TPS274 Background: The EphB4/EphrinB2 pathway is a promising therapeutic target for patients with mCRPC. EphB4 expression is increased in prostate cancer tissue and cell lines, and retained in castration resistant states. EphB4 crosstalks with the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways to regulate cell survival and proliferation, and its interaction with the transmembrane ligand EphrinB2 leads to T-cell suppression and immune evasion. A soluble decoy EphB4 receptor-human serum albumin fusion protein (sEphB4-HSA) binds to EphrinB2 and blocks interaction with the cell surface EphB4 receptor to promote immune infiltration and induce tumor cell death. Here we report an ongoing phase II study exploring the preliminary efficacy and safety of sEphB4-HSA in patients with progressive disease after frontline therapy for mCRPC. Methods: Eligibility criteria include mCRPC with disease progression after second generation AR targeted therapy (i.e., abiraterone or enzalutamide), ECOG PS ≤ 2, and adequate renal, hepatic and hematological functions. Pts having received 4 or more prior treatment therapies for mCRPC are excluded. The primary objective is efficacy as reflected by PSA response using PCWG3 criteria. Secondary objectives include safety and tolerability by CTCAE v 5.0, time to PSA progression, overall response by RECIST 1.1 and PCWG3 (bone) criteria, and rPFS. Translational endpoints include expression of EphB4 and EphrinB2 in metastatic tumor samples by immunohistochemistry and correlation with alterations in MYC, PTEN/PI3K, AR, and p53 pathways. sEphB4-HSA is administered as IV infusion over 60 min every 14 days with spacing to every 21 days after 6 cycles. Therapy will continue till disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, treatment delay ≥4 weeks, or patient withdrawal. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed using PSA response rate (PR and CR) with a Simon two stage minimax trial design assuming the undesirable overall response rate (null hypothesis) to be approximately 10% or less, and the alternate hypothesis suggesting success to be approximately 30% or more. Toxicity will be evaluated by the DSMC after the first stage including 15 patients. If 2 or more respond, then an additional 10 patients will be added. Clinical trial information: NCT04033432.

e15592 Background: Based on promising published data, this multicenter, phase II study was initiated to investigate a combined treatment using DC and cetuximab in the first-line setting for patients with gastric cancer. Methods: Patients aged 18–75 years with stage III (T4, nonresectable) or stage IV gastric cancer, ECOG performance status (PS) ≤2, and life expectancy ≥3 months were recruited to receive cetuximab (400 mg/m2 on day 1 then 250 mg/m2 q1w) and DC (D 75 mg/m2 and C 75 mg/m2; both as 1-h infusions on day 1 and then q3w). Treatment was stopped in the event of disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Tumor staging was performed after cycle 3 and then every 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall response rate and secondary endpoints included time to progression, overall survival and toxicity. Planned accrual was 79 patients. A per-protocol interim response analysis was planned for the initial 20 evaluable patients. Results: Preliminary data are available for 30 patients; median age 64 [range: 40–73] years; median ECOG PS 1 [range: 0–2]; adenocarcinoma 87%. Median cycles administered were 3 [range: 1–14] and the median follow-up was 1.63 months. The overall response rate was 27.3% (complete response, n=1; partial response, n=5). Stable disease was observed in 10 patients, and disease progression in 6 patients. The most relevant NCI-CTC grade 3–4 hematologic events per patient were leukopenia and neutropenia (73%), anemia (13%), and febrile neutropenia (10%). Major grade 3–4 nonhematologic toxicities were nausea (30%), vomiting (20%), diarrhea (13%), acne (13%), and fatigue (13%). Conclusions: DC and cetuximab were well tolerated and resulted in promising response rates and a predictable toxicity profile. The study is ongoing. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e16021 Background: Prostate cancer is a major problem in the aging male population. Docetaxel, the first-line reference treatment in CRPC induces a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response in 45% of patients and an objective tumor response in 12%. Preclinical studies suggested that curcuminoids inhibit tumor metastasis, invasion and angiogenesis and reverse drug resistance. We wanted to potentiate docetaxel by curcuminoïds in CRPC first line. Our previous phase I study showed the safety and the tolerability of CCM associated to docetaxel for advanced breast cancers. We have conducted in 2009-2010 a phase II study to assess the response of CRPC to this combination. Methods: Patients (n=30) with progressing CRPC and rising PSA were enrolled to receive the experimental treatment. Docetaxel was given in standard conditions (75mg/m², 1h i.v infusion every 3 weeks for 6 cycles + prednisolone) with CCM orally at the dose of 6gr/day (7 days by cycle: d-4 to d+2). The primary endpoint was response rate assessed by biological and paraclinical examinations. The secondary endpoints included safety, time to progression and compliance. Twenty nine patients were evaluable on PSA assessment and 15 on RECIST criteria. Results: 26 patients received the treatment totality and 4 withdrew prematurely. No patient withdrew for toxicity (2 deaths and 2 PSA progressions). A PSA response was observed in 17/29 patients (59%) (4 complete and 13 partial) observed rapidly (before the 3rd cycle) for 15 patients. The median time to subsequent PSA progression (TTP) was 5.8 months. Six patients (40%) had a partial objective response and 9 (60%) a stable disease. The median TTP on targets was 7.85 months (n=13/15). The regimen was well tolerated, with uncommon grade 3/4 toxicity; no adverse event was attributed to CCM. Of 169 cycles, 150 (89%) were completed with perfect compliance. Overall survival was 19 months (mean) and 24 months (median) with 17 events as of december 2012. Conclusions: These results are promising in improving the response rate to docetaxel in terms of both PSA decrease and objective response, with good tolerability and acceptability of CCM. A randomized trial is necessary to confirm this results. Clinical trial information: NCT01012141.

Purpose A multicenter phase II study evaluating efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ecteinascidin-743 (ET-743) in pretreated advanced soft tissue sarcoma patients. Patients and Methods Patients received ET-743 1,500 μg/m2 (24-hour intravenous infusion) every 3 weeks (group 1, 26 patients with one to two prior single agents or one previous combination chemotherapy; group 2, 28 patients with three or more prior single agents or two or more previous combination chemotherapies). Results Patients (30 women, 24 men) had a median age of 48 years (range, 22 to 71 years); 41% had leiomyosarcoma (eight of 22 of uterine origin), a median of two involved organs (range, one to four), and 93% had documented progressive disease at study entry. Patients received a median of three cycles (range, one to 20); 28% received six or more cycles. Fifty-two patients were assessable for response (WHO criteria): two partial responses, four minor responses, and nine with stable disease (≥ 6 months). Three patients were rendered tumor free after surgery. Median progression-free survival was 1.9 months (range, 0.69 to 17.90 months); 24% of patients were progression free at 6 months. Median survival was 12.8 months, with 30% of patients alive at 2 years. Four patients withdrew because of treatment-related toxicity. Two treatment-related deaths occurred (renal failure and febrile neutropenia, and rhabdomyolysis and decompensated cirrhosis, respectively) that were probably related to protocol eligibility violations. Reversible grade 3 to 4 AST or ALT occurred in 50% of patients and grade 3 to 4 neutropenia occurred in 61% of patients, with six episodes of febrile neutropenia. Nausea, vomiting, and asthenia were prevalent but mild and manageable. Conclusion With a 4% overall response rate (95% CI, 0.5 to 12.8) and an 11% rate of third-party-verified tumor regression (overall response rate + minor response), ET-743 has a 24% 6-month disease progression control rate, confirming evidence of antitumoral activity and a manageable safety profile in patients experiencing disease progression with pretreated soft tissue sarcoma.

62 Background: The efficacy and safety of enzalutamide (ENZA) monotherapy was assessed in hormone-naive men with prostate cancer (PC; any stage) eligible for androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). The primary end point of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate (80% or more decline), assessed at 25 weeks (wks), was 92.5% with a median (range) maximum decrease of –99% (–100, –86.5) (Tombal et al. ASCO-GU 2013). Here we present data from the extended follow-up at 49 wks. Methods: In an open-label, single-arm phase II study, men age 18 or older with histologically confirmed PC requiring ADT, non-castrate testosterone (8 nmol/L or more), PSA 2 ng/mL or more at screening and a life expectancy of 12 months or more, received 160 mg ENZA once daily (NCT01302041). Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Secondary end points included changes in endocrine levels, metabolic parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), quality of life, and safety. Results: Sixty seven men were enrolled. Median (range) age was 73 (48 to 86); 38.8% had prior metastases; 35.8% and 23.94% had undergone prior prostatectomy and radiotherapy, respectively. Fifty nine men continued treatment beyond wk 25, and 54 completed wk 49. PSA response rate (80% or more reduction from baseline) at wk 49 was 80.6%, with a median (range) maximum decrease of –100% (–100, –86.5). Luteinizing hormone and testosterone were increased from baseline to wk 49 by 215.2% and 101.7%, respectively. Mean changes from baseline for metabolic outcomes at wk 49 were: +5.02% (total cholesterol), +8.86% (triglycerides), –3.54% (HbA1c), and +19.72% (HOMA-IR). Total body BMD was maintained at 49 wks (–0.30% from baseline). The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were gynecomastia (47.8%) and fatigue (38.8%). Seven men had serious AEs, none of which were drug related. Data on patient reported outcomes will be presented. Conclusions: ENZA monotherapy was associated with significant PSA reductions after 49 wks of treatment in men with hormone-naive PC. Endocrine changes and AEs were consistent with potent AR inhibition. Outcomes for all end points at 49 wks were consistent with those reported at 25 wks. Clinical trial information: NCT01302041.
