Method Approach

We examined the comparative efficacies of first-line abiraterone and enzalutamide in pre- and postdocetaxel settings in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) through a trial level meta-analysis. A mixed method approach was applied to 19 unique studies containing 17 median overall survival (OS) estimates and 13 median radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) estimates. We employed a random-effects meta-analysis to compare efficacies of abiraterone and enzalutamide with respect to OS and PFS. In the predocetaxel setting, enzalutamide use was associated with an increase in median OS of 5.9 months (p<0.001), hazard ratio (HR) = 0.81, and an increase in median PFS of 8.3 months (p<0.001), HR = 0.47 compared to abiraterone. The advantage of enzalutamide improved after adjusting for baseline Gleason score to 19.5 months (p<0.001) and 14.6 months (p<0.001) in median OS and PFS, respectively. In the postdocetaxel setting, the advantage of enzalutamide use was nominally significant for median PFS (1.2 months p=0.02 without adjustment and 2.2 months and p=0.0007 after adjustment); there was no significant difference in median OS between the two agents. The results from this comprehensive meta-analysis suggest a survival advantage with the use of first-line enzalutamide over abiraterone in CRPC and highlight the need for prospective clinical trials.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to reveal the prognostic values of prior local therapy in first-line therapy using androgen receptor-axis targeting agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Methods The study included 303 patients treated with first-line therapy for non-metastatic and metastatic CRPC. The association between prior local therapy and therapeutic outcome including progression-free survival and overall survival was investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses as well as propensity score-matched analysis. Results In univariate analysis, local prior therapy was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 0.56, 95% confidence interval, 0.40–0.79; P = 0.0009). Overall survival, but not progression-free survival, was better among patients with prior local therapy compared with patients without prior local therapy even after multivariate analysis and propensity score-matched analysis. Conclusions This study robustly indicated that prior local treatment was prognostic for overall survival among patients with CRPC. This finding is useful to predict patient prognosis in CRPC.

133 Background: Abiraterone is the first-line treatment for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and is recommended to be used with prednisone. Previous studies had demonstrated that the switch from prednisone to dexamethasone in some mCRPC patients can reverse abiraterone-resistance. However, it remains uncertain which group of patients will benefit from such switching. AKR1C3 is a critical enzyme contributing to the drug-resistance of abiraterone. Here, we aim to explore the significance of AKR1C3 in predicting the therapeutic efficacy of the corticosteroid switching in mCRPC patients receiving abiraterone. Methods: In total, 43 PCa patients treated with abiraterone after mCRPC between 2016 and 2018 in our institution were included. After biochemical progression in abiraterone plus prednisone, all cases received a corticosteroid switch to abiraterone plus dexamethasone. The expression of AKR1C3 was detected by immunohistochemical staining from re-biopsy (re‐Bx) of primary prostate lesions at the time of mCRPC. Kaplan‐Meier curves were used to analyze the association between AKR1C3 and treatment outcomes. Results: Totally, AKR1C3 was positive in 19 of 43 (44.19%) cases. In the corticosteroid switch treatment, 30% PSA decline was confirmed in 18/43 (41.86%) patients, while the median PSA progression‐free survival (PSA-PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 4.93 Mo and 31.57 Mo, respectively in the whole cohort. AKR1C3 expression was associated with statistically shorter median PSA-PFS (4.50 Mo vs 7.73 Mo; p =0.010) and numerically lower median OS (25.43 Mo vs 39.37 Mo, p =0.274). While the 30% PSA decline rate was numerically comparable between those with and without AKR1C3 expression (31.6% vs 50.0%, p =0.224). Conclusions: This study showed AKR1C3 detection in tissues from prostate re‐Bx at mCRPC was associated with poor PSA-PFS in the corticosteroid switch from abiraterone plus prednisone to abiraterone plus dexamethasone. These results would be helpful in making optimal personalized treatment decisions for patients with mCRPC, facilitating physicians predicting the effectiveness of corticosteroid switch treatment.

Abstract BackgroundTo explore whether patients with distinct intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) subtypes respond differently to standard first-line therapy among patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data of 170 mCRPC patients receiving abiraterone (ABI) or docetaxel (DOC) as first-line therapy between 2014 and 2019. PSA response, PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed and compared based on the presence of IDC-P and its sub-patterns.ResultsTotally, IDC-P was confirmed in 91/170 (53.5%) patients. Among them, 36/91 (39.6%) and 55/91 (60.4%) harbored IDC-P pattern 1 and pattern 2, respectively. The presence of IDC-P was confirmed to be associated with poor prognosis in the whole cohort. Patients with IDC-P pattern 1 shared similar clinical outcomes to those without IDC-P in both ABI and DOC treatment. However, compared to patients with IDC-P pattern 1 and without IDC-P, IDC-P pattern 2 had markedly poorer prognosis in either ABI (PSA-PFS: P<0.001; rPFS: P<0.001) or DOC (PSA-PFS: P<0.001; rPFS: P<0.001) treatment. For patients without IDC-P, DOC had comparable therapeutic efficacy with ABI. In contrast, the therapeutic efficacy of DOC in patients with either IDCP pattern 1 (PSA-PFS: P=0.021; rPFS: P=0.027) or pattern 2 (PSA-PFS: P=0.003; rPFS: P=0.007) was significantly inferior to ABI.ConclusionCompared to DOC, ABI exhibited better efficacy in patients with IDC-P of either pattern. However, IDC-P pattern 2 still responded unsatisfactorily to either ABI or DOC therapy. Novel therapeutic strategies appropriate for IDC-P pattern 2 need to be further investigated in the future.

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.

239 Background: The sequence of use of life-prolonging therapy (docetaxel, abiraterone, enzalutamide, and cabazitaxel) is unclear in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Methods: We retrospectively identified a total of 316 patients diagnosed with CRPC from September 2003 to April 2019 at Nagoya University and its affiliated hospitals. All patients were treated with >2 life-prolonging therapies. We divided these patients into four groups based on the sequence of drug administration. The group of patients who were treated using the sequence of abiraterone to enzalutamide or enzalutamide to abiraterone was termed as AA. The group treated using the sequence of abiraterone or enzalutamide to docetaxel was termed as AD. The group treated using the sequence of docetaxel to abiraterone or enzalutamide was termed as DA. Lastly, the group treated using the sequence of docetaxel to cabazitaxel was termed as DC. We investigated the overall survival (OS) from the time of diagnosis of CRPC. In addition, we estimated combined progression-free survival (combined PFS) defined as the sum of the PFS of each agent. Results: The number of patients in AA, AD, DA, and DC was 106, 69, 130, and 11, respectively. Regarding AA, AD, DA, and DC, the median ages were 72, 70, 68, and 64 years, respectively. The proportion of patients who had de novo distant metastasis was 66%, 65%, 58%, and 73% in AA, AD, DA, and DC, respectively. Further, the median OS was 68.7, 54.5, 68.6, and 22.0 months for AA, AD, DA, and DC, respectively. Notably, no significant differences related to OS were observed between AA and AD ( p = 0.06), AA and DA ( p = 0.24), as well as AD and DA ( p = 0.46). The median combined PFS was 8.6, 10.1, 13.9, and 5.6 months for AA, AD, DA, and DC, respectively. In terms of combined PFS, a significant difference was observed between AA and DA ( p < 0.001) as well as AD and DA ( p = 0.003). OS and combined PFS were significantly poor in DC compared with those in the other groups. Conclusions: No significant differences related to OS were observed regarding the sequence of use of docetaxel, abiraterone, and enzalutamide. Notably, combined PFS was comparatively better in DA than in any other group.

Background: There is emerging evidence that radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) is highly correlated with overall survival (OS), potentially serving as an indicator of treatment outcome for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The objective of this study is to assess rPFS and prostate specific antigen (PSA) response in sequential treatment using androgen signaling inhibitors (ASIs) including abiraterone and enzalutamide in newly diagnosed CRPC. Methods: Propensity score matching was performed to reduce bias by confounding factors between first-line ASIs. The primary endpoints of the study included rPFS, time to PSA progression (TTPP), and PSA response. Results: A paired-matched group of 184 patients were identified. From the initiation of first-line ASIs, there was no significant difference in rPFS, TTPP, and PSA response between treatment arms. From the initiation of second-line ASIs, enzalutamide following abiraterone consistently exhibited longer rPFS (median: 7 and 15 months, p = 0.04), TTPP, and better PSA response compared to the reverse, whereas OS did not reach significance (median: 14 and 23 months, p = 0.35). Conclusion: Although the effect of ASIs as the first line was similar, the extent of cross-resistance might differ towards less resistance in enzalutamide following abiraterone than the reverse.

196 Background: Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3) has been proved to be an important part in the androgen biosynthesis process. Previous researches have showed that immunohistochemical (IHC) AKR1C3 expression is a prognosticator in prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with abiraterone. This study is to find out the relationship between exosomal AKR1C3 mRNA expression and the efficacy of abiraterone in metastatic PCa patients. Methods: Blood samples of metastatic prostate cancer patients during different disease stages were collected. We isolated the exosomes and extracted the RNA for analysis of AKR1C3 by ddPCR. Absolute target mRNA concentration was measured by ddPCR as copies per milliliter (copies/20ul). Clinical data were collected for all patients. Primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 25.0. Results: Exosomal AKR1C3 mRNA expression was positive in 71.9% (41/57) patients, and high expression (defined as ≥ 20 copies/20μl) was found in 12.3% (7/57) patients. High exosomal AKR1C3 mRNA expression was not related to positive IHC AKR1C3 expression ( P=0.723). Patients with high exosomal AKR1C3 expression and negative IHC AKR1C3 expression harbored only 4.866 months’ median progression-free survival (PFS) compared with the whole cohort (9.37 months). High exosomal AKR1C3 expression is significantly associated with shorter PFS (median PFS 8.036 months, p<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that high exosomal AKR1C3 expression was an independent prognosticator of abiraterone treatment efficacy (OR: 8.891, 95%CI: 1.309-61.631, P=0.026). In subsequently subgroup analyses, high exosomal AKR1C3 expression demonstrates particularly high hazard ratio in multiple subgroups (patients with baseline PSA >100 ng/mL, ALP >71 IU/L, HGB >120 g/L, and patients receiving abiraterone as first-line therapy in castration resistant prostate cancer). Conclusions: Exosomal AKR1C3 level is an independent adverse prognosticator in metastatic PCa patients receiving abiraterone treatment, especially when abiraterone was used as first-line therapy in castration resistant prostate cancer.

Sphingosine 1 Phosphate

TPS191 Background: Opaganib (Yeliva, ABC294640) is a first-in-class, sphingosine kinase-2 (SK2) selective inhibitor, with anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities. SK2, a lipid kinase catalyzes formation of the lipid signaling molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1P promotes cancer growth, and proliferation and pathological inflammation, including inflammatory cytokine production. Specifically, by inhibiting the SK2 enzyme, opaganib blocks the synthesis of S1P which regulates fundamental biological processes such as cell proliferation, migration, immune cell trafficking and angiogenesis, and are also involved in immune-modulation and suppression of innate immune responses from T cells. Opaganib is a sphingosine-competitive inhibitor of SK2 and also inhibits dihydroceramide desaturase. Opaganib has antitumor activity against human and murine prostate cancer cell lines, and in xenograft (LNCaP) and syngeneic (MycCAP, TRAMP-C1) murine tumor models. In addition to its target effect of reducing sphingosine-1-phosphate, opaganib reduces both MYC and AR proteins through its kinase-blocking and desaturase-inhibiting properties, respectively. Methods: The study is open to patients with mCRPC who have been treated with at least one newer androgen antagonist (abiraterone or enzalutamide) and no prior chemotherapy for castration-resistant disease. Patients who are failing either abiraterone or enzalutamide may enroll, with the addition of opaganib. The trial design includes brief safety lead-in cohort 1a (abiraterone + opaganib 250 mg Q 12hr, 3/3 enrolled) and 1b (enzalutamide + opaganib 250 mg Q 12hr, 3/3 enrolled). These cohorts have been completed without any DLTs. We are now enrolling cohort 2 (abiraterone + opaganib 500 mg Q 12hr, 0/27 enrolled) and cohort 3 (enzalutamide + opaganib 500 mg Q 12hr, 8/27 enrolled). A total of 60 patients will be enrolled and response will be evaluated after 4 cycles (28 days/cycle) using a composite metric based on PSA, bone scan and RECIST measurements per PCWG3 criteria. Safety and tolerability will be monitored, and dose modifications will be allowed. Primary endpoint is disease control (stable disease or better) after 4 cycles. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, radiographic progression-free survival and PSA progression-free survival. Correlative studies include assessment of quality of life (QOL), circulating MDSCs, immune cells and clones with amplified AR or MYC. Supported by NIH grant P01 CA203628. Clinical trial information: NCT04207255.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients from the named patient programme (NPP) at our centre. Methods: mCRPC patients who progressed on docetaxel were given cabazitaxel intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred. Overall survival, progression-free survival, prostate-specific antigen response, quality of life (QOL) changes, and safety were reported. Results: Nine men received cabazitaxel (median: 7 cycles; range: 1–27) under the NPP and were followed until death. Median survival was 14.07 months (1.07–23.80) and progression-free survival was 2.67 months (1.07–20.27). QOL was stable for most patients. Common adverse events (grade ≥3) were neutropenia (n = 8), anaemia (n = 4), and leucopenia (n = 4). Conclusion: These data from 9 patients are consistent with the results reported in the TROPIC study with a manageable safety profile.
