The Impact

6 Background: ENZA increased median overall survival (OS) by 4.8 mo (P <0.001, HR 0.63) vs placebo (PBO) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients (pts) post-docetaxel in AFFIRM (HI Scher et al, NEJM 2012). Corticosteroids (CS) can activate AR signaling in nonclinical models (J Richards, Can Res 2012). In a multivariate model of AFFIRM data baseline CS use was associated with reduced OS (HI Scher et al. ESMO 2012 abstract 899PD). The impact of CS use during study treatment in AFFIRM was evaluated to test if concomitant CS use is also associated with inferior outcomes. Methods: Pts were randomized 2:1 to ENZA 160 mg/d or PBO. Pts were allowed but not required to take CS. OS was the primary endpoint. In a post-hoc analysis On-study CS use was defined as oral CS user for ≥ 1 day on study. Results: On study CS use was 48% in ENZA and 45% in PBO pts. Prognostic factors were slightly better in the no CS group compared to the CS group. Use of CS regardless of treatment was associated median OS of 11.5 mo (95% CI: 10.5, 13.0) for CS pts vs median OS NM (NM, NM) for no CS pts (HR=0.40; 95% CI: 0.33, 0.48). ENZA was consistently superior to PBO for OS, radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) and time to PSA progression (TTPP), regardless of CS use (Table). Pts on CS had higher rates of grade 3 - 4 adverse events (AE) compared to no CS pts: 63.3% vs 34.4% respectively. Conclusions: In this post-hoc analysis, on study CS use was associated with reduced OS and higher rates of grade 3 -4 AEs in mCRPC pts post-docetaxel. While CS pts had worse outcomes, ENZA was consistently superior to PBO regardless of on study CS use. The inferior outcomes in CS pts may be due to unmeasured confounders or the biologic properties of CS use itself. Clinical trial information: NCT00974311. [Table: see text]

5558 Background: PROSELICA phase III trial (NCT01308580) showed that cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (C20) is non-inferior to C25 in mCRPC patients (pts) post-docetaxel (DOC) (Eisenberger JCO 2017). Pts enrolled were symptomatic or not. This post-hoc analysis evaluates the influence of progression type at randomization on 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). The relationship between progression type and overall survival (OS), radiological progression-free survival (rPFS) and PSA response (confirmed PSA decrease ≥ 50%) was analyzed. Results: All patients randomized (n = 1200) had received prior DOC and 25.7% had received prior abiraterone or enzalutamide. Progression type was evaluable in 1065 pts (PSA-p = 24.5%, radio-p = 20.9%, pain-p = 54.6%). Pain progression was associated with clinical and biological features of aggressive disease and worse outcomes (decreased PSA response, rPFS and OS) vs PSA-p or radio-p (Table). The survival (rPFS and OS) on C25 was numerically higher than on C20 in pts with radio-p and pain-p. Conversely, C20 and C25 equally benefited pts with PSA-p only. In multivariate analysis (all arms combined), pain progression was an independent predictor of poor OS. Conclusions: This post-hoc analysis of PROSELICA shows that pain progression at initiation of cabazitaxel in mCRPC pts previously treated with DOC is prognostic. The activity of C25 was numerically higher than C20 in patients with radiological or pain progression. Clinical trial information: NCT01308580 . [Table: see text]

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.

5559 Background: In the CARD (NCT02485691) study, radiographic PFS (rPFS), PFS and OS were significantly improved with CBZ vs. androgen-signaling-targeted agents (ARTA; ABI or ENZ) in pts with mCRPC who had received docetaxel (DOC) and progressed within 12 months (mo) on an alternative ARTA. This analysis evaluated the impact of age (< 70 vs. ≥ 70 years) on the efficacy and safety of CBZ and ARTAs in CARD. Methods: 255 pts with mCRPC were randomized 1:1 to CBZ (25 mg/m2 IV Q3W + prednisone [P] + G-CSF) vs. ABI (1000 mg PO + P) or ENZ (160 mg PO) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or pt request. Pts were eligible if they had received ≥ 3 cycles of DOC and progressed ≤ 12 mo on the previous alternative ARTA. Primary endpoint was rPFS. Subgroup analysis of older (≥ 70 years; n = 135) and younger (< 70 years; n = 120) pts was pre-specified for rPFS; others were post hoc. Results: rPFS was significantly improved vs. ARTA in both older (median 8.2 vs. 4.5 mo; HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.38–0.89) and younger pts (median 7.4 vs. 3.2 mo; HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.30–0.74). Median OS for CBZ vs. ARTA was 13.9 vs. 9.4 mo (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.41–1.06) in older pts and 13.6 vs. 11.8 mo (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.41–1.08) in younger pts. PFS, tumor, PSA and pain responses also favored CBZ, regardless of age. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 57.8% vs. 49.3% of older pts receiving CBZ vs. ARTA and 48.4% vs. 42.1% in younger pts. AEs leading to death were more frequent with ARTA, mainly due to disease progression. Conclusions: CBZ had improved efficacy outcomes vs. ARTA in pts with mCRPC previously treated with DOC and the alternative ARTA, regardless of age. Grade ≥ 3 cardiac AEs were more frequent in older pts treated with ARTA. A higher rate of AEs was reported in older vs. younger pts, for ARTA and CBZ. CBZ and ARTA had different safety profiles in older compared with younger pts. Clinical trial information: NCT02485691 . Funding: Sanofi. [Table: see text]

Purpose Ipilimumab increases antitumor T-cell responses by binding to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4. We evaluated treatment with ipilimumab in asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer without visceral metastases. Patients and Methods In this multicenter, double-blind, phase III trial, patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to ipilimumab 10 mg/kg or placebo every 3 weeks for up to four doses. Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg or placebo maintenance therapy was administered to nonprogressing patients every 3 months. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Results Four hundred patients were randomly assigned to ipilimumab and 202 to placebo; 399 were treated with ipilimumab and 199 with placebo. Median OS was 28.7 months (95% CI, 24.5 to 32.5 months) in the ipilimumab arm versus 29.7 months (95% CI, 26.1 to 34.2 months) in the placebo arm (hazard ratio, 1.11; 95.87% CI, 0.88 to 1.39; P = .3667). Median progression-free survival was 5.6 months in the ipilimumab arm versus 3.8 with placebo arm (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95.87% CI, 0.55 to 0.81). Exploratory analyses showed a higher prostate-specific antigen response rate with ipilimumab (23%) than with placebo (8%). Diarrhea (15%) was the only grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse event (AE) reported in ≥ 10% of ipilimumab-treated patients. Nine (2%) deaths occurred in the ipilimumab arm due to treatment-related AEs; no deaths occurred in the placebo arm. Immune-related grade 3 to 4 AEs occurred in 31% and 2% of patients, respectively. Conclusion Ipilimumab did not improve OS in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The observed increases in progression-free survival and prostate-specific antigen response rates suggest antitumor activity in a patient subset.

153 Background: Docetaxel (D) remains the standard first cytotoxic therapy in mCRPC. Given its mechanism of action, acceptable toxicity profile and simple administration, SU had potential as maintenance therapy for mCRPC. In this multicenter study, we evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of SU monotherapy in patients (pts) with mCRPC who have responded to D. Methods: Pts withmCRPC and responding/stable disease at the time of D completion were enrolled in this multicentre trial. Pts received 50mg of SU daily on 4/2 week on/off cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), defined on the basis of RECIST criteria and worsening disease-related symptoms requiring further therapy. Because the effect of SU on PSA is not well known, PSA progression alone was not considered disease progression. PFS of 180 days was considered to be a clinically meaningful threshold for recommending further study of SU. PSA response was a secondary endpoint. The threshold for PSA-progression (PSA-P) was defined as a 25% increase in PSA over baseline. Results: Twenty-three pts were enrolled and treated. Mean age was 66.5 years (48-78). ECOG scores of 0, 1, and 2 were reported for 9, 13 and 1 pts respectively. Mean number of prior cycles of D was 8.6 (4-12). A total of 92 cycles of SU were administered; a mean of 4 per pt (1-11). Mean follow-up was 5.4 months (0.6-15). A total of 479 adverse events (AE) were recorded, of which 88% were Grade 1-2 and 12% were Grade 3-4. The AE were of a type and severity expected for SU. Three Grade 4s occurred, consisting of hepatitis, myelosuppression, and pneumonia. Median PFS was 133 days (95% CI: 48-154). Most pts had immediate PSA increases without evidence of disease progression, with the mean increases in PSA over baseline being 197%, 342%, and 1437% in Cycles 1, 2, and 3, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusions: Although SU was well tolerated as maintenance therapy with predictable side-effects, median PFS was lower than the predefined threshold of 180 days. PSA values were not informative as significant increases were observed as early as Cycle 2. This agent is not considered worthy of further investigation in this setting of maintenance therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT00550810.

524 Background: Lenvatinib (LEN) is approved for first-line treatment of uHCC. Baseline (BL) liver function (Child-Pugh score [CPS] and albumin-bilirubin grade [ALBI]) was prognostic in uHCC patients (pts) who received sorafenib (SOR) but has not been assessed with LEN in uHCC. Here, we report post hoc analysis of BL liver function and efficacy/safety outcomes from the phase 3 REFLECT study. Methods: Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety were stratified by BL ALBI or CPS. OS and PFS were estimated by Kaplan–Meier method. Independent radiologic review utilized mRECIST criteria for ORR. Safety was assessed using NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0. Results: Liver function measured by ALBI and CPS seemed to be prognostic for OS and ORR. Median OS was longer in ALBI grade 1 (ALBI-1) vs grade 2 (ALBI-2) pts or for CPS-5 vs CPS-6 on either treatment arm and was longer for LEN vs SOR. ORR was higher in pts with better ALBI or CPS and for LEN vs SOR. Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events grade ≥3 were lower with better BL liver function (ALBI-1 vs ALBI-2: 70% vs 86%; CPS-5 vs CPS-6: 72% vs 86%). Study-drug withdrawal, dose reduction, and dose interruption occurred more often in pts with worse BL liver function. Conclusions: This post hoc analysis suggests ALBI (by OS, PFS and ORR) and CPS (by ORR) may be prognostic in uHCC pts and that BL liver function may be linked with efficacy/safety outcomes. This analysis also found that LEN provided benefit vs SOR for uHCC, regardless of BL liver function. The benefit of LEN may be underestimated, as more ALBI-2 pts and fewer ALBI-1 pts received LEN vs SOR. Clinical trial information: NCT01761266. [Table: see text]
