272 Background: AA men are underrepresented in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for prostate cancer, despite an almost 2-fold greater incidence in AA vs Caucasian populations. Sip-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy approved by the FDA and EMA for the treatment of certain patients (pts) with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. AA enrollment in three sip-T phase 3 RCTs was 5.8% (n=43). While no definitive conclusions were drawn, median overall survival (OS) suggested AAs benefit from sip-T. PROCEED, an ongoing phase 4 registry, expanded efforts to increase AA enrollment to better characterize this population and the safety, product parameters (PP), and OS of AAs treated with sip-T. Methods: PROCEED enrolled 1973 pts treated with commercial sip-T within 6 months of registration. Efforts, such as selecting racially diverse sites and highlighting AA enrollment in PROCEED communications and investigator meetings, were used to boost AA enrollment. Baseline Gleason score, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were compared between RCTs and PROCEED. Safety and survival analyses are ongoing. Results: PROCEED AA enrollment was 11.7% vs 7.1% US RCT nonwhite enrollment rate and approaches the US AA population of 13.7%. Baseline AA pt characteristics were: lower median PSA and ALP levels in PROCEED vs RCTs, higher ECOG >0 in PROCEED vs RCTs, and higher Gleason score ≥8 in PROCEED vs RCTs (Table). Conclusions: Efforts to boost AA enrollment in PROCEED to a proportion comparable to the US AA population succeeded. The lower baseline PSA of AAs in PROCEED is similar to the PSA observed in the entire PROCEED population. Safety, PP, and OS will be reported with longer follow-up. Clinical trial information: NCT01306890. [Table: see text]

235 Background: AAP is approved for patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC, but the population with previous use of DES was not studied before. DES is a commonly used hormone therapy for mCRPC in second and plus lines, especially in developing countries, due to lack of access to novel and efficacious therapies. The objective of this trial is to describe the efficacy and safety of AAP after DES treatment in patients who are chemotherapy-naïve, potentially affecting chemotherapy onset. This is the first and only prospective trial to show this data. Methods: This phase 2 multicenter, open-label single-arm study evaluated 46 patients receiving AA (1000 mg daily) + low-dose prednisone (P; 10 mg daily) and androgen deprivation therapy in patients with DES–refractory mCRPC enrolled from Oct 2014 to Oct 2015. The primary efficacy endpoint was time to prostate-specific antigen progression (PSAP) by Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2) criteria. Secondary endpoints included PSA response (≥50% reduction), overall survival, and safety. Results: At baseline, median age was 69 years, median PSA was 40 ng/mL, there were no visceral metastases, 98% of patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0-1, and 44% had Gleason scores ≥7. Thirty two subjects (71.1%) had PSAP. PSA response was achieved by 47% of patients at week 12 and 56% at any time. Three patients remain on study drug and 4 are in follow-up. AA treatment continued until PSAP, clinical progression, consent withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of study treatment was 8.6 months. The median time to PSAP was 7.4 months (95% CI = 5.6-9.4) and the median overall survival was 25.6 months (95% CI = 15.7-NE). Treatment-related adverse events included hypertension (19.6%), hyperglycemia (19.6%), fatigue (17.4%), and hypokalemia (4.5%); most grade 1-2. Conclusions: The present study confirmed that AAP provides PSA responses even in heavily treated patients, showing clinical benefit post-DES in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients. It also confirmed tolerability of AAP, with an easily manageable toxicity profile. Clinical trial information: NCT02217566.

Purpose To determine the clinical activity of OGX-011, an antisense inhibitor of clusterin, in combination with docetaxel/prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive docetaxel/prednisone either with (arm A) or without (arm B) OGX-011 640 mg intravenously weekly. The primary end point was the proportion of patients with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline of ≥ 50% from baseline, with the experimental therapy being considered of interest if the proportion of patients with a PSA decline was more than 60%. Secondary end points were objective response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and changes in serum clusterin. Results Eighty-two patients were accrued, 41 to each arm. OGX-011 adverse effects included rigors and fevers. After cycle 1, median serum clusterin decreased by 26% in arm A and increased by 0.9% in arm B (P < .001). PSA declined by ≥ 50% in 58% of patients in arm A and 54% in arm B. Partial response occurred in 19% and 25% of patients in arms A and B, respectively. Median PFS and OS times were 7.3 months (95% CI, 5.3 to 8.8 months) and 23.8 months (95% CI, 16.2 months to not reached), respectively, in arm A and 6.1 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 8.6 months) and 16.9 months (95% CI, 12.8 to 25.8 months), respectively, in arm B. Baseline factors associated with improved OS on exploratory multivariate analysis were an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.27; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.51), presence of bone or lymph node metastases only (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.79), and treatment assignment to OGX-011 (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.87). Conclusion Treatment with OGX-011 and docetaxel was well tolerated with evidence of biologic effect and was associated with improved survival. Further evaluation is warranted.

Purpose In patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), overall survival (OS) is significantly improved with cabazitaxel versus mitoxantrone after prior docetaxel treatment. FIRSTANA ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01308567) assessed whether cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (C20) or 25 mg/m2 (C25) is superior to docetaxel 75 mg/m2 (D75) in terms of OS in patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC. Patients and Methods Patients with mCRPC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2 were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive C20, C25, or D75 intravenously every 3 weeks plus daily prednisone. The primary end point was OS. Secondary end points included safety; progression-free survival (PFS); tumor, prostate-specific antigen, and pain response; pharmacokinetics; and health-related quality of life. Results Between May 2011 and April 2013, 1,168 patients were randomly assigned. Baseline characteristics were similar across cohorts. Median OS was 24.5 months with C20, 25.2 months with C25, and 24.3 months with D75. Hazard ratio for C20 versus D75 was 1.01 (95% CI, 0.85 to 1.20; P = .997), and hazard ratio for C25 versus D75 was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.82 to 1.16; P = .757). Median PFS was 4.4 months with C20, 5.1 months with C25, and 5.3 months with D75, with no significant differences between treatment arms. Radiographic tumor responses were numerically higher for C25 (41.6%) versus D75 (30.9%; nominal P = .037, without multiplicity test adjustment). Rates of grade 3 or 4 treatment-emergent adverse events were 41.2%, 60.1%, and 46.0% for C20, C25, and D75, respectively. Febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, and hematuria were more frequent with C25; peripheral neuropathy, peripheral edema, alopecia, and nail disorders were more frequent with D75. Conclusion C20 and C25 did not demonstrate superiority for OS versus D75 in patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC. Tumor response was numerically higher with C25 versus D75; pain PFS was numerically improved with D75 versus C25. Cabazitaxel and docetaxel demonstrated different toxicity profiles, with overall less toxicity with C20.

Purpose A randomized, placebo-controlled study based on preclinical and clinical data that supports the potential role of vascular endothelial growth factor in prostate cancer was performed to evaluate the addition of bevacizumab to standard docetaxel and prednisone therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Patients and Methods Patients with chemotherapy-naive progressive mCRPC with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2 and adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) over 1 hour for 21 days plus prednisone 5 mg orally twice per day (DP) with either bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks (DP + B) or placebo. The primary end point was overall survival (OS), and secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS), 50% decline in prostate-specific antigen, objective response (OR), and toxicity. Results In total, 1,050 patients were randomly assigned. The median OS for patients given DP + B was 22.6 months compared with 21.5 months for patients treated with DP (hazard ratio, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.78 to 1.05; stratified log-rank P = .181). The median PFS time was superior in the DP + B arm (9.9 v 7.5 months, stratified log-rank P < .001) as was the proportion of patients with OR (49.4% v 35.5%; P = .0013). Grade 3 or greater treatment-related toxicity was more common with DP + B (75.4% v 56.2%; P ≤ .001), as was the number of treatment-related deaths (4.0% v 1.2%; P = .005). Conclusion Despite an improvement in PFS and OR, the addition of bevacizumab to docetaxel and prednisone did not improve OS in men with mCRPC and was associated with greater toxicity.

Abstract Aim: To compare the acute radiation-induced bowel and bladder toxicities of two hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) regimens in localised prostate cancer (PCa). Materials and methods: This trial consists of patients with histologically confirmed stage T1-T3aN0M0 PCa, a prostate-specific antigen concentration of 40 ng/mL or lower, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–2. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to 56 Gy in 16 fractions over 4 weeks (arm A) or 70·2 Gy in 26 fractions over 5 weeks (arm B). Acute bowel and bladder toxicities were assessed using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria. Results: Between June 2018 and December 2019, 40 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with 4-week (n = 20) and 5-week HFRT (n = 20). In the third month after completion of radiotherapy, the cumulative incidence of acute bowel and bladder toxicities of arms A and B was 20 versus 5% and 70 versus 85%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade 2 or worse bowel and bladder toxicities of the 5-week regimen was non-inferior to 4-week HFRT [bowel toxicity: 5% (arm A) versus 5% (arm B), bladder toxicity: 50% (arm A) versus 60% (arm B), p = 0·52). Findings: The 5-week regimen of HFRT is non-inferior to 4-week HFRT in terms of acute bowel and bladder toxicities.

5583 Background: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies in the world. however, the effects of systemic chemotherapy are limited. The combination of targeted therapy with immunotherapy is a new research field in the treatment of malignant tumors. Anlotinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor with highly selective inhibition effects on multi-targets, especially on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor and Fibroblast growth factor receptor. Sintilimab is a highly selective, fully humanized, monoclonal antibody, which blocks the interaction between Programmed death 1 and its ligands. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anotinib and sintilimab in patients with recurrent advanced endometrial cancer. Methods: Patients who received at least one platinum-based systemic chemotherapy, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 were considered eligible for enrollment. Sintilimab was administered intravenously (200mg,q3w); anlotinib was taken orally (12mg qd, d1-14, 21 days per cycle). The treatment was continued until disease progression, death or intolerant toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and the secondary endpoints included duration of response, disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival and safety. Results: From November 2019 to to September 2020, 23 patients with a median age of 56 years (range: 37-70), FIGO stage IA (21.7%), IB (8.7%), II (4.4%), IIIA (13.1%),IIIC (30.4%), IVB (21.7%) were enrolled. Among these participants, 22 patients were evaluable. The therapeutic evaluation showed the incidence of complete response, partial response, stable disease and progression disease was 13.6%, 63.7%, 13.6% and 9.1% respectively, yielding the ORR of 77.3% (95%CI: 58.3%-96.3%) and the DCR of 91.7% (95%CI: 79.8%-100%). ≥1 and <1 Combined Positive Score of PD-L1 expression were observed in 66.7% (14/21) and 33.3% (7/21) patients respectively, and the ORR was 92.9% (95%CI: 77.4%-100%) and 57.1% (95%CI: 18.4%-90.1%) in the two groups. The median time of the first response was 1.5 months (range, 0.7-12.8). The median PFS was not reached. Most of the occurring adverse events (AEs) were grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 AEs included ileus (4.3%), immune myocarditis (4.3%) immune peritonitis (4.3%), hand-foot syndrome (8.7%), neutropenia (4.3%), neutrophils decrease (4.3%), and hypertension (4.3%); Grade 4 AE was lymphocytosis (4.3%). Neither unexpected safety signals nor treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: Anlotinib plus sintilimab showed a promising antitumor activity with a favorable toxicity profile for patients with recurrent advanced endometrial cancer. We will report more data in the future. Clinical trial information: NCT04157491.

Introduction: Recently, a prognostic index including six risk factors (RFs) (unfavourable Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status [ECOG PS], presence of liver metastases, short response to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonists/ antagonists, low albumin, increased alkaline phosphatase [ALP] and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) was developed from the COUAA- 301 trial in post-chemotherapy metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with abiraterone acetate. Our primary objective was to evaluate this model in a cohort of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients receiving abiraterone.Methods: We identified 197 chemotherapy-naive patients who received abiraterone at six BC Cancer Agency centres and who had complete information on all six RFs. Study endpoints were prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate (RR), time to PSA progression, time on treatment, and overall survival (OS). PSA RR and survival outcomes were compared using Χ2 test and log-rank test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to identify RFs independently associated with OS.Results: Patients were classified into good (0‒1 RFs), intermediate (2‒3 RFs), and poor (4‒6 RFs) prognostic groups (33%, 52%, and 15%, respectively). For good-, intermediate-, and poor-risk patients, PSA RR (≥50% decline) was 60% vs. 42% vs. 40% (p=0.05); median time to PSA progression was 7.3 vs. 5.3 vs. 5.0 months (p=0.02); and median OS was 29.4 vs. 13.8 vs. 8.7 months (p<0.0001).Conclusions: The six-factor prognostic index model stratifies clinical outcomes in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone. Identifying patients at risk of poor outcome is important for informing clinical practice and clinical trial design.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence and management of local and systemic complications afflicting patients with de novo metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) in Singapore.DesignRetrospective analysis of a large prospective Uro-oncology registry of mPCa.SettingThis study is carried out in a tertiary hospital in Singapore.ParticipantsWe reviewed our institution’s prospectively maintained database of 685 patients with mPCa over a 20-year period (1995–2014). Patients with non-mPCa or those progressed to metastatic disease after previous curative local treatments were excluded.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome was to evaluate the systemic and local morbidity rates associated with mPCa. Local complication was defined as the need for palliative procedures to relieve urinary obstruction, worsening renal function or refractory haematuria, while systemic complication was related to radiographic evidence of skeletal-related pathological fractures. Secondary outcomes analysed were the management and overall survival patterns over 20 years.Results237 (34.6%) patients required local palliative treatments. 88 (12.8%) patients presented with acute urinary retention, 23 patients (9.7%) required repetitive local palliative treatments. On multivariate analyses, prostate-specific antigen >100 (p=0.02) and prostate volume >50 g (p=0.03) were independent prognostic factors for significant obstruction requiring palliative procedures. 118 (17.2%) patients developed skeletal fractures, with poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance (ECOG) status (p=0.01) and high volume bone metastasis (p<0.01) independently predictive of skeletal fractures. Altogether, 653 (95.3%) patients received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with the median time to castrate resistance of 21.4 months (IQR 7–27). The median overall survival was 45 months (IQR 20–63), with prostate cancer mortality of 81.4%. Improved overall survival was observed from 41.6 months (1995–1999) to 47.8 months (2010–2014) (p<0.01).ConclusionMorbidities and complications arising from mPCa are more common and debilitating than we thought, often requiring immediate palliative treatments, while many necessitate repeated interventions with progression.

TPS4698^ Background: MDV3100 is a novel androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitor (ARSI) in clinical development for treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Compared with Bic in nonclinical CRPC models, MDV3100 showed higher affinity AR binding, inhibited nuclear translocation and AR-DNA binding, showed no evidence of AR agonism, and caused tumor regression in Bic-resistant xenografts. MDV3100 has shown antitumor activity in men with advanced PCa. We present the study design of a trial comparing MDV3100 and Bic in men with progressive metastatic PCa. Methods: Multinational study (Table) with planned enrollment of 370 patients (randomized 1:1 to MDV3100 160 mg/d or Bic 50 mg/d). Inclusion criteria include metastatic (≥2 bone lesions or soft tissue disease at screening) progressive CRPC (≥3 rising prostate-specific antigen [PSA] levels or new bone/soft tissue disease), ongoing stable gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog therapy or surgical castration (serum testosterone <50 ng/dL), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0–1, and life expectancy ≥1 year. Exclusion criteria include previous chemotherapy, current/prior antiandrogens (except if administered for <12 wk and discontinued no less than 6 mo before study). Patients will be stratified by time of bilateral orchiectomy or GnRH analog initiation (before/after diagnosis of metastases) and will receive treatment until occurrence of radiographic progression/skeletal-related event, start of new antineoplastic therapy, or development of an adverse event requiring discontinuation. Results: The primary endpoint is progression-free survival; secondary endpoints are safety, PSA response, and time to PSA progression. Exploratory endpoints include circulating tumor cell conversion rate and quality of life. Patients are currently enrolling. Conclusions: This ongoing, head-to-head, phase II trial is the first to prospectively assess whether MDV3100 can provide improved antitumor effects vs Bic in men with metastatic CRPC.

TPS2071 Background: GBM is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and is extremely difficult to treat. Patients with GBM tend to progress rapidly within weeks or months. Median overall survival is only 12–15 months despite aggressive treatment, and less than 5% of patients survive 5 years. GBM also severely impacts quality of life and cognitive function. Approximately 50% of GBM tumors test positive for amplification or mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the most common of which is the EGFRvIII gain-of-function mutation. AMG 596 is a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct designed to crosslink and engage CD3-positive T cells to EGFRvIII-positive tumor cells, inducing tumor cell lysis and T cell proliferation. A clinical trial is being conducted for this novel immunotherapy agent in patients with EGFRvIII-positive GBM. Methods: NCT03296696 is a phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, sequential dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of AMG 596 in patients with EGFRvIII-positive GBM. AMG 596 is administered via continuous intravenous infusion. The study is expected to enroll approximately 82 patients total and comprises two groups (Group 1: patients with recurrent GBM; Group 2: patients with newly diagnosed GBM in the maintenance treatment phase after standard of care). Key inclusion criteria include: male or female; ≥ 18 years of age; with pathologically documented and diagnosed grade IV GBM; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1; life expectancy ≥ 3 months per study investigator; and acceptable renal, hematological, and hepatic function. The primary endpoint evaluates the safety and tolerability of AMG 596 via collection of treatment-emergent adverse events. Additional endpoints include objective response rate per modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria and PK/PD analyses of AMG 596 in serum. The study began enrolling patients in April 2018 and enrollment is ongoing. For more information, please contact Amgen Medical Information: [email protected]. Clinical trial information: NCT03296696.
