33 Background: Less than 5% of men in a PSA screened population present with denovo metastatic prostate cancer. We sought to characterize the clinical characteristics and survival of this unique group of men. Methods: Retrospective analysis of an institutional data-base – Dana Farber Cancer Institute - Prostate Clinical Research Information Systems (CRIS). All men with metastatic disease as their first presentation of prostate cancer were identified. Patient and disease characteristics were summarized descriptively. The distributions of the study endpoints were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with median and 95%CI reported. Results: The analytic cohort has 185 patients with a median follow-up of 7.8 years (95% CI:7.5,11.1) and 94% diagnosed after 1998. Median age at diagnosis is 62 years (Range: 42-86); PSA at diagnosis: Median (Q1-Q3) - 100.2 (23.0, 346.0). Metastases: 97% bone, 2% liver, 2% lung, 8% lymph node. The median time from metastasis diagnosis to start of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was 26 days, 139 of those who started ADT had subsequently started treatment for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) - 2nd line hormonal therapy and/or chemotherapy. The median time from ADT to subsequent therapy for CRPC is 14 months with 95% (CI:12,16). 128 patients have died and the median overall survival is 48 months (95% CI:40, 51). Conclusions: This unique cohort of patients at a referral institution tend to be younger and have an overall survival comparable to outcomes in modern day randomized hormone sensitive prostate cancer studies. Assessment of similar group in a multivariate analysis of a prospective trial is needed to confirm this observation. If confirmed, the data would suggest the responsiveness to therapy drives outcome rather than development of metastasis with or without a previously treated primary.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence and management of local and systemic complications afflicting patients with de novo metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) in Singapore.DesignRetrospective analysis of a large prospective Uro-oncology registry of mPCa.SettingThis study is carried out in a tertiary hospital in Singapore.ParticipantsWe reviewed our institution’s prospectively maintained database of 685 patients with mPCa over a 20-year period (1995–2014). Patients with non-mPCa or those progressed to metastatic disease after previous curative local treatments were excluded.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome was to evaluate the systemic and local morbidity rates associated with mPCa. Local complication was defined as the need for palliative procedures to relieve urinary obstruction, worsening renal function or refractory haematuria, while systemic complication was related to radiographic evidence of skeletal-related pathological fractures. Secondary outcomes analysed were the management and overall survival patterns over 20 years.Results237 (34.6%) patients required local palliative treatments. 88 (12.8%) patients presented with acute urinary retention, 23 patients (9.7%) required repetitive local palliative treatments. On multivariate analyses, prostate-specific antigen >100 (p=0.02) and prostate volume >50 g (p=0.03) were independent prognostic factors for significant obstruction requiring palliative procedures. 118 (17.2%) patients developed skeletal fractures, with poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance (ECOG) status (p=0.01) and high volume bone metastasis (p<0.01) independently predictive of skeletal fractures. Altogether, 653 (95.3%) patients received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with the median time to castrate resistance of 21.4 months (IQR 7–27). The median overall survival was 45 months (IQR 20–63), with prostate cancer mortality of 81.4%. Improved overall survival was observed from 41.6 months (1995–1999) to 47.8 months (2010–2014) (p<0.01).ConclusionMorbidities and complications arising from mPCa are more common and debilitating than we thought, often requiring immediate palliative treatments, while many necessitate repeated interventions with progression.

118 Background: In men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC),the association of measurable tumor responses with overall survival (OS) is unknown. We retrospectively evaluated the TAX327 phase III trial to study this relationship. Methods: Eligible patients for this analysis included those with WHO-defined measurable metastatic disease randomized to receive either docetaxel or mitoxantrone. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the prognostic relationship of WHO-defined radiologic response with OS was performed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Landmark analyses evaluated survival from baseline and 2, 3, 4 and 6 months after baseline. Results: Four hundred and twelve patients enrolled on the TAX327 trial had measurable tumors. Thirty-seven patients exhibited a complete or partial objective response (CR/PR, 9.0%), 116 had stable disease (SD, 28.2%), 99 had progressive disease (PD,24%) and 160 (38.8%) did not have a post-baseline objective assessment. Partial responders demonstrated longer median OS (29.0 months) than patients with SD (22.1 months), or those with PD (10.8 months) or those who were not assessed (12.7 months). These results remained after landmark analysis. We found a significant association between ≥30% PSA declines and radiologic response, with ≥30% PSA declines occurring in all patients with CR/PR, 79.8% of patients with SD and 34.4% with PD. Radiologic response remained a significant but modest post-treatment prognostic factor for OS after adjusting for treatment, pain-response and ≥30% PSA-decline (p=0.009). Conclusions: In men with metastatic CRPC and measurable disease receiving chemotherapy, objective tumor response was prognostic for OS, and appears to complement PSA assessment. [Table: see text]

62 Background: Current treatments of metastatic prostate cancer are mainly hormone therapy and chemotherapy. The anticancer potential of metformin on metastatic prostate cancer remains obscure. In this study, we aim to investigate the significance of patients with prostate cancer taking metformin in addition to their current treatment. Methods: An IRB approved retrospective review of metastatic prostate cancer patients was conducted. Patients were categorized into metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) or hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Patients were further stratified to those who received metformin vs. those who did not. Progression free survival (PFS) was evaluated based on PCWG3 and RECIST criteria. 6-month (6MO) PSA response and overall survival (OS) were also evaluated in this study. Results: A total of 281 subjects were included for analysis with a mean age of 70±10. Patients were known to have either mHSPC (n = 205) or mCRPC (n = 75), and taking metformin (n = 66) or not (n = 215). There was no significant difference between metformin groups with respect to PSA response at 6MO (p < 0.73). Among those with a recorded 6MO PSA response, 70.4% (38/54) had a response in the metformin group and 72.9% (140/192) had a response in the non-metformin group. Overall median PFS was estimated to be 17 months, with no significant difference in PFS between metformin groups (16.6 vs 17.3; p < 0.88). Within the mHSPC group, metformin users had a lower risk of progression relative to non-users (HR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.62 to 1.29). Within the mCRPC group, metformin users had a significantly higher risk of progression relative to non-users (HR = 2.65; 95% CI: 1.4 to 5.0). Median overall survival was estimated to be 81.5 months. There was a significant difference in survival time between metformin groups (148.5 vs 69.4; p < 0.02). Conclusions: No significant differences were found in 6MO PSA response or PFS. There was a significant difference in OS amongst patients who were in the metformin group and those who were not.

260 Background: Significant progress in treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has been made. Biomarkers to tailor therapy are scarce. To facilitate decision-making we evaluated dynamic changes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) under Abiraterone acetate (AA). ALP-Bouncing can be observed during very early AA-therapy. Methods: Men with bone mCRPC (bmCRPC) on AA 12/2009-01/2014 were analyzed. Dynamic ALP-, LDH- and PSA-changes were analyzed as predictors of best clinical benefit (BCB) and overall survival (OS) with logistic-regression, Cox-regression and Kaplan-Meier-analysis. Results: 39 pre- and 45 post-chemotherapy patients with median follow up of 14.0 months were analyzed. In univariate analysis failure of PSA-reduction ≥50% (PSA-red≥50%) and failure of ALP-Bouncing were the strongest predictors of progressive disease (p=0.003 and 0.021). Rising ALP at 12 weeks (ALP12), no PSA-red≥50% and no ALP-Bouncing were strongest predictors of poor OS, (all p<0.001). Kaplan-Meier-analysis showed worse OS for ALP12, no PSA-red≥50% and no ALP-Bouncing (p<0.001). In subgroup-analysis of oligosymptomatic patients all parameters remained significant predictors of poor OS, no PSA-red≥50% and ALP12 being the strongest (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis PSA-red≥50% remained independent predictor of OS for the whole cohort and for the oligosymptomatic subgroup (p=0.014). No patient with ALP-Bouncing had PD for BCB. Patients with ALP12 had no further benefit of AA. Conclusions: Dynamic changes of ALP, LDH and PSA during AA-therapy are associated with BCB and OS in bmCRPC. ALP-Bouncing occurring earlier than PSA-changes and rising ALP12 under AA may help to decide whether to discontinue AA.

258 Background: We reported initial findings on the phenotypic differences between de novo versus primary progressive metastatic prostate cancer (Finianos et al., ASCO GU; abstr 285). We sought to determine the differences in the phenotypic characteristics of these 2 cohorts of patients and update the data with overall survival and patterns of response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients presenting with de novo versus primary progressive prostate cancer. Methods: A retrospective chart review in a single-institution center for a period of 2 years was undertaken. Phenotypic characteristics included age at diagnosis, race, overall survival, treatment patterns, and response to ADT. Analysis was by t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher’s Exact test. Results: A total of 90 patients were included in this cohort with de novo, dn (n = 38) and primary progressive, pp (n = 52) patients. There were no significant differences between the 2 cohorts with regard to the median age at diagnosis (dn = 66, pp = 61, p = 0.11), alkaline phosphatase level (dn = 135.5, pp = 86, p = 0.27), BMI (dn = 28.47, pp = 27, p = 0.78), creatinine (dn = 1.02, pp = 0.99, p = 0.34), LDH (dn = 188, pp = 166, p = 0.34), and testosterone on metastasis (dn = 276, pp = 31, p = 0.16). However, de novo cancers were diagnosed with higher mean gleason scores (dn = 8.36, pp = 7.7, p = 0.004), had higher median PSA upon diagnosis (dn = 63.1, pp = 8.8, p < .0001) and higher PSA on metastasis (dn = 61.7, pp = 12.5, p = .0002), and had a statistically significant decreased duration of hormone sensitivity (dn = 642 days, pp = 1783 days, p = < .0001). Patients with d e novo cancers also had a shorter median survival than primary progressive cancers (dn = 2257 days, pp = 4217 days, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Patients who present with de novo metastatic prostate cancer appear to develop early castration resistance and have worse overall survival than those who present with primary progressive disease. We are exploring the molecular differences in terms of androgen receptor expression as a potential etiology for development of early castration resistance.

212 Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy among US men and the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related death. African Americans (AAs) have higher mortality from mCRPC than Whites (W). Despite this disparity, a small prior study suggested AAs may have better PSA response to abiraterone acetate (ABAC) than Ws, though radiographic progression did not differ. We evaluated overall survival (OS) in AA vs W chemotherapy-naïve (CN) mCRPC patients (Ps) treated with ABAC or enzalutamide (ENZ). Methods: This was a retrospective study that used the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) database. Male PC Ps (≥18 years) who had surgical or medical castration were identified from Apr 1, 2013 to Mar 31, 2018. The index date was the first prescription claim date for ABAC or ENZ following castration. Ps had no chemotherapy for 12 months pre-index date and had continuous VA health plan enrollment for ≥12 months pre- and post-index date. Ps were followed until death or disenrollment. Unadjusted and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses adjusted for demographic and clinical characteristics were used to calculate survival time, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models assessed the relationship between race and OS. Results: This study included 2,123 W and 787 AA mCRPC Ps with mean ages of 74 and 71 years, respectively. The median follow‐up time was 570 days and 561 days for AA and W, respectively. AA were more prone to comorbid hypertension (77.1% vs 67.1%; p<.0001), type II diabetes (38.1% vs 29.3%; p<.0001), and liver damage or abnormality (8.8% vs 5.2%; p=0.0003) than W . From the unadjusted analysis, the median Kaplan-Meier estimated OS was 910 days for AAs and 784 days for Ws; AAs had better OS than Ws (HR=0.887; 95%CI [0.790-0.996]). From the adjusted analysis, the median Kaplan-Meier estimated OS was 918 days for AAs and 781 days for Ws; AAs still had better OS (HR=0.826; 95%CI [0.732-0.933]). Conclusions: This large retrospective study provides the first evidence that AA CN mCRPC Ps may have better OS with ABAC or ENZ than W Ps. Trials are needed to validate this finding and explore the mechanisms of racial disparities in outcomes with new hormonal therapies.

IntroductionRandomized clinical trials demonstrated improved overall survival in chemotherapy exposed metastatic prostate cancer patients. However, real-world data validating this effect with large scale epidemiological data sets are scarce and might not agree with trials. We tested this hypothesis.Materials and MethodsWe identified de novo metastatic prostate cancer patients within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2014-2015). Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression models tested for overall survival differences between chemotherapy-exposed patients vs chemotherapy-naïve patients. All analyses were repeated in propensity-score matched cohorts. Additionally, landmark analyses were applied to account for potential immortal time bias.ResultsOverall, 4295 de novo metastatic prostate cancer patients were identified. Of those, 905 (21.1%) patients received chemotherapy vs 3390 (78.9%) did not. Median overall survival was not reached at 30 months follow-up. Chemotherapy-exposed patients exhibited significantly better overall survival (61.6 vs 54.3%, multivariable HR:0.82, CI: 0.72-0.96, p=0.01) at 30 months compared to their chemotherapy-naïve counterparts. These findings were confirmed in propensity score matched analyses (multivariable HR: 0.77, CI:0.66-0.90, p&lt;0.001). Results remained unchanged after landmark analyses were applied in propensity score matched population.ConclusionsIn this contemporary real-world population-based cohort, chemotherapy for metastatic prostate cancer patients was associated with better overall survival. However, the magnitude of overall survival benefit was not comparable to phase 3 trials.

e16515 Background: The E3805: CHAARTED trial noted use of D at time of commencing ADT for mHSPC was associated with an improvement in time to CRPC (PSA rise or clinical progression [CP]) or time to CP and resulted in a prolongation of overall survival (OS). Therefore, we postulated that pCHT AA or E maintained activity after ADT+D. Methods: A cohort of CRPC patients (pts) treated with pCHT AA or E for CRPC between 2010 and 2016 was selected from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute IRB approved database. Patients were grouped by use of D and whether they had prior localized therapy (PLT) or de novo (DN) metastatic disease, at time of ADT start for mHSPC. The analysis endpoints included OS (time to death from all causes) from ADT start, time to AA/E start from ADT start, OS from AA/E start. Kaplan-Meier method estimated the time to events distribution with median (95% CI). Results: Of the 147 pts selected, 134 (91.2%) had previously received ADT alone, while 13 (8.8%) had ADT+D. Once stratified by PLT or DN, the distributions of the 4 groups are 33.3% (ADT/PLT), 57.8% (ADT/DN), 0.7% (ADT+D/PLT), and 8.2% (ADT+D/DN). In the ADT alone group, the median OS with pCHT AA or E for CRPC was approximately 3 years from the AA/E start, regardless of PLT or DN. In the smaller cohort of pts selected for treatment with ADT+D, both the OS from ADT start and from AA/E start were shorter than the ADT alone cohort. However, even in this group with shorter time to AA/E start, the median OS from AA/E start was still 1.5 years despite prior chemotherapy. Conclusions: Within limitations of a hospital-based registry, small sample size for ADT+D and lack of volume of metastases data, pts selected for ADT+D show poorer outcomes but still have an OS of 1.5 yrs from AA/E start.
