35 Background: Prostate cancer in Black (B) men has been associated with poorer outcomes than their White (W) counterparts. However, this perception has been derived from studies conducted predominantly in the localized prostate cancer setting, were based on data derived from clinical trials and usually conducted solely within the United States. Methods: We reviewed the outcomes of cases with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated at St Bartholomew’s Hospital – the UK's largest Healthcare Trust - between 1997-2016. Statistical analyses were conducted using Intercooled Stata 8.2 (State College, TX, USA). Results: We identified 425 cases of mCRPC in the 20 year period. A substantial minority of our patients, 103 (24%) were Black (B), and the remainder White (W). Characteristics were matched in age (73 years in both groups), proportion enrolled in clinical trials (33% in both groups) and median PSA (65.6,B vs 78,W, p=0.86), with a larger proportion of Black patients with a ECOG Performance Status ≥ 2 (19%,B vs 9%,W). In the total cohort analysis, the median Overall Survival (OS) was 25.5 months (B) vs 21.8 months (W), (Hazard Ratio, HR=0.81,p=0.08). For the subpopulation who received chemotherapy at some point of their treatment (n=306), survival was comparable in both groups (median OS 23.8 months, B vs 22.8 months, W, HR=0.97,p=0.82). Interestingly, there was a trend to prolonged survival in the Black population in those who only received hormone therapy (n=106) throughout their treatment course; 39.7 months (B) vs 17.1 months (W), HR=0.54, p=0.019. In a multivariate analysis for prognostic factors for survival from mCRPC therapy considering ethnicity (HR 0.81 p=0.08), time from diagnosis to castrate resistance (HR 1.02, p=0.136), presence of bone metastases at CRPC diagnosis (HR 1.89,p=0.001) – only bone metastases were significant. Conclusions: In the first set of real-world data in a study conducted outside the US, we demonstrate that Black patients do not do worse than White patients with mCRPC. The study suggests that there is a greater margin of benefit of hormone-based therapy in the Black subpopulation.

Purpose Several studies have reported that among patients with localized prostate cancer, black men have a shorter overall survival (OS) time than white men, but few data exist for men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary goal of this analysis was to compare the OS in black and white men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were treated in phase III clinical trials with docetaxel plus prednisone (DP) or a DP-containing regimen. Methods Individual participant data from 8,820 men with mCRPC randomly assigned in nine phase III trials to DP or a DP-containing regimen were combined. Race was based on self-report. The primary end point was OS. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the prognostic importance of race (black v white) adjusted for established risk factors common across the trials (age, prostate-specific antigen, performance status, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, and sites of metastases). Results Of 8,820 men, 7,528 (85%) were white, 500 (6%) were black, 424 (5%) were Asian, and 368 (4%) were of unknown race. Black men were younger and had worse performance status, higher testosterone and prostate-specific antigen, and lower hemoglobin than white men. Despite these differences, the median OS was 21.0 months (95% CI, 19.4 to 22.5 months) versus 21.2 months (95% CI, 20.8 to 21.7 months) in black and white men, respectively. The pooled multivariable hazard ratio of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.91) demonstrates that overall, black men have a statistically significant decreased risk of death compared with white men ( P < .001). Conclusion When adjusted for known prognostic factors, we observed a statistically significant increased OS in black versus white men with mCRPC who were enrolled in these clinical trials. The mechanism for these differences is not known.

242 Background: Tumor stage, Gleason score, PSA, Performance Status have been identified as important predictors of survival in prostate cancer. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) is a validated score used to stratify patients according to comorbidities. To evaluate the prognostic role of CCI in patients with CPRC. Methods: A retrospective study based on an analysis of medical records of 212 patients with CRPC treated at Durand Hospital between 2010-2015. The CCI was calculated for each patient and a correlation with overall survival was performed. Statistical analysis included univariate analysis and multivariate analysis (Cox regression). Patients were stratified according CCI ≤ 7.6 or ≥ 7.6. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier curve. Results: We analyzed records of 212 patients with prostate cancer, of which 59 were resistant to castration. Median age 69 years, the PFS with androgen blockade was 32.4 months. Patients with CPRC 54% perform chemotherapy as first-line treatment of castration resistance and 46% performed treatment of hormonal manipulation (Enzalutamide or Abiraterone Acetate). Median overall survival of patients with CCI < 7.6 was 75 months versus 62 months for those with CCI > 7.6 HR: 1.19 (1.03 to 1.36) p: 0.01. In multivariate analysis the ICC was an independent predictor of mortality in these patients HR: 1.23 (1.03 to 1.48) p: 0.02. (Table 1) CCI ≤ 7,6 was predictor to subsequent lines in CPRC setting. Gleason score, PS were independent predictors of survival. Conclusions: Based on our results we can consider the CCI as an independent predictor of survival in CPRC patients. CCI could be an useful tool useful to select patients in clinical trial and community settings. [Table: see text]

5074 Background: Novel assessments of efficacy are needed to improve determination of treatment outcomes in clinical trials and in real-world settings. Methods: Cancer treatments usually lead to concurrent regression and growth of the drug-sensitive and drug-resistant fractions of a tumor, respectively. We have exploited novel methods of analysis that assess these two simultaneous processes and have estimated rates of tumor growth ( g) and regression ( d) in over 30,000 patients (pts) with diverse tumors. Results: In prostate cancer (PC) we have analyzed both clinical trial and real-world data from Veterans. Using clinical trial data from 6819 pts enrolled in 15 treatment arms we have established separately and by combining all the data that g correlates highly (p<0.0001) with overall survival (OS) – slower g associated with better OS. In PC, abiraterone (ABI) and docetaxel (DOC) are superior to placebo, prednisone and mitoxantrone. ABI (median g =0.0017) is superior to DOC ( g=0.0021) in first line (p=0.0013); and ABI in 2nd line ( g=0.0034) is inferior to ABI in 1st line ( g=0.0017; p<0.0001). Finally, using combined clinical trial data as a benchmark we could assess the efficacy of novel therapies in as few as 30-40 patients. Amongst 7457 Veterans, the median g on a taxane ( g=0.0022) was similar to that from clinical trials ( g=0.0012). Although only 258 Veterans received cabazitaxel (CAB), g values for CAB ( g=0.0018) and DOC ( g=0.0023) were indistinguishable (p=0.3) consistent with their identical mechanism of action. Finally, outcomes with DOC in African American (AA) ( g=0.00212) and Caucasian ( g=0.00205) Veterans were indistinguishable (p=0.9) and comparable across all VAMCs. Conclusions: The rate of tumor growth, g, is an excellent biomarker for OS both in clinical trials and in real-world settings. g allows comparisons between trials and for large trial data sets to be used as benchmarks of efficacy. Real-world outcomes in the VAMCs are similar to those in clinical trials. In the egalitarian VAMCs DOC efficacy in PC is comparable in AA and Caucasian Veterans -- indicating inferior outcomes reported in AAs are likely due to differential health care access, not differences in biology.

5033 Background: Real-world evidence (RWE), including synthetic comparator arms created from historical real-world data (RWD), has the potential to support the safety and efficacy evaluation of new medical products. However, many available RWD sources lack the details necessary to reliably identify patients comparable to clinical trial cohorts or to assess essential oncologic efficacy endpoints. This project demonstrates the ability to extract and analyze RWD to identify patients matching eligibility criteria to four historical clinical trials in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and calculate outcome measures. Methods: A total of 5,741 patients treated for prostate cancer at multiple institutions (2010-2020) were analyzed in two cohorts using data extracted from the EMR, Tumor Registry, Oncology Information System, and Picture Archiving and Communication System. Of 3,486 patients with prostate cancer in Cohort 1, 422 mCRPC patients were identified: those treated with ADT who achieved castration-level testosterone ( < 50 ng/dL), had evidence of metastatic disease, and exhibited rising PSA (PCWG2). These patients were further matched to four historical clinical trial treatment arms (COU-AA-301: 49, COU-AA-302: 143, AFFIRM: 30, PREVAIL: 79), based on prior chemotherapy and receipt of Abiraterone or Enzalutamide. Overall survival (OS) and time to skeletal related events (SRE) (pathological fracture, spinal compression, surgery to bone, and radiotherapy to bone) were calculated based on diagnosis and procedure codes using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) Estimator. Of 2,255 patients with prostate cancer in Cohort 2, 101 patients received Abiraterone or Enzalutamide and 59 patients had sufficient baseline and follow-up imaging to be scored. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was calculated from the start of treatment to the time of progression (RECIST 1.1) or loss to follow-up using the KM estimator. Results: In Cohort 1, median OS was 37.7 months (95% CI: 31.5-NR), and median time to SRE was 17.9 months (13.5-22.6). Median OS per patient cohort matched to historical trial treatment arm was COU-AA-301: 23.7 months (10.7-NR), COU-AA-302: 45.9 months (34.9-NR), AFFIRM: 35.3 months (6.34-NR), PREVAIL: 41.5 months (21.9-NR). In Cohort 2, median rPFS was 37.2 months (13.3-NR). Conclusions: The methodology employed in this analysis not only successfully identified a cohort of RWD patients similar to clinical trial-defined patients, but also curated sufficiently reliable data to calculate essential endpoints (e.g., rPFS). At scale, this methodology can be used to generate RWE, including synthetic comparator arms to support clinical trials with radiographic endpoints.
