202 Background: Ra-223 is an approved α-emitter prolonging survival in CRPC with symptomatic bone mets. We conducted a phase 1/2a study examining the safety and antitumor effects of Ra-223 + D vs D alone, and previously presented data showing that Ra-223 + D is safe and well tolerated (ESMO 2014). Here we report the effect of Ra-223 + D vs D on bALP and PSA dynamics. Methods: D-eligible pts with progressing CRPC and ≥ 2 bone mets were randomized 2:1 to Ra-223 (50 kBq/kg q 6 wk × 5) + D (60 mg/m2 q 3 wk × 10) vs D (75 mg/m2 q 3 wk with step-down option to 60 mg/m2). bALP and PSA were recorded q 3 wk during first 6-wk cycle, then q 6 wk and q 3 wk, respectively, and analyzed at a central laboratory. Changes in both markers are described by the % of pts who achieved ≥ 30%, > 50%, and > 80% declines between baseline and the safety follow-up visit (3 wk post last D injection) as their best response; pts with elevated baseline bALP (≥ 21 µg/L) levels were included for the bALP analysis. bALP to below the upper limit of normal (ULN) was also recorded, regardless of % decline. Results: 46 pts (33 Ra-223 + D vs 13 D alone) were enrolled. As of October 2014, 21 (Ra-223 + D) vs 5 (D) pts had received all planned study treatment. Median (range) baseline PSA was 99 µg/L (3-1000) for Ra-223 + D pts and 43 µg/L (4-1042) for D pts. Maximal changes in PSA and bALP levels between baseline and safety follow-up are shown in Table. No pt had a bALP increase. Conclusions: Ra-223 + D appears to favorably impact posttreatment PSA and bALP declines. Ra-223 + D appears particularly effective at normalizing bALP levels vs D alone. The clinical benefits of such changes in serum markers will require validation in larger prospective studies. Clinical trial information: NCT01106352. [Table: see text]

136 Background: Radiotherapy to the Prostate in mHSPC improves overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS) for patients with low-volume-disease[1]. Radium-223 in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves OS [2]. We conducted a prospective phase 1/2 clinical trial in mHSPC, testing the combination of with LHRHa, concurrent pelvic radiotherapy and radium-223. Methods: Thirty patients were recruited with mHSPC; they had a minimum of 3 bone metastases (majority had > 20 bone mets), nil visceral metastases, PS0-1. Patients were encouraged to receive up front docetaxel. They were treated with ongoing LHRHa, pelvic radiotherapy aiming for 74Gy in 37 fractions to prostate PTV with 60Gy concomitantly delivered to pelvic nodal PTV. Concurrently, patients received radium-223, 55kBq/kg for 6 cycles q28 days; fraction 1 radiotherapy was synchronous with cycle 1 day 1 radium-223. Results: Median age was 63 years and 28 (93%) received at least 4 cycles of docetaxel. One patient received prostate only radiotherapy due to bowel constraints. Three patients had cycle 6 radium-223 omitted. At a median follow-up of 28 months, there have been 415 Adverse events, (3% Grade >3), and 6 serious adverse events (SAEs) ( 2 episodes of UTI, 1 each of cystitis non-infective, cardiac chest pain, pyrexia and AKI). Commonest AEs by number were: leucopenia, neutropenia, and diarrhoea. Ten SSE’s have occurred including 8 courses of palliative radiotherapy for bone pain, 1 course of radiotherapy for impending MSCC and 1 pathological fracture. At median follow up 28.0 months, median biochemical PFS is 17.9 months, median OS not yet reached. Conclusions: This trial shows clear tolerability and promising early efficacy data requiring further exploration in a randomised phase 3 trial. Clinical trial information: 2014-000273-39.

126 Background: ADXS-PSA, an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes-based immunotherapy targeting prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is currently being evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab as a treatment for progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the phase 1/2 KEYNOTE-046 trial (Part B). Methods: A total of 37 patients received 1x109 CFU + 200 mg pembro IV every 3 wks, for up to 2 yrs or until progression/toxicity. Results: At entry, patients were ~70 yrs with median a Gleason score of 9, and bone predominant disease (70%). MSI-High was negative in 36 pts who were able to be tested. Eighteen (48.6%) patients had received prior docetaxel, 15 pts of whom (83.3%) had also received 1-2 next generation hormonal agents (NGHAs). Nineteen (51.3%) had not received prior docetaxel and 16 of these pts (84.2%) had received 1-2 NGHAs. Overall, 16 out of 37 pts (43%) had a decreased PSA post-BL with 6/37 (16%) pts achieving a confirmed PSA reduction ≥50% from baseline. The median OS (months) for the whole group (37 pts) was 33.6 m (95% CI, range 15.4-33.6 months). The mOS for pts with and without prior exposure to docetaxel was 16 m (5.9 -33.6) and NR at 30 months of follow-up (15.4-NR), respectively. Prolonged survival was observed in pts regardless of prior therapies, microsatellite stable (MSS) status or PSA delta <50% or ≥50%. Conclusions: Results with ADXS-PSA in combination with pembrolizumab in mCRPC, with or without prior docetaxel, show promising clinical activity to be further assessed in randomized studies. Clinical trial information: NCT02325557.

178 Background: Radium-223 (Ra-223) treatment (tx) is indicated for patients (pts) with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and symptomatic bone metastases (mets) (6 × 55 kBq/kg IV injections [inj]; 1 inj q4wk). Early results of an international, open-label, phase 1/2 study (NCT01934790) showed that re-treating pts with Ra-223 was well tolerated with favorable effects on disease progression. Here we report safety and efficacy findings from a 2-year follow-up. Methods: Pts with CRPC and bone mets who completed 6 initial Ra-223 inj with no disease progression in bone and later progressed were eligible for Ra-223 re-tx (6 additional Ra-223 inj), provided that hematologic parameters were adequate. No concomitant cytotoxic agents were allowed; other concomitant agents (eg, abiraterone, enzalutamide) were allowed at investigator discretion. The primary objective was safety. Exploratory objectives were time to radiographic bone progression, radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), overall survival (OS), time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE), and SSE-free survival, all calculated from re-tx start. Pts will be followed for safety up to 7 years after last Ra-223 dose; an active 2-year follow-up evaluated exploratory objectives. Safety results from the active follow-up period and updated efficacy are reported. Results: 44 pts were re-treated with Ra-223; 29 (66%) completed all 6 inj (median number inj = 6). 34 (77%) of 44 pts entered active follow-up, during which no new safety concerns were noted. One new primary malignancy was reported (basal cell carcinoma). There were no serious drug-related adverse events. 19 (43%) of 44 pts had an rPFS event (radiographic progression or death); median rPFS was 9.9 months. Only 5 (11%) of 44 pts had radiographic bone progression; median time to radiographic bone progression was not reached. Median OS was 24.4 months. Median time to first SSE and SSE-free survival were 16.7 and 12.8 months, respectively. Conclusions: Re-treating with Ra-223 was well tolerated in this select pt population, led to minimal hematologic toxicity, and provided continued disease control in bone at 2-year follow-up. Clinical trial information: NCT01934790.

BACKGROUND Recent large-scale randomized studies have demonstrated that 2 new hormone preparations (abiraterone and enzalutamide) prolong survival in docetaxel-treated or -naïve castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. However, no studies have directly compared antitumor effects between these 2 agents, and no clear guidelines are available for choosing between them. OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical study is to compare antitumor effects and adverse events between abiraterone and enzalutamide by allocating castration-resistant prostate cancer patients deemed not indicated for docetaxel treatment to receive either of the 2 agents. METHODS This study is an open-label, comparative study allocating castration-resistant prostate cancer patients to abiraterone or enzalutamide treatment arms (allocation factors: age <70 vs ≥70 years, and presence vs absence of metastases) and assessing the treatment results. Each arm will contain 25 patients. On confirmation of prostate-specific antigen failure or progression on imaging, patients undergo crossover to receive the alternative study drug. The primary end point is prostate-specific antigen response rate (percentage of patients with a decrease in prostate-specific antigen level by ≥50%) in the abiraterone and enzalutamide treatment arms. RESULTS Recruitment started in May 2016, and 13 patients have been recruited so far. We expect to complete enrollment by December 2020. CONCLUSIONS Recently, cross-resistance between abiraterone and enzalutamide has been an issue of focus. Urologists thus tend to prefer docetaxel rather than sequential therapies using 2 hormonal preparations after the progression of a first hormonal preparation. From that perspective, our clinical trial is rather out of fashion. Nevertheless, we assume that many patients receive hormonal sequential therapy in the actual clinical setting, since most such patients cannot receive chemotherapeutic agents due to old age or poor performance status. This is why we are attempting this randomized clinical trial comparing abiraterone versus enzalutamide. We will try to identify which drug is suitable for initial hormonal therapy among castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who do not meet the indications for docetaxel therapy in terms of not only antitumor effect, but also adverse events and quality of life.
