5004 Background: We hypothesized resistance to the androgen receptor inhibitor ENZA is due to increases in androgens and can be overcome by combination with the androgen synthesis inhibitor abiraterone (abi). The phase 4 PLATO trial (NCT01995513) is evaluating the safety and efficacy of continued ENZA + abi/prednisone (abi/P) vs PBO + abi/P after PSA progression on ENZA. Methods: In Period (P) 1, men with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC received ENZA (160 mg); men with no PSA increase from baseline at wk 13 and 21 continued treatment until PSA progression (≥ 25% increase and ≥ 2 ng/mL above nadir). Eligible men were then randomized 1:1 in P2 to ENZA + abi/P (1000 mg/10 mg) or PBO + abi/P. The primary endpoint (EP) was progression-free survival (PFS; radiographic or unequivocal clinical progression, or death on study) in P2, with a prespecified sensitivity analysis of radiographic PFS (rPFS); protected secondary EPs were time to PSA progression (TTPP) and PSA response ≥ 50% in P2. Results: 509 men enrolled in P1. At data cutoff (Oct 7, 2016), 84 were active, 174 discontinued, and 251 were randomized in P2 (ENZA + abi/P, n = 126; PBO + abi/P, n = 125). Median treatment duration in P2 was 5.6 mo for both arms. PFS event by radiographic/clinical/death was 38%/25%/2% for ENZA + abi/P and 55%/18%/1% for PBO + abi/P. Median PFS was 5.7 mo for ENZA + abi/P and 5.6 mo for PBO + abi/P (hazard ratio [HR], 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61, 1.12; P = 0.22). Median TTPP was 2.8 mo for both arms (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.62, 1.24; P = 0.45). PSA response rate was 0.8% for ENZA + abi/P and 2.5% for PBO + abi/P ( P = 0.31). Median rPFS was 10.0 mo for ENZA + abi/P and 7.0 mo for PBO + abi/P (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47, 0.94; P = 0.02). The most common (≥ 15%) adverse events for ENZA + abi/P vs PBO + abi/P were back pain (21% vs 23%), hypertension (20% vs 7%), nausea (17% vs 9%), and fatigue (14% vs 15%). Conclusions: ENZA + abi/P post PSA progression on ENZA was associated with increased hypertension and nausea and did not result in a statistically significant improvement in composite PFS. The signal seen in rPFS needs further evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT01995513.

3 Background: Men with M0 CRPC and rapidly rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are at high risk of developing metastatic (M1) CRPC. ENZA improves overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival in men with M1 CRPC. We hypothesized that ENZA will improve metastasis-free survival (MFS) in men with M0 CRPC. Methods: Eligible men with M0 CRPC, PSA doubling time ≤ 10 mo and PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL at screening continued androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and were randomized 2:1 to ENZA 160 mg or PBO. The primary endpoint was MFS. Secondary endpoints included time to PSA progression, time to first use of new antineoplastic therapy, OS and safety. Results: In 1401 men, ENZA significantly prolonged median MFS (36.6 mo vs 14.7 mo [ P < .0001]), time to first use of new antineoplastic therapy (39.6 mo vs 17.7 mo [ P < .0001]) and time to PSA progression (37.2 mo vs 3.9 mo [ P < .0001]) compared to PBO (Table). In the first interim analysis of OS there was a trend in favor of ENZA (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.80; P = .1519). Median duration of treatment was 18.4 mo vs 11.1 mo for ENZA vs PBO. Adverse events (AEs) were higher with ENZA vs PBO (any grade: 87% vs 77%; grade ≥ 3: 31% vs 23%; serious: 24% vs 18%); 10% with ENZA discontinued treatment due to AE vs 8% with PBO. Conclusions: In men with M0 CRPC and rapidly rising PSA, ENZA treatment resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant 71% reduction in the risk of developing M1 CRPC. AEs were consistent with the established safety profile of ENZA. Clinical trial information: NCT02003924. [Table: see text]

PurposeAs part of the ENTHUSE (Endothelin A Use) program, the efficacy and safety of zibotentan (ZD4054), an oral specific endothelin A receptor antagonist, has been investigated in combination with docetaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).Patients and MethodsIn this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study, patients received intravenous docetaxel 75 mg/m2on day 1 of 21-day cycles plus oral zibotentan 10 mg or placebo once daily. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included time to pain and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, pain and PSA response, progression-free survival, health-related quality of life, and safety.ResultsA total of 1,052 patients received study treatment (docetaxel-zibotentan, n = 524; docetaxel-placebo, n = 528). At the time of data cutoff, there had been 277 and 280 deaths, respectively. There was no difference in OS for patients receiving docetaxel-zibotentan compared with those receiving docetaxel-placebo (hazard ratio, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.18; P = .963). No significant differences were observed on secondary end points, including time to pain progression (median 9.3 v 10.0 months, respectively) or pain response (odds ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.16; P = .283). The median time to death was 20.0 and 19.2 months for the zibotentan and placebo groups, respectively. The most commonly reported adverse events in zibotentan-treated patients were peripheral edema (52.7%), diarrhea (35.4%), alopecia (33.9%), and nausea (33.3%).ConclusionDocetaxel plus zibotentan 10 mg/d did not result in a significant improvement in OS compared with docetaxel plus placebo in patients with metastatic CRPC.

Background: Abiraterone acetate is an androgen synthesis inhibitor approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Although co-administration of either prednisone or prednisolone at 10 mg/d has been recommended to reduce the risk of abiraterone-induced hyperaldosteronism (notably hypokalemia) and to give adjunctive pain relief effects, whether these glucocorticoids can be substituted by dexamethasone remains unknown. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of medical records of patients who were given abiraterone for the treatment of CRPC with either prednisolone (ABI/PSL) 10 mg/d or dexamethasone (ABI/DEX) 0.5 or 1 mg/d between 2014 and 2017 in Juntendo University Nerima Hospital. Demographic and biochemical data including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level were retrieved from the electronic medical records. Results: Fifty-three eligible patients (27 in ABI/PSL group and 26 in ABI/DEX group) were extracted from the records. Both groups showed no significant changes in serum potassium level before and after starting treatment. In the ABI/PSL group, 12 patients (46%) showed elevations of PSA and 7 patients (27%) discontinued treatment within 3 months. In contrast, in the ABI/DEX group, only 6 patients (25%) showed elevations of PSA and 3 patients (13%, all were given dexamethasone 1 mg/d) discontinued treatment. Conclusions: Dexamethasone and prednisolone may be equally effective in preventing abiraterone-induced hypokalemia.

5004 Background: ERG rearrangements result in androgen receptor-modulated up-regulation of ERG and may predict for AA response in mCRPC. Concordance has been shown between ERG status in archival samples and fresh CRPC biopsies (Attard et al., Cancer Res. 2009;69:2912). In this prospectively defined biomarker sub-study, the association between ERG subtypes and clinical outcome in chemo-naïve mCRPC pts receiving AA was evaluated. Methods: COU-AA-302 is a randomized double blind study of AA (1 g) + prednisone (P) (5 mg BID) vs placebo + P in chemo-naïve mCRPC. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays to evaluate ERG subtypes (Attard et al., Oncogene. 2008;27:253) were conducted on 524 archival prostate tissue samples (365 biopsies, 107 RPEs, 44 TURPs, 3 bone marrows, 5 lymph nodes) from 497 pts. Clinical outcome measures included radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) (central [CEN] and investigator [INV] reviewed), time to PSA progression (TTPP), and PSA ≥ 50% decline. Cox regression was used to evaluate association with time to event endpoints and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel for PSA response. Results: 337 of 497 pts with tumor samples had evaluable FISH results. An ERG rearrangement was present in 117 of 337 (35%) pts. 112 pts were class Edel, 50 were 2+Edel (interstitial deletion with duplication of fusion sequences) and 18 were ESplit. A trend for an association with greater improved rPFS (CEN) and TTPP in 2+ Edel pts treated with AA + P vs ERG non-rearranged was observed (22 months [m] vs 16 m [HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.30-1.16], p = 0.12, and 14 m vs 8 m [HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.41-1.15], p = 0.15, respectively). No differences in 2+ Edel vs ERG non-rearranged were observed in the P-alone arm. No association between any ERG sub-class and either rPFS [INV] or PSA ≥ 50% decline in either treatment arm was observed. Conclusions: This represents the largest study to date to molecularly characterize CRPC pts participating in a therapeutic phase 3 trial. These data suggest that chemo-naïve mCRPC pts with a 2+ Edel rearrangement may derive a slightly greater benefit from AA and P than other pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00887198.

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.

308 Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic implications of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at baseline and after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment with abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 102 mCRPC treated with abiraterone either pre- or post-chemotherapy between November 2012 and October 2017 in three institutions. We calculated NLR and PLR at baseline and at 4 and 12 weeks after initiation of abiraterone, and we evaluated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response every 4 weeks. Fifty patients (49%) were treated with abiraterone post-docetaxel, and 52 patients (51%) received abiraterone pre-chemotherapy. Based on receiver operating characteristic analysis, patients were stratified as low NLR ( < 3.1) or high NLR (≥ 3.1), and low PLR ( < 163) or high PLR (≥ 163). The cutoff for anemia was < 12g/dL. Results: Median follow-up times for patients overall and for those who survived were 24.0 months (range, 0.3 – 54.9 months) and 25.5 months (range, 2.8 – 54.9 months), respectively. The median time of abiraterone treatment was 8.1 months (range, 2.4 – 40.1 months). The median overall survival (OS) was 20.8 months (interquartile range: 17.3–24.4). In univariate analysis, NLR, PLR, PSA response, and low hemoglobin (Hgb) were found significantly predictive of OS and progression-free survival (PFS). In multivariate analysis, declines in NLR and PSA of ≥ 90% emerged as significant independent predictors of OS and PFS. High-NLR patients who remained high or who returned to low NLR after 4 and 12 weeks showed significantly worse OS than patients with low baseline NLR. Patients with baseline Hgb > 12 g/dL had significantly longer median OS compared with patients with Hgb ≤ 12 g/dL; however, the significance of Hgb was lost at 12 weeks. Conclusions: NLR and PSA response to abiraterone was a significant predictor of OS and PFS in mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone delivered either pre- or post-chemotherapy. Furthermore, persistent increase in NLR during abiraterone has prognostic value for OS in patients with mCRPC.

5500 Background: LuPSMA is a radiolabeled small molecule that delivers therapeutic β-radiation to PSMA-expressing tumors. Encouraging efficacy and safety has been shown in non-randomized studies of mCRPC. TheraP is a randomized phase II trial comparing LuPSMA vs cabazitaxel in men with mCRPC progressing after docetaxel. Methods: Men with mCRPC, and imaging with 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18F-FDG PET/CT that confirmed high PSMA-expression and no sites of FDG-positive/PSMA-negative disease, were randomly assigned (1:1) to LuPSMA (6-8GBq q6weeks up to 6 cycles) vs cabazitaxel (20mg/m2 q3weeks up to 10 cycles); stratified by disease burden (>20 vs ≤20 sites), prior novel antiandrogens (NAA; abiraterone or enzalutamide), and study site. The primary endpoint was PSA response rate (PSA50-RR) defined by ≥50% reduction. Secondary efficacy endpoints included PSA-progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and overall survival (OS). Data cut-off was 31DEC19 at this first pre-specified analysis. Results: 200 (median age 72 y, prior NAA 91%, >20 lesions 78%) of 291 PET screened men were randomised to LuPSMA (N=99) or cabazitaxel (N=101). 17 patients withdrew or died before receiving study treatment (1 LuPSMA vs 16 cabazitaxel). The PSA50-RR was higher in those assigned LuPSMA than cabazitaxel (65/99 [66%; 95%CI 56-75] vs 37/101 [37%; 95%CI 27-46]; P<0.001). At a median follow-up of 11.3 months, LuPSMA significantly improved PSA-PFS (HR 0.63, 95%CI 0.45-0.88, P=0.007; 143 events with next pre-specified analysis planned after 170 events). Efficacy results were similar when analyses were restricted to per-protocol treated men. OS data remains immature (57 deaths). Grade III-IV adverse events (AEs) occurred in 31/98 (32%) LuPSMA-treated men vs 42/85 (49%) in cabazitaxel-treated men. Discontinuations for toxicity occurred in 1/98 (1%) LuPSMA vs 3/85 (4%) cabazitaxel-treated. There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: In men with docetaxel-treated mCRPC, LuPSMA was more active (PSA50-RR) than cabazitaxel with relatively fewer G3-4 AEs and PSA-PFS favoring LuPSMA. Clinical trial information: NCT03392428 .

Purpose Enzalutamide, a potent oral androgen receptor inhibitor, improves survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) before and after chemotherapy. Bicalutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen, is widely used to treat men with nonmetastatic or metastatic CRPC. The efficacy and safety of these drugs were compared in this randomized, double-blind, phase II study of men with CRPC. Patients and Methods A total of 396 men with nonmetastatic (n = 139) or metastatic (n = 257) CRPC were randomly assigned to enzalutamide 160 mg per day (n = 198) or bicalutamide 50 mg per day (n = 198). Androgen deprivation therapy was continued in both arms. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Enzalutamide reduced the risk of progression or death by 76% compared with bicalutamide (hazard ratio [HR], 0.24; 95% CI, 0.18 to 0.32; P < .001). Median PFS was 19.4 months with enzalutamide versus 5.7 months with bicalutamide. Enzalutamide resulted in significant improvements in all key secondary end points: time to prostate-specific antigen progression (HR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.26; P < .001); proportion of patients with a ≥ 50% prostate-specific antigen response (81% v 31%; P < .001); and radiographic PFS in metastatic patients (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.50; P < .001). Beneficial effects with enzalutamide were observed in both nonmetastatic and metastatic subgroups. The observed adverse event profile was consistent with that from phase III enzalutamide trials. Conclusion Enzalutamide significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer progression or death compared with bicalutamide in patients with nonmetastatic or metastatic CRPC.

5558 Background: PROSELICA phase III trial (NCT01308580) showed that cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 (C20) is non-inferior to C25 in mCRPC patients (pts) post-docetaxel (DOC) (Eisenberger JCO 2017). Pts enrolled were symptomatic or not. This post-hoc analysis evaluates the influence of progression type at randomization on outcomes. Methods: Progression type at randomization was defined as follows: PSA progression only (PSA-p; no radiological progression (Radio-p), no pain), Radio-p (± PSA-p, no pain) or pain progression (pain-p, ±PSA-p, ±Radio-p). The relationship between progression type and overall survival (OS), radiological progression-free survival (rPFS) and PSA response (confirmed PSA decrease ≥ 50%) was analyzed. Results: All patients randomized (n = 1200) had received prior DOC and 25.7% had received prior abiraterone or enzalutamide. Progression type was evaluable in 1065 pts (PSA-p = 24.5%, radio-p = 20.9%, pain-p = 54.6%). Pain progression was associated with clinical and biological features of aggressive disease and worse outcomes (decreased PSA response, rPFS and OS) vs PSA-p or radio-p (Table). The survival (rPFS and OS) on C25 was numerically higher than on C20 in pts with radio-p and pain-p. Conversely, C20 and C25 equally benefited pts with PSA-p only. In multivariate analysis (all arms combined), pain progression was an independent predictor of poor OS. Conclusions: This post-hoc analysis of PROSELICA shows that pain progression at initiation of cabazitaxel in mCRPC pts previously treated with DOC is prognostic. The activity of C25 was numerically higher than C20 in patients with radiological or pain progression. Clinical trial information: NCT01308580 . [Table: see text]
