224 Background: The TROPIC Trial demonstrated improved overall survival in patients with mCRPC who progressed during or after treatment with docetaxel. The trial established cabazitaxel as a tolerable and viable second line treatment option in these patients. We report our experience with cabazitaxel in patients receiving treatment within the Early Access Programme (EAP) and via the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF). Methods: Retrospective review of patients receiving cabazitaxel chemotherapy from 1st January 2011 to 1st January 2012. Chemotherapy administration was corroborated via the electronic prescribing system. Patient records provided documentation regarding disease response and treatment toxicities. For patients within the EAP, data was confirmed and supplemented via the Trials Office. Results: 22 patients were identified, of which 20 received cabazitaxel. 12 were treated within the EAP and 8 via the CDF. Median age was 68.5 years (59-83) within the EAP group and 70 years (52-78) within the CDF group, whilst median number of cycles was 6 (1-10) and 5.5 (1-8) respectively. 83.3% of EAP patients received full dose throughout, compared with 62.5% of the CDF patients. Primary GCSF was used in 91.6% of EAP patients and 75% of CDF patients, with secondary GCSF in 8.3% and 12.5% respectively. 3/20 patients had treatment discontinued due to progressive disease (after a minimum of 3 cycles). 13/20 patients had a positive biochemical and/or clinical response. 15/20 patients (Gleason score ≥ 8, 7 of 15) remain alive with a mean survival of 12.1 months (3.4-19.4). There were no treatment related deaths. Treatment related adverse events are shown in the Table. Conclusions: Our results are comparable with the TROPIC data, suggesting cabazitaxel offers demonstrable response rates and meaningful survival with an acceptable toxicity profile. [Table: see text]

272 Background: AA pts experience greater prostate cancer (PC) incidence and mortality compared to Caucasian (C) pts but are underrepresented in clinical trials (CTs). Greater representation of AAs is required to explore differences in clinical benefit in advanced disease where recent data has reaffirmed the role of D. Methods: In a retrospective analysis, baseline characteristics, Gleason score (GS), ECOG PS, number of cycles (cys), maximum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) declines, radiographic responses, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were captured in 2 recent D based CTs. Results: Of 136 pts, 28 (21%) self-identified as Black or AA. Median age of AA pts is 66 (50-78 yrs). Median GS is 8 (5-10). Median ECOG PS is 1 (0-2). 15 pts have bone and soft tissue disease; 13 pts have bone only disease. Median number of cys is 28.5 (1-63). Of 27 evaluable pts, 26 had PSA declines (-26 to -99%). Radiographic responses include 11 (39%) partial responses and 16 (57%) pts with stable disease. Median OS for AAs is 29.0 months (mos) (95% CI: 20.9-34.7 mos); median PFS is 21.5 mos (95% CI: 13.7-28.9 mos). Median OS for all non-AA pts is 24.8 mos (95% CI: 21.8-29.5 mos); median PFS is 16.1 mos (95% CI: 14.1-20.1 mos). The VEGF-634G > C SNP, associated with a more aggressive phenotype of PC, was evaluated in 54 pts. No evidence was found that genotype frequency varies between C and AA pts. Conclusions: In this analysis, AA pts did not have inferior OS (29 mos) or PFS (21.5 mos) outcomes compared to non-AA pts (24.8, 16.1 mos). Further analysis from larger studies is required to determine differential benefits of D for AA pts compared to non-AA pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00089609, NCT00942578.

8036 Background: Clarithromycin has been shown to enhance anti-myeloma activity of lenalidomide+dexamethasone in the upfront treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Pomalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent effective in relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM). We hypothesized that clarithromycin may similarly enhance pomalidomide + dexamethasone in RRMM. We now report updated results from a phase 2 trial of ClaPD in RRMM. Methods: 73 patients with RRMM were enrolled in a single-institution phase 2 study of ClaPD. All subjects had ≥ 3 prior lines of therapy, one of which must have included lenalidomide. ClaPD is clarithromycin 500mg twice daily; dexamethasone 40mg weekly; and pomalidomide 4mg for days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. All patients had VTE prophylaxis with aspirin. Monthly disease response evaluation included immunoelectrophoresis and free light chain analysis; bone marrow biopsy with skeletal imaging was used to confirm MM responses. Treatment continued as tolerated until disease progression. Results: The 66 patients who completed ≥ 1 cycle of ClaPD are reported. Median number of cycles was 6 (range 1-17). Responses were progressive disease: 10%, stable disease: 21%, minimal response: 12%, partial response: 33%, very good partial response: 18%, stringent complete remission: 5%, for an overall response rate (ORR) of 56% and ≥VGPR rate of 23%. Median time to PR was 1.25 cycles (range 1-8). Median PFS was 5 months. Response and PFS were not different in patients refractory to lenalidomide (85%), bortezomib (82%), or double-refractory patients (76%). After a median follow up of 12 months,28 pts (42%) remain on study without progression and 56pts (85%) are alive. Two pts withdrew due to toxicity (1 Grade 3 fatigue, 1 Grade 4 muscular weakness). One patient withdrew consent. Conclusions: ClaPD is highly effective for heavily pre-treated RRMM, particularly in lenalidomide-refractory disesase and compares favorably to previously published Phase 2 data of Pom/Dex (ORR 56% vs 40% - Lacy et. al JCO 2009) without excess toxicity. Response to ClaPD is rapid, well tolerated, and sustained over 7 months in most subjects. These data support the clinical efficacy of pomalidomide based regimens in RRMM.

5038 Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostate cancers, but not in most normal tissues, making it a potential therapeutic target. We are conducting a two-part phase 1 dose escalation/expansion study of EC1169, a PSMA-targeted conjugate of the microtubule inhibitor tubulysin B hydrazide in mCRPC. The utility of the PSMA-targeted companion imaging agent 99mTc-EC0652 is also being evaluated as a patient selection tool. The safety, efficacy, and imaging-based PSMA selection strategy are being investigated in Part A (dose escalation) and Part B (2-stage, 2-cohort expansion). Methods: Part A pts were eligible if they progressed on abiraterone or enzalutamide, and were treated with a taxane. EC1169 was administered as an IV bolus on days 1, 8 every 21 days. Part B pts are enrolled in 1 of 2 cohorts, mCRPC taxane naïve (cohort 1, 45 pts) and taxane exposed (cohort 2, 40 pts). Prior to treatment, pts undergo a 99mTc-EC0652 SPECT scan. The primary endpoint of Part B is median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Other study evaluations are OS, PSA, and CTC-based biomarkers. Results: Part A is now complete: the RP2 dose is 6.5 mg/m2, on the basis of non-DLT transaminitis. 20 Part A/B pts have been treated at the RP2 dose (7 taxane naïve, 13 taxane exposed). Median age is 69 (range: 59-82). Median number of cycles is 2 (range: 1-7). 10 pts (50%) reported at least 1 treatment related AE. Most treatment related AEs are Gr1 and 2; G3 thrombocytopenia, fatigue, and constipation have occurred in 1 pt each. No Grade 4 treatment related AEs have been reported. No DLT or toxicity requiring dose reductions occurred. Four taxane-exposed pts in Part B have reached their first 9 wk radiographic assessment, of which two have soft tissue disease. One of those two patients (50%) has achieved an unconfirmed RECIST PR. Conclusions: The RP2 dose of EC1169 is 6.5 mg/m2. EC1169 has been well tolerated in 20 pts at the RP2 dose. Imaging with 99mTc-EC0652 suggests excellent disease localization supporting a PSMA-targeted therapeutic strategy. There is evidence of anti-tumor activity in both the dose escalation and expansion cohorts. Clinical trial information: NCT02202447.

228 Background: Radium 223 (Ra-223) has been successfully utilised in the trial setting for the treatment of men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). To date, no real world outcomes from its use in the Irish population have been described. Methods: From September 2016 to March 2019, data from men referred for Ra-223 treatment at our institution was retrospectively collected. We recorded patient characteristics, treatments received and outcomes. Overall Survival (OS) was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 81 men were referred for Ra 223. Complete data was available for 56 men. Median age was 75. 79%(45/56) had over 6 bone metastases and 21%(12/56) had lymph node involvement. The median number of prior systemic treatments for mCRPC was 2. 84%(47/56) of patients were previously treated with Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); 48%(27/56) Abiraterone, 36%(20/56) Docetaxel, 45%(25/56) Enzalutamide and 9%(5/56) Cabazitaxel. All patients were receiving bone protection agents; 57%(32/56) Zolendronic acid and 43%(24/56) Denosumab. Median ECOG was 1 at the start of treatment and 2 at completion. The median number of treatments received was 4 with 36%(20/56) completing all 6 treatments. The most common toxicity seen was grade1 fatigue occurring in10% (6/56). 17% (10/56) required a blood transfusion during their treatment course. 53%(30/56) required opioid analgesia prior to Ra 223 treatment. 76% of these men (22/30) described improved pain following Rad-223. At a median follow up of 13 months,41%(23/56) were alive. The median OS for the entire group was 7 months. Factors associated with improved OS included ECOG 0-1,fewer than 6 bone metastases, normal alkaline phosphatase level at start of treatment and no prior chemotherapy use. Median OS for those who had not received prior chemotherapy was significantly better than those who had (9 vs 5 months p=0.04). Conclusions: This real world study demonstrates Ra 223 is a well tolerated palliative treatment amongst Irish men with mCRPC. Good performance status, lower alkaline phosphatase, chemotherapy naivety and a low burden of metastatic disease are factors associated with an improved overall survival.

81 Background: Intermittent hormone manipulation in castrate-sensitive prostate cancer can improve quality of life whilst maintaining comparable disease outcomes with continuous scheduling. Enzalutamide is effective in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treatment but can have significant side-effects. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated with intermittent enzalutamide compared with continuous dosing. Methods: Patients prescribed enzalutamide for mCRPC at Royal Cornwall Hospital from September 2011 to February 2018 were included. Data was collected from electronic medical records, selecting patients with at least a 1 month treatment break. Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival from enzalutamide start (OS), time to PSA failure (TTF) and total enzalutamide treatment time (TTT) was calculated for intermittent and continuous responders (>50% PSA drop), assigned significance level of 0.05. Results: 243 patients received enzalutamide, 110 (45%) were continuous responders and 29 (12%) had intermittent dosing. All patients treated intermittently had a PSA response prior to first treatment break, which was most commonly for fatigue (60%). 25% were still receiving enzalutamide. Median number of breaks was 1 (range 1-7), time on treatment was 70% and time to first break was 5 months. The intermittent group had significantly improved OS with median not reached, median OS for continuous responders was 19 months (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.53-3.76, p=0.002). The intermittent group had prolonged TTF (median 13 vs 6 months, p=0.001) and TTT (median 30 vs 10 months, p=0.0003). Conclusions: Intermittent dosing of enzalutamide in these mCRPC patients does not adversely impact OS, increasing time patients remain on treatment. However, this was a small, retrospective, single-centre study; prospective trials are necessary to clarify the role of intermittent enzalutamide.[Table: see text]

247 Background: Since FDA approval in 2011, abiraterone (Zytiga) has supplanted docetaxel as preferred first-line treatment for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. In August 2012 enzalutamide (Xtandi) was FDA-approved for the treatment of castrate-resistant prostate cancer after docetaxel (Taxotere). We performed a retrospective chart review at a large medical oncology clinic specializing in prostate cancer to determine the PSA response rates of enzalutamide administered to men who had previously progressed on both abiraterone and docetaxel. This report includes some patients who participated in the Astellas/Medivation-sponsored Early Access Program; however, it represents the author’s independent clinical experience. Methods: Enzalutamide was administered at a dose of 160 mg daily. Patients were subsequently followed with monthly physical examination, PSA and routine blood tests. No hepatotoxicity or seizures occurred. Men were considered evaluable for PSA response if they received enzalutamide for twelve weeks. A PSA decline of 30% from baseline after 12 weeks was defined as a response. A PSA increase of 30% from baseline within 12 weeks was defined as disease progression. Men with neither a 30% increase nor a 30% decline were classified as having stable disease. Results: 66 men were treated and 63 were evaluable for PSA response. Median age was 67. Median baseline PSA was 68.5. All participants had disease that had progressed on abiraterone. 55 men received previous docetaxel. 38 had received previous Provenge. Two men stopped before 12 weeks because of intolerable fatigue. One man died of progressive disease before 12 weeks. After a median follow up of 12.5 weeks, 18(29%) men met criteria for PSA response. 13(21%) men had stable disease and 32(51%) men had PSA progression. Conclusions: Enzalutamide has activity in a heavily pretreated population of men resistant to abiraterone and docetaxel.

e16017 Background: We have completed accrual of 63 patients (pts) to our study combining lenalidomide (L), with bevacizumab (B), docetaxel (D), and prednisone (P) (ART-P) in mCRPC. Due to the lack of improved survival and the increased toxicity of anti-angiogenic docetaxel combinations in the MAINSAIL and CALGB 90401 trials, we attempted to compare and contrast our studies with these failed phase III trials. Methods: Among the first 52 pts on ART-P, 3 received L 15 mg daily, 3 received 20 mg daily, and the others received 25 mg daily for 14 days of every 21−day cycle (C). We then enrolled 11 pts at L 15 mg. All pts received D 75 mg/m2 and B 15 mg/kg on day 1 with P 10 mg and enoxaparin daily. Pegfilgrastim was given on day 2. Patients on CALGB 90401 received D 75 mg/m2 and B 15 mg/kg on day 1, with P 10 mg. On MAINSAIL, pts received D 75 mg/m2, L 25 mg daily for 14 days of every 21−day cycle with daily P. Patients on CALGB 90401 and MAINSAIL did not receive enoxaparin or pegfilgrastim prophylactically. Results: The median number of Cs on ART-P is 18 (1-52). Median PFS is 19.1 months. Twenty-seven pts had a PR, and one pt with measurable disease had a CR. Two patients (3%) had deep vein thromboses. Of 1,334 Cs given, 14 cycles were complicated by febrile neutropenia (FN) (1%). There were no treatment related deaths. In comparison, median number of Cs in MAINSAIL L+DP arm was 6, with a PFS of 45 weeks and an OS of 77 weeks. Thirty-four pts (6.5%) developed pulmonary emboli and there were 2 deaths due to toxicity in the experimental arm. Nearly 12% of Cs were complicated by FN. In the experimental arm of CALGB 90401 trial, median OS was 22.6 months with median PFS of 9.9 months. The median number of Cs were 8 and 19 pts developed thrombosis/emboli (3.6%). In addition, 37 patients developed FN and treatment related deaths were reported at 4%. Conclusions: The use of supportive care allowed longer treatment duration with the ART-P combination as compared to D+L (MAINSAIL) and D+B (CALGB 90401), potentiating a longer PFS, RR and possibly OS with an improved safety profile. This data demonstrates the potential importance of supportive measures and is hypothesis generating for future combination studies. Clinical trial information: NCT00942578.

e17564 Background: Combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor with a tumor vaccine may leverage complementary mechanisms of action for treatment of mCRPC. Atezolizumab, a fully human anti–PD-L1 IgG1 antibody, is an approved treatment option in multiple indications; while SipT, an autologous cellular immunotherapeutic, is approved for treatment of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We present a phase Ib study evaluating safety, tolerability and objective response rate of atezolizumab + SipT in patients with mCRPC (NCT03024216). Methods: Eligible patients who had asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic progressive mCRPC and met standard criteria for sipuleucel-T were randomized to receive either atezolizumab 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks for 2 doses then SipT IV every 2 weeks for a total of three infusions (Arm 1) or SipT IV every 2 weeks for a total of three infusions followed by atezolizumab 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks for 2 doses (Arm 2). The primary endpoint was safety, while secondary endpoints included objective tumor response (PCWG2 and modified RECISTv1.1 criteria) and comparing systemic immune responses after induction between the arms. Results: As of February 6, 2020, 37 pts (median follow-up 7.4 months, median age 75 yrs [range 53.0–86.0]; median number of previous treatments 4 [range 1-8], 75.7% ECOG PS = 0) were enrolled. Three patients did not complete induction therapy (1 – withdrew consent, 1 developed toxicity, and 1 progressed). There were no grade 5 toxicities attributed to study drugs and grade 4 toxicities were noted in 2 patients, 1 in each arm (Arm 1 bronchitis and Arm 2 hypotension). Eight grade 3 toxicities were noted in arm 1 (hyponatremia, pulmonary embolus x3, bone pain, hypophosphatemia, shock, tooth fracture from a fall), while 4 grade 3 toxicities were noted in arm 2 (anemia, hypertension x 2, pneumonia). None of the grade 3 or 4 SAEs were noted to be irAEs. At 6 months, there were 11 SD (7 in Arm 1 and 4 in Arm 2), 18 PD and 7 unevaluable (3 withdrew from study and 4 have yet to reach 6 month evaluation). At this time, PFS was noted to be 8.2 months in Arm 1 and 5.8 months in Arm 2 (p = 0.054). Conclusions: The safety profile of the combination of atezolizumab with sipuleucel-T appears manageable in a heavily pre-treated population and consistent with those agents administered as monotherapy. Responses were seen but no CR. Immune activation studies may shed light on which sequence is optimal. Clinical trial information: NCT03024216 .
