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.

126 Background: Although abiraterone acetate (AA), a CYP17 inhibitor, increases survival in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), tumors eventually progress on therapy. The primary purpose of this study was to identify mechanisms of resistance to AA via analysis of the androgen receptor signaling pathway in serial tumor biopsies of men receiving AA and dutasteride (DUT), a type I and II 5-α reductase inhibitor. In this analysis, we report secondary endpoints including prostate specific antigen (PSA) response, toxicity, and incidence of flare. Methods: We enrolled 40 men with mCRPC. Patients initially received AA (1,000 mg daily) and prednisone (5 mg daily). After two months (mos), DUT (3.5 mg daily) was added. Therapy was continued until radiographic progression. A flare was recorded on bone scan, CT, or both if there were worsening lesions from baseline to 3 mos, decreasing PSA more than 50% from baseline at 3 mos, and stabilization or reduction of lesions at 6 mos. Results: Median follow-up was 13 mos. At the time of analysis, nine men remain on treatment. Twenty five percent and 18% of men received prior therapy with ketoconazole and/or chemotherapy, respectively. The median PSA at baseline was 28.8 ng/mL. After 2 mos of AA, median PSA declined by 54% to 10.9 ng/mL. Median PSA nadir was 6.3 ng/mL, reached at a median of 3.2 mos from baseline. 34 men (85%) experienced some degree of PSA decline. Twenty four men (60%) had a greater than or equal to 50% PSA decline and 12 (30%) had a greater than or equal to 90% PSA decline, reached at a median of 1.4 and 2.4 mos from baseline, respectively. There were 73% grade 1, 23% grade 2, 4% grade 3, and no grade 4 adverse events (AEs).AEs of interest included fatigue (45%), hypertension (38%, n=2 grade 3), hypokalemia (15%, n=0 grade 3), liver function test increases (15%), and edema (2%, n=0 grade 3). Seventeen men had imaging available for analysis, of whom four (23%) had flare on both 3 mos CT and bone scan and four (23%) had flare on only 3 mos CT scan. Conclusions: Given time of median PSA nadir, DUT may enhance efficacy of AA, though this warrants further investigation. Therapy with AA, prednisone (5 mg daily), and DUT is well tolerated with low rates of severe mineralocorticoid toxicity. Flare is seen on imaging in 47% of patients receiving AA. Biopsy data evaluating mechanisms for resistance to AA are not yet available. Clinical trial information: NCT01393730.
