TPS256 Background: Pembro, a PD-1 inhibitor, and olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, have some single-agent antitumor activity in mCRPC. The phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-365 study (NCT02861573) showed promising activity with pembro and olaparib in pts with mCRPC unselected for homologous recombination deficiency, warranting further investigation. Methods: KEYLYNK-010 (NCT03834519) is a phase 3 trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembro + olaparib in molecularly unselected enza- or abi-pretreated pts with mCRPC who progressed with taxane chemotherapy. An estimated 780 pts will be randomly assigned 2:1 to receive pembro 200 mg IV every 3 wk plus olaparib 300 mg orally twice daily or abi 1000 mg orally once daily + prednisone/prednisolone 5 mg orally twice daily (enza-pretreated pts) or enza 160 mg/day orally (abi-pretreated pts). Stratification will be by prior treatment (abi/enza) and measurable disease (yes/no). Adults (≥18 y) with histologically confirmed mCRPC who progressed on androgen deprivation therapy ≤6 mo of screening, and an ECOG PS of 0 or 1 are eligible. Pts previously received either abi or enza (but not both) as well as 1 docetaxel-based regimen. Pts are required to provide tumor tissue for biomarker analysis. Responses will be assessed by CT/MRI and radionuclide bone imaging per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3)–modified RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) every 9 wk during the first year and every 12 wk thereafter. Treatment will continue with up to 2 y of pembro (35 cycles) and olaparib or abi/enza until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Primary end points are OS and rPFS. Secondary end points are time to initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy; ORR, and DOR per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 by BICR; time to PSA progression; time to first symptomatic skeletal event; time to radiographic soft tissue progression; time to pain progression; and safety. Exploratory end points are identification of molecular (genomic, metabolic, or proteomic) biomarkers indicative of response. Accrual began May 2, 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT03834519.

TPS262 Background: Docetaxel is an established treatment for pts with mCRPC. Pembro, a PD-1 inhibitor, showed single-agent antitumor activity in mCRPC. In the phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-365 study (NCT02861573), docetaxel + pembro and prednisone showed activity in pts treated with abi or enza for mCRPC, warranting further evaluation. Methods: KEYNOTE-921 (NCT03834506) is a phase 3 trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembro + docetaxel and prednisone in chemotherapy-naive pts who progressed with enza or abi therapy for mCRPC. An estimated 1000 pts will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks (Q3W) + prednisone/prednisolone orally 5 mg twice daily (BID) and pembrolizumab 200 mg IV Q3W or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV Q3W + prednisone/prednisolone 5 mg orally BID + placebo IV Q3W. Treatment will be stratified by previous next-generation hormone agent (abi or enza) and metastases location (bone only, liver, other). Adults (≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed mCRPC who progressed with androgen deprivation therapy (or postbilateral orchiectomy) ≤6 months of screening, have ECOG PS 0 or 1, and have adequate organ function are eligible. Pts must have experienced either progression after ≥8 weeks (≥14 weeks for bone progression) or intolerance after ≥4 weeks of abi or enza (but not both) in a chemotherapy-naive mCRPC state. Pts will be required to provide tissue for biomarker analysis. Responses will be assessed by CT or MRI and radionuclide bone imaging per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3)–modified RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) Q9W during the first year and Q12W thereafter. Treatment will continue with docetaxel and prednisone for up to 10 cycles and with pembro for up to 35 cycles or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Primary end points are rPFS by BICR and OS. Secondary end points are time to initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy or death, PSA response rate, time to PSA progression, ORR and DOR per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 assessed by BICR, and safety. Accrual began May 2, 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT03834506.

TPS258 Background: The mechanisms of action of pembro, a PD-1 inhibitor, and enza, an androgen receptor inhibitor, may be synergistic in the treatment of patients (pts) with mCRPC. The phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-365 (NCT02861573) study showed antitumor activity with pembro + enza in pts with mCRPC pretreated with abiraterone acetate. A phase 2 study (NCT02312557) of enza-pretreated patients with mCRPC showed that some pts had a profound and durable anticancer response to pembro + enza. Methods: KEYNOTE-641 (NCT03834493) is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembro + enza versus placebo + enza in pts with mCRPC. An estimated 1200 patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive enza 160 mg/day + pembro 200 mg IV Q3W or enza 160 mg/day + placebo. Treatment will be stratified by prior abiraterone acetate treatment (yes/no), metastases location (bone only/liver/other), and prior docetaxel treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (yes/no). Adults (≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed mCRPC who experienced biochemical or radiographic progression, ECOG PS 0/1, and adequate organ function are eligible. Pts will be required to provide tissue for biomarker analysis. Intolerance to or progression while receiving prior abiraterone acetate therapy is permitted, but not required. Prior chemotherapy for mCRPC, checkpoint inhibition, or any treatment with a second-generation androgen receptor inhibitor is prohibited. Responses will be assessed by CT/MRI and radionuclide bone imaging per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 Q9W during the first year and Q12W thereafter. Treatment will continue until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal, with up to 2 years of pembro/placebo. Dual primary end points are OS and rPFS by blinded independent central review. Secondary end points are time to subsequent anticancer therapy or death, ORR, DOR, PSA response rate, PSA undetectable rate, time to PSA progression, time to pain progression, time to soft tissue progression, time to symptomatic skeletal-related event, and safety. Accrual began July 28, 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT03834493.

TPS5595 Background: Pembro, an anti–PD-1 antibody, has shown antitumor activity as monotherapy and in combination with other agents in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). As the antitumor effects of enza may be pro-immunogenic, we hypothesized that combining pembro and enza could show additive or synergistic antitumor activity. Furthermore, pembro + enza previously showed antitumor activity in pts with mCRPC for whom abiraterone failed (KEYNOTE-365, NCT02861573) and in pts with mCRPC for whom enza monotherapy failed (KEYNOTE 199, NCT02787005). These data warrant further evaluation of the combination of pembro + enza when given at the initiation of ADT. Methods: KEYNOTE-991 (NCT04191096) is a phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enza + ADT + either pembro or placebo in patients with mHSPC. Approximately 1232 pts will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive enza 160 mg orally once daily + ADT + pembro 200 mg IV every 3 weeks (Q3W) or enza 160 mg orally once daily + ADT + placebo IV Q3W. ADT is receipt of an LHRH agonist or antagonist during study treatment or bilateral orchiectomy. Treatment will be stratified by prior docetaxel therapy (yes or no) and presence of high-volume disease (yes or no). Pts with mHSPC, with ≥2 bone lesions and/or visceral disease, who are naive to next-generation hormone agents, and who have ECOG PS 0 or 1 are eligible. Pts must provide tissue for biomarker analysis. Responses will be assessed by CT or MRI and radionuclide bone imaging per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3)–modified RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) Q12W from the date of randomization. Treatment will continue with pembro for up to 35 cycles, and treatment with enza will proceed continuously from day 1 of cycle 1 until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Dual primary end points are radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 assessed by BICR and overall survival. Secondary end points are time to first subsequent anticancer therapy, time to symptomatic skeletal-related event, PFS2 (progression after next line of therapy or death), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate, time to PSA progression, PSA undetectable rate, objective response rate, duration of response, and time to radiographic soft tissue progression. Other end points are safety and patient-reported outcomes (eg, time to pain progression). Clinical trial information: NCT04191096 .

5545 Background: Pembro + enza (cohort C) has shown antitumor activity and acceptable safety in abi-pretreated pts with mCRPC in the phase I/II KEYNOTE-365 study (NCT02861573). Updated results with new biomarker data from cohort C are reported. Methods: Pts who became intolerant to or for whom ≥4 weeks of abi failed in the prechemotherapy mCRPC state and who progressed within 6 mo of screening were enrolled. Pts received pembro 200 mg IV Q3W + enza 160 mg/day orally. Primary end points were PSA response rate (PSA decrease ≥50%; confirmed by a second value ≥3 weeks later), ORR per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review, and safety. Key secondary end points were DCR per RECIST v1.1 (CR+PR+SD or non-CR/non-PD ≥6 mo), DOR per RECIST v1.1, radiographic PFS (rPFS) per PCWG-modified RECIST v1.1, and OS. Biospecimens (eg, blood, tissue) were collected at baseline and during the study for biomarker analysis, including tissue PD-L1 expression, androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-v7) expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and a T-cell-inflamed gene expression profile (GEP). Results: Of 103 enrolled pts, 102 were treated; 39% of treated pts had measurable disease. Median (range) time from enrollment to data cutoff was 19.1 mo (1.1-28.8) for all pts and 21.4 mo (15.1-28.8) for pts with ≥27 wks’ follow-up (n=69). Confirmed PSA response rate was 22% in 101 pts with a baseline PSA assessment. Median time to PSA progression was 3.5 mo (95% CI, 2.9-4.0). In pts with measurable disease and ≥27 wks’ follow-up (n=25), confirmed ORR was 12% (2 CRs, 1 PR) and DCR was 32%. Median DOR was not reached (range, 0.0+ to 24.4+ mo); 2 pts had a response for ≥6 mo. In all pts, median (95% CI) rPFS was 6.1 mo (4.4-6.5) and median OS was 20.4 mo (15.5-NR). At 6 mo, rPFS rate was 55.1% and OS rate was 88.2%. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 92 pts (90%); most frequent (≥20%) were fatigue (38%), nausea (22%), and rash (20%). Grade 3-5 treatment-related AEs occurred in 40 pts (39%). Three pts died of AEs (1 AE was treatment related [cause unknown]). Of all pts, 29% had PD-L1+ tumors (combined positive score ≥1). Of 51 pts with AR-v7 data, 13.7% were AR-v7+ and 86.3% were AR-v7−. GEP was not significantly associated with ORR or PSA response. Conclusions: Pembro + enza continued to show activity in pts with abi-pretreated mCRPC. Safety of the combination was consistent with the known profiles of pembro and enza. A phase III study of this combination is ongoing (KEYNOTE-641, NCT03834493). Clinical trial information: NCT02861573 .

TPS181 Background: Treatment with novel antiandrogens (NAA) and androgen deprivation therapy prolongs life in men with mCRPC but approximately 40% patients (pts) have radiographic progression within the first year. Inhibition of androgen receptor signaling results in increased double-strand DNA breaks and genomic instability. NAA+PARP inhibitor (PARPi) combinations have shown induction of synthetic lethality by this mechanism in multiple preclinical studies. Homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene aberrations do not appear to be necessary for this synergy and an NAA+PARPi combination has shown improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in HRR-wild-type pts compared with NAA alone. Methods: CASPAR (A031902) is a randomized phase 3 study in which 984 pts will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to ENZ plus RUCA/PBO. A PK substudy will precede the phase 3 portion and enroll 6-18 pts to various doses of ENZ plus RUCA to establish safety and evaluate any clinically-significant drug-drug interactions (S-DDI). Treatment will be continued until disease progression and cross-over is not allowed. Co-primary endpoints are rPFS and overall survival (OS). The OS analysis will be undertaken as a primary endpoint if the rPFS endpoint is met. For a one-sided logrank test with a type 1 error rate equal to 0.025, the study has 90% power to detect a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.71 in rPFS (median rPFS of 15 and 21 months in control and combination arms, respectively), and 80% power to detect an HR of 0.80 in OS (median OS of 32 and 40 months, respectively). Key secondary endpoints are rPFS and OS in pts with vs without pathogenic BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations; and differences in adverse events and quality of life (QOL) outcomes between the treatment arms. QOL assessments include Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Prostate (FACT-P), Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF), and EQ-5D-5L. A key correlative endpoint is the concordance between tissue and plasma ctDNA-based HRR testing. Key eligibility criteria are age ≥ 18 years, ECOG PS 0-2, biopsy-proven prostate adenocarcinoma, progressive (PSA or radiographic) disease per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 guidelines, measurable or non-measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, no prior treatment for mCRPC (prior abiraterone, darolutamide, or apalutamide in non-mCRPC setting is allowed), no significant uncontrolled comorbidity, and no medications with S-DDI with ENZ/RUCA. HRR gene aberration is not required for enrollment. All pts will undergo next-generation targeted-exome sequencing from archival tumor tissue (new biopsy only required if no archival tissue available). CASPAR is available for participation to all US-NCTN sites starting in October 2020 with a projected enrollment of 3 years. Support: U10CA180821, U10CA180882; acknowledgments.alliancefound.org.

Discoveries over the past decade suggest that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is sensitive, but not resistant to, further manipulation of the androgen–androgen receptor (AR) axis. Several new therapies that target this axis have demonstrated clinical activity. In this article, preclinical and clinical findings occurring in the field of AR-targeted therapies are reviewed. Reviews of scientific and clinical development are divided into those occurring prereceptor (androgen production and conversion) and at the level of the receptor (AR aberrations and therapies targeting AR directly). Intracrine androgen production and AR amplification, among others, are among the principal aberrancies driving CRPC growth. Phase III data with abiraterone acetate and phase II data with MDV-3100, along with other similar therapies, confirm for the clinician that the scientific findings related to persistent AR signaling in a castrate milieu can be harnessed to produce significant clinical benefit for patients with the disease. Studies aimed at optimizing the timing of their use and exploring the mechanisms of resistance to these therapies are under way. The clinical success of therapies that directly target androgen synthesis as well as the most common aberrancies of the AR confirm that prostate cancer retains dependence on AR signaling, even in the castrate state.

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) represents a final stage of this malignancy for many men and is defined as the progression of prostate cancer despite castrate levels of testosterone. CRPC may present as a rising PSA, the development of new metastases, or worsening of known metastases. Recent advances have resulted in five new treatments for CRPC: the immunotherapy sipuleucel-T; the cytotoxic cabazitaxel; the androgen biosynthesis inhibitor abiraterone acetate; the radioisotope radium-223; and the antiandrogen enzalutamide. These have all improved overall survival in randomized phase III studies for patients with metastatic CRPC. Furthermore, multiple agents and combinations are currently in late-stage clinical testing. Men with advanced prostate cancer represent an important population for clinical and translational research and clinical trial participation should be considered as part of standard care.

Over the past decade, the treatment landscape in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has markedly changed, with the introduction of three new chemotherapeutic agents. The mechanism of CRPC is not fully understood, but it may result from multiple pathways, including a loss or androgen receptor (AR) specificity and increased downstream signalling activity that provide multiple targets for therapeutic agents. For some years, docetaxel was the mainstay of treatment in CRPC, but recently, cabazitaxel (a microtubule inhibitor), sipuleucel-T (a cancer vaccine), and abiraterone acetate (a CYP17 inhibitor) were approved for CRPC treatment. In Phase III clinical trials, these agents have shown significant improvements in survival—over mitoxantrone (for cabazitaxel) and over placebo (for sipuleucel-T and abiraterone acetate)—and were well tolerated. There are also two treatments in late-stage development, MDV3100 (an oral AR antagonist) and radium-223 (an isotope that creates breaks in double-stranded DNA). These have also shown improvements in survival in Phase III trials; their regulatory approval is expected soon. The modes of actions of the existing and new drugs in CRPC are varied, but some are complementary and investigations of different combinations of these medications are much needed; they may enhance efficacy, further extend survival, and improve outcomes in this formerly untreatable disease.

TPS5087 Background: Assessing multiple therapies in a single clinical trial can facilitate the rapid identification of new agents for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Niraparib (Nirap) is a highly selective PARP inhibitor, with potent activity against PARP-1 and PARP-2 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair polymerases. PARP inhibition may be especially lethal in tumor cells with genetic DNA damage response deficits (DRD). Based on promising preclinical and clinical data, this study is designed as a master protocol with nirap as a backbone therapy. Combination 1 assesses the safety and efficacy of nirap plus JNJ-63723283 (JNJ-283), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Combination 2 assesses nirap plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AA-P). Methods: This multicenter, global, open-label study is currently open at 18 sites in 5 countries of the planned XX sites, and is enrolling patients with mCRPC who have progressed on ≥1 androgen-receptor targeted therapy for mCRPC. Enrollment at time of abstract submission was 25 for combination 1. When combined with AA-P, the RP2D has been determined to be nirap 200 mg. The recommended phase-2 dose (RP2D) of nirap plus JNJ-283 was determined in Part 1 based on the incidence of specified adverse events and PK data to be 480 mg every 4 weeks. For Part 2 of the study, patients are assigned to receive oral niraparib daily plus JNJ-283 infusions once every four weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, study termination. Part 2 is described in the table. Clinical trial information: NCT03431350. [Table: see text]
