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.

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.

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).

366 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with LHRH-agonists and anti-androgens, is established in the management of prostate cancer and is administered by urologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Newer agents for ADT, abiraterone acetate (ABI) and enzalutamide (ENZA) were approved by the FDA in 2011 and 2012, respectively, for the management of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after failing chemotherapy. We evaluated the contemporary economic burden of ABI and ENZA and their adoption by specialty. Methods: Because a majority of men with mCRPC are > 65 years of age, we utilized Medicare Part D data from 2013-15. The specific outcome variables of interest included the aggregate reimbursement and total number of prescriptions for ABI and ENZA, by specialty. Descriptive statistics and trend analysis were performed. Results: From 2013-15, the total number of prescription rose from 52457 to 81058 for ABI and from 17141 to 69181 for ENZA. Though medical oncologists prescribed more than 75% of ABI/ENZA prescriptions each year, the proportion of prescriptions written by urologists increased annually. The greatest increase in the percentage of prescriptions originating from urology occurred from 2013-2014 for ABI (3.96% to 8.62%) and from 2014-15 for ENZA (5.42% to 15.64%); meanwhile, prescriptions by radiation oncology were negligible throughout the study. Southern states accounted for greater than one third of ABI and ENZA prescriptions. By 2015, the aggregate reimbursement of Part D claims for ENZA and ABI was $790 million each. Among all medication claims, ENZA and ABI represent the 29th and 30th most expensive by aggregate cost. Conclusions: While medical oncologists account for the vast majority of ENZA and ABI prescriptions, the prescriptions by urologists is increasing while prescriptions by radiation oncologists remain negligible. Though approved for mCRPC patients, ENZA and ABI are already among the costliest medications covered by Medicare. As Level 1 indications for the use of these medications increase and now include castrate-sensitive patients, further study should be directed at determining optimal timing and indication for prescription.

The Impact

223 Background: Radium 223 (Ra-223) is a FDA and EMA approved alpha particle radiopharmaceutical used to treat men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with symptomatic bone metastasis. In view of emerging systemic options, new EMA 2018 licence indication is for 3rd line onwards. We aim to evaluate the impact of systemic therapy sequencing on survival outcomes from a heterogeneous cohort of 228 patients treated with Ra-223 in a single UK centre. Methods: We prospectively collected data from 228 men underwent Ra-223 therapy for mCRPC between April 2014 and August 2018. Survival outcomes in relation to sequence of systemic treatment used prior to Ra-223 were analysed. Results: Medium age = 72 (51-87) years. Most patients (n = 142, 69%) received at least one systemic agent prior to Ra-223: docetaxel and/or cabaxitaxel chemotherapy (n = 60, 29%), abiraterone (n = 62, 30.1%) and enzalutamide (n = 67, 32.5%) in various sequences. No patients received concurrent Ra-223 /systemic treatment other than LHRH analogue. Key findings are summarized in table below. Conclusions: Our data demonstrated better survival trend in patients who received Ra-223 early. Patients who received prior chemotherapy have worse survival compared with those who were chemo-naïve likely due to bone marrow depletion. Ra-223 should not be offered to patients who have already had both cabaxitaxel and docetaxel as their medium survival is too poor to justify a treatment which takes 6 months to complete.[Table: see text]

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.

81 Background: Intermittent hormone manipulation in castrate-sensitive prostate cancer can improve quality of life whilst maintaining comparable disease outcomes with continuous scheduling. Enzalutamide is effective in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treatment but can have significant side-effects. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated with intermittent enzalutamide compared with continuous dosing. Methods: Patients prescribed enzalutamide for mCRPC at Royal Cornwall Hospital from September 2011 to February 2018 were included. Data was collected from electronic medical records, selecting patients with at least a 1 month treatment break. Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival from enzalutamide start (OS), time to PSA failure (TTF) and total enzalutamide treatment time (TTT) was calculated for intermittent and continuous responders (>50% PSA drop), assigned significance level of 0.05. Results: 243 patients received enzalutamide, 110 (45%) were continuous responders and 29 (12%) had intermittent dosing. All patients treated intermittently had a PSA response prior to first treatment break, which was most commonly for fatigue (60%). 25% were still receiving enzalutamide. Median number of breaks was 1 (range 1-7), time on treatment was 70% and time to first break was 5 months. The intermittent group had significantly improved OS with median not reached, median OS for continuous responders was 19 months (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.53-3.76, p=0.002). The intermittent group had prolonged TTF (median 13 vs 6 months, p=0.001) and TTT (median 30 vs 10 months, p=0.0003). Conclusions: Intermittent dosing of enzalutamide in these mCRPC patients does not adversely impact OS, increasing time patients remain on treatment. However, this was a small, retrospective, single-centre study; prospective trials are necessary to clarify the role of intermittent enzalutamide.[Table: see text]
