235 Background: New emerging therapies for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), such as cabazitaxel (CBZ), have prompted the need to identify appropriate patients (pts) for each specific treatment. We describe preliminary data on the experience with CBZ in patients (pts) with mCRPC in Spain. Methods: Medical records from docetaxel-resistant mCRPC pts receiving CBZ at 15 centers in Spain were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics, PSA response, overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and toxicity were collected. Results: Data from 79 consecutive pts (median age 70) were reviewed: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) zero to one (87.3%), Gleason score of 7 to 10 (87.1%), visceral involvement (24.1%), pain (74.7%), and radiological progression (68.4%) at CBZ initiation. Median duration of response to first-line androgen deprivation therapy was 20.8 months (mo). Most pts received less than or equal to two hormonal lines (72.2%) and only one docetaxel line (74.7%) before CBZ. Thirty-five (44.3%) pts had progressed on docetaxel. Progression less than six mo or greater than six mo after last docetaxel treatment was observed in 23 (29.1%) and 21 (26.6%) pts, respectively. New hormonal agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) were given before CBZ in 2.5% of pts and after CBZ in 17.7%. Pts received a median of seven cycles (range 2 to 22) of CBZ. CBZ dose-reductions or -delays for any cause occurred in eight (10.1%) and 20 (25.3%) pts, respectively. Prophylactic G-CSF was given in 32 (40.5%) pts. A PSA decrease of greater than or equal to 50% and greater than or equal to 30% was reached in 41.2% and 48.6% of pts treated with CBZ. Median OS from first CBZ cycle was 16.2 [CI: 10.4;-] mo and median clinical and/or radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was 9.9 mo [CI: 7.4; 13.1]. Fourteen (17.7%) pts experienced at least one grade greater than or equal to 3 treatment-related AE, the most common being neutropenia (n=4), febrile neutropenia (n=2), asthenia (n=4), and diarrhoea (n=2). No grade greater than or equal to 3 peripheral neuropathy was reported. An analysis of factors predicting outcome will be presented. Conclusions: CBZ administered in real-life practice and in the adequate treatment setting in Spain is associated with meaningful PFS and OS and an acceptable safety profile. Dose delays and reductions were low. Prophylactic G-CSF use in 4 out of 10 pts may have contributed to these good results.

303 Background: Abiraterone acetate (a prodrug of abiraterone, which is a selective inhibitor of androgen biosynthesis) combined with prednisone/prednisolone (AA+P) and enzalutamide (ENZ) (an androgen-receptor–signalling inhibitor) have proven survival benefit in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in chemo naïve and prior chemo patients. There have been no studies directly comparing the effectiveness of ENZ to AA+P in mCRPC patients. Methods: A retrospective, survival analysis study of 143 real world mCRPC patients (90 in AA+P and 53 in ENZ group) was conducted. Patients who started their treatment between 1st February 2012 and 31st May 2016 were included. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS). Data was analysed using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for covariates: prior radical or palliative treatment; Gleason score; baseline PSA; age; and chemo naïve or not. Results: After median follow up of 15 months (IQR 7 to 23) 112 events of biochemical progression were observed (71 in AA+P and 41 in ENZ). 41%in AA+P group and 30% patients in ENZ group received prior chemo. The chance of biochemical progression was significantly lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (Hazard Ratio 0.54, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.82, p=0.004. There was a trend implying the chance of rPFS could be higher among ENZ patients than AA+P patients (HR 1.24, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.02, p=0.4). OS is lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.41, p=0.7). 38% of ENZ patients reported fatigue compared to 16% of AA+P patients while hypertension was reported slightly more in AA+P patients than in ENZ patients. Conclusions: This study showed a statistically significant difference in biochemical progression-free survival, favouring ENZ, but no significant difference in radiographic progression-free survival or overall survival.

Abstract Background Cabazitaxel is a treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after docetaxel failure. The FUJI cohort aimed to confirm the real-life overall and progression-free survival (OS, PFS) and safety of cabazitaxel. Methods Multicentre, non-interventional cohort of French mCRPC patients initiating cabazitaxel between 2013 and 2015, followed 18 months. Results Four hundred one patients were recruited in 42 centres. At inclusion, median age was 70, main metastatic sites were bones (87%), lymph nodes (42%) and visceral (20%). 18% had cabazitaxel in 2nd-line treatment, 39% in 3rd-line and 43% in 4th-line or beyond. All had prior docetaxel, and 82% prior abiraterone, enzalutamide or both. Median duration of cabazitaxel treatment was 3.4 months. Median OS from cabazitaxel initiation was 11.9 months [95% CI: 10.1–12.9]. In multivariate analyses, grade ≥ 3 adverse events, visceral metastases, polymedication, and >5 bone metastases were associated with a shorter OS. Main grade ≥ 3 adverse events were haematological with 8% febrile neutropenia. Conclusion Real-life survival with cabazitaxel in FUJI was shorter than in TROPIC (pivotal trial, median OS 15.1 months) or PROSELICA (clinical trial 20 vs 25 mg/m2, median OS, respectively, 13.4 and 14.5 months). There was no effect of treatment-line on survival. No unexpected adverse concerns were identified. Study registration It was registered with the European Medicines Agency EUPASS registry, available at www.encepp.eu, as EUPAS10391. It has been approved as an ENCEPP SEAL study.

Background: There is emerging evidence that radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) is highly correlated with overall survival (OS), potentially serving as an indicator of treatment outcome for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The objective of this study is to assess rPFS and prostate specific antigen (PSA) response in sequential treatment using androgen signaling inhibitors (ASIs) including abiraterone and enzalutamide in newly diagnosed CRPC. Methods: Propensity score matching was performed to reduce bias by confounding factors between first-line ASIs. The primary endpoints of the study included rPFS, time to PSA progression (TTPP), and PSA response. Results: A paired-matched group of 184 patients were identified. From the initiation of first-line ASIs, there was no significant difference in rPFS, TTPP, and PSA response between treatment arms. From the initiation of second-line ASIs, enzalutamide following abiraterone consistently exhibited longer rPFS (median: 7 and 15 months, p = 0.04), TTPP, and better PSA response compared to the reverse, whereas OS did not reach significance (median: 14 and 23 months, p = 0.35). Conclusion: Although the effect of ASIs as the first line was similar, the extent of cross-resistance might differ towards less resistance in enzalutamide following abiraterone than the reverse.

Background: Real-world data on chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone plus prednisone are limited, largely deriving from small retrospective studies. Methods: ABitude is an Italian, observational, prospective, multicenter study of mCRPC patients receiving abiraterone plus prednisone in clinical practice. Chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients were consecutively enrolled at abiraterone start (February 2016 to June 2017) and are being followed for 3 years, with evaluation approximately every 6 months. Several clinical and patients reported outcomes were examined. Results: In this second interim analysis, among 481 enrolled patients, 453 were evaluable for analyses. At baseline, the median age was 77 years and ~69% of patients had comorbidities (mainly cardiovascular diseases). Metastases were located mainly at bones and lymph nodes; 8.4% of patients had visceral metastases. During a median follow-up of 18 months, 1- and 2-year probability of radiographic progression-free survival were 73.9% and 56.2%, respectively; the corresponding rates for overall survival were 87.3% and 70.4%. In multivariable analyses, the number of bone metastases significantly affected radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival. During abiraterone plus prednisone treatment, 65% of patients had a ⩾50% prostate-specific antigen decline, and quality of life remained appreciably high. Among symptomatic patients according to the Brief Pain Inventory) (32%), scores significantly declined after 6 months of treatment. Overall, eight patients (1.7%) had serious adverse reactions to abiraterone. Conclusions: Abiraterone plus prednisone is effective and safe for chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients in clinical practice.

PURPOSE Enzalutamide, a potent androgen-receptor inhibitor, has demonstrated significant benefits in metastatic and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). METHODS ARCHES (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02677896 ) is a multinational, double-blind, phase III trial, wherein 1,150 men with mHSPC were randomly assigned 1:1 to enzalutamide (160 mg/day) or placebo, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), stratified by disease volume and prior docetaxel chemotherapy. The primary end point was radiographic progression-free survival. RESULTS As of October 14, 2018, the risk of radiographic progression or death was significantly reduced with enzalutamide plus ADT versus placebo plus ADT (hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.30 to 0.50; P < .001; median not reached v 19.0 months). Similar significant improvements in radiographic progression-free survival were reported in prespecified subgroups on the basis of disease volume and prior docetaxel therapy. Enzalutamide plus ADT significantly reduced the risk of prostate-specific antigen progression, initiation of new antineoplastic therapy, first symptomatic skeletal event, castration resistance, and reduced risk of pain progression. More men achieved an undetectable prostate-specific antigen level and/or an objective response with enzalutamide plus ADT ( P < .001). Patients in both treatment groups reported a high baseline level of quality of life, which was maintained over time. Grade 3 or greater adverse events were reported in 24.3% of patients who received enzalutamide plus ADT versus 25.6% of patients who received placebo plus ADT, with no unexpected adverse events. CONCLUSION Enzalutamide with ADT significantly reduced the risk of metastatic progression or death over time versus placebo plus ADT in men with mHSPC, including those with low-volume disease and/or prior docetaxel, with a safety analysis that seems consistent with the safety profile of enzalutamide in previous clinical trials in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
