281 Background: The TROPIC trial demonstrated that cabazitaxel improves overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients progressing on or after docetaxel; a setting where both abiraterone and enzalutamide are also approved. We evaluated baseline factors that may help predict prostate specific antigen (PSA) response or PSA progression defined as per the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria and OS in mCRPC patients treated with cabazitaxel. Methods: Forty patients from five centres participated in an early access program and were retrospectively reviewed to capture baseline characteristics, disease history, prior and subsequent treatments, PSA response, and OS. The influence of selected variables on PSA response and OS were evaluated by univariate and multivariate stepwise regression analysis. Results: At cabazitaxel initiation, median age was 65, ECOG 0-1 (90%), median PSA was 216 ng/mL, 25% had visceral disease and 70% had pain. Median number of prior docetaxel cycles was 9 and median time from treatment was 9.6 months (5-14.2). Median number of cabazitaxel cycles was 7 (1-27). Fourteen patients received abiraterone before cabazitaxel. In patients with prior abiraterone treatment there was no impact on PSA response compared to patients with no prior abiraterone. In the multivariate regression analysis, presence of visceral disease, low albumin (≤40g/L), low hemoglobin (<100 g/L) and longer time between last docetaxel dose and start of cabazitaxel were correlated with PSA response to cabazitaxel (p<0.10). Age < 65, BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 and presence of pain were linked to an increased likelihood of PSA progression. None of the factors selected were significantly associated with OS. Conclusions: In routine clinical practice, this study suggests that mCRPC patients with visceral disease and a longer time elapsed between last docetaxel dose and start of cabazitaxel may experience a greater PSA response with cabazitaxel.

241 Background: Docetaxel is a standard of care for mCSPC. Enzalutamide and abiraterone have been proven to improve survival in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. Little is known about patients who have been treated with docetaxel for mCSPC and subsequent therapeutic responses. This retrospective analysis is to evaluate the response duration of abiraterone and enzalutamide in patients who previously received docetaxel for mCSPC but developed mCRPC within 12 months. Methods: Clinical Trial NCT02649855 enrolled patients with newly diagnosed mCSPC who were treated with standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel (75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles) sequenced with immunotherapy (PROSTVAC) from February 2016 to present. Patients who had progression (based on consecutive PSA rises or imaging) within 1 year of completing docetaxel and went on to subsequent abiraterone/enzalutamide were evaluated. (Note these are different PSA progression criteria than used in CHAARTED, Sweeney, NEJM, 2015). Results: Of the 46 patients evaluated regardless of immunotherapy sequence, 15 (33%) went on subsequent therapy after progression on docetaxel for mCSPC, with 12 patients starting abiraterone/enzalutamide (6 each with high and low volume disease). The median age was 62 (41-83) years. 7/12 patients (58.3%) initiated enzalutamide and 5/12 patients (41.7%) initiated abiraterone. The median duration of treatment for both was 7.12 (1.53–16.0) months, the median time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression was 5.54 (0–15.83) months; 5/12 (41.7%) of patients did not have PSA response. Of note, patients with low volume disease had a median treatment duration of 5.88 months, 3 of them did not have PSA response. Conclusions: These data from a small cohort suggest that patients who have progression within 12 months of completing docetaxel for mCSPC have limited subsequent benefit from enzalutamide or abiraterone. Additional studies are required to determine optimal timing and treatment sequence for patients with mCSPC who rapidly develop mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02649855.

99 Background: Studies have shown activity of Abiraterone acetate (AA) in patients (pts) with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have received prior ketoconazole. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response to AA in relation to previous PSA response to ketoconazole was investigated. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to determine the clinical activity of AA in men with CRPC who have received prior ketoconazole therapy at our institution. Time to PSA progression (PSA TTP) was defined by PCWG2 criteria, a PSA reduction of 50% or more was considered as PSA response. Results: Thirty four pts were identified. Nineteen pts (56%) had previous PSA responses on ketoconazole, with a median PSA TTP of 11 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.8-19.9). Subsequently, 11 of 34 (33%) of pts achieved a PSA response on AA, with a median PSA TTP of 6 months (95% CI 4.9-9.5). Among the 19 pts having a PSA response on ketoconazole, only four (21%) pts subsequently had PSA response to AA. Two of these pts had transient PSA response with PSA TTP less than 3 months on kKetoconazole, one patient discontinued Ketoconazole due to side effects, one patient had intermittent non-castrate testosterone levels. In contrast, 7 of 15 (46.7%) pts without prior PSA response to ketoconazole subsequently achieved PSA response on AA (p=0.11). Of note, PSA reduction of less than 50% on AA was observed in 9 of 34 pts (26%), which was associated with a longer median PSA TTP compared to pts who had PSA-progressive disease (5.9 months [95% CI 3.5-7.3] vs.1.5 months [95% CI 1.0-3.5], p=0.028). Five of these nine patients had a prior PSA response to ketoconazole but required drug discontinuation for reasons other than disease progression. Conclusions: PSA response to prior ketoconazole therapy is associated with lower PSA response rate to subsequent AA. The observation suggests that there is a biologically distinct subset of patients who are ketoconazole-resistant but abiraterone-sensitive, the underlying mechanism needs to be further investigated.

Abstract Background The ability to accurately monitor response to treatment in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) on chemotherapy has been a challenge. Conventional methods of therapy response assessment have limitations and molecular imaging has been explored as an important alternative. We set out t o determine if anti-1-amino-3-anti-1-amino-3-[18F]-fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid ([18F]fluciclovine) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) changes reflect response to docetaxel chemotherapy in mCRPC. Results Seven patients with mCRPC were enrolled. Each patient was scheduled to have [18F]fluciclovine PET/CT at baseline, and after 1 and 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Uptake parameters were recorded in the prostate/bed and up to 10 metastatic lesions. Decrease in uptake of ≥30% was considered response (R); appearance of new lesions or >30% increase in uptake was progressive disease (PD); and change of < 30% uptake was stable disease (SD). Prostate specific antigen (PSA) was obtained at baseline and before each cycle. Bone scintigraphy and CT were acquired at baseline and after the 6th cycle. Assessment of response was based on Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial Working Group 3 recommendations. Correlation between [18F]fluciclovine uptake and time to PSA progression was also determined. All patients completed the 1 st and 2 nd [18F]fluciclovine PET/CT, while 4/7 patients completed all 3 scans. PET response correlated with PSA response in 3/7 (42.9%) patients and 3/4 (75%) patients after 1 and 6 cycles of docetaxel, respectively. Bone scan and CT correlated with PSA response in 1/4 (25%) patients. Mean SUVmax and SUVmean were significantly higher in patients with progressive disease versus non-progressive disease after 6 cycles of docetaxel (p<0.05), but not at baseline or after 1 cycle of docetaxel. There was non-significant correlation of changes in [18F]fluciclovine uptake with changes in PSA after 1 and 6 cycles of docetaxel. There was no significant correlation between PET parameters and time to PSA progression. Conclusion [18F]fluciclovine PET/CT has better correlation than CT or bone scan with PSA response for patients with mCRPC treated with docetaxel. [18F]fluciclovine PET/CT did not predict time to PSA progression. Larger studies exploring the utility of [18F]fluciclovine PET for response assessment are recommended.

e581 Background: Docetaxel and Next-Generation Anti-Androgens (NGAA) including abiraterone and enzalutamide represent the standard of treatment for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Treatment sequencing of these agents is a challenge. Recent studies identified cross-resistances between hormonal therapies and taxanes, as well as between different NGAA. In aiming to elucidate whether synthetic oestrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) therapy impacts the efficacy of later-line treatments or not, we evaluated the antitumor activity of NGAA and docetaxel following DES therapy in CRPC patients. Methods: All patients with CRPC treated at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in first-line setting with DES from September 1995 to July 2016 were retrospectively identified. We evaluated further activities of abiraterone, enzalutamide and docetaxel in those patients after DES therapy, using Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria. Clinicopathologic characteristics, including age, performans status, metastatic sites at diagnosis and treatments initiation, and data survival were also assessed. Results: Twenty-three patients with CRPC were initially treated with DES with a median time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression of 9.7 months (range, 4.7-20.3). Thirteen patients(56.5%) received abiraterone or enzalutamide before docetaxel and 21 patients (91.3%) after. Median age at first NGAA initiation was 79 years) range, 55-91). Only one patient (7.7%) achieved a PSA decline before docetaxel and two out of 18 evaluable patients (11.1%) after docetaxel. Median time to PSA progression and overall survival with a NGAA treatment were respectively 2.8 (range, 2.0-4.1) and 16.5 months(range, 4.3-31.0). Fifty percent of patients showed a PSA response with docetaxel. No clinical factors were found to be significantly associated with PSA response to NGAA treatment, nor to docetaxel. Conclusions: The activity of NGAA appears markedly limited after a DES therapy, regardless of the PSA response to docetaxel. These data suggest the likelihood of a cross-resistance mechanism between DES and NGAA, without no impact on taxanes pathways.

Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS, DoceAqualip) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Materials and Methods. In this multicenter, retrospective study, we analyzed the medical charts of mCRPC patients, who were treated with NDLS administered as 2-weekly (50 mg/m2) or 3-weekly regimens (75 mg/m2). The study endpoints were prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (>50% PSA decline from baseline), PSA progression (PSA increase from baseline beyond 12 weeks: ≥25% and ≥2 ng/mL), median PSA decline, and time-to-treatment failure (TTF). Overall survival (OS) and safety were also evaluated. Results. Data of 24 patients with mCRPC were analyzed in this study. NDLS was administered as a 2-weekly regimen in 37.5% (9/24; all first-line) patients and as a 3-weekly regimen in 62.5% patients (15/24; first-line: 20% (3/15), second-line: 80% (12/15)). Overall, PSA response was reported in 66.7% (16/24) patients. The PSA response was 77.8% (7/9 patients) in the 2-weekly group and 60% (9/15 patients) in the 3-weekly group. The median decline in PSA was 96.31% in the 2-weekly group and 83.29% in the 3-weekly group; the median TTF was 6.7 and 6.5 months in the 2 weekly group and 3-weekly group, respectively. The median OS was 14.6 months (follow-up: 5.5–25.8 months) in the 2-weekly group whereas it was not reached in the 3-weekly group (follow-up: 7.9–15.6 months). The most common hematological AEs were anemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia whereas nausea, weakness, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea were the most common (≥10%) nonhematological AEs. Overall, NDLS treatment was well tolerated without any new safety concerns. Conclusions. Nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (2-weekly or 3-weekly) was effective and well tolerated in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common cancers in men. Although the overall prognosis is favorable, the management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients is challenging. Usually, mCRPC patients with progressive disease are considered for radioligand therapy (RLT) after exhaustion of other standard treatments. The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) labeled with Lutetium-177 ([177Lu]Lu-PSMA) has been widely used, showing favorable and successful results in reducing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, increasing quality of life, and decreasing pain, in a multitude of studies. Nevertheless, approximately thirty percent of patients do not respond to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA RLT. Here, we only reviewed and reported the evaluated factors and their impact on survival or biochemical response to treatment to have an overview of the potentialprognostic parameters in [177Lu]Lu-PSMA RLT. Methods Studies were retrieved by searching MEDLINE/PubMed and GoogleScholar. The search keywords were as follows: {(“177Lu-PSMA”) AND (“radioligand”) AND (“prognosis”) OR (“predict”)}. Studies discussing one or more factors which may be prognostic or predictive of response to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA RLT, that is PSA response and survival parameters, were included. Results Several demographic, histological, biochemical, and imaging factors have been assessed as predictive parameters for the response to thistreatment; however, the evaluated factors were diverse, and the results mostly were divergent, except for the PSA level reduction after treatment, which unanimously predicted prolonged survival. Conclusion Several studies have investigated a multitude of factors to detect those predicting response to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA RLT. The results wereinconsistent regarding some factors, and some were evaluated in only a few studies. Future prospective randomized trials are required to detect theindependent prognostic factors, and to further determine the clinical and survival benefits of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA RLT.

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.

4554 Background: Chemotherapy with docetaxel is the standard first-line treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In patients progressing after docetaxel, both abiraterone and MDV3100 have yielded improved survival for patients with mCRPC. The efficacy of abiraterone in patients pre-treated with MDV 3100 is unknown. Methods: We investigated abiraterone-prednisone in 24 patients with cancer progression after docetaxel followed by MDV3100. All patients received abiraterone 1000 mg/day plus prednisone 10mg/day. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, symptom response, and time to progression were assessed. Results: Patient characteristics were as follows: median age: 74 years (53-84), median PSA: 108 ng/mL (2-2541), metastatic sites: bone: all 24 patients, liver/lung: 6 patients (25%), and lymph nodes : 9 patients (38%). Five patients (21%) had a PSA decrease on abiraterone-prednisone. Three patients (13%) achieved a PSA response, defined as a decrease of >50% in PSA, confirmed after≥ 4 weeks. The duration of PSA response was 2, 3 and 4.5 months. Six patients (29%) had a symptomatic response on the pain score and analgesic consumption was decreased. Treatment was well tolerated. Abiraterone-prednisone was discontinued in one patient due to edema and hypokaliemia. Conclusions: This study shows preliminary evidence that abiraterone-prednisone yields activity in patients with mCRPC pretreated with docetaxel and MDV3100.

108 Background: We assessed the cytotoxic effects of the gemcitabine in combination with oxaliplatin (GemOx) in prostate cancer cell lines and evaluated the efficacy and safety of GemOx in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who failed docetaxel based chemotherapy. Methods: Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were preclinically tested for their cytotoxic activity in LNCaP, PC3 and DU145 cell lines. The combined drug effects were evaluated using the Chou and Taladay analysis. Clinically, patients with CRPC who failed prior docetaxel chemotherapy were treated with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 at fixed-dose rate (10 mg/m2/min) and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously every 2 weeks and prednisolone 5 mg orally twice daily. Unless disease progression or intolerability develops, treatment could be continued until 12 cycles. Primary endpoint was PSA response rate (PCWG 1.0 criteria). Results: The IC50of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were, respectively, 1.25 μM and 0.69 μM for LNCaP cells; 50.00+ μM and 12.81 μM for PC3 cells; and 11.23 μM and 11.04 μM for DU145 cells. The GemOx combination displayed synergistic effects in all 3 cell lines. In phase II study, 31 patients were accrued. At the time of this analysis 7 patients were still continuing treatment. The median age was 67 years (range 57 ~ 81) and the median dose of docetaxel exposure was 525 mg/m2. A total of 231 cycles administered with a median of 9 cycles per patient. PSA responses were observed in 52% (95% CI, 34~69) and partial responses were observed in 7 of 10 patients with measurable disease. Out of 23 patients, 10 patients achieved pain response (44%). With a median FU duration of 8.0 months, the median time to PSA progression was 6.4 months (95% CI, 3.5~9.2). Peripheral neuropathy developed in 78% of patients but remained of grade 1 ~2 intensities. Frequently observed grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (10%), thrombocytopenia (10%), anemia (3%), and diarrhea (3%). Conclusions: GemOx is active and well tolerated in patients with CPRC after docetaxel failure and deserves further investigation in this setting (NCT 01487720). Clinical trial information: NCT01487720.

18 Background: Enzalutamide (Enza) and abiraterone (Abi) are next generation hormonal agents for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Whether these agents can be effectively sequenced is not yet well understood. Results of retrospective analyses of Abi after prior Enza have demonstrated modest responses of brief duration, suggesting common resistance pathways. Here, we retrospectively analyze response to Enza with or without prior Abi treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 195 patients from seven academic centers treated with Enza between January 2009 and August 2013. Data were collected on disease characteristics, prior therapies, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values at baseline and while on treatment. Logistic regression was used to evaluate association between 30% or greater PSA decline on Enza and either prior Abi treatment or 30% or greater PSA decline on prior Abi after accounting for potential confounders. Results: One hudred eighty three patients had non-missing PSA starting and nadir values on Enza, with starting PSA median 102.0 (range 1.1–5007.0) ng/mL. Overall, 42% (76 of 183) of Enza-treated patients achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline, with 39% (58 of 150) response among prior Abi-treated patients and 55% (18 of 33) response among Abi-naïve patients. Of 79 patients who lacked significant response to prior Abi, 30% (25 of 79) achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline and 19% (15 of 79) achieved a 50% or greater PSA decline with subsequent Enza. Odds of achieving a 30% or greater PSA response on Enza was 2.3 times higher for Abi-naïve patients versus prior Abi-treated patients (95% CI 1.0–5.5, P=0.06) and 1.9 times higher for Abi-responders vs Abi-non-responders (95% CI 1.0–3.7, P=0.06) after adjusting for prior docetaxel and concurrent steroid use. Conclusions: In this multi-center retrospective study, 39% of patients achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline with Enza after prior Abi treatment. While the activity of Enza appears to be blunted in the post-Abi setting, PSA declines still occur in a meaningful proportion of patients. Notably, 30% of patients without significant response to prior Abi responded to subsequent treatment with Enza, suggesting a subset of men with distinct biological resistance pathways. Data will be updated at the time of presentation.
