e16513 Background: The prognosis of castration-resistant prostate cancer with skeletal metastasis (CRPCSM) is poor. The ALSYMPCA trial led to the approval of radium-223 (Ra223) in such patients. Factors that could predict hematologic toxicities associated with Ra223 remain poorly defined. We analyzed the utility of bone scan index (BSI) at baseline (BSI-B) as a predictive marker for such toxicities. Methods: This is a retrospective study of CRPCSM patients without visceral metastasis who received Ra223 at Roswell Park Cancer Institute from 2013 to 2015. BSI was defined utilizing the estimation of a numerical index (max, 70.8% for diffuse skeletal involvement) that expresses the fractional involvement of each bone by tumor. BSI-B values were classified into < first quartile ( < Q1), between first and third quartile (Q1-Q3), and > third quartile ( > Q3). The associations between BSI-B and different hematologic parameters [hemoglobin (Hgb), platelets (Plt), absolute neutrophil count (ANC)] over the Ra223 treatment duration were evaluated using linear mixed models. Results: A total of 79 patients were included in this analysis. The median Gleason score was 8 (range: 4-10) and the median age at first Ra223 was 71 years. Seventy percent of patients received 5 or more doses of Ra223. There was a significant association between BSI-B and Hgb (p = 0.005) and Plt (p = 0.011) levels at baseline and at all time points. The > Q3 BSI-B was associated with a greater drop in Plt from an elevated baseline with subsequent treatments of Ra223 [drop from a mean of 293.5±21.3 x109/L (n = 19) to 132.2±48.8 x109/L (n = 9) after sixth Ra223]; while such a decline was not observed for lower BSI-B (p < 0.001). The ANC decreased with each Ra223 in patients with > Q3 BSI-B but not in the ones with lower BSI-B (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Our work demonstrates that hematologic parameters at baseline and during Ra223 treatment are associated with higher BSI-B values, raising the possibility of BSI-B as a valuable tool for predicting the risk of cytopenias before initiating Ra223 in CRPCSM patients. Prospective validation is needed to confirm the utility of our findings.

216 Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone scan index (BSI) as a prognostic biomarker for overall survival (OS) among patients treated with radium-223 (Ra-223) for bone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods: We retrospectively identified 42 men who had been treated with Ra-223 for bone metastatic CRPC between 2012 and 2017 and investigated correlations between the baseline clinical factors of age, time to CRPC, previous use of docetaxel, PSA, Gleason score, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and BSI and OS by multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazard model. We also analyzed the correlations between OS and absolute BSI value or BSI change from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment. Continuous variables were classified as dichotomous. Results: The median age, PSA, and time to CRPC were 75.5 years, 42.8 ng/mL, and 11.2 months, respectively. The median observation period was 11.7 months. Twenty-five (59.5 %) of the 42 patients had completed six cycles of Ra-223 treatment. Twenty-two patients (52.4 %) had died, including 20 (47.6 %) of cancer, by the time of analysis. The median OS in the entire cohort was 20.7 months. Multivariate analysis also showed that only BSI (≥1.5 vs. < 1.5, HR 3.72, 95% CI 1.17–11.79, p = 0.026) was significantly correlated with OS. The BSI had decreased in 16 (51.6%) of the 31 patients who had undergone bone scans after 12 weeks of treatment . Multivariate analysis showed that absolute BSI value after 12 weeks treatment was significantly correlated with OS (BSI (≥2.0 vs. < 2.0%, HR 13.07, 95% CI 2.61–65.53, p = 0.002). No correlation was found between BSI change from baseline after 12 weeks and OS. Conclusions: According to multivariate analysis, both baseline BSI and PSA were significant prognostic factors for OS among men treated with Ra-223. Absolute BSI value after 12 weeks of Ra-223 treatment was also found to be an independent prognostic factor for OS.

e596 Background: It was ambiguous till now to evaluate the change of bone metastasis by various treatments. To quantify the change of bone metastases by enzalutamide, abiraterone, and docetaxel for the castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with bone metastases (bmCRPC), we employed Bone Scan Index (BSI) on bone scintigraphy. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the change of PSA and bone metastases of CRPC patients who were treated with enzalutamide (Enz), abiraterone (Abi) and/or docetaxel (DOC) in our hospital. All patients underwent Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy. The degree of bone metastases was analyzed using BSI, which was calculated by BONENAVI (FUJIFILM RI Pharma, Japan; EXINIbone, EXINI Diagnostics, Sweden). 19 patients were treated with enzalutamide (8 cases: pre-docetaxel, 11 cases: post-docetaxel). The median PSA of patients treated with Enz was 12.64 ng/ml (1.63-199 ng/ml). And 11 patients were treated with abiraterone (5 cases: pre-docetaxel, 6 cases: post-docetaxel). The median PSA of patients treated with Abi was 26.37 ng/ml (2.29-199 ng/ml). Results: We observed decline of PSA in 18/30 cases (9 cases: pre-DOC, 9 cases: post-DOC). Decline of PSA to 50% or more was observed in 14 cases. In contrast, decline of BSI was observed in 53.3% (16/30) cases and decline of PSA to 25% or more was observed in only 6 cases. BSI decreased in 84.6% (11/13) of pre-DOC setting and in 29.4% (5/17) of post-DOC setting indicating that change of BSI was poor in post-DOC setting. However, DOC had already decreased BSI in 91.7% (11/12) before Abi or Enz treatment. Moreover, the average rate of BSI decline in the patients that BSI decreased by DOC was better than the patients that BSI decreased by Abi/Enz (-48.46% vs -28.56%). Finally, although the rate of BSI change by Enz was weakly correlated with the rate of PSA decline (y = 0.3906x + 25.35, R2 = 0.3423), BSI continued to increase in four cases in spite of PSA decline. Conclusions: BSI using BONENAVI on bone scintigraphy was helpful for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment and following-up of bmCRPC.

Purpose There is currently no imaging biomarker for metastatic prostate cancer. The bone scan index (BSI) is a promising candidate, being a reproducible, quantitative expression of tumor burden seen on bone scintigraphy. Prior studies have shown the prognostic value of a baseline BSI. This study tested whether treatment-related changes in BSI are prognostic for survival and compared BSI to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as an outcome measure. Patients and Methods We retrospectively examined serial bone scans from patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRMPC) enrolled in four clinical trials. We calculated BSI at baseline and at 3 and 6 months on treatment and performed univariate and bivariate analyses of PSA, BSI, and survival. Results Eighty-eight patients were scanned, 81 of whom have died. In the univariate analysis, the log percent change in BSI from baseline to 3 and 6 months on treatment prognosticated for survival (hazard ratio [HR], 2.44; P = .0089 and HR, 2.54; P < .001, respectively). A doubling in BSI resulted in a 1.9-fold increase in risk of death. Log percent change in PSA at 6 months on treatment was also associated with survival (HR, 1.298; P = .013). In the bivariate analysis, change in BSI while adjusting for PSA was prognostic at 3 and 6 months on treatment (HR, 2.368; P = .012 and HR, 2.226; P = .002, respectively), but while adjusting for BSI, PSA was not prognostic. Conclusion These data furnish early evidence that on-treatment changes in BSI are a response indicator and support further exploration of bone scintigraphy as an imaging biomarker in CRMPC.
