e570 Background: In post-docetaxel setting of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), survival benefit with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide is well established. This retrospective study was performed with the data obtained our cancer chemotherapy registry to evaluate real-world mCRPC patient outcomes. Methods: All consecutive patients treated with either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in post-docetaxel setting between 2013 and 2014 were included. The decision for administering second-line agents was, in most cases, at the discretion of the treating oncologists. The primary endpoint of this study was overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints included safety, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response ( ≥ 50% decline) and progression-free survival (PFS). Univariate and multivariate analyses for OS were performed on the recognized baseline parameters and therapy. Results: A total of 54 eligible mCRPC patients received either abiraterone acetate (n = 25) or enzalutamide (n = 29). At the time of commencing second-line therapy, the patients’ median age was 70 years (range, 45-86) and 30 patients (56%) had a symptomatic disease. Visceral disease was present in 12 patients, and 12 had bone-only metastasis. Both were well-tolerated without significant toxicities. PSA response was observed in 36% and 52% for abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide, respectively. The estimated median PFS and OS were 5 and 15 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of clinical symptoms was the only independent prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions: Within the limitation of small sample size, the results are consistent with existing literature suggesting that both abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide appear to be effective as second-line therapy for docetaxel-pretreated mCRPC.

324 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains a standard of care in the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer. But thanks to a few key trials (STAMPEDE, CHAARTED, and LATITUDE) reported within the past three years, docetaxel and abiraterone now have roles in extending overall survival in a patient population traditionally treated with ADT alone. These treatments when combined with ADT have been shown to extend overall survival in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients. The role of ADT in relation to other therapies continues to evolve rapidly. We intend to revisit ADT’s longstanding role in prostate cancer treatment using a national cancer database. Our aim is to look beyond traditional standards of care to identify patients more likely to have overall survival benefit from ADT. Are there any subgroups of patients with intermediate or high risk disease that have improved survival outcomes with androgen deprivation therapy, besides patients with localized disease that underwent radiation? Could there be other variables besides PSA and localization of the prostate cancer that should be considered when identifying ADT treatment candidates, or identifying survival trends in these groups? Methods: We are currently analyzing variables present in the National Cancer Database to retrospectively identify predictive factors for overall survival and progression to metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer in locally advanced prostate cancers treated with ADT. We will evaluate time-to-death from the initiation of ADT and from the diagnosis of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The following variables in localized, locally advanced, and metastatic prostate cancer will be analyzed with Statistical Analysis Software: age, locally advanced, site-specific metastasis (M1a, M1b, M1c), Gleason score, local treatment (radical prostatectomy or radiation), stage (T, N, and M), prostate lobe (one vs. both; T2a/b vs. T2c), chemotherapy (date, time from M1 stage), comorbidity score, ethnicity, facility type, insurance, and risk groups (low/intermediate/high as per NCCN guidelines).

e17540 Background: The clinical course in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) can be complicated when patients have disease progression after treatment with 2nd generation hormone therapy (2nd-HT), such as enzalutamide or abiraterone. Currently, limited data exist regarding the optimal choice of chemotherapy for mCRPC after failing 2nd-HT. We sought to evaluate three common chemotherapy regimens in this setting. Methods: We retrospectively identified 150 patients with mCRPC with disease progression on enzalutamide or abiraterone. 92 patients were chemo-naïve, while 58 patients had previously received docetaxel chemotherapy prior to 2nd-HT. After failing 2nd-HT, 90 patients received docetaxel-alone (group A), 33 patients received carboplatin plus docetaxel (group B), while 27 patients received cabazitaxel-alone (Group C). Favorable response was defined by ≥50% reduction in PSA level from baseline after a complete course of chemotherapy. Survival outcome was assessed for 30-month overall survival. Results: Mean (SD) age was 71.2 (8.28), 69.5(8.38) and 67.2 (8.36) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Mean (SD) pre-chemotherapy PSA was 63.8 (138.18), 58.5 (118.15) and 53.7 (88.15) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Mean (SD) Gleason score was 7.9 (1.1), 8.4 (0.88) and 8.1 (1.06) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Patients in group (B) were 2.6 times more likely to have a favorable response compared to group (A) (OR = 2.625, 95%CI: 1.15 - 5.99) and almost 3 times compared to patients in group (C) (OR = 2.975, 95%CI: 1.04 – 8.54) (p-value = 0.0442). We report a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 3.1 (95% CI 1.31-7.35; p = 0.0037) between patients in group (A) versus group (B), and a HR of 4.18 (95% CI 1.58-11.06; p = 0.0037) between patients in group (C) versus group (B). Thirty-month overall survival was 70.7%, 38.9%, and 30.3% for group (B), (A), and (C) respectively (p-value = 0.008). Conclusions: Our data demonstrate improved response and cancer-specific survival in patients with treatment-refractory mCRPC on docetaxel plus carboplatin compared to docetaxel or cabazitaxel alone. Selection bias is inherent in any retrospective study; however, our finding suggests that clinicians may consider docetaxel plus carboplatin in mCRPC patients who fail 2nd-HT. Further prospective studies are warranted.

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.

214 Background: FDA approval of three life-prolonging agents for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has occurred since April 2011. Two agents, abiraterone (abi) and enzalutamide (enza), disrupt androgen signaling. The third, radium-223 dichloride (Ra-223), targets bone metastases via alpha radiation. We sought to explore associations between prior abi/enza progression, number of Ra-223 cycles, prognostic factors, and overall survival (OS). Methods: Forty-two mCRPC patients (pts) treated with Ra-223 were identified. The sample was stratified based on progression (or not) on abi or enza prior to starting Ra-223. Number of Ra-223 doses administered, prognostic variables before Ra-223 treatment, and Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival (OS) were compared. Results: A strong association (p = 0.016) was demonstrated between prior abi/enza failure and number of Ra-223 doses administered. Patients without prior abi/enza failure were more likely to receive ≥ 4 doses of Ra-223 (94.12% vs 60.0%; odds ratio [OR] = 10.667; 95% CI, 1.214 – 93.699; p = 0.033). In comparison, those not receiving at least 4 doses of Ra-223 had a negative predictor in OS (p = .001) with a median survival of 89 days (n = 10; 95% CI, 44.064 – 133.936) compared to 303 days (n=15; 95% CI, 170.452 – 435.548). Patients initiating Ra-223 treatment after abi/enza progression had a higher median PSA (207.5 vs 49.2 ng/mL, p = 0.001), LDH (315 vs 253.5 U/L, p = 0.007) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (191 vs 106 U/L, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our retrospective single institution analysis indicates that mCPRC patients who previously failed abi/enza are significantly less likely to complete 4 or more Ra-223 doses. These patients had significantly worse prostate cancer by a variety of standard prognostic variables. More information is needed from larger data sets to better understand this patient population and to best determine the optimal timing of Ra-223 administration.

77 Background: Lycopene, the carotenoid responsible for the red colors seen in tomatoes, grapefruit, and other foods, has demonstrated synergism with docetaxel in prostate cancer cell culture and tumor xenograft models. This phase II study investigated the clinical activity and safety profile of docetaxel plus lycopene in advanced castrate resistant prostate cancer. Methods: Eligible patients had histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, two rising pre-study prostate specific antigen (PSA) values ≥ 1 ng/ml, and no prior treatment with any chemotherapy, biological therapy, or investigational drug. All patients initially received docetaxel 75mg/m2 every 21 days in combination with lycopene 30 mg orally once daily. The primary endpoint was PSA response rate, defined as the proportion of subjects achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in PSA at any point after starting therapy. Secondary endpoints included median time to PSA progression, duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS). Results: Fourteen patients were screened, and thirteen patients were initiated on protocol therapy. Median age was 77 years (range 55-90). Twelve patients (92%) had bone metastases. Four patients (30%) had bone and visceral metastases. The PSA response rate was 76.9% [95% confidence interval (CI), 46.2-94.9], comprising of ten PSA responses. Two patients had a best response of stable disease, yielding a disease control rate of 92% [95% CI, 57.2-98.2]. Median time to PSA progression was 8 months [95% CI, 3.5-8.7]. Median duration of response was 7.3 months [95% CI, 4.8-13.2]. On 5-year follow-up, median overall survival was 35.1 months [95% CI, 25.7-57.7]. The most frequently reported ( > 15%) non-hematologic adverse events included diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, peripheral neuropathy, weight loss, fatigue, onycholysis, and alopecia. One patient (7%) experienced febrile neutropenia. No patients experienced grade 3 or above anemia. Conclusions: The combination of docetaxel with lycopene led to improved PSA response rate and tolerability in patients with advanced castrate resistant prostate cancer. Docetaxel plus lycopene merits further research in this patient population. Clinical trial information: NCT01882985.
