Abstract Background: Development of distant metastasis is the main cause of deaths in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Understanding the mechanism of PCa metastasis is of utmost importance to improve its prognosis. The role of exosomal long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported yet fully understood in the metastasis of PCa. Methods: Co-culture assay, in-situ hybridization and quantitative PCR (qPCR) were applied to identify the presence of HOXD-AS1 overexpressing exosomes secreted by of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells. Migration and wound healing assays were carried out to evaluate the biological function of exosomal HOXD-AS1. Then a mouse model was used to elucidate the effect of exosomal HOXD-AS1 on distant metastasis of PCa in vivo. Further RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase assay were applied to identify the interaction between HOXD-AS1 and miR-361-5p. Moreover, rescue experiment was conducted to prove the binding of exosomal HOXD-AS1 and miR-361-5p. Last but not least, the application of serum exosomal HOXD-AS1 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for PCa was evaluated. Results: We discovered the exosomal lncRNA HOXD-AS1 is upregulated in CRPC cell line derived exosomes and serum exosomes from metastatic PCa patients, which correlated with its tissue expression. Further investigation confirmed exosomal HOXD-AS1 promotes prostate cancer cell metastasis in vitro and in vivo by inducing metastasis associated phenotype. Mechanistically exosomal HOXD-AS1 was internalized directly by PCa cells, acting as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to modulate the miR-361-5p/FOXM1 axis, therefore promoting PCa metastasis. In addition, we found that serum exosomal HOXD-AS1 was upregulated in metastatic PCa patients, especially those with high volume disease. And it is correlated closely with Gleason Score, distant and nodal metastasis, Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) recurrence free survival and progression free survival (PFS). Conclusions: Our study sheds a new insight into the regulation of PCa distant metastasis by exosomal HOXD-AS1 mediated miR-361-5p/FOXM1 axis, and provided a promising liquid biopsy biomarker as well as therapeutic target to the detection and treatment of metastatic PCa.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients from the named patient programme (NPP) at our centre. Methods: mCRPC patients who progressed on docetaxel were given cabazitaxel intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. Overall survival, progression-free survival, prostate-specific antigen response, quality of life (QOL) changes, and safety were reported. Results: Nine men received cabazitaxel (median: 7 cycles; range: 1–27) under the NPP and were followed until death. Median survival was 14.07 months (1.07–23.80) and progression-free survival was 2.67 months (1.07–20.27). QOL was stable for most patients. Common adverse events (grade ≥3) were neutropenia (n = 8), anaemia (n = 4), and leucopenia (n = 4). Conclusion: These data from 9 patients are consistent with the results reported in the TROPIC study with a manageable safety profile.

161 Background: Pts with nmCRPC are at risk for developing metastatic disease and cancer-specific mortality. There are no approved treatments for nmCRPC. APA is an orally administered next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor with antitumor activity in CRPC. SPARTAN evaluated the effects of APA on metastasis-free survival (MFS) in men with nmCRPC. Methods: Pts with nmCRPC and prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) of ≤ 10 mos were randomized 2:1 to APA (240 mg QD) or PBO. The primary end point was MFS, defined as the time from randomization to first radiographic distant metastasis (per blinded central review) or death. Secondary end points included time to metastasis (TTM), progression-free survival (PFS), time to symptomatic progression (SymProg), and overall survival (OS). Pts were eligible to receive study-provided abiraterone acetate plus prednisone after developing distant metastases. Second progression-free survival (PFS2, the time from randomization to disease progression or death after first treatment for metastatic CRPC) was also evaluated. Results: 1207 pts were randomized. Baseline PSADT was < 5 mos in both groups. APA decreased the risk of distant metastasis or death by 72% (HR = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.23-0.35; p < 0.0001), with a median MFS of 40.5 vs 16.2 mos in the PBO group. Secondary end points (TTM, PFS, and SymProg) were all significantly improved. At an interim analysis for OS, there was a trend favoring APA. At a median follow-up of 20.3 mos, 61% of APA and 30% of PBO pts were still on treatment. Rates of discontinuation due to adverse events were low in both groups (10.7% APA, 6.3% PBO). Mean baseline health-related quality of life scores were maintained with treatment, with no difference between groups over time. Of those whose disease progressed, 80% of PBO and 56% of APA pts received therapy for metastatic CRPC. PFS2 was significantly longer for APA vs PBO. Conclusions: APA significantly improved median MFS by 2 years in men with nmCRPC. APA also significantly increased TTM, PFS, SymProg, and PFS2. APA was associated with improved OS. These results support the addition of APA to androgen deprivation therapy in men with nmCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT01946204.

144 Background: In the phase 3 SPARTAN study, compared with placebo (PBO), APA, a next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor, decreased the risk of distant metastasis or death by 72% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.28; p < 0.0001) in men with high-risk nmCRPC. After 1 year of additional follow-up, PFS2 and safety were reevaluated to ensure maintenance of benefit against potential harm. Methods: Pts with nmCRPC and prostate-specific antigen doubling time of ≤ 10 mos were randomized 2:1 to APA (240 mg QD) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or PBO + ADT. All pts who developed distant metastasis, determined by blinded independent central review, were eligible to receive subsequent therapy including open-label treatment with abiraterone acetate + prednisone, provided by the sponsor. The exploratory PFS2 end point (time from randomization to disease progression on subsequent anticancer therapy or death) was evaluated, as was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Results: Median treatment duration with APA was 25.7 mos; with PBO, 11.5 mos (original analysis, mos: APA, 19.2; PBO, 11.2). Pts randomized to APA continued to show significant benefit in PFS2 (HR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.39-0.63; p < 0.0001) vs PBO (APA median time to PFS2 not reached vs PBO 39.3 mos). At a median follow-up of 32 mos, 51.3% of pts receiving APA, 8% of the 75 pts who crossed over from PBO to APA, and 99.7% of remaining PBO pts had discontinued study treatment. Rates of discontinuations due to progressive disease and AEs were 27.3% and 12.7%, respectively, in the APA group and 73.4% and 8.4% in the PBO group. There was no substantial change in the incidence of TEAEs in the APA group at the 1-year update. With regard to drug specific TEAEs, there were no grade 4 or 5 events; grade 3 TEAEs consisted of rash, 5.2%; falls, 2.4%; fractures, 3.1%; hypothyroidism, 0%; and seizures, 0%. Conclusions: APA was previously shown to result in an improvement in metastasis-free survival and symptomatic progression. With a median APA treatment duration of 25.7 mos, APA continues to show significant benefit in PFS2, and its safety profile remains unchanged. Clinical trial information: NCT01946204.

Background: The efficacy of docetaxel and carboplatin with oral estramustine was evaluated in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients and Methods: Patients were treated with intravenous docetaxel at 30 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 28-day cycle. Intravenous carboplatin (area under the curve, 6 mg/ml/min) was administered on day 1. Patients received oral estramustine at 626.8 mg/day throughout the treatment protocol. Patients were evaluated for response, with treatment continued until cancer progression or onset of severe adverse events. Results: Twenty patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated for a median of 3.5 cycles. Prostate-specific antigen decreased by more than 30% in 18 patients, including 14 patients with a decrease of more than 50%. Median overall survival was 11 months, prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival was 6.5 months, and radiographic progression-free survival was 7 months. Conclusion: Docetaxel and carboplatin with oral estramustine shows efficacy against castration-resistant prostate cancer.
