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.

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.

235 Background: New emerging therapies for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), such as cabazitaxel (CBZ), have prompted the need to identify appropriate patients (pts) for each specific treatment. We describe preliminary data on the experience with CBZ in patients (pts) with mCRPC in Spain. Methods: Medical records from docetaxel-resistant mCRPC pts receiving CBZ at 15 centers in Spain were reviewed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics, PSA response, overall survival (OS), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and toxicity were collected. Results: Data from 79 consecutive pts (median age 70) were reviewed: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) zero to one (87.3%), Gleason score of 7 to 10 (87.1%), visceral involvement (24.1%), pain (74.7%), and radiological progression (68.4%) at CBZ initiation. Median duration of response to first-line androgen deprivation therapy was 20.8 months (mo). Most pts received less than or equal to two hormonal lines (72.2%) and only one docetaxel line (74.7%) before CBZ. Thirty-five (44.3%) pts had progressed on docetaxel. Progression less than six mo or greater than six mo after last docetaxel treatment was observed in 23 (29.1%) and 21 (26.6%) pts, respectively. New hormonal agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) were given before CBZ in 2.5% of pts and after CBZ in 17.7%. Pts received a median of seven cycles (range 2 to 22) of CBZ. CBZ dose-reductions or -delays for any cause occurred in eight (10.1%) and 20 (25.3%) pts, respectively. Prophylactic G-CSF was given in 32 (40.5%) pts. A PSA decrease of greater than or equal to 50% and greater than or equal to 30% was reached in 41.2% and 48.6% of pts treated with CBZ. Median OS from first CBZ cycle was 16.2 [CI: 10.4;-] mo and median clinical and/or radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was 9.9 mo [CI: 7.4; 13.1]. Fourteen (17.7%) pts experienced at least one grade greater than or equal to 3 treatment-related AE, the most common being neutropenia (n=4), febrile neutropenia (n=2), asthenia (n=4), and diarrhoea (n=2). No grade greater than or equal to 3 peripheral neuropathy was reported. An analysis of factors predicting outcome will be presented. Conclusions: CBZ administered in real-life practice and in the adequate treatment setting in Spain is associated with meaningful PFS and OS and an acceptable safety profile. Dose delays and reductions were low. Prophylactic G-CSF use in 4 out of 10 pts may have contributed to these good results.

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.

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.
