245 Background: Abiraterone (Abi), a potent inhibitor of 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17A1), is a standard treatment for men with metastatic CRPC. Abi is converted to D4A by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD). D4A inhibits CYP17A1, 3βHSD, and steroid-5α-reductase (SRD5A) and has direct androgen receptor antagonist activity, which together make it a more potent agent than Abi in xenograft models. It is not known if conversion to D4A in patients (pts) correlates with response or resistance to Abi. Methods: Blood was collected (single time point on Abi) from CRPC pts who started Abi during 2011-2015. Abi and D4A were extracted from serum and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The purpose of this ongoing study is to assess the potential correlation between D4A and response to treatment. Results: 32 patients with CRPC had blood collected. 4 pts (12.5%) received ketoconazole and 6 (18.8%) chemotherapy prior to Abi. Median pre-Abi prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 14.3 ng/ml (0.6-646.1). Median time from initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to CRPC was 34.3 months (m) (6-129.6) and median time from CRPC to Abi initiation was 4.8 m (0-14.9). PSA decline > 50% (PSA50) on Abi was seen in 68% (12/31) and 73% (19/26) of pts at 3 and 6 m, respectively. Treatment with Abi was ongoing in 23/32 pts (74%), and discontinued in 8 pts (26%) due to disease progression (no follow up data on 1 pt) with median duration of Abi treatment 14.6 m (2.9-44.4 m) at last follow up. As the absolute concentration of detected levels of Abi and D4A varied significantly among pts, the percentage of the total extracted metabolites was used to assess correlation with response. Abi and D4A comprised 94.3% (73.8-97.4%) and 5.7% (2.6-26.2%), respectively, of total levels. Conclusions: Abi absorption and metabolism significantly vary among pts. Most of these pts had prolonged duration of response to Abi (74% ongoing treatment and median treatment duration 13.3 m in 8 pts that came off treatment). Longer follow up, accrual of pts with shorter duration of response, and sampling at multiple time points on Abi and at progression is ongoing to further evaluate the impact of D4A on treatment response.

Abstract Background Previous studies suggested that patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have poorer outcomes; however, the significance of this association is limited. Aims To describe the phenotype of AIH-associated IBD and assess the impact of IBD on the response to treatment and risk of adverse liver outcomes in patients with AIH. Methods In our retrospective cohorts, we identified patients with concomitant diagnoses of IBD and a definite AIH. The comparison cohort consisted of AIH patients matched by gender, age at diagnosis, ethnicity, and time to follow-up. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used to assess differences. Univariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results We identified a total of 16 patients (9 males, 56.3%) with AIH-associated IBD from a cohort of 6006 IBD patients (0.27%) and 357 AIH patients (4.5%). All patients were Caucasians. Twelve patients (75.0%) had ulcerative colitis with a pancolonic extent; 4 (25.0%) – Crohn’s disease: one patient had ileitis, three – ileocolitis with one having stricturing and fistulising gastroduodenal, ileocolonic and perianal disease. The median age at IBD diagnosis was 26.5 years old and varied from 2 to 53. The age at AIH diagnosis ranged from 7 to 59 years old (median 21.1) and median follow-up time was 11.1 years ranging from 11 days to 35.2 years. The matching cohort of 113 AIH-IBD- patients was comparable to the AIH-IBD+ cohort by gender (44 males, 38.9%; p=0.188), age at diagnosis (median 28.4, IQR 32; p=0.442), ethnicity, and the follow-up time (median 8.7 years, IQR 10.2; p=0.764). There was no difference in AST, ALT and ALP at diagnosis. Complete response rates were similar in AIH-IBD+ and AIH-IBD- groups (50.0% vs. 53.1%; p=0.816). The risk of developing cirrhosis and a median time to its onset did not differ significantly: 28.6% vs. 31.0% (p=0.853) and 11.8 vs. 8.2 years (p=0.359), respectively. In univariate Cox regression, IBD was not a predictor of progression to cirrhosis (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.13–1.50; p=0.192). The risk of developing decompensation and a median time was also comparable between groups: 21.4% vs. 33.0% (p=0.384) and 18.4 vs. 9.8 years (p=0.053), supported by the Cox regression analysis (HR 0.44; 95% CI 0.13–1.48; p=0.187). The presence of IBD was not associated with higher need in liver transplant (18.8% vs. 30.1%; p=0.348), median time was slightly shorter (1.48 vs. 4.73 years; p=0.542), also evidenced by Cox regression (HR 1.40; 95% CI 0.42–4.65; p=0.578). The risk of liver-related death was also not different among the two groups (6.3% vs. 4.4%; p=0.746), and IBD was not a predictor of it (HR 1.94; 95% CI 0.17–21.69; p=0.589). Conclusions The presence of IBD in patients with AIH is rare and do not identify a subgroup of patients with worse response to treatment or poor clinical outcomes. Funding Agencies AbbVie

The Impact

The introduction of new therapies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is a very recent phenomenon and little is known of their mechanism of action. Moreover, the response is subject to interindividual variability and may be affected by genetic factors, such as polymorphisms in the genes implicated in the pathologic environment, pharmacodynamics, and metabolism of the disease or in the mechanism of action of the medications, influencing the effectiveness of these therapies. This review evaluates the impact of pharmacogenetics on the response to treatment with new therapies in patients diagnosed with MS. The results suggest that polymorphisms detected in the GSTP1, ITGA4, NQO1, AKT1, and GP6 genes, for treatment with natalizumab, ZMIZ1, for fingolimod and dimethyl fumarate, ADA, for cladribine, and NOX3, for dimethyl fumarate, may be used in the future as predictive markers of treatment response to new therapies in MS patients. However, there are few existing studies and their samples are small, making it difficult to generalize the role of these genes in treatment with new therapies. Studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are therefore needed to confirm the results of these studies.

IntroductionThe first five years after the onset of a first episode of psychosis (FEP) are crucial for long term outcome. In this period, the risk of relapse is particularly high. Consequences of relapse include an increased risk of neurotoxicity, chronicity, hospitalization, decreased response to treatment, increased economic burden and functional impairment.ObjectivesTo discern the influence of cannabis on relapse as it may contribute to adopt specific measures in patients during early stages of the illness.Material and methodsPAFIP is an early intervention program for patients with a FEP. Between January 2005 and January 2011, 163 patients were recruited for this study. They were followed-up during 3 years at intervals of three months. The sample was divided into three groups: (1) those non-cannabis users neither before the FEP nor during follow-up (nn), (2) consumers before the FEP and during follow-up (ss) and (3) consumers before the FEP that gave up consumption during follow-up (sn).ResultsNo statistically significant differences between the three groups were observed but a trend (P = 0.057) towards a more enduring survival in Group 3 (sn). (Kaplan–Meier curve and detailed Log Rank Test results will be included in the final poster).ConclusionsCannabis has a detrimental effect on schizophrenia. The interruption of its use could contribute to improve the outcome of the disease, as the results of our study suggest.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract The IV formulation of fludarabine phosphate is an effective treatment in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), yielding overall response rates of 60% to 80%. An oral formulation of fludarabine phosphate has been developed. In a previously published multicenter, open-label, phase II clinical trial, 81 previously untreated B-CLL patients received 10-mg tablets of fludarabine phosphate (Fludara® oral) 40 mg/m2/day for 5 days, repeated every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial was response rate, and secondary endpoints included safety and quality of life assessments. Of 81 patients (mean age, 61.2 years; range, 30–75 years) with previously untreated B-CLL, 81.5% were classified as Binet stage B or C. The overall response rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) using National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria was 80.2% (12.3% CR and 67.9% PR) and the median time to progression was 841 days (range, 28–1,146 days) (Rossi JF, et al. J Clin Oncol2004;22:1260–1267). The most frequently reported grade 3/4 adverse event was myelosuppression: WHO grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities included granulocytopenia (32.1%), anemia (9.9%), and thrombocytopenia (4.9%). This analysis reports on the long-term follow-up of this cohort during the period from November 2001 to November 2004. Of the 74 patients eligible for the survival analysis, 61 were also assessed for duration of response using NCI criteria: 9 CR (14.8%) and 52 PR (82.2%). During the 3-year follow-up period, 22 (29.7%) patients did not progress. For those who progressed, median time to progression was 29.7 months, and median duration of response was 22.9 months. In 41 (80.4%) of these patients, an increase in circulating lymphocytes was reported as evidence of disease progression. In 23 patients (45.1%), an increase in the sum of the products of at least 2 lymph nodes and/or appearance of new palpable nodes was reported as evidence of disease progression. During the indicated follow-up period, 37 patients (50%) received subsequent treatment. Twelve patients (16.2%) died during the follow-up period: 7 patients (58.3%) due to disease progression, 3 patients (25.0%) due to adverse events, and 2 patients (16.7%) due to other causes. Results from this study suggest that oral fludarabine phosphate is clinically effective and well tolerated by patients with previously untreated B-CLL. Moreover, these data demonstrate that oral fludarabine phosphate achieves response rates and duration of response comparable to those achieved with first-line fludarabine phosphate IV therapy.

Abstract Background: We previously reported substantial activity with single-agent bortezomib (VELCADE®; Vc) in patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory MCL in the PINNACLE study (JCO2006;24:4867–74), which resulted in approval of Vc for MCL pts following ≥1 prior therapy. All pts have now completed treatment. Here we report updated time-to-event data in all pts, and by response category, with extended follow-up. Methods: 155 pts (median age 65 yrs; 55%/41%/4% with 1/2/≥3 prior therapies; 77% Stage IV MCL; 55% positive bone marrow) received Vc 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of 21-day cycles; of these, 141 were response-evaluable. Response and progression were determined by modified International Workshop Response Criteria using independent radiology review. Results: After a median follow-up of 26.4 mo, 55 pts (35%) remained in follow-up; 93 (60%) had died, 2 (1%) had withdrawn consent, and 5 (3%) were lost to follow-up. Pts received a median of 4 treatment cycles (range 1–21; 8 in responding pts). Median time to first response was 1.3 months. Median duration of response (DOR) was 9.2 mo in all responders and has not been reached in pts achieving CR/CRu. Median time to progression (TTP), time to next therapy (TTNT; first Vc dose to start of next therapy), and overall survival (OS) are shown in the table for all pts and by response. Survival rate at 12-mo was 69% overall and 91% in responding pts. In pts refractory to their last therapy (no response or response with TTP <6 mo; n=58), median DOR was 5.9 mo, median TTP was 3.9 mo, median TTNT was 4.6 mo, and median survival was 17.3 mo. Safety profile was similar to previously reported; most common grade ≥3 AEs were peripheral neuropathy (13%), fatigue (12%), and thrombocytopenia (11%). The most common AE resulting in Vc discontinuation was peripheral neuropathy (10%). Twelve (8%) pts died on-study, including 5 (3%) considered related to Vc. Conclusions: Vc provides durable responses plus prolonged time off-therapy and survival in responding pts, suggesting substantial clinical benefit in relapsed/refractory MCL.

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.

200 Background: In the phase 3 PREVAIL trial, enzalutamide (ENZA), an androgen receptor inhibitor, improved overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) relative to placebo (PBO) in chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC. Methods: PREVAIL randomized 1,717 patients (pts) with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC 1:1 to ENZA 160 mg daily or PBO. Coprimary endpoints were OS and rPFS. This prespecified analysis evaluated the impact of age (≥ 75 vs < 75 years) on efficacy and safety. Results: In PREVAIL, 609 (35%) pts were aged ≥ 75 years. This older subset had several poorer baseline prognostics relative to those aged < 75 years: worse ECOG performance status (ECOG 1: 45.0% vs 24.7%), higher prostate-specific antigen (PSA; 73.3 vs 37.3 ng/mL) and more cardiovascular disease (26.9% vs 16.5%). In both older and younger pts, ENZA improved OS, rPFS and time to PSA progression (Table). Pts aged ≥ 75 years in both the ENZA and PBO groups combined had a higher rate of grade ≥ 3 adverse events (46% vs 37% in younger pts) and among enzalutamide-treated men more older pts reported falls (any grade; ENZA 19% and PBO 8%) than younger pts (ENZA 7% and PBO 4%). Fewer pts ≥ 75 years received subsequent antineoplastic therapies. Conclusions: In PREVAIL, efficacy outcomes in elderly (≥ 75 years) and younger (< 75 years) pts with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC were comparable and pts consistently benefited from ENZA treatment. Safety with ENZA was similar in both age groups, although older pts reported a higher incidence of falls and received fewer subsequent antineoplastic therapies.

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.

TPS266 Background: Metastatic CRPC remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although abiraterone (abi) in either the castration-sensitive or castration-resistant setting increases survival, resistance is universal and generally occurs within 9-16 months of initiating treatment. Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates mitotic functions and progression, and it is highly upregulated in prostate cancer following castration. PLK1 inhibition enhances the efficacy of abi in cell line models and patient-derived tumor xenografts via several mechanisms. Onvansertib (PCM-075; Trovagene, Inc.) is the first orally available PLK1-specific inhibitor. In phase 1 testing, onvansertib demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with transient and reversible hematologic effects. Methods: The goal of this phase 2 study (NCT03414034) is to observe the effects of onvansertib in combination with abi + prednisone on disease control, as assessed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline or stabilization after 12 weeks of study treatment, in subjects with mCRPC and early resistance to abi. Patients will be enrolled at time of PSA progression while on standard abi. A safety lead-in phase has been completed at one dosing schedule (24 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of a 21-day cycle) and is ongoing at a second dosing schedule (18 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of a 14-day cycle). Expansion phases are ongoing on both arms. In addition, a more continuous dosing schedule has been proposed (12 mg/m2 on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle). With 32 patients in each arm, there will be 90% power to detect a change in disease-control rate from 10% (null) to 30% (alternative). Based on a Simon’s two-stage optimal design, the study will terminate early if <2 of the first 13 patients achieve disease control. Exploratory analyses include evaluation of the presence of the androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) and other genomic alterations in circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA that may be associated with response to treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT03414034.
