12 Background: CheckMate 9KD (NCT03338790) is a phase 2 trial of nivolumab (NIVO; anti-PD-1) in combination with rucaparib, docetaxel (DOCE), or enzalutamide for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). DOCE is a standard-of-care chemotherapy for mCRPC that may potentiate antitumor immune responses, thus supporting its use in combination with NIVO, which has shown limited antitumor activity in mCRPC as monotherapy. We report final analysis results for Arm B (NIVO + DOCE) of CheckMate 9KD. Methods: Arm B enrolled patients with chemotherapy-naive mCRPC with ongoing androgen deprivation therapy and ≤ 2 prior novel antiandrogen therapies (NATs; i.e., abiraterone, enzalutamide, etc.). Patients received NIVO 360 mg + DOCE 75 mg/m2 Q3W + prednisone 5 mg BID for ≤ 10 cycles, followed by NIVO 480 mg Q4W until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity (up to 2 years). Coprimary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and prostate-specific antigen response rate (PSA-RR; defined as a ≥ 50% PSA reduction). Secondary endpoints included radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Of 84 treated patients with a median age of 71 years (range: 53-88), 27% had visceral disease and 54% had measurable disease. The median number of docetaxel cycles was 8; the median number of nivolumab doses was 11. Median follow up was 15.2 months. The table displays the efficacy outcomes, which appear to show comparable ORR in patients receiving versus not receiving prior NAT. There was 1 (2.2%) complete objective response and 17 (37.8%) partial responses in 45 patients with measurable disease. Any-grade treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) occurred in 95.2% of patients, most commonly fatigue (39.3%), diarrhea (35.7%), and alopecia (34.5%). Grade 3-4 TRAEs occurred in 47.6% of patients, most commonly neutropenia (16.7%). TRAEs led to discontinuation in 29.8% of patients. The most common immune-related AEs were GI (35.7%) or skin-related (26.2%). There were 3 treatment-related deaths (1 pneumonitis related to NIVO; 2 pneumonias related to DOCE). Conclusions: NIVO + DOCE has encouraging clinical activity in patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC, regardless of prior NAT, with a safety profile consistent with those of the individual agents. These outcomes support the ongoing phase 3 CheckMate 7DX trial of NIVO + DOCE vs placebo + DOCE for mCRPC (NCT04100018). Clinical trial information: NCT03338790. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE BRCA1 or BRCA2 ( BRCA) alterations are common in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and may confer sensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. We present results from patients with mCRPC associated with a BRCA alteration treated with rucaparib 600 mg twice daily in the phase II TRITON2 study. METHODS We enrolled patients who progressed after one to two lines of next-generation androgen receptor–directed therapy and one taxane-based chemotherapy for mCRPC. Efficacy and safety populations included patients with a deleterious BRCA alteration who received ≥ 1 dose of rucaparib. Key efficacy end points were objective response rate (ORR; per RECIST/Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 in patients with measurable disease as assessed by blinded, independent radiology review and by investigators) and locally assessed prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (≥ 50% decrease from baseline) rate. RESULTS Efficacy and safety populations included 115 patients with a BRCA alteration with or without measurable disease. Confirmed ORRs per independent radiology review and investigator assessment were 43.5% (95% CI, 31.0% to 56.7%; 27 of 62 patients) and 50.8% (95% CI, 38.1% to 63.4%; 33 of 65 patients), respectively. The confirmed PSA response rate was 54.8% (95% CI, 45.2% to 64.1%; 63 of 115 patients). ORRs were similar for patients with a germline or somatic BRCA alteration and for patients with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 alteration, while a higher PSA response rate was observed in patients with a BRCA2 alteration. The most frequent grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse event was anemia (25.2%; 29 of 115 patients). CONCLUSION Rucaparib has antitumor activity in patients with mCRPC and a deleterious BRCA alteration, but with a manageable safety profile consistent with that reported in other solid tumor types.

80 Background: The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor rucaparib was granted accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration for patients with BRCA+ mCRPC based on results from the phase 2 TRITON2 study (NCT02952534). The TP53 tumor suppressor gene is among the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers, including mCRPC, and alterations in TP53, PTEN, and RB1 are associated with poor prognosis in patients with prostate cancer and other tumor types. We present data on co-occurring alterations in patients with BRCA+ mCRPC treated with rucaparib in TRITON2. Methods: Patients had progressed on 1–2 lines of androgen receptor-directed therapy and 1 taxane-based chemotherapy and were treated with rucaparib 600 mg BID. Tissue and/or cell-free DNA extracted from plasma samples were profiled comprehensively for genomic alterations using Foundation Medicine, Inc., next-generation sequencing assays. Objective response rate (ORR) was assessed per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors and Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria by independent radiologic review of patients with measurable disease. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate (≥50% decrease from baseline) was assessed in all patients. Results: Tissue and/or plasma samples were available for 114/115 patients with BRCA+ mCRPC (visit cutoff date: Dec. 23, 2019). Among patients with BRCA+ mCRPC who had samples available for comprehensive genomic profiling, 36.8% (42/114) had a co-occurring alteration in TP53. Deleterious alterations in PTEN were observed in 34.2% (39/114) of patients, 44% (17/39) of which were homozygous deletions of PTEN. RB1 loss was observed in 12.3% (14/114) of patients and was seen more frequently in patients with measurable disease (18.0%, 11/61) than in patients with non-measurable disease (5.7%, 3/53). Although patients with and without TP53 mutations had generally similar baseline demographics and disease characteristics, visceral disease was more prevalent in patients with TP53 mutations (54.8%; 23/42) than in those without them (29.2%; 21/72). Similar ORR and PSA response rates were seen in patients with BRCA+ mCRPC with or without TP53 mutation, with a non-significant trend towards lower response rates in patients with co-occurring TP53 alterations. Conclusions: Results from TRITON2 showed antitumor activity for rucaparib in patients with BRCA+ mCRPC associated with or without co-occurring alterations in TP53. Demographics and additional efficacy analyses in genomic subgroups with co-occurring alterations in TP53, PTEN, and RB1 will be reported. Clinical trial information: NCT02952534. [Table: see text]

329 Background: We previously reported a novel cell reprogramming approach, termed drug efficacy reprogramming, as a new model for identifying candidate antitumor drugs targeting the cancer stemness-related gene network, and identified ribavirin as a candidate drug for overcoming docetaxel-resistant castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We conducted this phase 1/2a trial of docetaxel plus ribavirin for reprogramming efficacy in patients with progressive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who have previously received docetaxel alone. (DRREEM trial) Methods: In this clinical study, patients received intravenous docetaxel at 60-75 mg/m2is intravenously administered on Cycle1-Day1 in combination with the investigational drug (ribavirin). Docetaxel is administered at 3-week intervals (1 cycle) (total: 3 cycles). During administration, the dose may be reduced based on the subject’s condition if necessary. The primary endpoint was safety. Accessory evaluation items included prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, objective response rate, health-related quality of lifel. Exploratory items included changes in CTC count, cfDNA, and exosome. Patients with progressive CRPC based on PSA and/or radiographic criteria, performance status (PS) 0–1, and normal renal and hepatic function were eligible. Results: Six patients were enrolled in this study; average age was 71.7±4.2. Average serum PSA concentration was 100.1±128.0 ng/ml (range: 3.0-336.8). The median cycle of docetaxel received before the study was 6 cycles. Safety: Grade 3/4 adverse events requiring dose modification were not observed. Two patients showed PSA reduction. Three patients showed stable disease. Changes in the blood concentrations of ribavirin, docetaxel, and prednisolone were within normal range. Conclusions: This combination of ribavirin with docetaxel was well tolerated with a promising response rate that justifies further investigations in docetaxel-resistant CRPC. This clinical study provides a useful drug re-positioning model in the area of translational medicine. Clinical trial information: UMIN000021107.

Purpose To determine the clinical activity of OGX-011, an antisense inhibitor of clusterin, in combination with docetaxel/prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive docetaxel/prednisone either with (arm A) or without (arm B) OGX-011 640 mg intravenously weekly. The primary end point was the proportion of patients with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline of ≥ 50% from baseline, with the experimental therapy being considered of interest if the proportion of patients with a PSA decline was more than 60%. Secondary end points were objective response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and changes in serum clusterin. Results Eighty-two patients were accrued, 41 to each arm. OGX-011 adverse effects included rigors and fevers. After cycle 1, median serum clusterin decreased by 26% in arm A and increased by 0.9% in arm B (P < .001). PSA declined by ≥ 50% in 58% of patients in arm A and 54% in arm B. Partial response occurred in 19% and 25% of patients in arms A and B, respectively. Median PFS and OS times were 7.3 months (95% CI, 5.3 to 8.8 months) and 23.8 months (95% CI, 16.2 months to not reached), respectively, in arm A and 6.1 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 8.6 months) and 16.9 months (95% CI, 12.8 to 25.8 months), respectively, in arm B. Baseline factors associated with improved OS on exploratory multivariate analysis were an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.27; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.51), presence of bone or lymph node metastases only (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.79), and treatment assignment to OGX-011 (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.87). Conclusion Treatment with OGX-011 and docetaxel was well tolerated with evidence of biologic effect and was associated with improved survival. Further evaluation is warranted.

BackgroundImmune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has low response rates in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), in part due to few T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) promotes intratumoral T cell infiltration but induces upregulation of PD-1 and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) within the prostate TME. Combined anti-CTLA-4 plus anti-PD-1 can partly overcome this adaptive resistance and was recently shown to augment responses in patients with mCRPC with measurable disease. Although bone is the most common site of metastasis in prostate cancer, patients with bone-predominant disease are frequently excluded from trials because they lack measurable disease, which limits assessment of disease progression and tissue sampling. We therefore designed this study to investigate combined ICT in mCRPC to bone.HypothesisCombined anti-CTLA-4 (tremelimumab) plus anti-PD-L1 (durvalumab) is safe and well tolerated in patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC to bone.Patients and methodsIn this single-arm pilot study, men with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC to bone received tremelimumab (75 mg intravenous) plus durvalumab (1500 mg intravenous) every 4 weeks (up to four doses), followed by durvalumab (1500 mg intravenous) maintenance every 4 weeks (up to nine doses). The primary endpoint was incidence of adverse events. Secondary endpoints included serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), progression-free survival (PFS), radiographic PFS (rPFS), and maximal PSA decline.ResultsTwenty-six patients were treated between August 8, 2017 and March 28, 2019. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 11 patients (42%), with no grade 4 or 5 events. TRAEs leading to discontinuation occurred in three patients (12%). PSA decline ≥50% occurred in three patients (12%). Six patients (24%) achieved stable disease for >6 months. At a median follow-up of 43.6 months, median rPFS was 3.7 months (95% CI: 1.9 to 5.7), and median overall survival was 28.1 months (95% CI: 14.5 to 37.3). Post-treatment evaluation of the bone microenvironment revealed transcriptional upregulation in myeloid and neutrophil immune subset signatures and increased expression of inhibitory immune checkpoints.ConclusionsTremelimumab plus durvalumab was safe and well tolerated in patients with chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC to bone, with potential activity in a small number of patients as measured by rPFS. Combination of CTLA-4 and PD-L1 blockade with therapies targeting the myeloid compartment or other inhibitory immune receptors may be necessary to overcome mechanisms of resistance within prostate bone microenvironment.Trial registration numberNCT03204812.

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.

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.

BackgroundCheckpoint inhibitors can induce profound anticancer responses, but programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibition monotherapy has shown minimal activity in prostate cancer. A published report showed that men with prostate cancer who were resistant to the second-generation androgen receptor inhibitor enzalutamide had increased programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on circulating antigen-presenting cells. We hypothesized that the addition of PD-1 inhibition in these patients could induce a meaningful cancer response.MethodsWe evaluated enzalutamide plus the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab in a single-arm phase II study of 28 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mprogressing on enzalutamide alone. Pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenous was given every 3 weeks for four doses with enzalutamide. The primary endpoint was prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline of ≥50%. Secondary endpoints were objective response, PSA progression-free survival (PFS), time to subsequent treatment, and time to death. Baseline tumor biopsies were obtained when feasible, and samples were sequenced and evaluated for the expression of PD-L1, microsatellite instability (MSI), mutational and neoepitope burdens.ResultsFive (18%) of 28 patients had a PSA decline of ≥50%. Three (25%) of 12 patients with measurable disease at baseline achieved an objective response. Of the five responders, two continue with PSA and radiographic response after 39.3 and 37.8 months. For the entire cohort, median follow-up was 37 months, and median PSA PFS time was 3.8 months (95% CI: 2.8 to 9.9 months). Time to subsequent treatment was 7.21 months (95% CI: 5.1 to 11.1 months). Median overall survival for all patients was 21.9 months (95% CI: 14.7 to 28 .4 months), versus 41.7 months (95% CI: 22.16 to not reached (NR)) in the responders. Of the three responders with baseline biopsies, one had MSI high disease with mutations consistent with DNA-repair defects. None had detectable PD-L1 expression.ConclusionsPembrolizumab has activity in mCRPC when added to enzalutamide. Responses were deep and durable and did not require tumor PD-L1 expression or DNA-repair defects.Trial registration numberclinicaltrials.gov (NCT02312557).

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.
