63 Background: Enzalutamide (ENZA), a novel oral androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor, inhibits AR signaling via inhibition of androgen binding to the AR, AR nuclear translocation, and nuclear AR-DNA binding. ENZA demonstrated a survival benefit in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who had received prior docetaxel (Scher et al, NEJM 2012; 367:1187). A Phase III study in men with progressive chemotherapy-naïve disease (PREVAIL), is ongoing. Docetaxel (DOC) is the current standard first-line chemotherapy for mCRPC. CYP3A4, which plays a role in DOC clearance, is induced by ENZA. Patients (pts) eligible to receive DOC may benefit from continued AR inhibition with ENZA, provided the combination is well tolerated with no unacceptable drug-drug interactions. Methods: This study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of DOC co-administered with ENZA in men with mCRPC on androgen deprivation therapy. Pts received DOC (75 mg/m2) by 1-h infusion every 3 weeks, with corticosteroids. ENZA (160 mg/d) was started 24 h after the first DOC infusion. Plasma PK samples were collected for 24 h after Cycle (C) 1 and C2 DOC infusions to enable within-subject comparisons of DOC PK ± ENZA. A sample size of 18 pts able to receive ≥ 2 full doses of DOC was specified for PK analyses. Results: As of 21 Sept. 2012, 22 pts have been enrolled, 3 did not complete both C1 and C2; PK and C1 and C2 safety data are currently available from 15 pts reported here. The median age was 65 (range 46-80 yrs); 11 had ECOG performance status 1 (vs 0). Prior primary therapy included surgery (n=2), radiation (n=4) or both (n=5); median PSA was 44.7ng/mL (1.9-585). ANC<1000mm3 was reported in 14 pts (1 febrile neutropenia), other adverse events in ≥4 pts included fatigue (11), dyspnea (6), alopecia (5), peripheral neuropathy (5), anemia (4) and dysgueusia (4). No seizures were reported. Preliminary PK data (n=15) show similar DOC exposure (within 20%) for DOC in combination with ENZA vs. DOC alone. Conclusions: This is the first evaluation of ENZA given in combination with DOC.In mCRPC pts ENZA does not appear to affect tolerability of DOC or have a clinically meaningful impact on DOC PK. Clinical trial information: NCT01565928.

5066 Background: Enzalutamide (ENZA) is a novel androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor that prolongs survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who had received prior docetaxel (DOC). DOC also prolongs survival in mCRPC and also appears to have anti-tumor effects mediated through the androgen-receptor axis, providing a compelling rationale for combining the two agents. CYP3A4 plays a role in DOC clearance and is induced by ENZA. We therefore conducted a phase I study to explore the PK and safety profiles of this combination. Methods: This study (NCT01565928) evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of DOC co-administered with ENZA in men with mCRPC on androgen deprivation therapy. Pts received DOC (75 mg/m2) by 1-h infusion every 3 weeks with corticosteroids. ENZA (160 mg/d) was started 24 h after the first DOC infusion. Plasma PK samples were collected for 24 h after Cycle (C) 1 and C2 DOC infusions to enable within-subject comparisons of DOC PK ± ENZA. A sample size of 18 pts able to receive ≥ 2 full doses of DOC was specified for PK analyses. Results: Twenty-two pts were enrolled, 4 did not receive 2 full doses of DOC. As of 21 Sept 2012, preliminary PK and C1 and C2 safety data were available from 15 pts. The median age was 65 (range 46-80 yrs); 11 had ECOG performance status 1 (vs 0). Prior primary therapy included surgery (n=2), radiation (n=4) or both (n=5); median PSA was 44.7ng/mL (1.9-585). ANC<1000/mm3 was reported in 14 pts (1 febrile neutropenia), other adverse events in ≥4 pts included fatigue (11), dyspnea (6), alopecia (5), peripheral neuropathy (5), anemia (4) and dysgueusia (4). No seizures were reported. Preliminary PK data (n=15) show similar DOC exposure (within 20%) for DOC in combination with ENZA vs. DOC alone.Final PK and updated tolerability and efficacy data beyond Cycle 2 will be presented. Conclusions: In mCRPC pts, ENZA does not appear to affect tolerability of DOC or have a clinically meaningful impact on DOC PK. Clinical trial information: NCT01565928.

5055 Background: Cbz + P provides a significant survival benefit vs mitoxantrone + P in pts with mCRPC (Phase III TROPIC study [NCT00417079]; hazard ratio 0.70; p < 0.0001). These findings supported the initiation of ongoing Sanofi-funded CUP and EAP (NCT01254279) to provide access to Cbz prior to commercialization and to collect real-life safety data. Methods: Expected enrollment is ~1600 pts with mCRPC from 250 centers worldwide. Pts receive Cbz (25 mg/m2 Q3W) + P (10 mg oral QD) until progressive disease (PD), death, unacceptable toxicity, physician/pt decision or Cbz commercial availability. Pts are followed until 30 days after last dose. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) use is recommended as per ASCO guidance. Results: Interim baseline and safety data from the first 1301 pts treated in 37 countries are now available. Mean age was 68 yrs (22% were ≥ 75 yrs). All pts had an ECOG performance status ≤ 2. Median time from initial prostate cancer diagnosis was 57.6 months and 60% of pts had ≥ 2 metastatic sites; the most common were bone (91%) and lymph nodes (regional 30%, distant 27%). In total, 17% had PD whilst on docetaxel. The median number of Cbz cycles was 6 (range 1–22); median relative dose intensity was 99%. Overall, 837 pts (64%) received G-CSF (n = 123 curative [C], n = 765 prophylactic [P] and n = 99 [C + P]). Of 1142 pts (88%) who discontinued Cbz + P, the most common reasons were PD (44%), adverse event (AE; 27%), physician decision (13%) and commercial availability of Cbz (7%). Grade 3–4 AEs possibly related to Cbz + P occurred in 43% of pts; the most frequent were clinical neutropenia (18%), febrile neutropenia (FN; 7%) and diarrhea (4%). Of 80 pts (6%) with AEs leading to death, the AE was related to Cbz + P in 39 pts (3%). Conclusions: These results provide valuable data on Cbz + P treatment in routine clinical practice, confirming the safety results of clinical trials and showing that treatment with Cbz + P is associated with a manageable safety profile. The incidence of FN seems slightly lower than in TROPIC, owing to more frequent use of G-CSF prophylaxis in the CUP and EAP. Clinical trial information: NCT01254279.

7 Background: ARN-509 is a novel second-generation anti-androgen that binds directly to the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor, impairing nuclear translocation and DNA binding. The Phase II portion of a multicenter Phase I/II study is evaluating the activity of ARN-509 in 3 distinct patient populations of men with CRPC (high risk non-metastatic CRPC, metastatic treatment-naïve CRPC, and progressive disease after abiraterone acetate). Preliminary results for the cohort of patients with high-risk non-metastatic CRPC are presented here. Methods: All patients had CRPC, no radiographic evidence of metastases (pelvic lymph nodes <3 cm below the iliac bifurcation were allowed), and high risk for disease progression based on PSA value ≥ 8 ng/mL within 3 months of enrollment and/or PSA doubling time ≤ 10 months. Patients received ARN-509 at the recommended Phase II dose of 240 mg/day, previously established in Phase I (Rathkopf et al, GU ASCO 2012). The primary endpoint was PSA response rate at 12 weeks according to the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 Criteria. Secondary endpoints included safety, time to PSA progression and 1-year metastasis-free survival. PSA assessments were collected every 4 weeks and tumor scans were performed every 16 weeks. Results: Forty-seven patients were enrolled between November 2011 and May 2012. The median age was 71 years (range 51 to 88) and at baseline, patients presented with ECOG performance status 0 (77%), Gleason Score 8-10 (32%), and median PSA of 10.7 ng/mL. All patients received prior treatment with a LHRH analog with or without a first-generation anti-androgen. At a median treatment duration of 20 weeks, three patients discontinued the study. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AE) were fatigue (30%), diarrhea (28%), nausea (17%), rash (13%), and abdominal pain (11%). The incidence of Grade 3 AEs was 6.4%, and no seizures have been observed to date. The 12-week PSA response was 91% and the time to PSA progression has not been reached. Conclusions: In men with high-risk non-metastatic CRPC, ARN-509 is safe and well tolerated with promising preliminary activity based on high PSA response rates. Clinical trial information: NCT01171898.

372 Background: Metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients with liver metastases have a poor prognosis. No large studies to date have investigated the clinical and biochemical parameters associated with liver metastases in this population. Methods: Patient data was obtained from 1,281 men with mCRPC that were enrolled on to three phase III clinical trials for the treatment of their disease. This clinical trial data was obtained from Project Data Sphere (www.projectdatasphere.org), an initiative of the CEO Roundtable on Cancer's Life Sciences Consortium. Multiple logistic regression was performed on clinical and biochemical baseline variables to test their association with the presence of liver metastases on baseline CT/MRI imaging. Variables assessed included prior docetaxel exposure, ECOG performance status, albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and total bilirubin. The investigation included lab variables when treated as both dichotomous (based on normal-abnormal ranges) and continuous. Results: Multiple variable analysis demonstrated that an abnormally elevated serum AST and/or LDH was associated with an increased likelihood of having documented radiographic liver metastases (p < 0.0001). The predicted probability of having liver metastases for an abnormally elevated AST or LDH was 13.90% (95% CI 9.12 – 20.59) and 16.80% (95% CI 13.19 – 21.16), respectively. Patients with both an elevated AST and LDH had a 31.31% (95% CI 24.0 – 39.73) probability of having liver metastases as compared to only 6.67% (95% CI 5.17 – 8.57) for those with normal values. The ROC curve for the final model (AST + LDH) containing dichotomous predictors was 0.6683 (p < 0.0001), which was not significantly different when treating the predictors as continuous (p = 0.4858). Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrated a significant association between the presence of liver metastases and elevated serum levels of AST and LDH. More research is needed to validate these biomarkers and determine their application in the clinical setting.

Purpose Several studies have reported that among patients with localized prostate cancer, black men have a shorter overall survival (OS) time than white men, but few data exist for men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary goal of this analysis was to compare the OS in black and white men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were treated in phase III clinical trials with docetaxel plus prednisone (DP) or a DP-containing regimen. Methods Individual participant data from 8,820 men with mCRPC randomly assigned in nine phase III trials to DP or a DP-containing regimen were combined. Race was based on self-report. The primary end point was OS. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the prognostic importance of race (black v white) adjusted for established risk factors common across the trials (age, prostate-specific antigen, performance status, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, and sites of metastases). Results Of 8,820 men, 7,528 (85%) were white, 500 (6%) were black, 424 (5%) were Asian, and 368 (4%) were of unknown race. Black men were younger and had worse performance status, higher testosterone and prostate-specific antigen, and lower hemoglobin than white men. Despite these differences, the median OS was 21.0 months (95% CI, 19.4 to 22.5 months) versus 21.2 months (95% CI, 20.8 to 21.7 months) in black and white men, respectively. The pooled multivariable hazard ratio of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.91) demonstrates that overall, black men have a statistically significant decreased risk of death compared with white men ( P < .001). Conclusion When adjusted for known prognostic factors, we observed a statistically significant increased OS in black versus white men with mCRPC who were enrolled in these clinical trials. The mechanism for these differences is not known.

TPS394 Background: Enzalutamide (Enza) and abiraterone (Abi) are commonly used to treat CRPC. Resistance is the most common cause of treatment failure. We discovered that a critical steroidogenic enzyme AKR1C3 was significantly elevated and contributed to intratumoral androgen synthesis in Enza-resistant prostate cancer cells and tumors. Overexpression of AKR1C3 induced androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) expression, while inhibition of AKR1C3 downregulated AR-V7. We then discovered that indomethacin (Indo) inhibited AKR1C3 activation and sensitized resistant CRPC cells to Enza and Abi. One patient accidentally took Indo and achieved biochemical as well as radiological response of his prostate cancer. These findings prompted us to design a clinical trial to test the combination of Indo with Enza for the treatment of CRPC and to study the underlying mechanisms of action and resistance. Methods: This investigator-initiated single-arm Phase Ib/II trial enrolls patients with progressive CRPC after Abi, adequate vital organ function, ECOG performance status 0-2, and serum testosterone < 50 ng/dl. Major exclusion criteria include prior Enza treatment, brain metastasis and history of seizure. In the Phase Ib cohort, patients receive Enza 160 mg po qd and Indo 50 mg po tid to determine toxicity. The Phase II expansion will enroll 26 patients with 21 evaluable patients. This sample size provides 90% power to detect, at the 0.05 level (1-sided), the difference between a PSA response rate of 50% expected with the study treatment and a historical control of 20% with Enza alone. Co-primary endpoints are safety and PSA response of ≥50% decrease. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate as determined by the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 criteria (PCWG2), progression-free survival and overall survival. Molecular correlative studies are exploratory endpoints. Serum and intratumoral androgen levels, full-length AR, AR-V7 and AKR1C3 will be measured to assess the effect of the combination therapy. To date, 4 patients have been enrolled to the trial (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier No: NCT02935205; this trial is funded by DoD Prostate Cancer Research Program IMPACT award). Clinical trial information: NCT02935205.

TPS383 Background: The addition of either docetaxel or abiraterone acetate plus prednisone to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improves overall survival (OS) compared with ADT alone in men with mHSPC. It is hypothesized that other androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies could be combined with docetaxel for mHSPC. Darolutamide (ODM-201) is an investigational oral AR antagonist with a unique chemical structure and negligible blood-brain barrier penetration that inhibits tumor growth by binding to AR and AR mutants (eg, W742L and F877L) with high affinity and specificity. In phase 1/2 ARADES and phase 1 ARAFOR trials, darolutamide demonstrated antitumor activity and was well tolerated in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). ARASENS will evaluate the addition of darolutamide to standard ADT and docetaxel in men with mHSPC. Methods: This international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial (NCT02799602) is being conducted at > 300 sites in 23 countries. ~1300 men with newly diagnosed mHSPC will be randomized 1:1 to darolutamide (600 mg orally twice daily) or matching placebo. All patients will receive standard ADT + docetaxel (6 cycles). Patients will be stratified by disease extent and alkaline phosphatase level. Key inclusion criteria: histologically or cytologically confirmed PC with documented metastases, started ADT ± first-generation antiandrogen therapy ≤12 weeks before randomization, and ECOG performance status 0-1. The primary end point is OS. Secondary end points include time to mCRPC, initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, symptomatic skeletal event (SSE)-free survival, time to first SSE, first opioid use, pain progression, and worsening of physical symptoms. Safety will be assessed. ARASENS is actively enrolling at > 280 sites across 23 countries. Clinical trial information: NCT02799602.

84 Background: Loss of retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) function has been shown to lead to CRPC and is strongly associated with poor outcome. RB functions as a transcriptional repressor; as such, loss of RB causes de-repression of pro-tumorigenic gene networks, including deregulation of the androgen receptor (AR) locus, excessive AR production, and castration-resistant (ligand independent) AR activity that can bypass hormone therapy. Our hypothesis is that leveraging RB status can direct treatment decisions. The primary objective of the trial (NCT02218606) was to determine the radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of AA/prednisone (AAP) with and without CBZ in mCRPC patients (pts) that have progressed on primary androgen deprivation therapy and no prior AR directed therapy or chemotherapy. Methods: This is a multicenter non-comparative randomized phase 2 trial. Pts were randomized 1:1 to AAP with crossover to CBZ upon AAP failure (Arm 1), or the combination of AAP + CBZ (Arm 2). Randomization was stratified by the CALGB 90401 prognostic risk groups. The primary endpoint was rPFS (time from randomization to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurs first). Arms were analyzed separately. Results: Between October 2014 and March 2019, 93 pts were accrued; 81 were randomized. Median age was 68 years and ECOG performance status was 0 or 1. Endpoints are shown in Table. Therapies were well tolerated. Conclusions: Results of AAP + CBZ (Arm 2) in chemotherapy naïve pts suggest that men may derive benefit from the earlier use of CBZ with acceptable toxicity, supporting further study of this combination in mCRPC pts. Circulating Tumor Cells are being analyzed for changes in RB/AR expression. Managed by: Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium; Funding: Sanofi US; Support: Prostate Cancer Foundation.

TPS264 Background: TALA is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that inhibits PARP1/2 and traps PARP on DNA, preventing DNA damage repair (DDR) and causing death of cells with DDR mutations (eg BRCA1/2). TALA is approved in multiple countries for germline BRCA1/2-mutated HER2- advanced breast cancer. ENZA is an established therapy for CRPC. PARP1 activity has been shown to support AR function, suggesting that co-blockade of PARP1 may synergize with AR-directed therapy, regardless of DDR deficiency. A combination of TALA with ENZA in mCRPC may improve clinical outcomes in patients with or without DDR-deficient tumors. TALAPRO-2 (NCT03395197) is a 2-part study to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient (pt)-reported outcomes (PROs) of the combination. Methods: Enrollment goal is 1037 pts (19 pts, part 1 dose-finding; 1,018 pts, part 2 placebo-controlled). Key eligibility criteria: age ≥18 y, asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic mCRPC, ECOG performance status ≤1, no brain metastases, and no prior life-prolonging systemic therapy in nonmetastatic CRPC or mCRPC state. Prior docetaxel or novel hormonal therapy (excluding novel AR inhibitors) in castration sensitive (CSPC) setting is allowed. The randomized double-blind portion will evaluate safety, efficacy, and PROs of TALA (0.5 mg QD) + ENZA (160 mg QD) vs placebo + ENZA (160 mg QD). Randomization is stratified by prior NHT or docetaxel for CSPC (yes/no) and DDR mutation status (deficient vs nondeficient/unknown). The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), defined as time to progression in soft tissue per RECIST v.1.1 or in bone per PCWG3 criteria or death. The key secondary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Efficacy will be assessed by radiography every 8 weeks up to week 25 and every 8–12 weeks thereafter. rPFS will be compared between two arms by a 1-sided stratified log-rank test. Pt recruitment is ongoing in multiple regions including US, Europe/Eastern Europe, Israel, South America, South Africa, and Asia Pacific region. This study was sponsored by Pfizer Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT03395197.

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.
