184 Background: In study COU-AA-302 of chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC, AA plus prednisone (AA) significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival vs placebo plus prednisone (P). There is limited information about response to subsequent therapy after AA. In this post hoc analysis of pts in the AA treatment arm who progressed, we evaluated the clinical outcome to chemotherapy as first subsequent therapy. Methods: In COU-AA-302, 546 pts were randomized and received AA. Clinical outcome and discontinuation data from pts receiving chemotherapy as first subsequent therapy after progressing on AA were collected retrospectively and source verified. Median time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 73% (365/502; 44 still continuing on AA) of pts in the AA treatment arm received ≥ 1 subsequent therapy. Chemotherapy, docetaxel (DOC) or cabazitaxel (CBZ), was the most common first subsequent therapy. As of March 2014, following AA on study 53% (265/502) of pts received taxane chemotherapy (261 DOC, 4 CBZ) as first subsequent therapy. Median duration of first subsequent chemotherapy, mainly DOC, was 3 months (IQR, 1.0-5.0). Results are summarized (Table). Conclusions: This post hoc analysis describes antitumor activity in pts who progressed with AA and received taxane chemotherapy as first subsequent therapy. Despite the limitations of a retrospective analysis, these data support further assessment of subsequent therapies following AA treatment for mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198.

21 Background: In study COU-AA-302 of men with mCRPC and no prior chemotherapy, AA plus prednisone (hereafter AA) significantly increased radiographic progression-free survival. There is limited information about response to subsequent AS-directed therapies following AA. In this post hoc analysis of pts who received AA during study COU-AA-302, we evaluated clinical response to subsequent AA or enzalutamide (ENZ). Methods: In COU-AA-302, 546 pts were randomized and received AA. Subsequent response and discontinuation data from 88 pts receiving AS-directed therapy after study were collected retrospectively, source verified, and entered into the database. Median time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression with 95% confidence intervals was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: As of May 2013, following AA on study, 55 pts received subsequent AA and 33 received subsequent ENZ. 69% (38/55) of pts in the AA then AA group and 67% (22/33) pts in the AA then ENZ group received intervening chemotherapy. Baseline patient characteristics were similar across both groups and to the overall COU-AA-302 population. Median (range) exposure to subsequent therapy was 4 (1-20) months for AA and 5 (1-12) months for ENZ. Response to subsequent AA or ENZ is summarized in the Table. Conclusions: In this post hoc analysis, pts previously treated with AA experienced modest clinical response on subsequent treatment with either AA or ENZ. These data support further studies of subsequent AS-targeted drugs following treatment with AA for mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198. [Table: see text]

168 Background: Treatment patterns of mCRPC have changed substantially in the last few years. In COU-AA-302 (chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC), abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AA) significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival vs placebo plus prednisone (P). There is limited information about treatment patterns after AA. In this post hoc analysis of pts in the AA treatment arm who progressed, we characterized subsequent therapy after pts discontinued study drug. Methods: In COU-AA-302, 546 pts were randomized and received AA. Treatment patterns of pts receiving ≥ 1 subsequent therapy for mCRPC after progressing on AA were collected retrospectively and source verified. Results: As of March 2014, 8% (44/546) of pts continued on AA; 67% (365/546) received ≥ 1 subsequent therapy for mCRPC. 36% (194/546) and 15% (83/546) of pts had ≥ 2 and ≥ 3 subsequent therapies, respectively. 80% (435/543) of pts in the P arm had ≥ 1 subsequent therapy. Most frequent subsequent therapy in AA pts was taxane chemotherapy (docetaxel [DOC], cabazitaxel [CBZ]), androgen signaling–directed therapy (AA, enzalutamide [ENZ], ketoconazole [KETO]), and immunotherapy (sipuleucel-T [SIP-T]) (Table). Among AA pts who received DOC as first subsequent therapy, median age was 69 years; median duration of DOC post-AA (n = 261) was 3 months (IQR: 0.95-5.7); and PSA progression was the most common reason for discontinuation. Among AA pts with baseline PSA and ≥ 1 post-baseline PSA value, 40% (40/100) had ≥ 50% PSA decline (27/100 confirmed responses) with first subsequent DOC chemotherapy. Conclusions: This post hoc analysis indicates that treatment with subsequent therapy was common (67% and 80%) in pts with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC who progressed with AA or P, respectively. PSA decline suggests antitumor activity in pts who progressed with AA and received subsequent DOC. Despite limitations of a retrospective analysis, these data support further assessment of subsequent therapy following AA treatment for mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198.

20 Background: GS is strongly prognostic in localized PC but is less so in mCRPC (Halabi S, J Clin Oncol 2003; Armstrong AJ, Eur J Cancer 2010). Pts with high-risk localized PC and high GS who undergo radiation therapy benefit from long-term androgen deprivation therapy (Horwitz EM, J Clin Oncol 2008). In mCRPC, the impact of GS at initial diagnosis on response to AA therapy is unknown. We retrospectively evaluated efficacy outcomes in pts with mCRPC treated with AA plus prednisone (P) vs P alone in pivotal studies COU-AA-301 (post-docetaxel) and COU-AA-302 (chemo-naive) by GS (≥ 8 or < 8). Methods: 1,048 pts in COU-AA-301 and 996 in COU-AA-302 with mCRPC treated with AA 1 g + P 5 mg po BID or placebo + P had GS data at diagnosis. Efficacy end points evaluated: overall survival (OS), radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), and time to prostate-specific antigen progression (TTPP) (de Bono JS, NEJM 2011; Fizazi K, Lancet Oncol 2012; Ryan CR, NEJM 2013). Distributions and medians were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval were estimated by the Cox model. Results: Proportion of pts with GS ≥ 8 and GS < 8 was similar across treatment groups and studies. Outcomes by GS are summarized in the Table. Conclusions: GS (≥ 8 or < 8) at initial diagnosis was not predictive of treatment benefit of AA + P vs P alone in post-docetaxel and chemo-naïve pts with mCRPC, with both groups benefiting. In this era of novel androgen signaling targeted agents, GS may not be relevant in predicting efficacy with AA for pts with mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT00638690, NCT00887198.

27 Background: Prognostic models have been developed for men with mCRPC. In this analysis we undertook a pragmatic approach to focus on commonly obtained markers. Baseline ALP and normalization of elevated ALP post-docetaxel have prognostic value for overall survival (OS). We examined the association between ALP and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) elevation at baseline and after 4 cycles of therapy (C5D1), when both markers were assessed, with long-term clinical outcomes in COU-AA-302, a randomized phase 3 study of abiraterone acetate (AA) in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC pts. Methods: 1,088 pts were randomized 1:1 to AA (1 g) + prednisone (P) (5 mg BID) or placebo + P. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and OS were co-primary end points. The study design, as well as primary and secondary end point results obtained at the time of a prespecified interim analysis at 55% OS events, have been described in detail previously. The effect of elevated ALP (above upper limit of normal) and PSA (above 106.2 µg/mL, baseline third quartile) status on rPFS and OS was assessed retrospectively using a stratified Cox regression model that included treatment and baseline factors log (lactate dehydrogenase), hemoglobin, whether patient had only bone metastasis, and age. Results: Elevated status of ALP and PSA were independent significant predictors of increased risk for outcomes at baseline as well as after 4 cycles of therapy (Table). Conclusions: These post hoc analyses of data from COU-AA-302 suggest that elevated ALP and PSA at baseline and during treatment confers individual and additive risk for adverse clinical outcomes in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC.

253 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA) provided a survival advantage compared to placebo in patients (pts) with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who had received docetaxel (de Bono JS et al, NEJM 2011). The present retrospective study is aimed to assess safety and clinical outcome in an unselected CRPC population which received AA in a named patient program (NPP). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of all pts treated with AA for CRPC by NPP in our institutions. All pts have been previously treated with a docetaxel-based first-line chemotherapy and received the standard AA dose of 1,000 mg daily plus prednisone 10 mg daily. For each pt we recorded the pre- and post-AA clinical history, the AA treatment details toxicities and clinical outcomes. Results: To date we have collected a consecutive series of 245 pts from 18 Italian hospitals. The median age was 73 (range 45 to 91). The median baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 100 ng/ml (range 0.33->100.000); 79% of the pts had bone metastases, while nodal, lung and liver metastases were observed in 52%, 9%, and 7% of the pts, respectively. The median duration of AA treatment was 5 months (range, 1 to 26). Grade 3 to 4 toxicities were anemia (11 pts), fatigue (nine pts), bone pain (four pts), constipation (two pts), thrombocytopenia (two pts), nausea (one pt), diarrhea (one pt), dyspnea (one pt), edema (one pt), hypertension (one pt), hyperbilirubinemia (one pt), and hypokaliemia (one pt). A PSA reduction of more than 50% was observed in 50.9% of the pts. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 6 months and 15 months, respectively; the 1 year PFS and OS rates were 24.3% and 56.9%, respectively. Conclusions: Our results have confirmed the safety and efficacy of AA in an unselected population of pts with pre-treated CRPC outside clinical trials and provided further support concerning the good safety profile of the drug.

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.

Aim: To evaluate prostate-specific antigen response (PSAr) defined as a ≥50% decrease in PSA concentration from the pretreatment value, as a prognostic factor in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone acetate (AA). Methods: Retrospective evaluation of patients with mCRPC treated with AA. Results: 124 patients were identified. Median overall survival and progression-free survival for patients achieving PSAr versus patients without PSAr were 29.3 versus 9.7 months and 17.0 versus 5.2 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis confirmed that PSAr correlated with better overall survival (hazard ratio: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.10−0.38; p < 0.001) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.14−0.41; p < 0.001). Conclusion: PSAr can be utilized as prognostic and predictive factors in mCRPC patients treated with AA.
