140 Background: ADT is standard treatment for metastatic PCa. Recently, the E3805 trial reported a survival benefit for (ADT+D) in high volume disease (HVD) patients, whereas the GETUG-15 trial did not demonstrate a survival improvement among a less selected group of patients (pts) with hormone-naïve metastatic PCa. We report an updated analysis of overall survival (OS) of the GETUG 15 trial and aligned the definition of HVD and low volume disease (LVD) subgroups. Methods: Long-termOS was analyzed in the intention-to-treat population (n=385 pts). Additionally, we retrospectively assessed the tumor volume as defined per E3805criteria in all patients enrolled in GETUG 15. Results: See Table. With a median follow-up of 82.9 months (95%CI [80.5-84.3]) (vs 50 months (95%CI [80.5-84.3] in the original analysis), 212 patients (55%) have died. The median OS is 46.5 [39.1-60.6] and 60.9 months [46.1-71.4] in the ADT and in the ADT + D arms, respectively (HR: 0.9 [95%CI: 0.7-1.2]). In HVD patients (n=183, 47.5%), median OS rates were 35.1 months [29.9-44.2] in the ADT alone arm and 39 months [28-52.6] in the ADT+D arm (HR: 0.8 [0.6-1.2]). Conclusions: With longer follow-up, the addition of docetaxel to ADT did not significantly improve OS in patients with hormone-naïve metastatic prostate cancer. In the retrospective analysis using aligned definition of volume of metastasis as E3805, the HVD outcomes were similar to E3805 for ADT alone and there was a non-significant 4 months increase in OS with ADT+D, in this underpowered subset.

Purpose Docetaxel added to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly increases the longevity of some patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Herein, we present the outcomes of the CHAARTED (Chemohormonal Therapy Versus Androgen Ablation Randomized Trial for Extensive Disease in Prostate Cancer) trial with more mature follow-up and focus on tumor volume. Patients and Methods In this phase III study, 790 patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer were equally randomly assigned to receive either ADT in combination with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 for up to six cycles or ADT alone. The primary end point of the study was overall survival (OS). Additional analyses of the prospectively defined low- and high-volume disease subgroups were performed. High-volume disease was defined as presence of visceral metastases and/or ≥ four bone metastases with at least one outside of the vertebral column and pelvis. Results At a median follow-up of 53.7 months, the median OS was 57.6 months for the chemohormonal therapy arm versus 47.2 months for ADT alone (hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.89; P = .0018). For patients with high-volume disease (n = 513), the median OS was 51.2 months with chemohormonal therapy versus 34.4 months with ADT alone (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.79; P < .001). For those with low-volume disease (n = 277), no OS benefit was observed (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.55; P = .86). Conclusion The clinical benefit from chemohormonal therapy in prolonging OS was confirmed for patients with high-volume disease; however, for patients with low-volume disease, no OS benefit was discerned.

Abstract Abstract 1802 Background: Rituximab maintenance has been shown to be effective in patients with follicular lymphoma. The optimal duration of maintenance remains unknown. Methods: We prospectively registered 270 patients with untreated, chemotherapy resistant or relapsed follicular lymphoma. All patients received rituximab induction consisting of 4 weekly doses (375 mg/m2). Responding patients (PR and CR) were randomized to a short maintenance consisting of four doses of rituximab (375 mg/m2) every two months (arm A) or prolonged maintenance consisting of rituximab every two months for a maximum of five years or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (arm B). Primary endpoint is event-free survival. Here we present the safety analysis results after a median long-term maintenance period of 3.3 years. Results: From October 2004 to November 2007 165 patients were randomized, 82 in arm A and 83 in arm B. The median follow-up time is 3.2 years for arms A and B combined. While receiving maintenance therapy a total of 899 hematological and non-hematological adverse events were observed, 28 of grade 3 and 6 of grade 4. After randomization five patients experienced subsequent cancers. Seven grade 3 and 4 infections were reported. Two grade 3 infections occurred after 2 years of maintenance. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia occurred in 6 (3.6 %) patients, decreased levels of IgG were observed in 24 (14.6 %) patients. In arm B, maintenance was stopped due to unacceptable toxicity in 2 patients after 16 and 42 months respectively and due to subsequent breast cancer in 1 patient after 20 months. One patient died 4 months after randomization because of ileus and consecutive peritonitis, considered to be unrelated to therapy. Sixty-three patients are on maintenance for two or more years of which 48 patients are on for three or more years. Two patients have completed the 5 years of maintenance. Conclusions: Rituximab maintenance beyond two years is feasible without evidence for increased toxicity. However, close follow up of patients under prolonged rituximab maintenance is still necessary. The trial has been closed for accrual but there are still patients on treatment. Disclosures: Taverna: Roche: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees.

10508 Background: We previously demonstrated that imatinib mesylate (IM, Gleevec/Glivec; Novartis Pharma) must not be interrupted after 1 and 3 years (yr) in responding patients (pts) and has to be given continuously until disease progression (PD) or intolerance. The impact of IM re-introduction at progression remains unknown regarding the impact of the interruption on the TSR. Methods: This prospective national multicenter BFR14 study was initiated in June 2002. After 1, 3, and 5 yrs of IM 400mg/day, pts free from progression were randomly offered to continue (C arm) or interrupt (I arm) IM. Pts allocated to the I arm could restart IM (same dose) in case of PD. Primary endpoint was PFS. Pts declining randomization proceed with IM. Results: As of December 2008, 415 pts were included in this trial. Fifty-eight, 50 and 12 (ongoing) non progressive pts at 1, 3 and 5 yrs respectively were randomized in the I and C arm. Pt characteristics were well balanced between the two arms. The median time to progression (TTP) were 7.3 months (m) (rate of relapse: 91% of pts) and 9.4 m (rate of relapse: 84%) in the I arms after 1 and 3 years of treatment. In contrast the median TTP were 31.4 m and not reached in the C arms after 1 and 3 yrs of IM treatment respectively. IM reintroduction in the I arm after a re-progression allowed again a tumor control in 93% (43/46) of pts. The median follow-up from randomization is 56 m and 25 m at 1 and 3 yrs respectively. TSR after randomization to IM (first progression in the C arm, 2nd progression in the I arm) was not significantly different between the two arms (the 2-yrs TSR is similar in both arms 63% and 62% in the I and C arm respectively for the 1-yr randomization, 83.5% and 84.3% for the 3-yr randomization) but the rate of secondary resistance decrease over time in both arms: 40% or relapse in the 2 yrs following the 1 yr randomization vs less than 20% or relapse in the 2 yrs following the 3-yrs randomization. Conclusions: The majority of responding pts relapsed when IM was stopped after 1 and 3 yrs of treatment but response is reinduced in 93% of patients after IM reintroduction. TSR was not significantly affected by treatment interruption in this series of pts. [Table: see text]

57 Background: Our understanding of immunotherapies for prostate cancer (PSA-TRICOM, sipuleucel-T, ipilimumab) is incomplete in that such therapies have improved overall survival (OS) without changes in time to progression (TTP) in randomized trials. In an effort to better understand this discrepancy, we evaluated data from studies of PSA-TRICOM. A pox viral vaccine expressing PSA and 3 T-cell co-stimulatory molecules, PSA-TRICOM has demonstrated PSA-specific immune responses and evidence of clinical activity that supported initiation of a currently accruing Phase III trial. An analysis of NCI PCa trials (including a PSA-TRICOM trial) suggests that immune therapies may eventually slow the growth rate (GR) of tumors, leading to unaltered short term TTP, yet improved OS (Stein et al. Clin Can Res. 2011). Methods: PSA-TRICOM was administered to 50 hormone-naïve patients (pts.) with non-metastatic, castration naive PCa in a multi-center trial (ECOG 9802). Pts were treated every 4 weeks for 3 months, then every 12 weeks (preliminary data previously reported, DiPaola, RS et al. ASCO GU 2009). PSA values were used to calculate tumor GR within the first 100 days of treatment. (Pts were given no additional therapies during this time.) As previously described, a two-phase mathematical equation yielded concomitant PSA GR and regression rate constants.(Stein et. al., 2011) Results: See Table. Conclusions: These data suggest that PSA-TRICOM can alter GR significantly within 3 months. If confirmed in future trials, it could explain why vaccines have demonstrated improved OS without improved TTP. A slowing of the GR may not lead to substantial differences in short term TTP, but may enhance OS in the long term. This concept will be evaluated in an international Phase III trial of PSA-TRICOM in minimally symptomatic, metastatic castration-resistant PCa that is currently recruiting pts.

LBA5002 Background: High-risk, localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients have a relatively poor prognosis. We hypothesized that the addition of adjuvant docetaxel and prednisone to long-term (24 month) AS and radiation therapy (RT) would improve overall survival (OS). Methods: RTOG 0521 opened December 2005 and closed August 2009 with targeted accrual of 600 cases. It was designed to detect improvement in 4-year OS from 86% to 93% with a 51% hazard reduction (HR = 0.49). Under a 0.05 1-sided type I error and 90% power, at least 78 deaths were required to analyze the OS endpoint. Patients had 1) Gleason (Gl) 7-8, any T-stage, and PSA > 20, or 2) Gl 8, ≥ T2, any PSA, or 3) Gl 9-10, any T-stage, any PSA. All had PSA ≤ 150. RT dose was 75.6 Gy. CT consisted of 6, 21-day cycles of docetaxel + prednisone starting 28 days after RT. Results: Of 612 enrolled, 50 were excluded for eligibility issues, leaving 562 evaluable. Median age = 66, median PSA = 15.1, 53% had Gl 9-10, 27% had cT3-4. Median follow-up = 5.5 yrs. 4-yr OS rates were 89% [95% CI: 84-92%] for the AS+RT arm and 93% [95% CI: 90-96%] for the AS+RT+CT arm (1-sided p = 0.03, HR = 0.68 [95% CI: 0.44, 1.03]). There were 52 centrally-reviewed deaths in the AS+RT arm and 36 in the AS+RT+CT arm, with fewer deaths both due to PCa/treatment (20 vs 16) and due to other causes/unknown (32 vs 20) in the AS+RT+CT arm. 5-yr disease-free survival rates were 66% for AS+RT and 73% for AS+RT+CT (2-sided p = 0.05, HR = 0.76 [95% CI: 0.57, 1.00]). There was 1, Gr 5 unlikely-related adverse event (AE) in the AS+RT arm and 2, Gr 5 possibly/probably-related AEs with AS+RT+CT. Conclusions: For high-risk, localized PCa, adjuvant CT improved the OS from 89% to 93% at 4 years. Toxicity was acceptable. This trial was designed with a short OS assessment period and additional follow-up is warranted to determine the long-term benefit of CT to the current standard of care of long-term AS+RT.
