-302 trial. PSAProg was defined as an increase ≥ 25% and ≥ 2 ng/mL from baseline, confirmed by a second reading. Radiographic progression (RadProg) was defined as per PCWG2 criteria for bone scan or RECIST progression. Survival and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) from the time of PSAProg was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox-regression models were used to evaluate the impact of PSAProg and treatment arm on survival. Results: 1088 pts were randomized in the COU-AA-302 trial. 908 pts (83.5%) had valid baseline and cycle 5 PSA values. Of these, 222 (24.4%) pts experienced PSAProg, which was confirmed in 195 (21.5%) pts; 45/479 (9.4%) of abiraterone and 150/429 (35%) of placebo-treated pts. A confirmed PSAProg was associated with shorter survival (37.8 vs 26m; HR: 1.8; p < 0.001) and rPFS (13.9 vs 5.6m; HR:2.1; p < 0.001). Median survival from the time of PSAProg was 22.2m (95%CI:18.9-25.4). Abiraterone-treated pts had a significantly longer survival from the time of PSAProg (23.1 vs 17.4m; HR: 0.64; p = 0.018). 111 pts (56,9%) experienced PSAprog without RadProg; in pts with PSAprog only, median time to RadProg was 7.4m (95%CI:7.1-12.9). No differences in rPFS from the time of PSAprog were observed in abiraterone vs placebo-treated pts (HR: 0.99; p = 0.963). Conclusions: 9.4% of abiraterone-treated pts in the COU-AA-302 trial experienced PSAProg at 12 weeks (cycle 5 day 1). PSAProg was associated with significantly worse survival. Abiraterone increased survival from the time of PSAProg, which supports its continued use in pts with PSA progression only at 12 weeks. This study was carried out under YODA Project #2018-3011.

242 Background: In the present guidelines for the management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), it is unclear who benefits from androgen receptor axis-targeted agents (ARATs) or docetaxel as a first-line treatment. Methods: We conducted a single-institutional retrospective study to explore treatment-specific biomarkers for treatment response of metastatic CRPC. A cohort of 211 patients with metastatic CRPC treated with either ARAT (abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide) or docetaxel as a first-line treatment was evaluated. In addition to well-established biomarkers such as hemoglobin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase, we also assessed red cell distribution width, platelet count, and mean platelet volume (MPV). Laboratory measures were assessed within 1 month before starting treatment. Prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and radiographic progression-free survival (RPFS) were evaluated. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to assess the association between biomarkers and the risk of events. We also studied the statistical interaction between biomarkers and clinical outcomes. Results: Of all blood-based biomarkers, multivariable Cox regression models identified pre-treatment MPV (≤9.0 fL) as an independent prognostic factor of both PSA progression (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-5.48, P = 0.011) and radiographic progression (HR: 4.46, 95% CI: 1.79-11.1, P = 0.001). In addition, these models showed a lower risk of PSA progression (HR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.15-0.96, P = 0.041) and radiographic progression (HR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.05-0.50, P = 0.002) with docetaxel compared with ARAT when pre-treatment MPV was small. Conclusions: The present study identified MPV as a significant treatment-specific prognostic factor of PSA progression and radiographic progression in patients with metastatic CRPC treated with a first-line treatment. Furthermore, our results suggested that small MPV was associated with superior survival benefit on docetaxel over ARAT.

5004 Background: ERG rearrangements result in androgen receptor-modulated up-regulation of ERG and may predict for AA response in mCRPC. Concordance has been shown between ERG status in archival samples and fresh CRPC biopsies (Attard et al., Cancer Res. 2009;69:2912). In this prospectively defined biomarker sub-study, the association between ERG subtypes and clinical outcome in chemo-naïve mCRPC pts receiving AA was evaluated. Methods: COU-AA-302 is a randomized double blind study of AA (1 g) + prednisone (P) (5 mg BID) vs placebo + P in chemo-naïve mCRPC. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays to evaluate ERG subtypes (Attard et al., Oncogene. 2008;27:253) were conducted on 524 archival prostate tissue samples (365 biopsies, 107 RPEs, 44 TURPs, 3 bone marrows, 5 lymph nodes) from 497 pts. Clinical outcome measures included radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) (central [CEN] and investigator [INV] reviewed), time to PSA progression (TTPP), and PSA ≥ 50% decline. Cox regression was used to evaluate association with time to event endpoints and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel for PSA response. Results: 337 of 497 pts with tumor samples had evaluable FISH results. An ERG rearrangement was present in 117 of 337 (35%) pts. 112 pts were class Edel, 50 were 2+Edel (interstitial deletion with duplication of fusion sequences) and 18 were ESplit. A trend for an association with greater improved rPFS (CEN) and TTPP in 2+ Edel pts treated with AA + P vs ERG non-rearranged was observed (22 months [m] vs 16 m [HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.30-1.16], p = 0.12, and 14 m vs 8 m [HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.41-1.15], p = 0.15, respectively). No differences in 2+ Edel vs ERG non-rearranged were observed in the P-alone arm. No association between any ERG sub-class and either rPFS [INV] or PSA ≥ 50% decline in either treatment arm was observed. Conclusions: This represents the largest study to date to molecularly characterize CRPC pts participating in a therapeutic phase 3 trial. These data suggest that chemo-naïve mCRPC pts with a 2+ Edel rearrangement may derive a slightly greater benefit from AA and P than other pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198.

5066 Background: Somatic DRD deficiency in 15-30% of mCRPC pts have been observed and inhibition of enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) could prove beneficial. We aimed to define DRD status using plasma from pts treated on AA and evaluate associations with prospectively-collected outcome measures. Methods: Plasma DNA samples (128 baseline [BL], 134 cycle 2 day 1 [C2D1], 46 progression [PROG]) from chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC pts in a phase 2 study (NCT01867710) evaluating AA+P/D were subjected to custom target-capture next-generation sequencing. DRD assay was optimized and validated to detect pathogenic point mutations, small insertions/deletions, and copy number alternations (DRD+) in 8 DRD genes: BRCA1, BRCA2, FANCA, ATM, CHEK2, HDAC2, BRIP1, and PALB2. Analysis for genomic aberrations was a secondary exploratory objective. Associations with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and radiographic PFS (rPFS) were assessed using Cox regression models and Kaplan Meier analyses. Results: 11.7% of BL and 17.4% of PROG were DRD+. Bi-allelic was observed in 73.3% of BL DRD+ samples. Shorter PFS was observed in BL DRD+ vs DRD- (5.3 vs 15.5 mo; HR: 2.32; 95%CI:1.39-4.28; P < 0.002). Median PFS for BL DRD biallelic + vs DRD biallelic- was 5.1 vs 15.4 mo (HR: 2.49; 95% CI: 1.23-4.38; P < 0.0095). For multivariate analysis using DRD+, ALP, and LDH as covariates, DRD+ (HR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.18-3.75; P < 0.012) and high ALP (HR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.08-2.56; P < 0.021) were strongly associated with worse PFS. Median OS for BL DRD+ vs DRD- was 28.8 vs 41.3 mo (HR: 1.67; 95%CI:0.88-3.18; P = 0.116). Median rPFS for BL DRD+ vs DRD- was 16.2 vs 20.9 mo (HR: 1.64; 95%CI:0.83-3.21; P = 0.152). Of 39 Pts with BL, C2D1 and PROG samples, 3 were DRD+ (7.7%) at all 3 timepoints, 3 (7.7%) only at BL, 3 (7.7%) only at PROG (bi-allelic), 2 (5.1%) had extra deletion at PROG. Conclusions: Patients with mCRPC harboring DRD+ have worse outcomes with AA and represent a population with an unmet medical need.

119 Background: Phase 2 and 3 studies with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have demonstrated antitumor activity in patients (pts) with mCRPC with DDRmut who were previously treated with novel hormonal therapy (NHT). We report the first IA of a Phase 2 study of TALA, a potent inhibitor and trapper of PARP. Methods: TALAPRO-1 (NCT03148795) is enrolling pts (N ≈ 100) with measurable soft tissue disease, progressive mCRPC, and DDRmut likely to sensitize to PARPi (including ATM, ATR, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, FANCA, MLH1, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C), who received 1–2 chemotherapy regimens (≥1 taxane-based) and progressed on ≥1 NHT (enzalutamide/abiraterone acetate). Pts receive oral TALA 1 mg/d (moderate renal impairment, 0.75 mg/d) until radiographic progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR; blinded independent review). Secondary endpoints are time to OR, duration of response, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decrease ≥50%, circulating tumor cell (CTC) count conversion (to CTC = 0 and <5 per 7.5 mL of blood), time to PSA progression, radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), overall survival, safety, pt-reported outcomes, and pharmacokinetics. A planned IA of safety and efficacy was performed after 20 pts with BRCA1/2 mutations were on treatment for ≥8 wks. Results: 81 pts received TALA as of June 5, 2019; 43 pts enrolled by Feb 12, 2019 were evaluable for the primary endpoint (20 BRCA1/2, 2 PALB2, 14 ATM, 7 other). All had received docetaxel and 49% prior cabazitaxel. Overall ORR (95% CI) was 25.6% (13.5–41.2), ORRBRCA1/2 50.0% (27.2–72.8), ORRATM 7.1% (0.2–33.9). Overall median (95% CI) rPFS was 5.6 months (mo) (3.5–8.2), rPFSBRCA1/2 8.2 mo (5.6–NE), rPFSATM 3.5 mo (1.7–8.1). Most common treatment-emergent adverse events (≥20%) were anemia, nausea, asthenia, decreased appetite, constipation, and platelet count decreased. Conclusions: TALA monotherapy demonstrates encouraging antitumor activity in docetaxel-pretreated mCRPC pts, especially those with BRCA1/2mut, and was generally well tolerated. This study was sponsored by Pfizer Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT03148795.

129 Background: Docetaxel is a lipophilic drugs with a high affinity for adipose tissue resulting in a higher volume of distribution.There are contradictory data with regards to the differential effect of docetaxel based on BMI in breast cancer patients. However, there are no such data in patients with prostate cancer. A We performed an exploratory analysis to determine if the benefit of docetaxel in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is modified by BMI. Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of data retrieved from the phase III ENTHUSE M1C study that assessed the efficacy and safety of additional zibotentan in combination with docetaxel in patients with mCRPC (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00617669). BMI (kg/m2) was categorized as: 18.5 to < 25, lean; 25 to < 30, overweight; and ≥ 30, obese. Cox regression models were constructed to determine the impact of BMI on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after adjusting for baseline characteristics. Results: A total of 466 patients were eligible for current analysis, of whom 34%, 46% and 20% were < 65 years, 65-74 years and > 75 years, respectively. The median total and free baseline PSA were 99.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 33.6 to 237.0) ng/mL and 13.9 (IQR, 5.4 to 37.4) ng/mL, respectively. There were 31% (n = 145), 46% (n = 213) and 23% (n = 108) lean, overweight and obese patients. Visceral metastasis was present in 52% patients, while the number of bone metastases were 1-3 in 15%, 4 in 5%, 5-20 in 58% and ≥ 21 in 23%. The median number of cycles of docetaxel administered were 10 (IQR, 6-10). The median PFS was 7.3, 7.7 and 8.4 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81 to 1.06; P = .26) for lean, overweight and obese patients, respectively. The median OS was 10.3, 10.7 and 12.4 months (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.63 to 0.89; P = .01) for lean, overweight and obese patients, respectively. After adjusting for baseline and tumor related characteristics, there was no association of BMI with PFS (overweight, HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.17; P = .50; obese, HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.67 to 1.18; P = .42) while overweight (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.91; P = .01) and obese (HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.88; P = .01) patients had significantly better OS as compared with lean patients. Conclusions: The differential effect of docetaxel based on BMI was not observed in patients with mCRPC. Interestingly, obese patients had a significantly longer OS, which warrants further investigation.
