316 Background: To evaluate the potential benefit of curative radiotherapy (RT) to primary tumor in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with abiraterone. Methods: The clinical parameters of 106 mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone in the either pre- or post-chemotherapy setting were retrospectively evaluated. All patients had PSA progression or radiographic progression suitable for metastasis according to the RECIST guidelines with or without PSA progression. Patients were either oligometastatic (≤5 metastases) at diagnosis or became oligometastatic after systemic treatment were analyzed. Local RT to primary tumor and pelvic lymphatics was delivered in 44 patients (41%), while 62 patients (59%) did not have RT to primary tumor. Results: Median follow-up times for patients overall and for those who survived were 14.2 months (range, 2.3–54.9 months) and median OS for entire cohort was 21.9 months. The median OS was significantly higher in patients treated with local RT to primary tumor compared to patients without local RT (p = 0.04). Local RT to prostate and pelvic lymphatics significantly diminished local recurrence rate ( p = 0.003). In univariate analysis, a decline in PSA levels ≥50% of baseline was significant prognostic factor for both OS and PFS in entire cohort and in patients receiving prostate RT. In multivariate analysis, PSA response ≥50 of baseline obtained ≥3 weeks after abiraterone therapy is the only significant prognostic factor for better OS and PFS. Additionally, local RT to prostate is nearly significant prognosticator for improved OS. Patients treated with primary RT to prostate had significantly less progression under abiraterone and longer abiraterone period compared to patients without local prostate RT. Conclusions: Local prostate RT significantly improves OS and local control but not PFS, in mCRPC treated with abiraterone. Patients treated with primary RT to prostate had significantly less progression under abiraterone and longer abiraterone period compared to patients without local prostate RT.

314 Background: We study the prognostic ability of androgen receptor amplification (AR amp) from cf DNA in Japanese castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients. Methods: Multiple sets of serums were obtained from 38 castration-resistant prostate cancer patient at Chiba University hospital. Serum cfDNA was purified using a cobas cfDNA Sample Preparation Kit. AR copy number was measured using the QX100 Droplet Digital PCR System. Factors associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were statistically studied. Results: The number of patients received Enzalutamide (Enza)/Abiraterone (Abi)/Docetaxel (Doc) were 33/25/11. Regarding PFS, the presence of AR amplification, Bone Scan Index (BSI), PSA was significant factors on univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, AR amplification was an independent prognostic factor (HR. 8.9, p=0.003). Regarding OS, PSA and AR amp was significant factors. On multivariate analysis, AR amp (HR 4.2, p=0.028) was an independent prognostic factor. AR amp was related to the young age, high bone metastasis, high PSA, while no association was identified related the visceral metastasis. Overall, the presence of AR amp was negatively related to the initial ADT periods (r=-0.28). In contrary, among primary resistance cases (initial treatment periods <1 year), AR amp positively related to the treatment periods (r=0.31). Higher nadir testosterone (>15 ng/dL) was related to the higher AR amp (p=0.0169). AR amp was related to the treatment resistance in Enza (p=0.0216), while no relation was observed in Abi or Doc. Conclusions: AR amp significantly correlated with the poor prognosis. Higher serum testosterone level may predict the presence of AR amp in cf DNA. [Table: see text]

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.

108 Background: We assessed the cytotoxic effects of the gemcitabine in combination with oxaliplatin (GemOx) in prostate cancer cell lines and evaluated the efficacy and safety of GemOx in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who failed docetaxel based chemotherapy. Methods: Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were preclinically tested for their cytotoxic activity in LNCaP, PC3 and DU145 cell lines. The combined drug effects were evaluated using the Chou and Taladay analysis. Clinically, patients with CRPC who failed prior docetaxel chemotherapy were treated with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 at fixed-dose rate (10 mg/m2/min) and oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously every 2 weeks and prednisolone 5 mg orally twice daily. Unless disease progression or intolerability develops, treatment could be continued until 12 cycles. Primary endpoint was PSA response rate (PCWG 1.0 criteria). Results: The IC50of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin were, respectively, 1.25 μM and 0.69 μM for LNCaP cells; 50.00+ μM and 12.81 μM for PC3 cells; and 11.23 μM and 11.04 μM for DU145 cells. The GemOx combination displayed synergistic effects in all 3 cell lines. In phase II study, 31 patients were accrued. At the time of this analysis 7 patients were still continuing treatment. The median age was 67 years (range 57 ~ 81) and the median dose of docetaxel exposure was 525 mg/m2. A total of 231 cycles administered with a median of 9 cycles per patient. PSA responses were observed in 52% (95% CI, 34~69) and partial responses were observed in 7 of 10 patients with measurable disease. Out of 23 patients, 10 patients achieved pain response (44%). With a median FU duration of 8.0 months, the median time to PSA progression was 6.4 months (95% CI, 3.5~9.2). Peripheral neuropathy developed in 78% of patients but remained of grade 1 ~2 intensities. Frequently observed grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (10%), thrombocytopenia (10%), anemia (3%), and diarrhea (3%). Conclusions: GemOx is active and well tolerated in patients with CPRC after docetaxel failure and deserves further investigation in this setting (NCT 01487720). Clinical trial information: NCT01487720.
