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.

e16536 Background: Docetaxel has become 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.

(Note these are different PSA progression criteria than used in CHAARTED, Sweeney, NEJM, 2015). A PCR-based NGS panel (OncoMine Comprehensive Assay v3) will evaluate available tissue from these patients. 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 (7 with high volume disease and 5 with low volume disease). The median age was 62 (41-83) years. 6/12 patients (50%) initiated enzalutamide and 6/12 patients (50%) initiated abiraterone. The median duration of treatment for both was 7.43 (1.53 – 16.0) months, the median time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression was 2 (0 – 11) months; the median duration of PSA decline was 2 months in patients with both high and low volume disease. Of note, 3/12 (25%) of patients did not have PSA response, all of them had high volume disease. 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.

217 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been the main treatment option for patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate carcinoma. However, the impact of continued ADT on clinical outcomes in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy is controversial. We conducted a randomized phase II study to assess the impact of continued ADT in patients with CRPC receiving docetaxel plus prednisolone chemotherapy. Methods: Patients with CRPC were randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive docetaxel (75mg/m2 every 3 weeks) plus prednisolone (5mg twice daily on days 1-21) with ADT (leuprolide 11.25 mg long-acting depo every 12 weeks, ADT group) and docetaxel plus prednisolone without ADT (No-ADT group). For patients in the No-ADT group, ADT was resumed at the end of chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was time to PSA progression. Secondary objectives included PSA response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Suspension of leuprolide support prevented the attainment of our original goal of enrolling 80 men. Results: Between April 2011 and July 2014, 45 patients were enrolled in this study; 23 patients were randomly assigned to the ADT group and 22 to the No-ADT group. The median age was 68 years (range = 49-81) and median baseline serum PSA was 60.3 ng/mL (interquartile range = 14.7-157.3). Time to PSA progression was 6.5 months in ADT group and 4.3 months in No-ADT group, respectively (P = 0.673). PSA response rates were 55.2% and 44.8% in the ADT group and the No-ADT group, respectively (P = 0.463). The median PFS and OS were 5.3 months and 19.4 months for ADT patients and 4.3 months and 20.8 months for No-ADT patients, respectively (P = 0.608, P = 0.635). The testosterone level rose to more than the castrate level in 5 (22.7%) patients of the No-ADT group. Conclusions: Clinical outcomes were not significantly different when patients with CRPC received concurrent ADT, or were not so treated, when receiving docetaxel plus prednisolone chemotherapy.

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.

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.

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.

278 Background: PSA decline (PSAD) in CRPC after withdrawal of antiandrogens and steroid related drugs is well established. DW responses have been anecdotal and not well characterized. In this study we investigated the frequency and magnitude of PSA changes after DW. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients treated in the Royal Marsden for CRPC with D monotherapy. Patients were considered evaluable if they had between DW and their next treatment or radiotherapy an interval of at least 7 days, no other intervention and at least one PSA reading. Patients who received radiotherapy during treatment with D or received D for palliation of symptoms were excluded. The number of patients showing PSAD was recorded together with its percentage change from baseline. Chi-square test was used to compare response rates between different groups and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the description of frequencies. PSA progression (PSAP) was defined according to Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 criteria. Results: 200 patients were identified who had received D of which 50 were evaluable. During D treatment PSA responses were not available for 5 patients, while 16 (35%, 95%CI [20%-50%]) had a ≥ 50% PSAD which was confirmed a month later with a second reading. For the responders, the median duration of PSA response from initiation of treatment to PSAP was 293 days (range: 219 to 1063). After DW, PSAD was observed in 12 patients (24%, 95% CI [12%,36%]). PSAD ≥ 25%, ≥ 30% and ≥ 50% was observed in 6, 3 and 2 patients respectively (12%, 6% and 4%) and in only one could the ≥ 30% PSAD be confirmed with a second reading a month later. In 5 cases of ≥ 25% PSAD, next treatment was initiated despite a dropping PSA, after 8 to 43 days. In one case only was PSAP reached during DW with a response duration of 53 days from DW to PSAP. The frequency of ≥ 25% PSAW responses was not significantly different between patients with and without prior response to dexamethasone: 6% and 17% respectively, Chi-square test p = 0.29. One patient reported improvement of his urinary symptoms after DW. Conclusions: DW responses are observed in a minority of patients. This phenomenon merits further prospective characterization and needs to be considered in the design of clinical trials.

TPS5086 Background: Approximately 20% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) harbor mutations in genes encoding DNA repair proteins (e.g. ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, RAD51, CHEK2, FANCA). These mutations impact base excision repair and alternative end-joining, which rely on the activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Olaparib (olap) inhibits PARP and showed activity in a post hoc analysis in mCRPC patients with DNA repair defects (DRD). In a subgroup analysis of the NCI 9012 trial evaluating abiraterone (abi) +/- veliparib (a PARP inhibitor), patients with DRD in both treatment groups had a > 80% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate and prolonged progression free survival (PFS) (13.8 mos vs. 7.8 mos; P = 0.01). Preclinical data suggests interactions between androgen signaling and PARP activity. These observations provide the rationale to evaluate the efficacy of olap, abi or the combination in patients with DRD. Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, open-label phase 2 clinical trial with a primary endpoint of objective PFS (radiographic + clinical). Secondary endpoints: objective disease and PSA response rates. Analysis of tumor specimens, circulating tumor cells/DNA will be performed. Eligible patients with progressive mCRPC, no prior mCRPC therapy with tumor loss of ATM, BRCA1 or BRCA2 (based on known germline loss, prior CLIA certified tumor analysis or new metastatic biopsy) will be stratified by germline vs. somatic mutational status and randomized 1:1:1 to abi (1000 mg daily) + prednisone (5 mg bid), olap (300 mg daily) or olap + abi + prednisone (same doses). Patients in single agent arms may cross over to opposite single agent therapy at progression. An exploratory cohort of patients with DNA repair defects besides ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2 may receive olap. Statistical analysis will provide median, 12-month, and 24-month product-limit estimates of PFS by treatment arm. The study is recruiting 60 randomized patients at sites in the US. The trial is coordinated by the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium, LLC and funded by AstraZeneca. Clinical trial information: NCT03012321.

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.
