126 Background: ADXS-PSA, an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes-based immunotherapy targeting prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is currently being evaluated in combination with pembrolizumab as a treatment for progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the phase 1/2 KEYNOTE-046 trial (Part B). Methods: A total of 37 patients received 1x109 CFU + 200 mg pembro IV every 3 wks, for up to 2 yrs or until progression/toxicity. Results: At entry, patients were ~70 yrs with median a Gleason score of 9, and bone predominant disease (70%). MSI-High was negative in 36 pts who were able to be tested. Eighteen (48.6%) patients had received prior docetaxel, 15 pts of whom (83.3%) had also received 1-2 next generation hormonal agents (NGHAs). Nineteen (51.3%) had not received prior docetaxel and 16 of these pts (84.2%) had received 1-2 NGHAs. Overall, 16 out of 37 pts (43%) had a decreased PSA post-BL with 6/37 (16%) pts achieving a confirmed PSA reduction ≥50% from baseline. The median OS (months) for the whole group (37 pts) was 33.6 m (95% CI, range 15.4-33.6 months). The mOS for pts with and without prior exposure to docetaxel was 16 m (5.9 -33.6) and NR at 30 months of follow-up (15.4-NR), respectively. Prolonged survival was observed in pts regardless of prior therapies, microsatellite stable (MSS) status or PSA delta <50% or ≥50%. Conclusions: Results with ADXS-PSA in combination with pembrolizumab in mCRPC, with or without prior docetaxel, show promising clinical activity to be further assessed in randomized studies. Clinical trial information: NCT02325557.

129 Background: Adenosine, generated by the ectonucleotidase CD73, mediates immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment by triggering adenosine 2A receptors (A2AR) on immune cells. Tumor CD73 expression may be prognostic in prostate cancer. We evaluated the clinical activity of adenosine blockade using A2AR antagonist, ciforadenant, with or without the anti-PDL-1 antibody, atezolizumab (atezo), in advanced mCRPC patients (pts) in an ongoing phase 1 trial. Methods: Eligibility required measurable disease and up to 5 prior systemic therapies. Prior anti- PD-(L)1 was allowed. Ciforadenant was administered orally BID as monotherapy at 50-200mg or 100mg in combination with atezo 840mg IV Q 2 weeks (wks). Safety and efficacy were evaluated by CTCAE4, RECIST1.1 and PCWG2. Serum was obtained for measurement of cytokines. Results: Of 33 enrolled pts, 10 received ciforadenant monotherapy and 23 in combination with atezo. As of 10/21/19, 14 pts are evaluable for response and described further. Median prior therapies is 3 (range 2-6) with median follow-up 10.8 (4-33) wks. Metastatic burden included 4 node only, 2 bone plus node, and 8 visceral metastases. Five pts experienced tumor regression: 2 ciforadenant monotherapy (tumor reductions 12%, 17%); and 3 combination (tumor reductions 4%, 27%, 42%). The pt with a partial response had PSA decline from 98 ng/mL to <1. Eight pts had stable disease (SD) for a clinical benefit rate (SD + PR) of 8/14 (57%). Median duration of disease control was 24 wks. Study treatment was well tolerated with two Gr3/4 adverse events (AEs) of fatigue (1) and anorexia (1). The most common Gr1/2 AEs were fatigue and nausea. Serum TNFα levels increased by 4-8 wks on therapy in 12/13 pts. Baseline levels of soluble VCAM-1, which has been implicated in metastatic spread/more aggressive disease, were higher in pts with tumor regression (771 ± 109 ng/mL, n=4) than pts with tumor growth (544 ± 62 ng/mL, n=5, p<0.05). Conclusions: Results from this phase 1 study show mCRPC can be sensitive to A2AR blockade with ciforadenant. Cytokine changes provide evidence of treatment-induced inflammatory response, which may predict efficacy. Data on all 33 enrolled pts will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02655822.

TPS266 Background: Metastatic CRPC remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although abiraterone (abi) in either the castration-sensitive or castration-resistant setting increases survival, resistance is universal and generally occurs within 9-16 months of initiating treatment. Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates mitotic functions and progression, and it is highly upregulated in prostate cancer following castration. PLK1 inhibition enhances the efficacy of abi in cell line models and patient-derived tumor xenografts via several mechanisms. Onvansertib (PCM-075; Trovagene, Inc.) is the first orally available PLK1-specific inhibitor. In phase 1 testing, onvansertib demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with transient and reversible hematologic effects. Methods: The goal of this phase 2 study (NCT03414034) is to observe the effects of onvansertib in combination with abi + prednisone on disease control, as assessed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline or stabilization after 12 weeks of study treatment, in subjects with mCRPC and early resistance to abi. Patients will be enrolled at time of PSA progression while on standard abi. A safety lead-in phase has been completed at one dosing schedule (24 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of a 21-day cycle) and is ongoing at a second dosing schedule (18 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of a 14-day cycle). Expansion phases are ongoing on both arms. In addition, a more continuous dosing schedule has been proposed (12 mg/m2 on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle). With 32 patients in each arm, there will be 90% power to detect a change in disease-control rate from 10% (null) to 30% (alternative). Based on a Simon’s two-stage optimal design, the study will terminate early if <2 of the first 13 patients achieve disease control. Exploratory analyses include evaluation of the presence of the androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) and other genomic alterations in circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA that may be associated with response to treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT03414034.

Purpose We previously demonstrated that thalidomide appears to add to the activity of docetaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Phase II studies combining docetaxel with bevacizumab have had substantial antitumor activity. We hypothesized that the combination of docetaxel plus these antiangiogenic drugs with different targets would have substantial clinical activity. To explore safety and efficacy, this was tested in mice and in human patients. Patients and Methods Preclinical efficacy of the combination therapy was evaluated in PC3 xenograft mice. Sixty patients with progressive metastatic CRPC received intravenous docetaxel and bevacizumab plus oral thalidomide and prednisone. The primary end point was a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline of ≥ 50%. Secondary end points included time to progression, overall survival, and safety. Results In the mouse model, combination therapy of docetaxel, bevacizumab, and thalidomide inhibited tumor growth most effectively. In the clinical trial, 90% of patients receiving the combination therapy had PSA declines of ≥ 50%, and 88% achieved a PSA decline of ≥ 30% within the first 3 months of treatment. The median time to progression was 18.3 months, and the median overall survival was 28.2 months in this group with a Halabi-predicted survival of 14 months. While toxicities were manageable, all patients developed grade 3/4 neutropenia. Conclusion The addition of bevacizumab and thalidomide to docetaxel is a highly active combination with manageable toxicities. The estimated median survival is encouraging, given the generally poor prognosis of this patient population. These results suggest that definitive clinical trials combining antiangiogenic agent combinations with docetaxel are warranted to improve treatment outcomes for patients with metastatic CRPC.

115^ Background: This open phase I trial assessed the bioavailability, and the effect of food on the bioavailability of ODM-201 600mg tablets compared to a 600mg capsule formulation. Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ODM-201 were studied in the extension period. Methods: The study had two parts: a pharmacokinetic (PK), and a safety and tolerability part. Dosing was 600mg bid with or without food. In the PK part, three single doses of ODM-201 were given over 3 weeks. In the extension part patients could continue treatment until disease progression or until an intolerable adverse event or condition that prevented further dosing of ODM-201. Results: Thirty men with metastatic chemotherapy-naïve castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) were enrolled, the median age was 68. The median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 18.2 ng/mL and testosterone 23.1 ng/dL at baseline. Food interaction was observed when ODM-201 formulations were administered after a high fat content breakfast compared to administration at fast. AUC and Cmaxvalues were about 50% lower after fast. Twenty nine patients have completed the 4-week visit. The PSA response rate (50% or more PSA decline) was 86%, with a median PSA decrease of -66% (-96, 5) at week 4 (N=18/21). Most commonly reported adverse events so far are fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematuria, and nausea. Conclusions: ODM-201 600mg bid as tablets has comparable PK to capsules used in the phase II ARADES trial. It is well tolerated and has good PSA response in chemotherapy-naïve patients with CRPC . Clinical trial information: NCT01784757.

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.
