261 Background: AA is approved for mCRPC, coadministered with prednisone (P) (5 mg BID) to prevent adverse events (AEs) associated with mineralocorticoid excess (ME). Lower GC doses had not previously been formally evaluated in combination with AA. Methods: This was an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 trial (NCT01867710) of asymptomatic chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC pts randomized 1:1:1:1 to AA (1000 mg QD) plus P 5 mg BID or P 5 mg QD or P 2.5 mg BID or dexamethasone (DEX) 0.5 mg QD. Pts who had previously received GC or ketoconazole were excluded. The primary end point was no ME (% of pts experiencing neither hypokalemia nor hypertension during the first 24 weeks of treatment).Secondary end points included additional safety, as well as response rate in the first 24 weeks, defined as a decline in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 50% confirmed after 4 weeks. Results: 164 pts were randomized; 133 (81.6%) completed 24 weeks’ treatment. Median age: 70 years. Table 1 shows the rates of ME, hypertension, hypokalemia and PSA response. Changes in HbA1c values were minimal and observed in 16 (10.7%) pts. Conclusions: These data suggest that P 5 mg BID, which is approved in combination with AA, and DEX 0.5 mg QD, are effective in preventing ME-associated AEs, and that P 2.5 mg BID and P 5 mg QD can be safely used with appropriate monitoring. The suggestion of a higher PSA response rate with DEX 0.5 mg QD arm warrants further validation. Clinical trial information: NCT01867710. [Table: see text]

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.

205 Background: D and AA may have complementary mechanisms of action; coadministration may be beneficial. A phase Ib study assesses the safety of escalating doses of D + AA. Methods: Up to4 cohorts (C) of chemo-naïve mCRPC pts would receive D + AA. Data for C1 and C2 are presented. Primary end point: proportion of pts with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) between Wks 2 and 7, defined as grade (Gr) ≥ 3 non-heme toxicity, Gr 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 500/mm3) > 7 days (or febrile neutropenia), Gr 4 thrombocytopenia, or other intolerable toxicity. D + AA was deemed safe if ≤ 33% of pts experienced DLT. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were evaluated for D and AA alone and in combination. Results: 15 pts were treated and 6 pts/C were evaluable for DLT assessment. 2 DLTs were observed in C1, and 1 in C2. 73% and 87% of pts had confirmed ≥ 90% and ≥ 50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline, respectively. Median time to PSA progression has not yet been reached. Systemic exposure, based on maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration–time curve [(AUC)∞ for D, AUC24 for abiraterone (ABI)], was comparable for both D and AA alone and for D + AA. 3 pts in C3 (D 75 mg/m2+ AA 1000 mg) have been treated past Wk 7 without DLT. Conclusions: D + AA was well tolerated in the cohorts tested. Preliminary results justify further evaluation of safety and efficacy in additional Cs. Clinical trial information: NCT01400555.

e16514 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA) prolongs survival in men with mCRPC in the pre- and post chemotherapy setting and is mainly used in asymptomatic men. In the first 12 weeks an early rise of prostate specific antigen (PSA) may occur followed by either delayed decline (PSA-flare) or true progression. Bouncing of alkaline phosphatase (ALP-Bouncing) was shown to be a promising marker for outcome and response during very early AA therapy. This retrospective study was conducted to analyze the capability of ALP-Bouncing to predict overall survival (OS) in men with bone mCRPC (bmCRPC) with rising PSA after initiation of AA therapy. Methods: Men with bmCRPC and rising PSA during early AA therapy were includeded and analyzed. PSA response rate (RR) was monitored according to PCWG2 criteria and assessed 12 weeks after start of AA treatment. PSA-flare vs. no flare and ALP-Bouncing vs. no Bouncing were analyzed using Kaplan-Meyer estimates and uni- and multivariate (UV/MV) cox-regression models. ALP-Bouncing was defined as increase of ALP after the beginning of AA with a subsequent significant decline below baseline during the first 8 weeks of therapy. Results: Forty men were evaluable for analysis: 20 men were chemotherapy naïve, 20 pretreated with docetaxel. The PSA RR was 30%. The median survival for ALP-Bouncing was 20 months (95% confidence interval (95%CI): 4.7-13.3) vs. 9 months (95%CI not distinguishable) for no ALP-bouncing (p = 0.04) and 13 months (95%CI: 8.8-17.2) for PSA-flare vs. 9 months (95%CI 4.4-13-6) for no PSA-flare (p = 0.62). In UV no ALP-bouncing was significantly associated with worse OS (Hazard Ratio (HR): 2.65 (95%CI: 1.0-7.0); p = 0.05). After adjustment for PSA-flare no AP-bouncing remained an independent prognosticator of worse OS (HR: 2.78 (95%CI: 1.0-7.71); p = 0.05). Conclusions: ALP-Bouncing, occurring earlier than delayed PSA-decline, may be a helpful marker to identify patients with subsequent favorable outcome in men with bmCRPC and rising PSA after initiation of AA therapy. These results have to be validated in a prospective trial.

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.

308 Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic implications of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at baseline and after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment with abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 102 mCRPC treated with abiraterone either pre- or post-chemotherapy between November 2012 and October 2017 in three institutions. We calculated NLR and PLR at baseline and at 4 and 12 weeks after initiation of abiraterone, and we evaluated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response every 4 weeks. Fifty patients (49%) were treated with abiraterone post-docetaxel, and 52 patients (51%) received abiraterone pre-chemotherapy. Based on receiver operating characteristic analysis, patients were stratified as low NLR ( < 3.1) or high NLR (≥ 3.1), and low PLR ( < 163) or high PLR (≥ 163). The cutoff for anemia was < 12g/dL. Results: Median follow-up times for patients overall and for those who survived were 24.0 months (range, 0.3 – 54.9 months) and 25.5 months (range, 2.8 – 54.9 months), respectively. The median time of abiraterone treatment was 8.1 months (range, 2.4 – 40.1 months). The median overall survival (OS) was 20.8 months (interquartile range: 17.3–24.4). In univariate analysis, NLR, PLR, PSA response, and low hemoglobin (Hgb) were found significantly predictive of OS and progression-free survival (PFS). In multivariate analysis, declines in NLR and PSA of ≥ 90% emerged as significant independent predictors of OS and PFS. High-NLR patients who remained high or who returned to low NLR after 4 and 12 weeks showed significantly worse OS than patients with low baseline NLR. Patients with baseline Hgb > 12 g/dL had significantly longer median OS compared with patients with Hgb ≤ 12 g/dL; however, the significance of Hgb was lost at 12 weeks. Conclusions: NLR and PSA response to abiraterone was a significant predictor of OS and PFS in mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone delivered either pre- or post-chemotherapy. Furthermore, persistent increase in NLR during abiraterone has prognostic value for OS in patients with mCRPC.

TPS328 Background: Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have a BRCA1/2 mutation ( BRCA1/2mut) or mutations in other HRD genes have a poor prognosis. The EPIC liquid biopsy test is a novel assay that can identify circulating tumor cells (CTC) with HRD associated phenotypes. Preliminary studies have shown that these men may respond to treatment with a PARP inhibitor. Pamiparib is an investigational PARP1/2 inhibitor that has shown brain penetration and potent PARP–DNA complex trapping in nonclinical studies. In early phase clinical studies (NCT02361723; NCT03333915), pamiparib was generally well tolerated and showed preliminary antitumor activity; 60 mg orally twice daily (BID) was established as the recommended investigational dose. Methods: This open-label, global, phase 2 study (NCT03712930) will evaluate antitumor activity and safety of pamiparib in mCRPC pts with CTC-HRD, assessed by the EPIC CTC-HRD assay, or deleterious germline/somatic BRCA1/2mut status. Patients must have progressed on/after ≥1 androgen receptor-targeted therapy, have received ≥1 taxane-based therapy, and have prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression per PCWG3 criteria. Four cohorts of patients will receive pamiparib 60 mg BID in 28-day cycles. Cohort 1 will include ~50 pts with CTC-HRD+ +/- BRCA1/2mut mCRPC with measurable metastatic disease; Cohort 2 will include ~30 pts with CTC-HRD+ +/- BRCA1/2mut mCRPC with bone-only disease; Cohorts 3 & 4 will include ~20 pts with CTC-HRD-/unknown + BRCA1/2mut mCRPC with measurable metastatic disease (Cohort 3), or bone-only disease (Cohort 4). Disease status will be assessed every 8 wks for 24 wks, then every 12 wks; PSA levels will be tested every 4 wks. Co-primary endpoints are radiographic ORR assessed by IRC (pts with measurable disease) and confirmed PSA response rate per PCWG3 criteria (pts +/- measurable disease). Secondary endpoints include ORR, time to PSA response/progression, duration of PSA response, time to symptomatic skeletal event, radiographic progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Clinical trial information: NCT03712930.

TPS5089 Background: Approved treatments for mCRPC (eg, enzalutamide and docetaxel) may increase programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and facilitate neoantigen release. In phase 1b and 1/2 trials, pembro, an anti–PD-1 antibody, has produced antitumor responses in previously treated mCRPC as monotherapy and in combination with enzalutamide. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, has shown activity in mCRPC with DNA-repair defects. The nonrandomized, multicohort, open-label KEYNOTE-365 study (NCT02861573) will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembro with olaparib (cohort A), docetaxel + prednisone (cohort B), or enzalutamide (cohort C) in mCRPC. Methods: Cohort allocation depends upon prior treatment: cohort A requires prior docetaxel (treatment with 1 other chemotherapy and ≤2 second-generation hormonal manipulations is allowed); cohort B requires prior abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide (but not both); cohort C requires prior abiraterone acetate. Additional eligibility criteria include confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma, disease progression (PD) ≤6 months before screening, ongoing androgen deprivation (serum testosterone < 50 ng/dL), and provision of nonirradiated tumor sample. Pembro 200 mg will be given every 3 weeks (Q3W) with either olaparib 400 mg twice daily (cohort A), docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Q3W + prednisone 5 mg twice daily (cohort B), or enzalutamide 160 mg once daily (cohort C). Pembro treatment will continue for up to 35 cycles or until PD or unacceptable adverse events (AEs). Patients in cohort B may receive a maximum of 10 cycles of docetaxel + prednisone. Patients who discontinue 1 of 2 drugs in a combination because of a treatment-related AE may continue to receive the other drug until PD. Response will be evaluated by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels Q3W and by imaging Q9W for the first year and Q12W thereafter. Primary end points are safety and PSA response rate (decline of ≥50% from baseline twice ≥3 weeks apart). Secondary end points include time to PSA progression, progression-free survival, overall survival, and overall response rate. Enrollment will continue until 70 patients are enrolled for each cohort. Clinical trial information: NCT02861573.

358 Background: Abiraterone acetate (AA), a CYP17A1 inhibitor, has been approved in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Germline polymorphisms in genes involved in androgen biosynthesis or transport may influence response and survival in this setting. Methods: ABIGENE is a multicentric prospective non-randomized pharmacogenetic study (NCT01858441). The primary objective was to investigate the association between 13 SNPs in genes related to AA pharmacology (CYP17A1, SLCO2B1 and SLCO2B3) and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), according to PCWG2 criteria, in pts with mCRPC treated with first-line AA + prednisone. The main secondary objectives were to evaluate the impact of these SNPs on radiographic and PSA response, overall survival (OS) and toxicity. SNPs were detected in blood samples before starting AA and analyzed by pyrosequencing or PCR-RFLP methods. Kaplan-Meyer’s curves with log-rank tests and cox regression models were used to identify relationships between SNPs and survival. Chi2 tests and student t-tests were used to identify association with response rate and toxicity. Results: 147 pts in 17 french centers were included between 2013 and 2017. Here are presented the results for the first 109 pts. The median follow-up was 28.7 months. Overall response rate (ORR) was 17%, and 74% pts had stable disease as the best response. Median rPFS was 10.9 months (95% CI 9.2-15.3). One SNP (rs10883782) in CYP17A1 was associated with rPFS on AA therapy (Table). Two other SNPs in CYP17A1 (rs4919683) and SLCO2B1 (rs1077858) were significantly associated with radiographic response. Data on PSA response, OS and toxicity will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: This is the first prospective dedicated study to show an association between SNPs related to androgen metabolism and clinical outcome in mCRPC treated with AA. Clinical trial information: NCT01858441. [Table: see text]

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety between abiraterone and enzalutamide in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods: We systematically searched for relevant articles from PubMed, Cochrane, Embase from their inception through November 4, 2019. Available articles from conferences were searched. The endpoints were prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), number of patients with any adverse event (AE). Results: 15 cohort studies involving 3546 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled result showed that PSA response rate in the enzalutamide group was significantly greater than that in the abiraterone group (867 patients, risk ratio (RR) 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.61-0.79, p<0.00001, I2=29%). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of AEs between two groups (730 patients, RR 0.42, 95% CI 0.14-1.31, p = 0.14, I2=84%). The common adverse events observed in the published articles were fatigue and perceived cognitive impairments. Patients who received enzalutamide had the higher risk to have the feeling of fatigue compared with abiraterone group (2555 patients, RR 0.45, 95% CI 0.24-0.85, p=0.01, I2=92%). And there was no statistical difference between two groups respect to the side effect of perceived cognitive impairments (1856 patients, RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.47-1.88, p=0.85, I2=15%). Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that enzalutamide was associated with higher PSA response rate compared to abiraterone in patients with mCRPC, and no significant difference was found between two groups in the overall AE. But enzalutamide use induced higher risk of the AE of fatigue.

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.
