e16540 Background: Prostate cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis. Androgen deprivation therapy is effective but has unacceptable short and long term side effects. SM88 (modulators of mTOR, mitochondrial stress, CYP3a4 and tyrosine isomers) is a novel combination of anti-cancer therapies with previously reported favorable results yet low toxicity in a heterogeneous group of 30 patients with cancer. We now report on a PC cohort treated with SM88. Methods: Retrospective chart review. Results: Between 2012 and 2014, 6 men with PC were treated with SM88, administered 5 days/week over a 6-week treatment cycle. SM88 consisted of daily oral and subcutaneous injection of the components. The average age was 54 years (range 32-66). Five (83.3%) were Caucasian, 1 (16.7%) was Hispanic. patients with prostate cancer were treated with SM88 daily, Monday-Friday, for between 6 to 31 wks (median 11). Four patients had castrate resistant disease, two declined ADT. One had failed prior chemotherapy (see Table). All subjects were not receiving other therapy. One subject died of disease complications approximately 3 months after starting treatment but only received approximately 20 days of therapy over a 6 week cycle. Three patients had PSA nadir responses of >90% reduction over pretreatment peak levels (see table). Two others had radiographic SD for between 10-14 wks. There were no significant toxicity except cutaneous hyperpigmentation. The duration of responses ranged from 10-114 weeks. Best overall responses included 2 patients with complete biochemical response. Four subjects improved their ECOG score during treatment and 2 had no change. Conclusions: SM-88 appears to be well tolerated and to have anti-tumor activity in prostate cancer without androgen deprivation toxicity. Additional confirmatory prospective studies in prostate are ongoing and planned in other cancers. [Table: see text]

The estimated incidence rate of prostate cancer in Africa was 22.0/100,000 in 2016. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has cited prostate cancer as a growing health threat in Africa with approximated 28,006 deaths in 2010 and estimated 57,048 deaths in 2030. The exact incidence of advanced and metastatic prostate cancer is not known in sub-Saharan Africa. Hospital-based reports from the region have shown a rising trend with most patients presenting with advanced or metastatic disease. The management of advanced and metastatic prostate cancer is challenging. The available international guidelines may not be cost-effective for an African population. The most efficient approach in the region has been surgical castration by bilateral orchidectomy or pulpectomy. Medical androgen deprivation therapy is expensive and may not be available. Patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer tend to be palliated due to the absence or cost of chemotherapy or second-line androgen deprivation therapy in most of Africa. A cost-effective guideline for developing nations to address the rising burden of advanced prostate cancer is warranted at this moment.

For many years, few therapeutic options were available for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of prostate cancer, particularly in the transition to castrate resistant disease, have led to the development of more potent and selective endocrine therapies. In addition, elucidation of the many factors in the bone microenvironment that promote the development and subsequent progression of skeletal metastases has led to the discovery of new bone-targeting agents that can delay the onset of skeletal related events and improve quality of life and survival. This review will highlight recently approved novel agents as well as others currently under investigation for the treatment of castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

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).

e16086 Background: Docetaxel (D) IV every 21 days, is the only cytotoxic agent that prolongs survival in men with castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Imatinib (I), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, modulates PDGFR-ß in tumor vasculature. Based on phase I data from our institution, we hypothesized that D plus I would prolong time to progression (TTP) in patients (pts) with CRPC. Methods: Subjects with CRPC received D 60 mg/m2 IV every 21 days plus I 400 mg PO daily. After 10 pts, the study treatment was modified due to toxicity so that pts received I 400 mg on 10 of 21 days/cycle. The primary endpoint was TTP. Secondary endpoints were rate of PSA response and overall survival (OS). The sample size of 43 pts was designed to provide 90% power to detect an increase in TTP from 5 to 8 months. Results: 43 pts enrolled from 8/05 to 9/08. Age at enrollment ranged from 54–86 years (median 69 years). 14 pts received <1 cycle of D plus I and were unevaluable: 10 had significant toxicity, 4 due to non-treatment related reasons. Primary toxicities were hematologic: 21% G4 neutropenia, 5% G4 anemia, and no G4 thrombocytopenia. Fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and electrolyte abnormalities were common, but <2 cases each of G3-G4 toxicity occurred. 1 case of G5 non-neutropenic sepsis occurred. 29 pts received >2 cycles of chemotherapy (mean 4.6). 12 pts had PR (41.4%), 9 had SD (31.0%), and 8 had no response (27.6%) by PSA. No objective responses were seen by CT imaging among 10 pts with measurable disease. 3 pts remain on trial. For evaluable pts, overall median TTP was 6.4 months (95% CL: 4.8, 8.4 months) compared with TTP of 5 months seen in previous trials. 23 (79%) pts had PSA progression, 3 pts died before progression, and 3 pts remain on trial. For all evaluable pts who had PR or SD by PSA (N = 21), median TTP was 7.1 months (95% CL: 5.5, 9.1 months). Median OS was 23.1 months (95% CL: 11.61 months, NR), compared with 18.9 months for GC Conclusions: Docetaxel on day 1 plus imatinib 10 days of each 21-day cycle resulted in meaningful improvement in TTP in the subset of pts who showed a response. Toxicity precludes its use in the general population, although its role in select pts with good performance status needs to be explored. [Table: see text]

247 Background: Since FDA approval in 2011, abiraterone (Zytiga) has supplanted docetaxel as preferred first-line treatment for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. In August 2012 enzalutamide (Xtandi) was FDA-approved for the treatment of castrate-resistant prostate cancer after docetaxel (Taxotere). We performed a retrospective chart review at a large medical oncology clinic specializing in prostate cancer to determine the PSA response rates of enzalutamide administered to men who had previously progressed on both abiraterone and docetaxel. This report includes some patients who participated in the Astellas/Medivation-sponsored Early Access Program; however, it represents the author’s independent clinical experience. Methods: Enzalutamide was administered at a dose of 160 mg daily. Patients were subsequently followed with monthly physical examination, PSA and routine blood tests. No hepatotoxicity or seizures occurred. Men were considered evaluable for PSA response if they received enzalutamide for twelve weeks. A PSA decline of 30% from baseline after 12 weeks was defined as a response. A PSA increase of 30% from baseline within 12 weeks was defined as disease progression. Men with neither a 30% increase nor a 30% decline were classified as having stable disease. Results: 66 men were treated and 63 were evaluable for PSA response. Median age was 67. Median baseline PSA was 68.5. All participants had disease that had progressed on abiraterone. 55 men received previous docetaxel. 38 had received previous Provenge. Two men stopped before 12 weeks because of intolerable fatigue. One man died of progressive disease before 12 weeks. After a median follow up of 12.5 weeks, 18(29%) men met criteria for PSA response. 13(21%) men had stable disease and 32(51%) men had PSA progression. Conclusions: Enzalutamide has activity in a heavily pretreated population of men resistant to abiraterone and docetaxel.
