5048 Background: ENZA has demonstrated benefit in men with metastatic and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ARCHES assessed the efficacy of ENZA with ADT in men with mHSPC, including pre-specified subgroups based on prior therapy. Methods: ARCHES, a multinational, double-blind, Phase 3 study (NCT02677896), randomized patients (pts) with mHSPC 1:1 to ENZA (160 mg/day) + ADT or PBO + ADT, stratified by disease volume (CHAARTED criteria) and prior docetaxel (doce) use. Primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS; centrally assessed radiographic progression or death within 24 weeks of treatment discontinuation). Secondary endpoints included time to initiation of new antineoplastic therapy and overall survival (OS). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 1150 men were randomized to ENZA (n = 574) or PBO (n = 576). Overall, 63% had high-volume disease, 18% had prior doce, and 91% had prior ADT or orchiectomy (orch). Median follow-up was 14.4 mo. ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS (Table); significant improvements in rPFS were also reported in prior treatment subgroups. Secondary endpoints improved with ENZA + ADT (Table), with no significant impact in time to deterioration in urinary symptoms. OS data are immature. Grade 3–4 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 23.6% of ENZA pts vs. 24.7% of PBO pts with no unexpected AEs. Conclusions: ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS and other efficacy endpoints vs. PBO + ADT in men with mHSPC. Preliminary safety analysis appears consistent with the safety profile of ENZA in previous CRPC clinical trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02677896. [Table: see text]

687 Background: ENZA, a potent androgen receptor inhibitor, has demonstrated benefit in men with metastatic and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Efficacy of ENZA with ADT in men with mHSPC is unknown. Methods: ARCHES is a multinational, double-blind, phase 3 study (NCT02677896). Patients (pts) with mHSPC were randomized 1:1 to ENZA (160 mg/day) + ADT or PBO + ADT, stratified by disease volume (CHAARTED criteria) and prior docetaxel therapy. Primary endpoint was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) assessed centrally or death within 24 weeks of treatment discontinuation. Secondary endpoints included time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, PSA and radiographic responses and overall survival (OS). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 1150 men were randomized to ENZA (n=574) or PBO (n=576); baseline characteristics were balanced between groups. Overall, 67% had distant metastasis at initial diagnosis; 63% had high volume disease, 18% had prior docetaxel. Median follow-up was 14.4 mo. ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS (Table); similar significant improvements in rPFS were reported in prespecified subgroups of disease volume, pattern of spread, region and prior docetaxel (HRs 0.24–0.53). Secondary endpoints improved with ENZA + ADT (Table); OS data are immature. Grade 3–4 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 23.6% of ENZA pts vs 24.7% of PBO pts with no unexpected AEs. Conclusions: ENZA + ADT significantly improved rPFS and other efficacy endpoints vs PBO + ADT in men with mHSPC, with a preliminary safety analysis that appears consistent with the safety profile of ENZA in previous CRPC clinical trials.

Purpose Ipilimumab increases antitumor T-cell responses by binding to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4. We evaluated treatment with ipilimumab in asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer without visceral metastases. Patients and Methods In this multicenter, double-blind, phase III trial, patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to ipilimumab 10 mg/kg or placebo every 3 weeks for up to four doses. Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg or placebo maintenance therapy was administered to nonprogressing patients every 3 months. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Results Four hundred patients were randomly assigned to ipilimumab and 202 to placebo; 399 were treated with ipilimumab and 199 with placebo. Median OS was 28.7 months (95% CI, 24.5 to 32.5 months) in the ipilimumab arm versus 29.7 months (95% CI, 26.1 to 34.2 months) in the placebo arm (hazard ratio, 1.11; 95.87% CI, 0.88 to 1.39; P = .3667). Median progression-free survival was 5.6 months in the ipilimumab arm versus 3.8 with placebo arm (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95.87% CI, 0.55 to 0.81). Exploratory analyses showed a higher prostate-specific antigen response rate with ipilimumab (23%) than with placebo (8%). Diarrhea (15%) was the only grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse event (AE) reported in ≥ 10% of ipilimumab-treated patients. Nine (2%) deaths occurred in the ipilimumab arm due to treatment-related AEs; no deaths occurred in the placebo arm. Immune-related grade 3 to 4 AEs occurred in 31% and 2% of patients, respectively. Conclusion Ipilimumab did not improve OS in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The observed increases in progression-free survival and prostate-specific antigen response rates suggest antitumor activity in a patient subset.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients from the named patient programme (NPP) at our centre. Methods: mCRPC patients who progressed on docetaxel were given cabazitaxel intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. Overall survival, progression-free survival, prostate-specific antigen response, quality of life (QOL) changes, and safety were reported. Results: Nine men received cabazitaxel (median: 7 cycles; range: 1–27) under the NPP and were followed until death. Median survival was 14.07 months (1.07–23.80) and progression-free survival was 2.67 months (1.07–20.27). QOL was stable for most patients. Common adverse events (grade ≥3) were neutropenia (n = 8), anaemia (n = 4), and leucopenia (n = 4). Conclusion: These data from 9 patients are consistent with the results reported in the TROPIC study with a manageable safety profile.

Aim: Docetaxel-based chemotherapy against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has recently been shown to be effective and tolerable. The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of low-dose docetaxel in combination with dexamethasone. Methods: Thirty-seven CRPC patients were administered a treatment regimen consisting of 50 mg/m2 docetaxel once every 3-4 weeks and 1 mg dexamethasone daily at our institution, between November 2004 and April 2014. Results: Twenty-four patients (65%) had a decrease in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >50%. The median overall survival (OS) and PSA progression-free survival were 26.2 and 10.0 months, respectively. Ten of 12 patients (83%) taking analgesic agents reduced their intake because of decreased pain levels. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia occurred in 2 patients (5%). Nonhematological toxicities were less frequent but sometimes severe. Treatment-related death occurred in 2 octogenarian patients, 1 due to gastric bleeding and the other due to infective endocarditis. Conclusion: Low-dose docetaxel in combination with dexamethasone is feasible in Japanese CRPC patients. Hematological toxicity is less than that seen with standard docetaxel therapy, but it is necessary to monitor patients for severe nonhematological toxicities, particularly very elderly patients.

5033 Background: To develop a new treatment modality, we conducted a phase III randomized trial of personalized peptide vaccination (PPV) for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -A24 positive patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who failed docetaxel chemotherapy. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive PPV or placebo. Four of 12 warehouse peptides selected based on preexisting peptide-specific immunoglobulin G levels or the corresponding placebo were subcutaneously injected 6 doses weekly followed the maximum of 30 doses bi-weekly until disease progression. The primary end point was overall survival (OS), and secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and immune responses. Results: From August 2013 to April 2016, 310 patients were randomly assigned (207 to PPV and 103 to placebo), and 306 patients were analyzed by the full analysis set (204 to PPV and 102 to placebo). Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups. Estimated median OS was 16.1 months (95% CI, 13 to 18.2) with PPV and 16.9 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.4) with placebo (HR, 1.04; 95%CI, 0.79 to 1.37; P = 0.77). Median PFS was also not significantly different among them. Median Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were observed in 41% in both groups. The analysis of treatment arm effects among various subgroups revealed a lower HR for OS in favor of the PPV arm in patients with a < 64% neutrophil proportion (HR, 0.55; 95%CI, 0.33 to 0.93), with a significant interaction test ( P = 0.003). Conclusions: PPV did not prolong either OS or PFS in HLA-A24 positive patients with CRPC progressing after docetaxel chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: 0000113088.

84 Background: Loss of retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) function has been shown to lead to CRPC and is strongly associated with poor outcome. RB functions as a transcriptional repressor; as such, loss of RB causes de-repression of pro-tumorigenic gene networks, including deregulation of the androgen receptor (AR) locus, excessive AR production, and castration-resistant (ligand independent) AR activity that can bypass hormone therapy. Our hypothesis is that leveraging RB status can direct treatment decisions. The primary objective of the trial (NCT02218606) was to determine the radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of AA/prednisone (AAP) with and without CBZ in mCRPC patients (pts) that have progressed on primary androgen deprivation therapy and no prior AR directed therapy or chemotherapy. Methods: This is a multicenter non-comparative randomized phase 2 trial. Pts were randomized 1:1 to AAP with crossover to CBZ upon AAP failure (Arm 1), or the combination of AAP + CBZ (Arm 2). Randomization was stratified by the CALGB 90401 prognostic risk groups. The primary endpoint was rPFS (time from randomization to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurs first). Arms were analyzed separately. Results: Between October 2014 and March 2019, 93 pts were accrued; 81 were randomized. Median age was 68 years and ECOG performance status was 0 or 1. Endpoints are shown in Table. Therapies were well tolerated. Conclusions: Results of AAP + CBZ (Arm 2) in chemotherapy naïve pts suggest that men may derive benefit from the earlier use of CBZ with acceptable toxicity, supporting further study of this combination in mCRPC pts. Circulating Tumor Cells are being analyzed for changes in RB/AR expression. Managed by: Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium; Funding: Sanofi US; Support: Prostate Cancer Foundation.

55 Background: The reported increased prostate cancer lethality in Af Ams has been attributed by some to altered androgen receptor (AR) signaling. We compared toxicity, PSA response, time-to-PSA progression (TTPP), and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in Af Am vs non Af Am pts with CRPC treated with AA + prednisone (P) vs placebo + P. We hypothesized that differences in response to AA may be observed if differences in AR signaling exist in Af Ams. Methods: COU-AA-301 is a randomized double blind study of AA (1000 mg + P 5 mg po BID) vs placebo + P post-docetaxel. Results: TTPP, rPFS, and PSA response rate were higher with AA vs placebo. In Af Am pts, treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) for AA vs placebo occurred in 96.4% vs 100.0% of pts (50.0% and 66.7%, respectively, grade 3/4); serious TEAEs occurred in 42.9% and 33.3% of pts (28.6% and 26.7%, respectively, grade 3/4). The safety profile of AA appears comparable between the Af Am and overall study populations. Conclusions: Although the small number of Af Am pts in this study precludes formal conclusions regarding efficacy and safety of AA in this pt population, the overall trend suggests these pts experienced clinical benefit from AA with a safety profile comparable to the overall study population. These findings do not appear to support the hypothesis that AR signaling accounts for the increased lethality of prostate cancer seen in Af Ams. Further studies of AA in Af Am pts are planned to understand the potential benefit in this population. Additional efforts are needed to increase participation of Af Am pts in clinical trials.

126 Background: Although abiraterone acetate (AA), a CYP17 inhibitor, increases survival in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), tumors eventually progress on therapy. The primary purpose of this study was to identify mechanisms of resistance to AA via analysis of the androgen receptor signaling pathway in serial tumor biopsies of men receiving AA and dutasteride (DUT), a type I and II 5-α reductase inhibitor. In this analysis, we report secondary endpoints including prostate specific antigen (PSA) response, toxicity, and incidence of flare. Methods: We enrolled 40 men with mCRPC. Patients initially received AA (1,000 mg daily) and prednisone (5 mg daily). After two months (mos), DUT (3.5 mg daily) was added. Therapy was continued until radiographic progression. A flare was recorded on bone scan, CT, or both if there were worsening lesions from baseline to 3 mos, decreasing PSA more than 50% from baseline at 3 mos, and stabilization or reduction of lesions at 6 mos. Results: Median follow-up was 13 mos. At the time of analysis, nine men remain on treatment. Twenty five percent and 18% of men received prior therapy with ketoconazole and/or chemotherapy, respectively. The median PSA at baseline was 28.8 ng/mL. After 2 mos of AA, median PSA declined by 54% to 10.9 ng/mL. Median PSA nadir was 6.3 ng/mL, reached at a median of 3.2 mos from baseline. 34 men (85%) experienced some degree of PSA decline. Twenty four men (60%) had a greater than or equal to 50% PSA decline and 12 (30%) had a greater than or equal to 90% PSA decline, reached at a median of 1.4 and 2.4 mos from baseline, respectively. There were 73% grade 1, 23% grade 2, 4% grade 3, and no grade 4 adverse events (AEs).AEs of interest included fatigue (45%), hypertension (38%, n=2 grade 3), hypokalemia (15%, n=0 grade 3), liver function test increases (15%), and edema (2%, n=0 grade 3). Seventeen men had imaging available for analysis, of whom four (23%) had flare on both 3 mos CT and bone scan and four (23%) had flare on only 3 mos CT scan. Conclusions: Given time of median PSA nadir, DUT may enhance efficacy of AA, though this warrants further investigation. Therapy with AA, prednisone (5 mg daily), and DUT is well tolerated with low rates of severe mineralocorticoid toxicity. Flare is seen on imaging in 47% of patients receiving AA. Biopsy data evaluating mechanisms for resistance to AA are not yet available. Clinical trial information: NCT01393730.

235 Background: New emerging therapies for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), such as cabazitaxel (CBZ), have prompted the need to identify appropriate patients (pts) for each specific treatment. We describe preliminary data on the experience with CBZ in patients (pts) with mCRPC in Spain. Methods: Medical records from docetaxel-resistant mCRPC pts receiving CBZ at 15 centers in Spain were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics, PSA response, overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and toxicity were collected. Results: Data from 79 consecutive pts (median age 70) were reviewed: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) zero to one (87.3%), Gleason score of 7 to 10 (87.1%), visceral involvement (24.1%), pain (74.7%), and radiological progression (68.4%) at CBZ initiation. Median duration of response to first-line androgen deprivation therapy was 20.8 months (mo). Most pts received less than or equal to two hormonal lines (72.2%) and only one docetaxel line (74.7%) before CBZ. Thirty-five (44.3%) pts had progressed on docetaxel. Progression less than six mo or greater than six mo after last docetaxel treatment was observed in 23 (29.1%) and 21 (26.6%) pts, respectively. New hormonal agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) were given before CBZ in 2.5% of pts and after CBZ in 17.7%. Pts received a median of seven cycles (range 2 to 22) of CBZ. CBZ dose-reductions or -delays for any cause occurred in eight (10.1%) and 20 (25.3%) pts, respectively. Prophylactic G-CSF was given in 32 (40.5%) pts. A PSA decrease of greater than or equal to 50% and greater than or equal to 30% was reached in 41.2% and 48.6% of pts treated with CBZ. Median OS from first CBZ cycle was 16.2 [CI: 10.4;-] mo and median clinical and/or radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was 9.9 mo [CI: 7.4; 13.1]. Fourteen (17.7%) pts experienced at least one grade greater than or equal to 3 treatment-related AE, the most common being neutropenia (n=4), febrile neutropenia (n=2), asthenia (n=4), and diarrhoea (n=2). No grade greater than or equal to 3 peripheral neuropathy was reported. An analysis of factors predicting outcome will be presented. Conclusions: CBZ administered in real-life practice and in the adequate treatment setting in Spain is associated with meaningful PFS and OS and an acceptable safety profile. Dose delays and reductions were low. Prophylactic G-CSF use in 4 out of 10 pts may have contributed to these good results.
