5033 Background: To develop a new treatment modality, we conducted a phase III randomized trial of personalized peptide vaccination (PPV) for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -A24 positive patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who failed docetaxel chemotherapy. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive PPV or placebo. Four of 12 warehouse peptides selected based on preexisting peptide-specific immunoglobulin G levels or the corresponding placebo were subcutaneously injected 6 doses weekly followed the maximum of 30 doses bi-weekly until disease progression. The primary end point was overall survival (OS), and secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and immune responses. Results: From August 2013 to April 2016, 310 patients were randomly assigned (207 to PPV and 103 to placebo), and 306 patients were analyzed by the full analysis set (204 to PPV and 102 to placebo). Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups. Estimated median OS was 16.1 months (95% CI, 13 to 18.2) with PPV and 16.9 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.4) with placebo (HR, 1.04; 95%CI, 0.79 to 1.37; P = 0.77). Median PFS was also not significantly different among them. Median Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were observed in 41% in both groups. The analysis of treatment arm effects among various subgroups revealed a lower HR for OS in favor of the PPV arm in patients with a < 64% neutrophil proportion (HR, 0.55; 95%CI, 0.33 to 0.93), with a significant interaction test ( P = 0.003). Conclusions: PPV did not prolong either OS or PFS in HLA-A24 positive patients with CRPC progressing after docetaxel chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: 0000113088.

Purpose Prognostic models for overall survival (OS) for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are dated and do not reflect significant advances in treatment options available for these patients. This work developed and validated an updated prognostic model to predict OS in patients receiving first-line chemotherapy. Methods Data from a phase III trial of 1,050 patients with mCRPC were used (Cancer and Leukemia Group B CALGB-90401 [Alliance]). The data were randomly split into training and testing sets. A separate phase III trial served as an independent validation set. Adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator selected eight factors prognostic for OS. A predictive score was computed from the regression coefficients and used to classify patients into low- and high-risk groups. The model was assessed for its predictive accuracy using the time-dependent area under the curve (tAUC). Results The model included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, disease site, lactate dehydrogenase, opioid analgesic use, albumin, hemoglobin, prostate-specific antigen, and alkaline phosphatase. Median OS values in the high- and low-risk groups, respectively, in the testing set were 17 and 30 months (hazard ratio [HR], 2.2; P < .001); in the validation set they were 14 and 26 months (HR, 2.9; P < .001). The tAUCs were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.73) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.76) in the testing and validation sets, respectively. Conclusion An updated prognostic model for OS in patients with mCRPC receiving first-line chemotherapy was developed and validated on an external set. This model can be used to predict OS, as well as to better select patients to participate in trials on the basis of their prognosis.
