Aim: To evaluate the influence of YB-1 rs10493112 variant as a genetic marker for response to second-generation androgen receptor axis-target agents. Methods: A hospital-based cohort study of 78 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer was conducted. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan® allelic discrimination technology. Main results: In abiraterone-treated and high-risk patients, YB-1 rs10493112 AA genotype carriers showed lower progression-free survival than C allele genotype patients (4 vs 17 months; p = 0.009). For carriers of AA genotype, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed a fivefold increased risk of progression (p = 0.035). Conclusion: The study findings suggest that, for metastatic and castration-resistant prostate cancer patients, this polymorphism might be a putative marker for the clinical outcome.

213 Background: The presence and the impact of metabolic syndrome (MS) in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) men treated with novel hormonal therapies, as abiraterone, has not still been studied. The study aims to assess the impact of MS on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from time starting abiraterone. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series of metastatic CRPC patients treated with abiraterone after docetaxel failure. MS, as defined by modified Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria, was assessed at the time of initiation of abiraterone, during treatment and follow-up. Cox regression model was used to evaluate the role of MS on the two end-points. Results: One hundred seventy eight patients had sufficient data to assess the presence of MS. Mean age (± SD) at start of abiraterone was 74.0 ± 7.7 years. Seventy out of 178 patients (39.5%) met MS criteria at baseline, before abiraterone initiation, whereas for eleven patients this occurred during treatment. Median PFS was equal to 5 months for patients with MS versus 9 months for those without MS. Patients with MS had a 2-fold increased risk of progression or death for all causes than patients without MS (HR=1.9, 95% CI [1.3-2.7], P<0.001). Median OS was 16 months and 22 months in patients with and without MS, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, MS resulted not significantly associated to OS (HR=1.2, 95% CI [0.8-1.9], P=0.340). Conclusions: MS may represent a complication of patients treated with abiraterone. The presence of MS appears to be a risk factor for shorter PFS in patients with CRPC treated with abiraterone, even if it does not show any impact on OS, so it needs a further prospective evaluation.

e593 Background: The use of radium-223 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves overall survival (OS) and quality of life. Combination of radium-223 with second-generation anti-androgens has further improved OS; however, the optimal length of radium-223 treatment for maximal effect remains unknown. Methods: We reviewed 35 consecutive patients with mCRPC who received radium-223 from December 2012 to August 2015 at Thomas Jefferson University. Patients were divided into two groups: those who received full treatment of 6 injections (n = 18) versus those who received less than 6 injections (n = 17). Kaplan-Meier analysis of OS were tested for difference by treatment group using Log Rank test. Univariable association with survival outcomes was calculated with univariable Cox regression and Log Rank tests. Results: Mean age was 73 ± 10 years and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ranged from 50-90 (median, 80). Median follow-up was 13.9 months. Eighteen patients were receiving concurrent second generation anti-androgens at the start of treatment. Median OS was 12 months for patients who received 6 injections and 6.48 months for patients who received less than 6 injections (p = 0.0045). The results of univariate Cox regression analysis revealed full treatment was associated with increased OS (p = 0.0013). On multivariate analysis accounting for KPS, full treatment was significantly associated with improved OS (p = 0.0028). Conclusions: In this retrospective, single-institution analysis, we demonstrated that full course completion of radium-223 was associated with improved OS in patients with mCRPC. These patients should be optimally supported during treatment to allow for therapy completion.

Secondary hormone therapy, abiraterone and enzalutamide, has improved outcomes for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and prolonged patients’ lives significantly. Various studies have compared the cancer-related outcomes, adverse effects, and drug-induced comorbidities in patients with mCRPC who are treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide. However, few studies have explored associations between survival and comorbidities or comprehensive analyzed newly developed comorbidities during and after secondary hormone therapy. We attempted to clarify whether the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) overall or itemized is predictive for overall survival, and we compared newly developed comorbidities between abiraterone and enzalutamide groups. We extracted data about expenses and comorbidities for patients who have mCRPC, received abiraterone and enzalutamide and met pre-examination operation criteria between September 2016 and December 2017 from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database. A total of 1153 patients with mCRPC who received abiraterone (n = 782) or enzalutamide (n = 371) with or without previous chemotherapy were included. We used the propensity score to match confounding factors, including age, pre-existing comorbidities, and precipitating factors for comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia), to eliminate selection bias in the comparison of newly developed comorbidities. Cox regression analysis was used for overall survival. We found that enzalutamide is superior to abiraterone with regard to overall survival. Our study revealed that there is no statistically significant difference in development of new comorbidities between abiraterone and enzalutamide group. Moreover, the CCI score, rather than any single item of the CCI, was a statistically significant predictor for overall survival.

No evidence was found on the treatment sequences of androgen receptor–targeted agents in patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer. Evidence from retrospective studies, including those within a systematic review, suggests that sequential treatment of abiraterone followed by enzalutamide is more favourable than enzalutamide followed by abiraterone in improving clinical outcomes such as response rate and progression-free survival, but not overall survival, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Evidence from a retrospective study suggests that docetaxel-containing treatment sequences with androgen receptor–targeted agents may improve progression-free survival compared to sequential therapy with androgen receptor–targeted agents alone in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Evidence from a retrospective study did not reveal differences in clinical outcomes of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with sequential androgen receptor–targeted agents with or without interposed chemotherapy or radium-223. These findings were in line with those observed in a 2019 CADTH report.1 However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to low-quality evidence. No comparative cost-effectiveness studies were identified.
