Cytokine Profiling

Circulating lipids or cytokines are associated with prognosis in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study aimed to understand the interactions between lipid metabolism and immune response in mCRPC by investigating the relationship between the plasma lipidome and cytokines. Plasma samples from two independent cohorts of men with mCRPC (n = 146, 139) having life-prolonging treatments were subjected to lipidomic and cytokine profiling (290, 763 lipids; 40 cytokines). Higher baseline levels of sphingolipids, including ceramides, were consistently associated with shorter overall survival in both cohorts, whereas the associations of cytokines with overall survival were inconsistent. Increasing levels of IL6, IL8, CXCL16, MPIF1, and YKL40 correlated with increasing levels of ceramide in both cohorts. Men with a poor prognostic 3-lipid signature at baseline had a shorter time to radiographic progression (poorer treatment response) if their lipid profile at progression was similar to that at baseline, or their cytokine profile at progression differed to that at baseline. In conclusion, baseline levels of circulating lipids were more consistent as prognostic biomarkers than cytokines. The correlation between circulating ceramides and cytokines suggests the regulation of immune responses by ceramides. The association of treatment response with the change in lipid profiles warrants further research into metabolic interventions.

The Relationship

39 Background: Abiraterone, the active metabolite of abiraterone acetate (AA), is an effective androgen biosynthesis inhibitor for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We conducted a sequential exposure-biomarker-survival modeling analysis to explore the relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics and overall survival (OS) and to establish the exposure response for PSA kinetics and OS in chemotherapy-naïve and -pretreated patients with mCRPC following AA administration. Methods: The exposure-PSA-survival modeling framework was based on two phase III studies, COU-AA-301 (chemotherapy-pretreated, N = 1184) and COU-AA-302 (chemotherapy-naïve, N = 1081), and included a mixed-effects tumor growth inhibition (TGI) model to describe PSA dynamics in response to AA and a Cox proportional hazards survival model to evaluate the relationship between relative risk of death and PSA dynamic end points. Results: The TGI model best described the longitudinal PSA dynamics following AA treatment. Abiraterone exposure significantly increased PSA decay rate (maximum effect of 2.72, p < 0.0001). The estimated concentration for 50% of the maximum effect (EC50) was 4.75 ng/mL. The abiraterone effect on PSA kinetics was similar in chemotherapy-naïve and -pretreated subjects, and approximately 90% of subjects had a steady-state concentration greater than the EC50. All model-predicted PSA metrics were strongly associated with OS in both populations; model-based post-treatment PSA doubling time showed the strongest association (hazard ratios approximately 0.9 in both populations). Simulations showed that the modeling framework could accurately predict the survival outcome for both studies. Conclusions: The analysis revealed a similar effect of abiraterone on PSA kinetics and association between PSA kinetics and OS in chemotherapy-naïve and -pretreated subjects, providing additional evidence for surrogacy of PSA kinetics and the use of PSA end points to indicate clinical benefit of abiraterone in subjects with mCRPC regardless of prior chemotherapy. Furthermore, the study confirmed that the recommended 1,000 mg/d dose of AA leads to adequate clinical exposure above the effective level. Clinical trial information: NCT00638690, NCT00887198.

TPS5091 Background: The median overall survival for patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is short. Available agents may offer limited therapeutic benefit, but no molecularly stratified treatment has yet been approved for this heterogeneous disease. A sizable percentage of pts with mCRPC has loss of function aberrations in genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR) in tumor tissue, such as BRCA1/2 and ATM. These aberrations can confer sensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. A Phase II study indicated that the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib (Lynparza) had antitumor activity in 33% of mCRPC pts who had progressed after new hormonal agent (NHA) treatment and chemotherapy, with a strikingly higher composite response rate in pts with a deleterious HRR gene aberration (HRRa) (88%; 14/16) vs pts without a HRRa (6%; 2/33) (Mateo et al.2015). The PROfound study evaluates olaparib efficacy and safety versus physician’s choice of either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide, in pts with mCRPC and a HRRa (NCT02987543). Methods: To be eligible for this multinational, open-label, Phase III study, mCRPC pts must have progressed on prior NHA treatment and have a tumor HRRa in one of 15 genes, as confirmed by an HRR Assay (Foundation Medicine, Inc.). Cohort A (n = 240 approx) includes pts with mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 or ATM, while pts with a mutation in 12 other HRR genes will be assigned to Cohort B (n = 100 approx). Pts will be randomized (2:1) to olaparib tablets (300 mg orally bid) or physician’s choice of either enzalutamide (160 mg orally od) or abiraterone acetate (1000 mg orally od with 5 mg bid prednisone) and treatment continued until radiographic progression (as assessed by blinded independent central review) or lack of treatment tolerability. The primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) will be assessed in Cohort A using RECIST 1.1 (soft tissue) and PCWG3 (bone) criteria. Key secondary efficacy endpoints include confirmed objective response rate, time to pain progression, overall survival (all Cohort A) and rPFS (both cohorts combined). Clinical trial information: NCT02987543.

303 Background: Abiraterone acetate (a prodrug of abiraterone, which is a selective inhibitor of androgen biosynthesis) combined with prednisone/prednisolone (AA+P) and enzalutamide (ENZ) (an androgen-receptor–signalling inhibitor) have proven survival benefit in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in chemo naïve and prior chemo patients. There have been no studies directly comparing the effectiveness of ENZ to AA+P in mCRPC patients. Methods: A retrospective, survival analysis study of 143 real world mCRPC patients (90 in AA+P and 53 in ENZ group) was conducted. Patients who started their treatment between 1st February 2012 and 31st May 2016 were included. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS). Data was analysed using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for covariates: prior radical or palliative treatment; Gleason score; baseline PSA; age; and chemo naïve or not. Results: After median follow up of 15 months (IQR 7 to 23) 112 events of biochemical progression were observed (71 in AA+P and 41 in ENZ). 41%in AA+P group and 30% patients in ENZ group received prior chemo. The chance of biochemical progression was significantly lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (Hazard Ratio 0.54, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.82, p=0.004. There was a trend implying the chance of rPFS could be higher among ENZ patients than AA+P patients (HR 1.24, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.02, p=0.4). OS is lower among ENZ patients than AA+P patients, when adjusting for all covariates in the Cox PH model (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.41, p=0.7). 38% of ENZ patients reported fatigue compared to 16% of AA+P patients while hypertension was reported slightly more in AA+P patients than in ENZ patients. Conclusions: This study showed a statistically significant difference in biochemical progression-free survival, favouring ENZ, but no significant difference in radiographic progression-free survival or overall survival.

Background: Real-world data on chemotherapy-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone plus prednisone are limited, largely deriving from small retrospective studies. Methods: ABitude is an Italian, observational, prospective, multicenter study of mCRPC patients receiving abiraterone plus prednisone in clinical practice. Chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients were consecutively enrolled at abiraterone start (February 2016 to June 2017) and are being followed for 3 years, with evaluation approximately every 6 months. Several clinical and patients reported outcomes were examined. Results: In this second interim analysis, among 481 enrolled patients, 453 were evaluable for analyses. At baseline, the median age was 77 years and ~69% of patients had comorbidities (mainly cardiovascular diseases). Metastases were located mainly at bones and lymph nodes; 8.4% of patients had visceral metastases. During a median follow-up of 18 months, 1- and 2-year probability of radiographic progression-free survival were 73.9% and 56.2%, respectively; the corresponding rates for overall survival were 87.3% and 70.4%. In multivariable analyses, the number of bone metastases significantly affected radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival. During abiraterone plus prednisone treatment, 65% of patients had a ⩾50% prostate-specific antigen decline, and quality of life remained appreciably high. Among symptomatic patients according to the Brief Pain Inventory) (32%), scores significantly declined after 6 months of treatment. Overall, eight patients (1.7%) had serious adverse reactions to abiraterone. Conclusions: Abiraterone plus prednisone is effective and safe for chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients in clinical practice.

Recent Advances

Until recently, continuing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and closely monitoring patients until evolution towards metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) were recommended in men with non-metastatic CRPC (nmCRPC). Because delaying the development of metastases and symptoms in these patients is a major issue, several trials have investigated next-generation androgen receptor (AR) axis inhibitors such as apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide in this setting. This review summarizes the recent advances in the management of nmCRPC, highlighting the favourable impact of next-generation AR inhibitors on metastases-free survival, overall survival and other clinically meaningful endpoints.
