Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) has recently gained interest as a promising tool for treatment response evaluation in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the concordance between response evaluation using PSMA PET and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level after systemic treatment and the association between PSMA PET and overall survival in metastatic CRPC patients. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases were searched until August 2020. Studies that reported the concordance between PSMA PET and PSA response were included. PSMA PET and PSA response evaluation were dichotomized into response vs. non-response to construct two-by-two contingency tables; an ≥30% increase in PSMA PET according to PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.0 and as an increase in serum PSA level of ≥25% as per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 guidelines were defined as non-response. The percent agreement rates were pooled using random-effect model. Ten studies (268 patients) were included. The concordance rates ranged 0.50–0.84 with a pooled proportion of 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.67–0.79). Patients were treated with 177Lu-PSMA therapy in five, chemotherapy in three, 223Ra in one, and more than one type in one study. Various PET parameters were used: the most widely evaluated was PSMA tumor volume (PSMA-TV). Similar proportions were found across different therapeutic agents, PET response parameters, and regarding directionality of discordance (PSA response/PSMA non-response vs. PSMA response/PSA non-response). Two studies reported that a decrease in PSMA-TV was associated with better overall survival. PSMA PET and PSA response assessments were discordant in nearly a fourth of metastatic CRPC patients. Further studies are warranted to establish the clinical meaning of this discordance and define appropriate management for such clinical situation.

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.

4554 Background: Chemotherapy with docetaxel is the standard first-line treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In patients progressing after docetaxel, both abiraterone and MDV3100 have yielded improved survival for patients with mCRPC. The efficacy of abiraterone in patients pre-treated with MDV 3100 is unknown. Methods: We investigated abiraterone-prednisone in 24 patients with cancer progression after docetaxel followed by MDV3100. All patients received abiraterone 1000 mg/day plus prednisone 10mg/day. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, symptom response, and time to progression were assessed. Results: Patient characteristics were as follows: median age: 74 years (53-84), median PSA: 108 ng/mL (2-2541), metastatic sites: bone: all 24 patients, liver/lung: 6 patients (25%), and lymph nodes : 9 patients (38%). Five patients (21%) had a PSA decrease on abiraterone-prednisone. Three patients (13%) achieved a PSA response, defined as a decrease of >50% in PSA, confirmed after≥ 4 weeks. The duration of PSA response was 2, 3 and 4.5 months. Six patients (29%) had a symptomatic response on the pain score and analgesic consumption was decreased. Treatment was well tolerated. Abiraterone-prednisone was discontinued in one patient due to edema and hypokaliemia. Conclusions: This study shows preliminary evidence that abiraterone-prednisone yields activity in patients with mCRPC pretreated with docetaxel and MDV3100.

18 Background: Enzalutamide (Enza) and abiraterone (Abi) are next generation hormonal agents for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Whether these agents can be effectively sequenced is not yet well understood. Results of retrospective analyses of Abi after prior Enza have demonstrated modest responses of brief duration, suggesting common resistance pathways. Here, we retrospectively analyze response to Enza with or without prior Abi treatment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 195 patients from seven academic centers treated with Enza between January 2009 and August 2013. Data were collected on disease characteristics, prior therapies, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values at baseline and while on treatment. Logistic regression was used to evaluate association between 30% or greater PSA decline on Enza and either prior Abi treatment or 30% or greater PSA decline on prior Abi after accounting for potential confounders. Results: One hudred eighty three patients had non-missing PSA starting and nadir values on Enza, with starting PSA median 102.0 (range 1.1–5007.0) ng/mL. Overall, 42% (76 of 183) of Enza-treated patients achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline, with 39% (58 of 150) response among prior Abi-treated patients and 55% (18 of 33) response among Abi-naïve patients. Of 79 patients who lacked significant response to prior Abi, 30% (25 of 79) achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline and 19% (15 of 79) achieved a 50% or greater PSA decline with subsequent Enza. Odds of achieving a 30% or greater PSA response on Enza was 2.3 times higher for Abi-naïve patients versus prior Abi-treated patients (95% CI 1.0–5.5, P=0.06) and 1.9 times higher for Abi-responders vs Abi-non-responders (95% CI 1.0–3.7, P=0.06) after adjusting for prior docetaxel and concurrent steroid use. Conclusions: In this multi-center retrospective study, 39% of patients achieved a 30% or greater PSA decline with Enza after prior Abi treatment. While the activity of Enza appears to be blunted in the post-Abi setting, PSA declines still occur in a meaningful proportion of patients. Notably, 30% of patients without significant response to prior Abi responded to subsequent treatment with Enza, suggesting a subset of men with distinct biological resistance pathways. Data will be updated at the time of presentation.

Abstract Background:Patients who have evidence of disease progression (eg, increase in serum prostate-specific antigen [PSA], new metastases, progression of existing metastases) while being managed with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are considered to have castration-resistant disease. Docetaxel (75 mg/m2) given every three weeks in combination with daily prednisone (5 mg twice a day) significantly prolonged overall survival compared with mitoxantrone plus prednisone in the TAX 327 phase III trial [3]. Based upon those results, docetaxel plus prednisone has become the standard initial regimen when chemotherapy is indicated for CRPC Methods: Inflammation-based markers, such as the Neutrophile/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), are widely available and inexpensive measurements that are easy to integrate into pretreatment evaluation. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of activated platelets is associated some types of cancer including ovarian, gastric cancer. We retrospectively evaluated the predictive impact of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and MPV as a marker for in men with progressive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) following docetaxel.Results: A significant correlation was not observed between NLR and PSA response. A significant correlation was not also observed between MPV and PSA response.There no correlation was found between MPV and NLR with total PSA level and response (p:0.355, p:0.673 respectively)Conclusion: . In our study; We didn’t show any correlation between MWP level, NLR ratio and response to Docetaxel therapy A significant correlation was not also observed between NLR , MPV and PSA response.

ObjectiveThe androgen receptor-targeting drugs abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide have shown positive results as treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC.MethodsWe retrieved relevant articles from PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE published before December 31, 2020. Eleven articles were initially selected, and four phase III, double-blind, randomized controlled trials of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide that involved 5199 patients with mCRPC were included. The end points were time to prostate-specific antigen progression (TTPP), according to the prostate-specific antigen working group criteria; overall survival (OS); and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).ResultsFour randomized, controlled clinical trials involving 5199 patients were included in this study. The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with placebo alone, abiraterone significantly improved OS (HR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.60-0.8, P<0.00001), rPFS (HR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.57-0.71, P < 0.00001), and TTPP (HR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.45-0.59, P < 0.00001) in patients with mCRPC. Compared with placebo, enzalutamide significantly improved OS (HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.59-0.75, P<0.00001), rPFS (HR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.29-0.37, P< 0.00001), and TTPP (HR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.17-0.22, P < 0.00001). An indirect comparison was performed to compare the efficacy of abiraterone and enzalutamide. The results showed that there was no significant difference between abiraterone and enzalutamide with regard to improving the OS of patients with mCRPC (HR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.854-1.242). Enzalutamide was superior to abiraterone with regard to improving rPFS in patients with mCRPC (HR=0.516, 95% CI: 0.438-0.608). With regard to improving TTPP, the efficacy of enzalutamide was better than that of abiraterone (HR=0.365, 95% CI: 0.303-0.441). In sAE, there was no difference between abiraterone and enzalutamide (P=0.21, I2 = 38%).ConclusionsCompared with placebo, both abiraterone and enzalutamide significantly prolonged OS, rPFS, and TTPP in patients with mCRPC. There was no difference in safety between abiraterone and enzalutamide. In addition, enzalutamide had better efficacy than abiraterone with regard to improving rPFS and TTPP but not OS, but the level of evidence was low. Therefore, a large direct comparison trial is needed to compare the efficacy of the two drugs.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, identifier (CRD42021226808)

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.

198 Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a folate hydrolase expressed on the surface of PC cells that has been used as a target to detect disease and selectively deliver cytotoxic agents and radionuclides. The ability to detect PSMA levels on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may identify patients likely to benefit from such targeted therapy. Technology developed by Epic Sciences utilizes high definition imaging of plated nucleated cells. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Cells were stained for CK, CD45, PSMA and categorized as classic CTC (CK+, CD45-, intact/morphologically distinct nuclei) or apoptotic CTC (CK+, CD45-, morphology suggesting apoptosis). Clinical data including treatment, metastatic sites, Veridex CellSearch CTC enumeration, prostate-specific antigen, and alkaline phosphatase was collected. Results: Fourteen pts with mCRPC, including eight with serial samples were analyzed (33 samples in total). At the first draw (t1), classic CTC were detected in 13 pts (93%), (median two cells/ml, range 0 to 40 cells/ml) and apoptotic CTC in 14 pts (100%) (median four cells/ml, range 1 to 18 cells/ml), including six pts (42%) with no CTC by Veridex CellSearch. PSMA expression was detected in five pts (36%) with classic CTC of which a median of 32% of cells (range 5 to 100%) expressed the antigen. Similar intra-patient heterogeneity was seen for the 10 pts (71.4%) with PSMA+ apoptotic CTCs (median 33.5%, range 11 to 75% cells). During treatment, often with more complete androgen suppression, PSMA was detected in 3 of the 8 (38%) pts with no PSMA+ classic CTCs at t1. The presence of PSMA expression in apoptotic CTCs did not appear to change while on therapy. Conclusions: A larger percentage of PSMA expression was seen in mCRPC pts in apoptotic CTC (10 out of 14) than classic CTC (5 out of 14) at t1, with intra-patient cell heterogeneity of PSMA expression in both CTC populations. Serial measures suggest dynamic changes in PSMA expression over time. The threshold of detectable cells and proportion and degree of PSMA expression that associates with drug sensitivity is unknown. Larger samples of pts at discrete time points on therapy are underway to further elucidate the potential clinical relevance.
