Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant pembrolizumab therapy after surgery for renal-cell carcinoma was approved on the basis of a significant improvement in disease-free survival in the KEYNOTE-564 trial. Whether the results regarding overall survival from the third prespecified interim analysis of the trial would also favor pembrolizumab was uncertain. METHODS In this phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) participants with clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma who had an increased risk of recurrence after surgery to receive pembrolizumab (at a dose of 200 mg) or placebo every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles (approximately 1 year) or until recurrence, the occurrence of unacceptable toxic effects, or withdrawal of consent. A significant improvement in disease-free survival according to investigator assessment (the primary end point) was shown previously. Overall survival was the key secondary end point. Safety was a secondary end point. RESULTS A total of 496 participants were assigned to receive pembrolizumab and 498 to receive placebo. As of September 15, 2023, the median follow-up was 57.2 months. The disease-free survival benefit was consistent with that in previous analyses (hazard ratio for recurrence or death, 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.87). A significant improvement in overall survival was observed with pembrolizumab as compared with placebo (hazard ratio for death, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.87; P = 0.005). The estimated overall survival at 48 months was 91.2% in the pembrolizumab group, as compared with 86.0% in the placebo group; the benefit was consistent across key subgroups. Pembrolizumab was associated with a higher incidence of serious adverse events of any cause (20.7%, vs. 11.5% with placebo) and of grade 3 or 4 adverse events related to pembrolizumab or placebo (18.6% vs. 1.2%). No deaths were attributed to pembrolizumab therapy. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant pembrolizumab was associated with a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival, as compared with placebo, among participants with clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma at increased risk for recurrence after surgery.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has long been considered technically difficult in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC). However, the introduction of oxaliplatin-based regimens led to a growing interest in NAC for patients with LACC. Several cohort studies showed that NAC was safe and reduced the rate of incomplete resection in patients with LACC. This was followed by the pivotal phase III FOxTROT trials, which showed significant benefits of NAC in this population. However, in patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR), the response to a neoadjuvant fluoropyrimidine regimen may be poor, limiting the benefit of NAC in this subset of patients. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy is a potential alternative for NAC in LACC patients with dMMR. In this concise review, we present the published clinical evidence evaluating the efficacy and safety of NAC and/or neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with LACC. Overall, the evidence suggests that NAC can be associated with significant downstaging and tumor regression, which facilitate surgical resection. However, the impact of NAC on long-term survival is still under investigation. Despite the promising results of NAC in LACC, several concerns still exist that necessitate further evidence. On the other hand, LACC patients with dMMR can benefit from neoadjuvant immunotherapy; however, further trials are still needed to confirm its effectiveness, as well as biomarkers that can predict response.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Radiation therapy has immune-modulating effects resulting from apoptosis of tumor cells and DNA damage. The downstream generation of cytosolic DNA activates the cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS)-STimulator of INterferon Gene (STING) signaling axis in both tumor and nearby immune cells, leading to increased induction of type I interferon (IFN-I) and other immune stimulating molecules. TAK-676 is a novel synthetic STING agonist being investigated (+/- pembrolizumab) in an ongoing first-in-human phase 1 study (NCT04420884). TAK-676 is a potent modulator of the innate immune system and leads to downstream activation of the adaptive immune system to produce antitumor responses in preclinical studies. In contrast to intratumorally injected STING agonists, TAK-676 is optimally designed for reduced serum degradation and enhanced permeability, allowing systemic IV delivery and access to tumor sites and lymphatics. The addition of TAK-676 following radiation therapy may enhance the immune response by increasing the STING-mediated IFN-I release and further stimulate T cell-mediated antitumor immunity, particularly in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies. Impaired IFN signaling has been linked to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) resistance. Preclinical studies show that addition of a STING agonist may reverse the mechanisms of resistance in tumors with prior exposure to CPIs. This phase 1 trial was designed to investigate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of TAK-676 + pembrolizumab following radiation therapy (NCT04879849).
Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with advanced NSCLC, TNBC, or SCCHN who have progressed on CPIs with ≥2 lesions, one of which can be targeted with radiation, are being enrolled. Patients receive 8 Gy x 3 fractions of image-guided radiation therapy followed by (after a minimum of 40 hours) IV pembrolizumab 200 mg on day 1 plus escalating doses of IV TAK-676 on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. TAK-676 dose escalation is guided by the Bayesian Optimal Interval design. Patients receive TAK-676 + pembrolizumab until disease progression, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent. Once pharmacologically active dose levels of TAK-676 have been observed, paired biopsies will be collected in patients with a safely accessible lesion outside the radiation field at screening and between days 15 and 21 of cycle 1. The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of TAK-676 + pembrolizumab following radiation therapy; secondary objectives are to determine the recommended phase 2 dose of TAK-676 + pembrolizumab following radiation therapy, and to assess preliminary antitumor activity both locally (in the radiation field) and systemically (non-radiated lesions). As of January 2022, nearly 10% of the planned patients have been enrolled.

Abstract
TPS2698 Background: The cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS)–STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING) pathway is an important modulator of the innate immune system via induction of type I interferon (IFN-I). Cytosolic DNA generated as a result of tumor cell death following radiation therapy has been demonstrated to activate the cGAS-STING signaling axis resulting in antitumor immunogenicity. TAK-676 is a novel, synthetic STING agonist and it has been shown in preclinical studies to potently modulate the innate immune system and subsequently activate the adaptive immune system to produce antitumor responses. TAK-676 is designed for prolonged half-life in serum and enhanced tissue permeability compared with other STING agonists designed for intratumoral injection, allowing for systemic IV delivery with access to tumor sites and lymphatic tissue. IFN signaling impairment has been linked to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) resistance in tumors. Treatment with TAK-676 after radiation therapy has the potential to stimulate T cell-mediated antitumor immunity via STING-mediated IFN-I release, particularly when used with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies. Preclinical data support the addition of STING agonists to reverse resistance in tumors with prior exposure to CPIs. TAK-676 is being investigated (+/- pembrolizumab) in an ongoing first-in-human phase 1 study (NCT04420884). Here, we describe another phase 1 trial to investigate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of TAK-676 plus pembrolizumab following radiation therapy in pts with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, TNBC, or SCCHN (NCT04879849). Methods: Adult pts with progressive disease (PD) following CPI treatment and who have ≥2 lesions, 1 of which can be targeted with radiation, are being enrolled. Pts receive 8 Gy x 3 fractions of image-guided radiation followed (after ≥40 hours) by IV pembrolizumab 200 mg on day 1 plus escalating doses of IV TAK-676 on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle. TAK-676 dose escalation is guided by the Bayesian optimal interval design. Pts receive TAK-676 plus pembrolizumab until PD, intolerance to treatment, or withdrawal. Pts enrolled at TAK-676 dose levels shown to have pharmacodynamic activity, and who have a safely accessible lesion outside the radiation field, will have paired biopsies collected at screening and between days 15 and 21 of cycle 1. The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of TAK-676 plus pembrolizumab following radiation therapy; secondary objectives are to establish the recommended phase 2 dose of TAK-676 plus pembrolizumab following radiation therapy, and to assess preliminary antitumor activity both locally (within the radiation field) and systemically (non-radiated lesions). As of February 2022, we have enrolled ̃10% of the planned pts. Clinical trial information: NCT04879849.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy. Localized tumors can be treated successfully with surgical excision, but the presence of micrometastases, recurrence, and advanced disease are associated with high mortality rates, despite the use of chemotherapy with etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin (EDP), and mitotane. During the past decade, the characterization of ACC using genomic profiling and next-generation sequencing (NGS) has resulted in the proposed new targeted therapies for patients with advanced ACC. In 2018, the European Society of Endocrinology in collaboration with the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors (ENSAT) published clinical practice guidelines for the management of ACC. However, the authors of these new guidelines concluded that the evidence to support clinical management recommendations remains weak, as there remains a requirement for large-scale controlled clinical trials to support new targeted therapies. This review discusses the recent developments in the diagnosis, staging, and management of ACC, and the molecular changes that may be the basis for future personalized or targeted therapy, if supported by data from clinical trials.

Abstract
125 Background: RCTs have tested the role of adding immunotherapy to standard therapy in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the first-line setting. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs to assess the efficacy and toxicity of adding immunotherapy in this patient population. Methods: We systematically conducted a comprehensive literature search using PUBMED, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases through October 1, 2018. RCTs of first-line standard therapy +/- immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were incorporated in the analysis. A generic inverse variance method was used to calculate the estimated pooled Hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The mantel-haenszel method was used to calculate the estimated pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for pooled overall response rate (ORR), all-grade adverse events (AEs), and high-grade AEs (≥grade 3). Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochrane Q-statistic. Random effects were used due to significant heterogeneity among studies. Results: Three phase 2 & 3 RCTs (Keynote – 021,189 and IMpower – 150) including 1431 patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients were included in the analysis. Keynote 021 & 189 trials did not allow patients with EGFR or ALK mutations, while IMpower 150 trial allowed EGFR or ALK mutations. The study arm used standard regimens in combination with pembrolizumab or atezolizumab while control arm used only standard regimens. The pooled HR for PFS was 0.57 (95% CI: 0.5-0.65; P=0.00001), the pooled HR for OS was 0.61 (95% CI: 0.43-0.87; P=0.006), and the pooled RR for ORR was 1.83 (95 CI: 1.13-2.95; P=0.01). The pooled RRs for all-grade AEs and high-grade AEs were 1 (95% CI: 0.99-1.02; P=0.48) and 1.11 (95% CI: 0.97-1.28; P=0.14), respectively. Conclusions: Pooled data showed significant improvement in PFS, OS & ORR with chemo-immunotherapy compared to the standard treatment regimen for the first-line treatment of advanced non-squamous NSCLC. There was no increase in the risk of all-grade and high-grade AEs.

Abstract
121 Background: Squamous Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~30% of lung cancers, and long-term survival remains poor for advanced disease. Combined chemo-immunotherapy can have synergistic anticancer activities through the immunomodulatory impact of checkpoint inhibitors and the immunogenic effect of chemotherapy. Methods: We systematically conducted a comprehensive literature search using PUBMED, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases through October 1, 2018. RCTs of first-line chemotherapy +/- immunotherapy in patients with advanced squamous NSCLC were incorporated in the analysis. A generic inverse variance method was used to calculate the estimated pooled Hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The mantel-haenszel method was used to calculate the estimated pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for pooled overall response rate (ORR), all-grade adverse events (AEs), and high-grade AEs (≥grade 3). Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochrane Q -statistic. Random effects were used due to significant heterogeneity among studies. Results: Three phase 3 RCTs (Keynote – 407, IMpower – 131, and Govindan et al) including 1991 patients with advanced squamous NSCLC patients were included in the meta-analysis. The study arm used standard chemotherapy regimens in combination with ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, or atezolizumab, while control arm used only standard chemotherapy regimens. The pooled HR for PFS was 0.71 (95% CI: 0.56-0.9; P = 0.005), the pooled HR for OS was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.68-1.04; P = 0.11), and the pooled RR for ORR was 1.19 (95 CI: 0.9-1.56; P = 0.22). The pooled RRs for all-grade AEs and high-grade AEs were 1.17 (95% CI: 0.99-1.39; P = 0.07) and 1.36 (95% CI: 1.19-1.56; P = 0.0001), respectively. Conclusions: The combined chemo-immunotherapy improves PFS without significant improvement in OS & ORR compared to standard chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of advanced squamous NSCLC. The combined regimen results in a slightly higher risk of high-grade AEs without a significant increase in the risk of all-grade AEs.

Abstract
117 Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of lung cancers among which the metastatic disease represents ~ 57%, and long-term prognosis remains poor. Combined chemo-immunotherapy can have synergistic anticancer activities through the immunomodulatory impact of checkpoint inhibitors and the immunogenic effect of chemotherapy. Methods: We systematically conducted a comprehensive literature search using PUBMED, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases through October 1, 2018.

Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochrane Q-statistic. Random effects were used due to significant heterogeneity among studies. Results: Seven phase 2 & 3 RCTs (Keynote-021,189, 407, IMpower-131, 150, checkmate-227, and Govindan et al) including 3785 patients with advanced NSCLC were included in the analysis. IMpower 150 trial allowed EGFR or ALK mutated patients. The study arm used standard treatment regimens in combination with ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, or nivolumab, while control arm used only standard treatment regimens. The pooled HR for PFS was 0.65 (95% CI: 0.56-0.77; P=0.00001), the pooled HR for OS was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.59-0.90; P=0.003), and the pooled RR for ORR was 1.45 (95 CI: 1.17-1.8; P=0.0007). The pooled RRs for all-grade AEs and high-grade AEs were 1.1 (95% CI: 1-1.21; P=0.05) and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.13-1.46; P=0.0001), respectively. Conclusions: Adding immunotherapy to standard regimen significantly improves PFS, OS, and ORR for the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. The combined regimen results in a slightly higher risk of high-grade AEs without a significant increase in the risk of all-grade AEs.

Abstract
6538 Background: Patients who die soon after starting chemotherapy incur symptoms and financial costs without survival benefit. Prognostic uncertainty may contribute to increasing chemotherapy use near the end of life, but few prognostic aids exist to guide physicians and patients in the decision to initiate chemotherapy. Methods: We obtained all electronic health record (EHR) data from 2004-14 from a large national cancer center, linked to Social Security data to determine date of death. Using EHR data before treatment initiation, we created a machine learning (ML) model to predict 180-day mortality from the start of chemotherapy. We derived the model using data from 2004-11 and report predictive performance on data from 2012-14. Results: 26,946 patients initiated 51,774 discrete chemotherapy regimens over the study period; 49% received multiple lines of chemotherapy. The most common cancers were breast (23.6%), colorectal (17.6%), and lung (16.6%). 18.4% of patients died within 180 days after chemotherapy initiation. Model predictions were used to rank patients in the validation cohort by predicted risk. Patients in the highest decile of predicted risk had a 180-day mortality of 74.8%, vs. 0.2% in the lowest decile (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUC] 0.87). Predictions were accurate for patients with metastatic disease (AUC 0.85) and for individual primary cancers and chemotherapy regimens—including experimental regimens not present in the derivation sample. Model predictions were valid for 30- and 90-day mortality (AUC 0.94 and 0.89, respectively). ML predictions outperformed regimen-based mortality estimates from randomized trials (RT) (AUC 0.77 [ML] vs. 0.56 [RT]), and National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) estimates (AUC 0.81 [ML] vs. 0.40 [SEER]). Conclusions: Using EHR data from a single cancer center, we derived a machine learning algorithm that accurately predicted short-term mortality after chemotherapy initiation. Further research is necessary to determine applications of this algorithm in clinical settings and whether this tool can improve shared decision making leading up to chemotherapy initiation.

Abstract
e16516 Background: Identifying occult metastases in men with BRPC is critical, as treatment depends on disease state (biochemical recurrence vs oligometastatic disease). It is prudent to investigate pts for metastases, even men with low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, to select appropriate salvage, local or systemic treatments. We evaluated baseline parameters of BRPC pts with occult metastases identified during screening for STAND (phase 2, NCT01431391). Methods: STAND eligibility criteria included prostate cancer primary therapy and PSA doubling time (PSADT) ≤12 months. Pts with metastases were excluded. We compared pts with and without metastases. Results: Of 99 screened pts, 68 entered STAND with non-metastatic BRPC, 11 (11%) failed screening due to metastases and 20 (20%) due to other reasons. In this small sample, no baseline parameters were identified that clearly distinguished between pts with or without metastases. For pts with metastases vs STAND pts, median age was similar (66 vs 65 y); all were Caucasian. Baseline median (range) PSA levels were numerically higher (4.3 [1.7–141.7] vs 2.4 [0.3–47.8] ng/mL) and PSADT values were numerically shorter (3.5 [1.1–7.6] vs 5.1 [1.0–16.4] months) for pts with metastases vs STAND pts, respectively. The proportion of pts with PSA > 10 ng/dL was 29% vs 19%, or PSADT < 6 months was 80% vs 59% for pts with metastases vs STAND pts, respectively. Baseline lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and hemoglobin levels were similar between groups. Conclusions: A substantial proportion (11%) of BRPC pts with presumed non-metastatic disease had undiagnosed occult metastases at low PSA levels. Such pts may benefit from closer monitoring with improved imaging technology, continuous androgen deprivation therapy or potentially docetaxel. While more rigorous screening (even at low PSA levels) may be advantageous, identifying such pts is challenging as their baseline parameters may not differ significantly vs BRPC pts with no metastases. In the future, detection of oligometastatic disease is likely to increase due to more sensitive imaging modalities, thus, the BRPC state will be reduced. Clinical trial information: NCT01431391.

Abstract
Purpose: STAND, a randomized, phase II, open-label trial (NCT01431391), assessed sequencing of sipuleucel-T (an autologous cellular immunotherapy) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BRPC) patients at high risk for metastasis.Experimental Design: Men with BRPC following prostatectomy and/or radiotherapy, a PSA doubling time ≤12 months, and no metastasis were enrolled. Patients were randomized (34/arm) to sipuleucel-T followed by ADT (started 2 weeks after sipuleucel-T completion), or ADT followed by sipuleucel-T (started 12 weeks after ADT initiation); ADT continued for 12 months in both arms. The primary endpoint was PA2024-specific T-cell response [enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT)] over time.Results: PA2024-specific ELISPOT responses over time were similar between groups, except at week 6, where responses were higher with sipuleucel-T→ADT versus ADT→sipuleucel-T (P = 0.013). PA2024-specific T-cell proliferation responses, averaged across time points, were approximately 2-fold higher with sipuleucel-T→ADT versus ADT→sipuleucel-T (P = 0.001). PA2024-specific cellular and humoral responses and prostatic acid phosphatase-specific humoral responses increased significantly versus baseline (P < 0.001) and were maintained for 24 months (both arms). Median time-to-PSA recurrence was similar between arms (21.8 vs. 22.6 months, P = 0.357). Development of a PA2024-specific humoral response correlated with prolonged time-to-PSA progression (HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.08-0.67; P = 0.007). Sipuleucel-T with ADT was generally well tolerated.Conclusions: Sipuleucel-T→ADT appears to induce greater antitumor immune responses than the reverse sequence. These results warrant further investigation to determine whether this sequence leads to improved clinical outcomes, as well as the independent contribution of ADT alone in terms of immune activation.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men in Western countries. In-vitro and in-vivo studies suggest that oxidative stress (OS) and antioxidants play a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases including PCa, which is promoted by the production of reactive oxygen species and impaired antioxidant defense mechanisms. This study evaluates the association between OS and men with PCa. Methods A literature search was carried out on Medline, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases, as well as manual searches from inception up to August 2015 using the keywords “Oxidative stress” or “Reactive oxygen species” or “Lipid peroxidation” AND “Prostate cancer.” All studies including data on the measurement of OS biomarkers in PCa were included. Results Twenty-three case control studies were retrieved with sample sizes ranging from 15 to 3,613 (6,439 participants in total). Markers of OS were significantly higher in patients with PCa compared with control groups in 21 studies. Two self-controlled case studies comparing OS between PCa cells and non-PCa cells in tissue biopsies found OS to be statistically higher in PCa cancer cells. Results on markers of antioxidant capacity (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, uric acid, lutein, lycopene, beta carotein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and total antioxidants) were not completely consistent in their association with PCa. Conclusions Upregulated OS profiles and impairment of antioxidant defense systems may play a role in men with PCa. To confirm these findings, robust clinical trials utilizing a personalized approach which monitors both OS and antioxidant markers during therapy are warranted.

Abstract
33 Background: We wished to evaluate the incidence and predictors of the use of long-term (2-3 years) vs. shorter-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in radiation-treated men with high-risk prostate cancer. Methods: We identified 302 patients from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute patient registry diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer (T3a or PSA > 20 ng/mL or Gleason score 8-10) between 1993 and 2015. We assessed the intended duration of ADT and used multivariable Cox regression to evaluate predictors of receiving shorter-course ADT than recommended by guidelines (< 2 years). Results: The course of ADT intended by physicians increased following the 2009 publication of trials showing the superiority of 2-3 years versus 4-6 months of ADT, with 43.5% intending ≥ 2 years before vs. 61.4% after (p=0.014). Starting in 2010, 49.4% of patients actually received less than 2 years of ADT. The most common reasons for receipt of shorter-course ADT were intolerance of ADT side effects, patient comorbidity/age, the presence of T3a on MRI only as the sole high-risk feature, or participation in a clinical trial. ACE-27 moderate to severe comorbidity (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]=2.94), Gleason score less than 8 (AHR=5.66), and PSA < 20 ng/mL (AHR=4.19) all predicted receipt of shorter-course ADT (p<0.05 in all cases). Conclusions: In a tertiary-care setting, rates of long-course ADT for high-risk disease have increased since the 2008/2009 trials supporting its use. However, approximately half of patients continued to receive shorter-course ADT, often due to intolerance of side effects, underlying comorbidity, or physician judgment about the aggressiveness of the disease.

Abstract
Given the drive toward personalized, value-based, and coordinated cancer care delivery, modern knowledge-based practice is being shaped within the context of an increasingly technology-driven healthcare landscape. The ultimate promise of 'precision medicine' is predicated on taking advantage of the range of new capabilities for integrating disease- and individual-specific data to define new taxonomies as part of a systems-based knowledge network. Specifically, with cancer being a constantly evolving complex disease process, proper care of an individual will require the ability to seamlessly integrate multi-dimensional 'omic' and clinical data. Importantly, however, the challenges of curating knowledge from multiple dynamic data sources and translating to practice at the point-of-care highlight parallel needs. As patients, caregivers, and their environments become more proactive in clinical care and management, practical success of precision medicine is equally dependent on the development of proper infrastructures for evolving data integration, platforms for knowledge representation in a clinically-relevant context, and implementation within a provider's work-life and workflow.

Abstract
Background The burden of cancer is increasing; projections over the next 2 decades suggest that the annual cases of cancer will rise from 14 million in 2012 to 22 million. However, cancer patients in the 21st century are living longer due to the availability of novel therapeutic regimens, which has prompted a growing focus on maintaining patients’ health-related quality of life. Telehealth is increasingly being used to connect with patients outside of traditional clinical settings, and early work has shown its importance in improving quality of life and other clinical outcomes in cancer care. Objective The aim of this study was to systematically assess the literature for the effect of supportive telehealth interventions on pain, depression, and quality of life in cancer patients via a systematic review of clinical trials. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and PsycINFO in July 2013 and updated the literature search again in January 2015 for prospective randomized trials evaluating the effect of telehealth interventions in cancer care with pain, depression, and quality of life as main outcomes. Two of the authors independently reviewed and extracted data from eligible randomized controlled trials, based on pre-determined selection criteria. Methodological quality of studies was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool. Results Of the 4929 articles retrieved from databases and relevant bibliographies, a total of 20 RCTs were included in the final review. The studies were largely heterogeneous in the type and duration of the intervention as well as in outcome assessments. A majority of the studies were telephone-based interventions that remotely connected patients with their health care provider or health coach. The intervention times ranged from 1 week to 12 months. In general, most of the studies had low risk of bias across the domains of the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool, but most of the studies had insufficient information about the allocation concealment domain. Two of the three studies focused on pain control reported significant effects of the intervention; four of the nine studies focus on depression reported significant effects, while only the studies that were focused on quality of life reported significant effects. Conclusions This systematic review demonstrates the potential of telehealth interventions in improving outcomes in cancer care. However, more high-quality large-sized trials are needed to demonstrate cogent evidence of its effectiveness.

Abstract
171 Background: Sip-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy targeting prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), approved for treatment of asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. STAND evaluates sequencing of sip-T and ADT in men with BRPC at high risk of metastases. Here we report interim assessments of cellular and humoral responses through 24 mos. Methods: Men (n=68)were randomized 1:1 to sip-T followed by ADT (2 wks after 3rd infusion; Arm 1) or ADT (3-mo lead-in) followed by sip-T (Arm 2). Product parameters (total nucleated cell [TNC] count, antigen presenting cell [APC] count, APC activation) were determined with each product manufacture. Cellular and humoral immune responses were analyzed through 24 mos with a repeated measures statistical model. Results: Sample size ranged 8–28 for cellular responses and 34–64 for humoral responses. PA2024 ELISPOT count increased vs baseline at most timepoints (p<0.05) and was lower in Arm 2 vs Arm 1 (p=0.015). PA2024 antigen-specific T-cell proliferation increased from baseline at all timepoints (p≤0.001) and was lower in Arm 2 vs Arm 1 (p<0.001). PA2024 antibody titers were similar between treatment arms (p=0.976). PA2024 antibody titer was significantly higher at the 3rd sip-T infusion visit and remained elevated at 24 mos (23 times higher on average vs baseline; p<0.001). A similar antibody titer profile was reported for PAP but of lesser magnitude. The number of immune responders (post-baseline antibody titer ≥25,600) was similar at any timepoint between arms (Arm 1: 30/34, 88.1%; Arm 2: 32/34, 94.1%; p=0.673). Higher cumulative TNC and baseline hemoglobin positively correlated with maximum PA2024 antibody titer response (p<0.05). Conclusions: Sip-T induced a robust immune response sustained to 24 mos in men with BRPC. Cellular response appeared to differ according to treatment sequence; humoral response was similar between treatment arms. Given its consistent association with the humoral response, cumulative TNC count may be a potential biomarker of response to sip-T. Clinical trial information: NCT01431391.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor in which prognostic factors are still not well established. Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in ACC and its association with clinico-pathological features and survival outcomes are unknown. METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens were obtained from 28 patients with ACC. PD-L1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in both tumor cell membrane and tumor infiltrating mononuclear cells (TIMC). PD-L1 positivity on tumor cells was defined as ≥5% tumor cell membrane staining. TIMC were evaluated by IHC using a CD45 monoclonal antibody. For PD-L1 expression in TIMC, a combined score based on the extent of infiltrates and percentage of positive cells was developed. Any score greater that zero was considered PD-L1 positive. Baseline clinico-pathological characteristics and follow up data were retrospectively collected. Comparisons between PD-L1 expression and clinico-pathological features were evaluated using unpaired t-test and Fisher's exact test. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to assess association between PD-L1 expression and 5-year overall survival (OS). RESULTS Among 28 patients with surgically treated ACC, 3 (10.7%) were considered PD-L1 positive on tumor cell membrane. On the other hand, PD-L1 expression in TIMC was performed in 27 specimens and PD-L1 positive staining was observed in 19 (70.4%) patients. PD-L1 positivity in either tumor cell membrane or TIMC was not significantly associated with higher stage at diagnosis, higher tumor grade, excessive hormone secretion, or OS. CONCLUSIONS PD-L1 expression can exist in ACC in both tumor cell membrane and TIMC with no relationship to clinico-pathologic parameters or survival.

Abstract
Background The widespread and increasing use of oral anti-cancer medications has been ushered in by a rapidly increasing understanding of cancer pathophysiology. Furthermore, their popular ease of administration and potential cost savings has highlighted their central position in the health care system as a whole. These facts have heightened appreciation of the unique challenges associated with the use of oral anti-cancer medications; especially in the long-term use of these medications and the associated side effects that may impede optimal adherence to their use. Therefore, we developed ChemOtheRapy Assistant, CORA, a personalized mobile phone–based self-management application to help cancer patients on oral anti-cancer medications. Objective Our objective is to evaluate the effect of CORA on adherence to oral anti-cancer medications and other clinically relevant outcomes in the management of patients with renal and prostate cancer. Methods The study will be implemented as a 2-parallel group randomized controlled trial in 104 patients with renal or prostate cancer on oral anti-cancer medications over a 3-month study period. The intervention group will use CORA in addition to usual care for self-management while the control group will continue care as usual. Medication adherence will be measured objectively by a Medication Event Monitoring System device and is defined as the percentage of prescribed doses taken. We will also assess the effect of the intervention on cancer-related symptoms measured by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory and unplanned hospital utilizations. Other outcomes that will be measured at study start, midpoint, and endpoint are health-related quality of life, cancer-related fatigue, and anxiety. Group differences in medication adherence will be examined by t tests or by non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests if the data are not normally distributed. Logistic regression will be used to identify potential predictors of adherence. Results We expect to have results for this study before the end of 2016. Conclusions This novel mobile phone–enabled, multimodal self-management and educational intervention could lead to improvements in clinical outcomes and serve as a foundation for future mHealth research in improving outcomes for patients on oral anti-cancer medications.

Abstract
162 Background: The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends the use of a synoptic Chemotherapy Treatment Plan (CTP) to define care including outlining anticipated side effects of chemotherapy. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) sought to improve their existing CTP template in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) by standardizing side effect language. While DFCI’s existing CTP template contained a side effect section, it was burdensome, requiring clinicians to develop and list the risks for individual treatments. Side effect language varied in content and length, often inaccurately depicting the risks of treatment. DFCI created standardized, disease and regimen specific side effect templates, accessible within the EMR, in order to populate the side effects section of the CTP and consent. Methods: A multi-disciplinary team comprised of physicians, pharmacists, and administrators developed side effect language for chemotherapy regimens. Through research of published materials, a pharmacist wrote unique side effect language for each regimen, translated into a 6th grade reading level. The physicians reviewed the templates for accuracy and completeness making clinical edits to doses, schedules, and risks. Administrators assessed the language for readability using DFCI’s approved Risk Lay Language and built the side effect templates into the EMR. Clinicians access the templates in the CTP section of the EMR and populate the CTP with the appropriate disease and regimen-specific language. Results: There are 36 adult solid tumor disease categories at DFCI. Side effect profiles were developed for 27 (75%) of these categories. By fall 2014, 100% of the side effect profiles will be completed and available in the EMR. In total, 612 regimens will have specific side effect language written and built into the EMR as custom paragraphs. To date, 500 (82%) of the side effect profiles are in development. Conclusions: Building standardized disease and regimen specific side effect language provides patients and clinicians with an accurate depiction of the risks of treatment; subsequently ensuring proper patient education and elimination of provider documentation burden.

Abstract
98 Background: Clinical pathways (CP) is an emerging tool aiming to reduce unwarranted variation and maximize value in cancer care. We describe the preliminary experiences and challenges of developing, implementing and testing pathways at a comprehensive cancer center. Methods: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) partnered with Via Oncology to develop and pilot institution-derived CP in lung cancer. The Via platform tracks usage rate, adherence to the DFCI-designed CP (on-pathway rate), and reasons why off-pathway treatments were chosen. An online satisfaction survey was conducted among providers participating in the pilot. Results: Between 1/27/14 and 5/30/14, 277 chemotherapy treatments were initiated, with 124 new patients. CP was used to generate 98% of new chemotherapy orders; 63% were on-pathway. The most common off-pathway reasons were 1) poor patient performance status and 2) treatment beyond 3rd line. 22 of 41 specialists who participated in the CP pilot at DFCI’s main campus responded to the survey (54% response rate). Respondents ranked the Institute as the stakeholder who most benefits from CP, followed by payers, DFCI network community physicians, DFCI main campus physicians, and patients. Respondents recognized CP reflects appropriate care but are concerned about workflow (Table). Conclusions: Implementation of an institution-derived CP is feasible at a comprehensive cancer center. Physician input into pathway design is essential to build buy-in. Academic specialists perceived more benefit of CP for their community peers and raised concerns about workflow. On-pathway rates were lower than those reported in community settings, due to many potential factors (to be explored with updated data for final presentation). [Table: see text]

Abstract
PURPOSE Definitive treatment of high-risk prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy or radiation improves survival. We assessed whether racial disparities in the receipt of definitive therapy for prostate cancer vary by regional income. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort of 102,486 men (17,594 African American [AA] and 84,892 non-Hispanic white) with localized high-risk prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen >20 ng/ml or Gleason ≥ 8 or stage ≥ cT2c) diagnosed from 2004 to 2010 was identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Income was measured at the census-tract-level. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess patient and cancer characteristics associated with the receipt of definitive therapy for prostate cancer. Multivariable Fine and Gray competing risks analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with prostate cancer death. RESULTS Overall, AA men were less likely to receive definitive therapy than white men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.49-0.54; P<0.001), and there was a significant race/income interaction (Pinteraction = 0.016) such that there was a larger racial treatment disparity in the bottom income quintile (AOR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.45-0.55; P<0.001) than in the top income quintile (AOR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.51-0.71; P<0.001). After a median follow-up of 35 months, AA men in the bottom income quintile suffered the greatest prostate cancer mortality (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.17-1.84; P = 0.001), compared with white men in the top income quintile. CONCLUSIONS Racial disparities in the receipt of definitive therapy for high-risk prostate cancer are greatest in low-income communities, suggesting that interventions to reduce racial disparities should target low-income populations first.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cabozantinib (XL184), an oral inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases such as MET and VEGFR2, was evaluated in a phase II nonrandomized expansion study in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received open-label cabozantinib at daily starting doses of 100 mg or 40 mg until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was bone scan response, defined as ≥ 30% reduction in bone scan lesion area. Other efficacy end points included overall survival, pain, analgesic use, and biomarkers. RESULTS One hundred forty-four patients sequentially enrolled in either a 100-mg (n = 93) or 40-mg (n = 51) study cohort. Ninety-one patients (63%) had a bone scan response, often by week 6. Treatment resulted in clinically meaningful pain relief (57% of patients) and reduction or discontinuation of narcotic analgesics (55% of patients), as well as improvements in measurable soft tissue disease, circulating tumor cells, and bone biomarkers. Improvements in each of these outcomes were observed in both cohorts: bone scan response in 73% and 45%, respectively; reductions in measurable soft tissue disease in 80% and 79%, respectively. Median overall survival was 10.8 months for the entire population. Most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were fatigue (22%) and hypertension (14%). Fewer dose reductions because of toxicity were required in the 40-mg group. CONCLUSION The evidence suggests that cabozantinib has clinically meaningful activity in CRPC. Cabozantinib resulted in improvements in bone scans, pain, analgesic use, measurable soft tissue disease, circulating tumor cells, and bone biomarkers. Taken together, these phase II observations warrant further development of cabozantinib in prostate cancer.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
224 Background: Cabazitaxel can offer a survival advantage in patients (pts) with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Febrile neutropenia (FN) has emerged as a serious complication, with a rate of 8% in the TROPIC trial (de Bono, Lancet 2010). Prophylaxis with pegfilgrastim (P) can decrease the risk of FN, although predictors of FN continue to evolve. We performed an analysis on the effect of prophylactic P use on FN and the impact of certain risk factors on FN rates. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of mCRPC patients treated with cabazitaxel from June 2010 to August 2013 at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Patient clinical and treatment variables were extracted. Fisher’s exact test was used to evaluate the association between potential risk factors and FN. Results: A total of 89 patients were treated at our institution and included in this analysis. All patients received at least one dose of cabazitaxel and received a mean of four cycles. Five pts (5.6%) developed FN; 3 out of 70 (4.3%) receiving P and 2 out of 19 (10.5%) not receiving P (p=0.3). Of the 24 patients that started cabazitaxel at a reduced dose, none developed FN. No toxic death was reported. Among several risk factors including P use, age older than 65, pre-existing neutropenia, prior chemotherapy, pre-existing infection, poor performance status, liver and renal dysfunction, and recent surgery, only a prior history of palliative radiation had a significant association with FN (p=.002). Conclusions: The rate of FN in a large academic practice is similar to what was reported in the TROPIC trial. Prior radiation may be a risk factor for FN in cabazitaxel-treated mCRPC patients. Other factors that may help better predict the risk of FN in different groups of patients receiving cabazitaxel must be identified.

Abstract
172 Background: National guidelines help define the standard for institutional clinical and insurance coverage policies, butdo not cover all chemo regimens or clinical scenarios. Given high utilization rates of primary granulocyte colony stimulating factors (GCSF) use in metastatic prostate cancer (CaP) patients treated with second-line cabazitaxel chemotherapy, we assessed indications and clinical rationale with goal of developing guidelines for appropriate use of GCSF in this population. Methods: We analyzed existing National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and ASCO Myeloid Growth Factors supportive care guidelines as applied to specific chemo regimens, patient and laboratory risk factors (RF). We subsequently examined phase III TROPIC trial data for incidence of neutropenic events in CaP patients treated with cabazitaxel. Additionally, the medical records of the 25 Dana-Farber CaP patients treated with cabazitaxel from 1/2012 through 9/2012 who received primary GCSF prophylaxis were characterized by neutropenia/complications and their RF profiles using existing guidelines. Findings were presented to the genitourinary oncology providers with discussion culminating in consensusrecommendations for GCSF use. Results: Existing guidelines recommend 7 un-weighted factors to consider for GCSF use, in addition to febrile neutropenia (FN) risk > 20% for any chemo regimen. Cabazitaxel is listed as intermediate FN risk (10-20%). Trial data report FN incidence as 7% without primary prophylaxis. The number of NCCN RF for evaluated Dana-Farber CaP patients is represented below. Conclusions: Group consensus considered any of the following to place patients at high risk of neutropenic events: ECOG ≥2; prior episode of FN with any-line chemo; prior neutropenia resulting in treatment delay; and previous radiation comprising >25% bone marrow exposure. Final clinical consensus regarding high risk patients was to consider standard dose cabazitaxel (25mg/m2) with GCSF support versus dose reduced cabazitaxel (20mg/m2) without GCSF. In cases where provider posits there is no compromise of benefit to patient, initial consideration will be for dose reduction. [Table: see text]

Abstract
163 Background: Due to the rapidly increasing complexity of the treatment and management landscape of genitourinary oncology patients,the high volume of patient calls within our practice has raised safety concerns among providers about follow-through on issues and coordination of care. Survey data revealed that more than 20% of providers and staff (n=19) were unsatisfied with the existing message triage process and indicated that it was not the most efficient and timely way to respond to clinical messages. Patient survey data (n=94) and analysis of messages showed 80% of messages were related to direct patient care issues. The aim of this project was to analyze and streamline the message triage process with the goal of creating a standardized approach to respond to clinical messages in a timely and efficient manner. Methods: A multidisciplinary team constructed a process map, administered surveys, conducted cause-and-effect analyses, orchestrated brainstorming sessions, and used a priority/pay-off matrix to devise and implement an intervention using a standardized message template. Results: Baseline data showed that 18% of emails contained the necessary components to provide direction on who held responsibility for answering a message. Three Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were conducted: (1) Education provided to administrative staff; (2) Implementation of email template; and (3) Subsequent modification in response to PDSA 2. After 3 weeks, 85% of emails contained the necessary components. Compared to a baseline of 79%, 96% of providers and staff prefer the new process. Conclusions: The interventions implemented using three sequential PDSA cycles resulted in an improved process for triaging clinical calls in conjunction with enhancing provider satisfaction. Additional steps are planned to further standardize the email notification template. [Table: see text]

Abstract
5016 Background: ADT is a standard treatment for men with BRPC after failure of local therapy, and has immunomodulatory effects. Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy approved for asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The STAND trial (NCT01431391) aimed to evaluate optimal sequencing of sipuleucel-T and ADT in men with BRPC at high risk for metastases (ie PSA doubling time ≤12 mo). Methods: Men were randomized (1:1) to Arm 1: sipuleucel-T followed by ADT (2 wks after 3rd infusion); or Arm 2: ADT (3 mo lead in) followed by sipuleucel-T. All men had 3 doses of sipuleucel-T and 12 mo of ADT (45 mg leuprolide SQ at 6 mo intervals). The primary endpoint is cellular immune response (ELISPOT to PA2024 [PAP-GMCSF]). Secondary endpoints are humoral and cytokine responses, product parameters and safety. Results: 68 men were randomized. Preliminary data show higher levels of serum cytokines in Arm 2 vs Arm 1, with a pattern suggesting a mixed TH1/TH2 cellular immune response; elevations were seen in TH1 (IFNγ, IL 12), TH2 (IL 4, 5, 10, 13) and TH17 (IL 17) subsets (all P<.05). The increase in TH1 cytokines was consistent with a trend toward higher PA2024-specific ELISPOT responses 2 wk after the 3rd sipuleucel-T infusion in Arm 2 vs Arm 1 (40.5 vs 12.8 spots; P=.086), suggesting increased T cell activation in Arm 2. Antigen-specific humoral responses were induced in both arms with no differences yet observed between arms. Sipuleucel-T product parameters were roughly equivalent in both arms with APC activation data indicating a robust prime-boost effect. Conclusions: While confirmation is required, these preliminary data suggest that tumor-specific T cell responses and broad based immune responses are augmented when sipuleucel-T is given after rather than before ADT initiation. These data are consistent with preclinical studies showing that ADT enhances T cell activity, and provide preliminary evidence that combining ADT with sipuleucel-T may augment adaptive immunity. Further follow up will determine whether augmented immune responses correlate with clinical parameters (eg PSA recurrence). Clinical trial information: NCT01431391.

Abstract
278 Background: ddMVAC is associated with high responses rate (RR) in advanced urothelial cancer (UC). We embarked on a study in MIUC to determine pathologic RR and its correlation with clinical and radiological outcomes as well as DNA excision repair pathway biomarkers (ERCC1, PAR, BRCA1, and BRCA2). Methods: Patients with cT2-T4, N0-1, M0 UC, and adequate kidney and marrow function were enrolled on a prospective multicenter phase II trial. Four cycles of ddMVAC were given followed by radical cystectomy (RC). The primary endpoint was pathologic downstaging to <pT1N0M0. The treatment would be considered effective if 17 of 37 eligible patients (46%) met the primary endpoint (85% power, 1-sided type I error 0.1). Secondary endpoints included safety, imaging response (by contrast-enhanced imaging, largely MRI), and biomarker correlates. Results: Between 12/08 and 4/12, 39 pts (cT2:42%; cT3:42%, cT4:16%, N1:45%) were enrolled. 91% had bladder primary, and 95% received 4 cycles of ddMVAC. Median follow up was 18 months. One patient developed distant metastases before RC. Of 39 eligible pts, 49% (90% CI 35-63) downstaged to <pT1N0M0 (pT0N0=26%), and the primary endpoint was met. 14/17 (82%) of pts with cN1 disease had pN0 at surgery; no pts with cN0 was found to have pN(+). Toxicities >Grade 3 related to chemotherapy were observed in 10% of pts and included mucositis, hand-foot skin reaction, hypokalemia and neutropenia. No neutropenic fevers were seen. Median and 18-month disease-free survival (DFS) is provided in Table. Tissue biomarker analyses will be presented. Conclusions: ddMVAC regimen is well tolerated and results in significant pathologic and radiologic downstaging in pts with MIUC. Clinical trial information: NCT00808639. [Table: see text]

Abstract
UNLABELLED Study Type--Therapy (cohort) Level of Evidence 2a. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Despite expanding treatment options for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), therapies with long response duration remain intangible due to prostate cancer cells' natural ability to develop iterative resistance. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling has been shown to play a critical role in CRPC and its expression is regulated by the PI3K-Akt pathway. Thus inhibition of AR signalling and PI3K-Akt-mTOR (a downstream mediator of the PI3K-Akt pathway) pathway is a logical combination in CRPC and we report a phase II trial of RAD001 and bicalutamide. Our study is the first clinical trial report of an AR inhibitor of PI3K-Akt-mTOR. The AR pathway and the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway are two of the most relevant growth pathway for CRPC. Despite low efficacy results from our trial there will be significant interest in the field for these data (dose, schedule, response, toxicity, trial design) as newer generations of both AR inhibitors and PI3K-Akt-mTOR inhibitors are in development and likely will be tested in combination in CRPC. OBJECTIVES • To determine best overall response and duration of response of RAD001, a selective inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, in combination with bicalutamide in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). • To characterize the toxicity profile of RAD001 in combination with bicalutamide in patients with CRPC. PATIENTS AND METHODS • A phase II study was conducted to explore the efficacy and tolerability of RAD001 (10 mg daily) in combination with bicalutamide (50 mg daily) in men with progressive CRPC. • The primary endpoint was a composite of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and measurable disease response by standard criteria. • This single-stage trial with a sample size of 38 eligible patients provided 90% power to differentiate a response rate of ≥ 40% from a response rate of ≤ 20%, as expected for bicalutamide alone (α= 0.10, power = 0.90). RESULTS • In total, 36 men were enrolled, with a median (range) age of 68 (60-72) years and median (range) baseline PSA level of 22.2 (8.4-121.3) ng/mL, and 89% had metastatic disease. • There were 31 (86%) patients had previously used bicalutamide for a median duration of 7.4 months. • There were two patients with a confirmed PSA level decline ≥ 50%. • The median (interquartile range) time to progression was 8.7 (7.9-15.9) weeks. • The most common toxicity was grade 1/2 mucositis, which was observed in 20 (56%) patients. CONCLUSION • The combination of RAD001 and bicalutamide in men with CRPC was well tolerated but had low activity and failed to achieve the primary endpoint of improved response compared to the results previously achieved for bicalutamide alone in this population.
