Abstract
INTRODUCTION Second-generation androgen receptor axis-targeting (ARAT) agents have become a standard treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC), however much remains unknown about the potential cardiovascular toxicities. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library for randomized controlled trials of patients receiving ARAT agents for PC from inception to March 2023. The odds ratios (ORs) of all-grade and high-grade cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) for patients treated with and without ARAT agents were pooled for meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses based on PC type and treatment regimen were conducted. RESULTS A total of 15 double-blind placebo-controlled phase 3 trials comprising 15,842 patients were included. In addition to hot flush and hypertension of any degree of severity, inclusion of ARAT agents was associated with a significantly higher risk of acute myocardial infarction (OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.05-3.68, P = .04), myocardial infarction (OR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.27-4.66, P = .007) and angina pectoris (OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.00-4.02, P = .05). With regard to individual ARAT agents, enzalutamide was associated with a significantly higher risk of acute myocardial infarction (OR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.17-8.28, P = .02), coronary artery disease (OR: 8.33, 95% CI: 1.54-44.95, P = .01), and high-grade hypertension (OR: 4.94, 95% CI: 1.11-22.06, P = .04), while abiraterone and apalutamide were associated with a significantly higher risk of angina pectoris (OR: 5.48, 95% CI: 1.23-24.33, P = .03) and myocardial infarction (OR: 7.00, 95% CI: 1.60-30.62, P = .01), respectively. CONCLUSION The inclusion of ARAT agents was associated with a significantly higher risk of several CVAEs. Clinicians should remain vigilant, both in pre-treatment screening and monitoring for clinical symptoms and signs, when considering ARAT agent particularly for patients with pre-existing risk factors.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-including apoptotic bodies, microvesicles, and exosomes-are released by almost all cell types and contain molecular footprints from their cell of origin, including lipids, proteins, metabolites, RNA, and DNA. They have been successfully isolated from blood, urine, semen, and other body fluids. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the predictive value of EVs in prostate and renal cancer. We also describe the findings supporting the use of EVs from liquid biopsies in stratifying high-risk prostate/kidney cancer and advanced disease, such as castration-resistant (CRPC) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) as well as metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Assays based on EVs isolated from urine and blood have the potential to serve as highly sensitive diagnostic studies as well as predictive measures of tumor recurrence in patients with prostate and renal cancers. Overall, we discuss the biogenesis, isolation, liquid-biopsy, and therapeutic applications of EVs in CRPC, NEPC, and RCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Stress-induced adrenergic signaling can suppress the immune system. In animal models, pharmacological beta-blockade stimulates CD8 + T-cell activity and improves clinical activity of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in inhibiting tumor growth. Herein, we investigated the effect of BB on clinical outcomes of patients receiving ICB in advanced solid tumors. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with solid tumors treated with ICB at our institution from January 1, 2011 to April 28, 2017. The primary clinical outcome was disease control. Secondary clinical outcomes were overall survival (OS), and duration of therapy (DoT). The primary predictor was use of BB. Association between disease control status and BB use was assessed in univariable and multivariable logistic regression. OS was calculated using hazard ratios of BB-recipient patients vs. BB non-recipient patients via Cox proportional hazards regression models. All tests were two-sided at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS Of 339 identified patients receiving ICB, 109 (32%) also received BB. In covariate-adjusted analysis, odds of disease control were significantly higher among BB recipients compared to BB-non-recipients (2.79; [1.54-5.03]; P = 0.001). While we did not observe significant association of OS with the use of BB overall, significant association with better OS was observed for the urothelial carcinoma cohort (HR: 0.24; [0.09, 0.62]; P = 0.0031). CONCLUSIONS Concurrent use of BB may enhance the clinical activity of ICB and influence overall survival, particularly in patients with urothelial carcinoma. Our findings warrant further investigation to understand the interaction of beta adrenergic signaling and antitumor immune activity and explore a combination strategy.

Abstract
Transgender individuals represent 0.55% of the US population, equivalent to 1.4 million transgender adults. In transgender women, feminisation can include a number of medical and surgical interventions. The main goal is to deprive the phenotypically masculine body of androgens and simultaneously provide oestrogen therapy for feminisation. In gender-confirming surgery (GCS) for transgender females, the prostate is usually not removed. Due to limitations of existing cohort studies, the true incidence of prostate cancer in transgender females is unknown but is thought to be less than the incidence among cis-gender males. It is unclear how prostate cancer develops in androgen-deprived conditions in these patients. Six out of eleven case reports in the literature presented with metastatic disease. It is thought that androgen receptor-mediated mechanisms or tumour-promoting effects of oestrogen may be responsible. Due to the low incidence of prostate cancer identified in transgender women, there is little evidence to drive specific screening recommendations in this patient subpopulation. The treatment of early and locally advanced prostate cancer in these patients warrants an individualised thoughtful approach with input from patients' reconstructive surgeons. Both surgical and radiation treatment for prostate cancer in these patients can profoundly impact the patient's quality of life. In this review, we discuss the evidence surrounding screening and treatment of prostate cancer in transgender women and consider the current gaps in our knowledge in providing evidence-based guidance at the molecular, genomic and epidemiological level, for clinical decision-making in the management of these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the phase III SPARC trial, satraplatin, an oral platinum analogue, demonstrated anticancer activity in men with metastatic castration–resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Repeat biopsies are uncommon in mCRPC, limiting the feasibility of tissue–based biomarkers. This phase II study sought to evaluate the feasibility and utility of blood–based biomarkers to identify platinum–sensitive mCRPC.
Methods
Patients with mCRPC who had progressed on docetaxel were enrolled at a single center from 2011 to 2013. Subjects received satraplatin 80 mg/m2 by mouth daily on days 1-5 and prednisone 5 mg PO twice daily, on a 35-day cycle. Serial peripheral blood samples were collected for biomarker assessment.
Results
Thirteen docetaxel-refractory mCRPC patients were enrolled, with a median age of 69 years (range 54-77 years) and median PSA of 71.7 ng/mL (range 0.04-3057). Four of 13 patients (31%) responded to satraplatin (defined as a PSA decline of ≥30%). Responders demonstrated improved time to disease progression (206 vs. 35 days, HR 0.26, 95% CI, 0.02-0.24, P = .003). A 6-gene peripheral blood RNA signature and serum tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels were assessed as biomarkers, but neither was significantly associated with response to satraplatin.
Conclusion
In this small series, one-third of mCRPC patients responded to platinum–based chemotherapy. Peripheral blood biomarker measurement is feasible in mCRPC, though the biomarkers we investigated were not associated with platinum response. Other biomarkers, such as DNA damage repair mutations, should be evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) remains limited to a subset of patients and predictive biomarkers of response remains an unmet need, limiting our ability to provide precision medicine. Using real-world data, we aimed to identify potential clinical prognosticators of ICI response in solid tumor patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of all solid tumor patients treated with ICIs at the Mount Sinai Hospital between January 2011 and April 2017. Predictors assessed included demographics, performance status, co-morbidities, family history of cancer, smoking status, cancer type, metastatic pattern, and type of ICI. Outcomes evaluated include progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to test the association of predictors with outcomes. RESULTS We identified 297 ICI-treated patients with diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (N = 81, 27.3%), melanoma (N = 73, 24.6%), hepatocellular carcinoma (N = 51, 17.2%), urothelial carcinoma (N = 51, 17.2%), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (N = 23, 7.7%), and renal cell carcinoma (N = 18, 6.1%). In multivariable analysis, good performance status of ECOG ≤ 2 (PFS, ORR, DCR and OS) and family history of cancer (ORR and DCR) associated with improved ICI response. Bone metastasis was associated with worse outcomes (PFS, ORR, and DCR). CONCLUSIONS Mechanisms underlying the clinical predictors of response observed in this real-world analysis, such as genetic variants and bone metastasis-tumor microenvironment, warrant further exploration in larger studies incorporating translational endpoints. Consistently positive clinical correlates may help inform patient stratification when considering ICI therapy.

Abstract
e16520 Background: Adrenergic receptors (ADR) have a well-established role in kidney physiology, suggesting a possible role of ADR signaling in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Preclinical studies have shown a possible anti-tumor effect of both alpha-adrenergic blockers (AB) and beta-adrenergic blockers (BB) on renal cancer cells. However, the literature is conflicting regarding the effect on clinical outcomes. In addition, there is no comprehensive analysis of what role these medications have specifically in RCC patients with metastatic disease. In this single health system retrospective study, we evaluate the effect of AB or BB prescription on cancer-specific outcomes in patients with metastatic RCC. Methods: Clinical data was abstracted from the electronic health record and the institutional cancer registry at The Mount Sinai Health System to include patients with RCC diagnosed with metastatic disease ( de novo or relapsed) between 2016-2020. Follow up data was recorded until a data lock of 4/1/2021. Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate the association of AB and BB prescription on overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort and progression free survival (PFS) for patients who received any first line therapy. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate association of these medications with overall response rate (ORR) of first line therapies with available data on initial response. Analyses were controlled for clinical risk factors including age at diagnosis, sex, race, treatment plan including immunotherapy, and medical history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, or heart failure. Data was analyzed using R version 4.1.0. Results: 133 patients were identified for inclusion in the study. 61% of cases are de novo metastatic and 39% are relapsed from previously resected disease. 71% are clear cell histology, 3.8 % are papillary, and the rest are unspecified/other. 84 patients (63%) received at least a 1st line systemic therapy. AB or BB prescription alone is not associated with OS, PFS, or ORR. However, prescription of both AB and BB is associated with worse OS (HR 2.94 95% CI 1.13-7.68), worse PFS (HR 7.70 95% CI 1.80-33.0), and decreased odds of responding to 1st line therapy (OR 0.06 95% CI 0.00-0.55) on multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The data suggests that the concurrent use of both an AB and BB in patients with metastatic RCC leads to worse clinical outcomes. What remains unclear is if there is a negative synergistic effect of these medications on RCC pathophysiology or if the prescription of these medications is associated with another negative confounding clinical factor. Since these medications are commonly utilized for cardiovascular disease, multivariate analyses attempted to control for these comorbidities. Future studies may add to this data by cataloging the severity of heart failure and doses of AB and BB medications used in a RCC cohort.

Abstract
PURPOSE Data quality and standardization remain a challenge when analyzing real-world clinical data. We built a clinical research database, using machine learning and natural learning processing, and investigated factors influencing testosterone recovery (T-recovery) in patients with localized prostate cancer (LPC) after initial androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). METHODS Medication and treatment-associated dates missing in structured tables were extracted from patient notes using ConceptMapper, an automated data extraction tool, standardized and curated in Sema4 clinical research database. ADT usage duration was evaluated, and T-recovery in patients with LPC was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. We assessed the prognostic value of post-ADT T-recovery with prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival and failure-free survival. RESULTS In total, 4,125 of 30,832 (13.4%) patients with prostate cancer had medication exclusively from notes with high precision and recall, F1 score ≥ 0.95. Association of dates with medication usage had a F1 score of 0.76. ADT duration estimation had higher accuracy combining information from notes to tables from electronic medical record (70% v 45%). Baseline testosterone was the strongest predictor of T-recovery in these patients. Patients with a baseline testosterone ≥ 300 ng/dL recovered in 9.79 versus 38 months for patients with baseline testosterone < 300 ng/dL (P < .0001). Shorter prostate-specific antigen progression-free interval was observed for patients with T-recovery (≥ 300 ng/dL) at 6 months after ADT cessation compared with patients without T-recovery (< 300 ng/dL; 13.7 v 25.1 months; P = .055). CONCLUSION We augmented structured electronic medical record data with data extracted from notes and improved the accuracy of medication information for patients. ADT exposure and T-recovery in patients with LPC produced results consistent with the literature and clinical experience and illustrates the power of applying machine learning methods to enhance the quality of real-world evidence in answering clinically relevant questions.

Abstract
112 Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly common in clinical practice, but its clinical utility may depend on the availability of sequencing-directed therapies (SDT). There were no FDA-approved SDTs in prostate cancer (PCa) until 2020, when PARP inhibitors olaparib and rucaparib were approved for tumors bearing alterations in certain homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. We assessed the clinical utility of NGS in PCa before and after the approval of these agents in a single academic medical center. Methods: This was a retrospective single-center study including all PCa patients seen at Mount Sinai Hospital (New York, NY) between 2018–2021 who received NGS via the 161-gene Sema4 Signal Solid Tumor Panel. Clinical data were extracted from the Mount Sinai electronic medical record using a proprietary automated pipeline with limited manual curation (Sema4 PRODB). The primary outcome was clinical utility in metastatic PCa, defined as the proportion of metastatic PCa patients who received SDT. Secondary outcomes included time-to-next-treatment (TTNT, defined as time from SDT start to the start of next systemic therapy) and the proportion of patients with clinically actionable (as of 9/2021) alterations, defined as either Tier 1 (associated with FDA-approved treatments in prostate cancer) or Tier 2 (associated with either off-label or investigational agents). Results: The cohort consisted of 332 PCa patients; 51% (N = 170) were sequenced in 2020 or later. The median age at diagnosis was 65 (IQR 12). The most advanced stage documented was localized for 39% (N = 129) and metastatic for 61% (N = 203). Overall, 167 actionable alterations were identified in 125 patients (38% of cohort). Of the actionable alterations, 31% (N = 51) were Tier 1 and 69% (N = 116) were Tier 2. Of the 44 patients with Tier 1 alterations, 8 (18%) received SDT (all received olaparib). The proportion of metastatic patients receiving olaparib increased from 1% (2/145) before 2020 to 10% (6/58) during or after 2020 (p = 0.008). Of the 36 patients not receiving olaparib: 20 were sequenced before FDA approval and were treated with an alternative systemic therapy; 8 had localized disease and were not eligible; 8 had limited follow-up or unknown treatment status. For those who received olaparib, median TTNT was 5 months. Conclusions: In this single-center retrospective cohort, clinical utility of NGS was linked to treatment landscape. Increases in NGS test volume and olaparib use coincided with the approval of PARP inhibitors for patients with HRR-mutated prostate cancers. Notably, NGS was used to match patients to off-label/ investigational olaparib before its FDA approval.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for many cancer types. The treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has especially evolved in recent years, from cytokine-based immunotherapies to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Although clinical benefit from immunotherapy is limited to a subset of patients, many combination-based approaches have led to improved outcomes. The success of such approaches is a direct result of the tumor immunology knowledge accrued regarding the RCC microenvironment, which, while highly immunogenic, demonstrates many unique characteristics. Ongoing translational work has elucidated some of the mechanisms of response, as well as primary and secondary resistance, to immunotherapy. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the RCC immunophenotype with a specific focus on how preclinical and clinical data are shaping the future of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has become an unprecedented global health emergency, with fatal outcomes among adults of all ages throughout the world. There is a high incidence of infection and mortality among cancer patients with evidence to support that patients diagnosed with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 have an increased likelihood of a poor outcome. Clinically relevant changes imposed as a result of the pandemic, are either primary, due to changes in timing or therapeutic modality; or secondary, due to altered cooperative effects on disease progression or therapeutic outcomes. However, studies on the clinical management of patients with genitourinary cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic are limited and do little to differentiate primary or secondary impacts of COVID-19. Here, we provide a review of the epidemiology and biological consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in GU cancer patients as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the diagnosis and management of these patients, and the use and development of novel and innovative diagnostic tests, therapies, and technology. This article also discusses the biomedical advances to control the virus and evolving challenges in the management of prostate, bladder, kidney, testicular, and penile cancers at all stages of the patient journey during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (MaRCC) Registry provides prospective data on real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients with mRCC and no prior systemic therapy were enrolled at academic and community sites. End of study data collection was in March 2019. Outcomes included overall survival (OS). A survey of treating physicians assessed reasons for treatment initiations and discontinuations. RESULTS Overall, 376 patients with mRCC initiated first-line therapy; 171 (45.5%) received pazopanib, 75 (19.9%) sunitinib, and 74 (19.7%) participated in a clinical trial. Median (95% confidence interval) OS was longest in the clinical trial group (50.3 [35.8-not reached] months) versus pazopanib (39.0 [29.7-50.9] months) and sunitinib 26.2 [19.9-61.5] months). Non-clear cell RCC (21.5% of patients) was associated with worse median OS than clear cell RCC (18.0 vs. 47.3 months). Differences in baseline characteristics, treatment starting dose, and relative dose exposure among treatment groups suggest selection bias. Survey results revealed a de-emphasis on quality of life, toxicity, and patient preference compared with efficacy in treatment selection. CONCLUSION The MaRCC Registry gives insights into real-world first-line treatment selection, outcomes, and physician rationale regarding initial treatment selection prior to the immunotherapy era. Differences in outcomes between clinical trial and off-study patients reflect the difficulty in translating trial results to real-world patients, and emphasize the need to broaden clinical trial eligibility. Physician emphasis on efficacy over quality of life and toxicity suggests more data and education are needed regarding these endpoints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test whether body mass index (BMI) amongst patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is associated with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival. METHODS Individual patient data from 1577 men with mCRPC treated with docetaxel and prednisone from the control arms of ASCENT2, VENICE, and MAINSAIL were considered. The role of BMI on survival outcomes was investigated both as a continuous and categorical variable (≤24.9 vs. 25-29.9 vs. ≥30 km/m2). BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 was considered obese. Analyses were adjusted for age, PSA, ECOG performance status, number of metastases and prior treatment. The Cox semi-proportional hazard model was used to predict OS, whereas competing risks regression was used for predicting cancer-specific mortality (CSM). To exclude any possible effect attributable to higher doses of chemotherapy (titrated according to body-surface area), we checked for eventual interactions between BMI and chemotherapy dose (both as continuous-continuous and categorical-continuous interactions). RESULTS The median (IQR) age for the patient population was 69 (63,74) years with a median (IQR) BMI of 28 (25-31) kg/m2. Median follow-up for survivors was 12 months. Of the 1577 patients included, 655 were deceased by the end of the studies. Regarding OS, BMI emerged as a protective factor both as a continuous variable (HR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.94, 0.99; p = 0.015) and as a categorical variable (obesity: HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.53, 0.96; p = 0.027, relatively to normal weight). The protective effect of high BMI on CSM was confirmed both as a continuous (SHR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.91, 0.98; p = 0.002) and as a categorical variable (obesity SHR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.93; p = 0.018). No interaction was detected between the BMI categories and the docetaxel dose at any level in our analyses (all p » 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obese patients with mCRPC had better cancer-specific and overall survival as compared to overweight and normal weight patients. The protective effect of BMI was not related to receiving higher chemotherapy doses. Further studies aimed at elucidating the biological mechanism behind this effect are warranted.

Abstract
e17027 Background: The standard mCRPC treatment paradigm, with sequential single agents administered until resistance, may be limited due to heterogenous tumors comprised of clones differentially sensitive to available therapies. An alternative approach involves rapid cycling of non-cross resistant therapies in an attempt to efficiently eradicate sensitive clones, mitigate resistance, and minimize toxicity. Methods: Patients with mCRPC received 3 consecutive treatment modules, each lasting 12 weeks: 1. abiraterone acetate 1000 mg PO daily + prednisone 5 mg PO BID; 2. cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 IV + carboplatin AUC 4 IV q3 weeks; 3. enzalutamide 160 mg PO daily + radium-223 55 kBq/kg IV q4 weeks (in those with bone metastases). Upon completion of the 9-month study regimen, patients continued ADT alone. The primary endpoint is time to progression (TTP). A sample size of 33 patients will provide 90% power for a one-sided test at the 5% level to detect increase in TTP compared with historical control. Secondary endpoints include PSA response (>90%, >50%) with each module, and changes to alkaline phosphatase levels. Results: From 3/2017 to 11/2020, 40 mCRPC patients were enrolled. As of the data cut-off of 1/03/2021, 31 patients have completed the 9-month study regimen and are evaluable for TTP analysis. With a median follow up of 20.7 months, the median time to PSA progression is 3.8 months (95%CI; 2.1-6.3 mo). PSA declines >90% from baseline was achieved in 35.5% after module 1, 41.9% after module 2, 58.1% after module 3. Of the patients with bone metastasis and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels at baseline (9/31), 78% had normalization of alkaline phosphatase upon completion of study regimen. Five of 31 patients (16%) were able to be maintained on ADT alone for over a year during the post-study surveillance period: three patients were subsequently restarted on a mCRPC agent at time of disease progression (14.4 mo, 17.0 mo, 24.8 mo), two patients demonstrate sustained disease control and remain on ADT alone (16.3+ mo, 21.5+ mo). Shared baseline clinical features of the 5 patients with prolonged control include PSA of <10 ng/mL and normal alkaline phosphatase levels (< 126 IU/L); Gleason score and presence of bone and nodal metastases varied. Conclusions: Treatment of mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling non-cross resistant regimen is feasible and a subset of patients achieve prolonged disease control on ADT alone after completion of study treatment. Rapid cycling of available CRPC therapies may eliminate castration-resistant clones in a subset of patients, a concept warranting further preclinical and clinical evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT02903160. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a valuable prognostic and predictive biomarker in prostate cancer; however, the significance of PSA at or near the time of death is not well understood. This study aimed to characterize the significance of PSA at death in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS The Mount Sinai Genitourinary Cancer Biorepository, an institutional review board-approved, single-institution database containing all consented genitourinary cancer patients seen between 2010 and 2018, was used to identify and stratify patients into the following cohorts based on their PSA at or near death: <100 ng/mL, 100-1000 ng/mL, and >1000 ng/mL. Analyses were performed to assess clinical characteristics of disease, treatment response, and outcomes. RESULTS We identified 1097 patients with prostate cancer, and 101 were confirmed to be deceased following a diagnosis of mCRPC. In patients with mCRPC, cohorts of higher PSA level at death were associated with lower Gleason score at diagnosis and a trend toward longer time to mCRPC and longer time from diagnosis to death, despite a higher burden of disease at death. Conversely, subgroup analysis of PSA < 10 ng/mL at death was associated with lower rates of imaging within 6 months of death, lower treatment rate, and worse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Cohorts of different PSA levels at death in mCRPC patients showed distinct patterns of disease characteristics and clinical outcomes, likely due to the underlying molecular phenotype differences. Imaging for the patient population with very low PSA levels may be underutilized and should be considered more routinely.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are being increasingly used across cancer types. Emergency room (ER) and inpatient (IP) care, common in patients with cancer, remain poorly defined in this specific population, and risk factors for such care are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed charts for patients with solid tumors who received >1 ICI dose at 1 of 2 sites from January 1, 2011 to April 28, 2017. Demographics, medical history, cancer diagnosis/therapy/toxicity details, and outcomes were recorded. Descriptive data detailing ER/IP care at the 2 associated hospitals during ICI therapy (from first dose to 3 mo after last dose) were collected. The Fisher exact test and multivariate regression analysis was used to study differences between patients with versus without ER/IP care during ICI treatment. RESULTS Among 345 patients studied, 50% had at least 1 ER visit during ICI treatment and 43% had at least 1 IP admission. Six percent of ER/IP visits eventually required intensive care. A total of 12% of ER/IP visits were associated with suspected or confirmed immune-related adverse events. Predictors of ER care were African-American race (odds ratio [OR]: 3.83, P=0.001), Hispanic ethnicity (OR: 3.12, P=0.007), and coronary artery disease (OR: 2.43, P=0.006). Predictors of IP care were African-American race (OR: 2.38, P=0.024), Hispanic ethnicity (OR: 2.29, P=0.045), chronic kidney disease (OR: 3.89, P=0.006), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker medication use (OR: 0.44, P=0.009), and liver metastasis (OR: 2.32, P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Understanding demographic and clinical risk factors for ER/IP care among patients on ICIs can help highlight disparities, prospectively identify high-risk patients, and inform preventive programs aimed at reducing such care.

Abstract
TPS174 Background: Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are emerging as a protein-based therapeutic strategy for directing T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity in a tumor antigen-specific manner, typically by binding to both tumor antigen and the CD3 receptor on T-cells. REGN5678 is a human IgG4-based, first-in-class costimulatory bsAb designed to target prostate tumors by bridging prostate specific membrane antigen expressing tumor cells with the costimulatory receptor, CD28, on T-cells, and providing amplified T-cell receptor-CD3 complex-mediated T-cell activation within the tumor through the activation of CD28 signaling. At the tumor site, REGN5678 may synergize with PD-1 inhibitors. In mouse models, REGN5678 in combination with a PD-1 antibody has improved anti-tumor activity compared with either therapy alone (Waite JC et al. Sci Transl Med. 2020:12;549). Methods: This is an open label, Phase I/II, first-in-human study evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-tumor activity of REGN5678 alone and in combination with cemiplimab in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who progressed after prior therapy (NCT03972657). For inclusion, patients must have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy (in addition to androgen deprivation therapy) approved for metastatic and/or castration-resistant disease including a second-generation anti-androgen therapy. REGN5678 is administered weekly; cemiplimab (350 mg) is administered once every 3 weeks. During dose escalation, a 3-week safety lead-in of REGN5678 monotherapy will be administered prior to addition of cemiplimab. Study therapies are administered until disease progression, intolerable adverse events, withdrawal of consent, or study withdrawal criterion is met. The primary objectives in dose escalation are to evaluate safety, tolerability, and PK of REGN5678 alone and in combination with cemiplimab. Expansion cohort(s) will be enrolled once a maximum-tolerated REGN5678/cemiplimab dose is reached, or if a recommended Phase 2 dose or doses have been determined. During the expansion phase, the primary objective is to assess clinical activity, as measured by objective response rate of REGN5678 in combination with cemiplimab per modified Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria. At selected sites, prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT scans are performed at baseline and select time points on study. This study is currently open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03972657.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although pharmacist-driven patient education has been shown to increase adherence, reduce medication errors, and lower 30-day readmission rates, the data in the ambulatory oncology setting is limited. This pilot quality initiative study was conducted from June 1, 2018, to November 15, 2018, in the ambulatory cancer center affiliated with The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY, to determine the impact of pharmacist counseling on chemotherapy regimens. METHODS AND MATERIALS English-speaking patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who were newly started on chemotherapy were selected for this study. They received a pharmacist-led education session regarding their medications, potential side effects, and how to manage them at home. After each session, they completed a 5-question survey on a 5-point Likert-scale about how they felt before and after speaking with a pharmacist. Survey results were analyzed by median scores and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS Of the 96 patients who were counseled, 71 patients were included in this analysis. The median score increased from 3 to 5 for the understanding of their chemotherapy regimen and side effects (questions 1 and 2), 3 to 4.5 for knowledge about interactions with their oral chemotherapy (question 3), 4 to 5 for overall experience in the cancer center (question 5). The median score for anxiety level was unchanged at 3 (question 4). CONCLUSION This survey-based study demonstrated the benefit of a pharmacist-led counseling session. An interdisciplinary approach involving the integration of oncology pharmacists in patient education can greatly impact the quality of care for oncology patients.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE DNA repair gene aberrations occur in 20% to 30% of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and some of these aberrations have been associated with sensitivity to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition platinum-based treatments. However, previous trials assessing platinum-based treatments in patients with CRPC have mostly included a biomarker-unselected population; therefore, efficacy in these patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE To characterize the antitumor activity of platinum-based therapies in men with CRPC with or without DNA repair gene alterations. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this case series, data from 508 patients with CRPC treated with platinum-based therapy were collected from 25 academic centers from 12 countries worldwide. Patients were grouped by status of DNA repair gene aberrations (ie, cohort 1, present; cohort 2, not detected; and cohort 3, not tested). Data were collected from January 1986 to December 2018. Data analysis was performed in 2019, with data closure in April 2019. EXPOSURE Treatment with platinum-based compounds either as monotherapy or combination therapy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary end points were as follows: (1) antitumor activity of platinum-based therapy, defined as a decrease in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of at least 50% and/or radiological soft tissue response in patients with measurable disease and (2) the association of response with the presence or absence of DNA repair gene aberrations. RESULTS A total of 508 men with a median (range) age of 61 (27-88) years were included in this analysis. DNA repair gene aberrations were present in 80 patients (14.7%; cohort 1), absent in 98 (19.3%; cohort 2), and not tested in 330 (65.0%; cohort 3). Of 408 patients who received platinum-based combination therapy, 338 patients (82.8%) received docetaxel, paclitaxel, or etoposide, and 70 (17.2%) received platinum-based combination treatment with another partner. A PSA level decrease of at least 50% was seen in 33 patients (47.1%) in cohort 1 and 26 (36.1%) in cohort 2 (P = .20). In evaluable patients, soft tissue responses were documented in 28 of 58 patients (48.3%) in cohort 1 and 21 of 67 (31.3%) in cohort 2 (P = .07). In the subgroup of 44 patients with BRCA2 gene alterations, PSA level decreases of at least 50% were documented in 23 patients (63.9%) and soft tissue responses in 17 of 34 patients (50.0%) with evaluable disease. In cohort 3, PSA level decreases of at least 50% and soft tissue responses were documented in 81 of 284 patients (28.5%) and 38 of 185 patients (20.5%) with evaluable disease, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, platinum-based treatment was associated with relevant antitumor activity in a biomarker-positive population of patients with advanced prostate cancer with DNA repair gene aberrations. The findings of this study suggest that platinum-based treatment may be considered an option for these patients.

Abstract
e15142 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly utilized across cancer types. Risk factors for emergency room (ER) and inpatient (IP) care in this patient (pt) population remain poorly defined. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts for pts with (w/) advanced solid tumors who received more than 1 ICI dose at Mount Sinai from 1/1/11 – 4/28/17. Demographics, medical history, cancer diagnosis and therapy (tx) details, and outcomes were recorded. Descriptive data detailing ER/IP care during ICI tx (from first dose to 3 months after last dose) were collected. Fisher’s exact test and multivariable regression analyses were used to study differences between pts w/ versus w/out ER/IP care during ICI tx. Significance level was set at 0.05 for all tests. Results: 345 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. Mean age was 64 years. Common tumor types were non-small cell lung cancer (n = 87), melanoma (n = 78), hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 53), and urothelial carcinoma (n = 38). 83% of patients had metastatic disease. Median duration of ICI tx was 2 months. During ICI tx, 50% received ER care and 43% received IP care, resulting in 369 total episodes of ER and/or IP care. 12% of episodes were attributed to ICI toxicity; 6% required intensive care. Median time to ER/IP care was 111 days. Median IP length of stay was 2 days. Several factors were found to be significant predictors of risk for ER or IP care on multivariable analysis (Table). African-American race and Hispanic ethnicity were each predictive of increased risk for both ER and IP care. Conclusions: ER/IP care is common among pts w/ advanced solid tumors on ICI tx. Understanding demographic and clinical risk factors can help prospectively identify higher-risk pts to inform preventive programs aimed at reducing such care. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e17105 Background: The success of randomized phase III therapeutic trials (RP3TT) to reach their primary endpoint is critical given the enormous resources required to conduct such studies. In an era of accelerated therapeutic development in advanced kidney cancer, we aim to identify factors in such studies associated with a positive endpoint (PE) to better understand how to optimize trial design. Methods: Using PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov, we identified all published RP3TT in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma between 1/2007-9/2019. Studies were considered PE if the primary endpoint was reached, and negative endpoint (NE) if otherwise. Studies were categorized as either first line only (FLO) or second line and beyond (SLB), with adjuvant and consolidation therapy studies excluded. We collected components of study design and baseline patient characteristics and analyzed with multivariate logistic regression to evaluate the associations between each factor and PE RP3TT. Results: Of the 65 studies evaluated, only 22 RP3TT (14 FLO, 8 SLB) were found to have published data and were included, with 14 PE and 8 NE. For all studies, those with larger enrollment size (OR = 1.008, 95% CI [1.001-1.015], p = 0.021) and clear cell requirements (OR = 0.077, 95% CI [0.007-0.901], p = 0.041) were associated with PE. After adjusting for sample size, only larger enrollment size remained significant (OR = 1.007, 95% CI [1.001-1.014], p = 0.032). Other baseline patient demographic and clinical characteristic variables were not associated with PE RP3TT. Subgroup analysis of only FLO or SLB studies also did not yield any significant associations with PE RP3TT. Conclusions: Higher enrollment size was identified as factor associated with PE in RP3TT. Incomplete trial data reporting was evident, particularly in earlier studies. Further efforts are needed to better characterize factors in order to optimize clinical trial design in this disease.

Abstract
e15160 Background: Development (DV) of immune-related adverse events (IRAEs) to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) have been associated (asso/) with (w/) favorable treatment (tx) response, but heterogeneity in clinical presentation remains a concern. We aim to characterize the type, timing, and risk factors asso/ w/ IRAE DV in ICI-treated solid tumor (ST) patients (pts). Methods: The characteristics (char), tx course, and clinical outcomes of ST pts who received at least 2 ICI doses at our institution from 1/1/2011 to 4/29/2017 were reviewed. IRAEs were identified and graded (GR) based on CTCAE (v.4.0). Fisher’s exact test and multivariable regression analyses (MVA) were performed to study the differences between pts w/ versus without (w/o) IRAE. Results: Of the 344 pts identified, 111 pts (32%) had IRAE(s) w/ 145 total events (GR 1: 31%, GR 2: 57%, GR 3: 12%), of which 45% required systemic steroids (SS), 27% lead to ICI discontinuation (DC), and 17% lead to hospitalization (HP, Table). Median time to any IRAE was 12 weeks (w, range 1-149.5w). The most common IRAEs were endocrine (30%), gastrointestinal (GI, 28%), and skin (24%) related. On univariable analysis, antibiotic use, melanoma, and combination ICI use were asso/ w/ IRAE DV; melanoma remained significant on MRA (odds ratio, OR: 3.58 [1.68, 7.64], p = 0.0010). Pts w/ IRAE had higher disease control rate (complete/partial response + stable disease) than pts w/o IRAE (OR: 2.20 [1.29, 3.75], p = 0.0038). Conclusions: Our real-world data showed higher IRAE incidence when compared to those reported in trials, although no GR 4/5 IRAEs occurred. Melanoma was asso/ w/ IRAE DV on MRA, possibly due to the type, dose, and combination of ICIs. These findings warrant further investigation to better identify those at the highest risk to develop clinically significant IRAE. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e17575 Background: Optimal sequencing of therapeutic agents in mCRPC remains debated, but the standard approach is to treat with one agent until resistance is met before switching. PRINT explores the efficacy of treating mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling, non-cross reactive regimen as a way to more effectively treat intrinsic heterogeneity, delay or prevent drug resistance, and minimize treatment toxicity. Methods: Patients received treatment with 3 consecutive treatment modules, each lasting 12 weeks: 1. abiraterone acetate 1000 mg PO daily + prednisone 5 mg PO BID; 2. cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 IV + carboplatin AUC 4 IV q3 weeks; 3. enzalutamide 160 mg PO daily + radium-223 50 kBq/kg IV q4 weeks (in those with bone metastases). Upon completion of the 9-month regimen, patients are followed on ADT alone. Primary endpoint for the study is PSA or radiographic time to progression (TTP). Results: From 3/2017 to 1/2020, 38 of 40 planned men with mCRPC were enrolled, 28 patients have completed the 9-month study regimen and evaluable for TTP analysis. With median follow up of 54+ weeks, median time to PSA progression after therapy completion is 14.7+ weeks (95%CI; 5.5-23.9+ weeks). PSA response rates showed successive improvements with each sequential treatment module (Table). Eight patients (21.1%) continue on post-study surveillance with ADT alone, two of which have remained off any mCRPC agents for over a year (82+ weeks, 79+ weeks). In patients needing to restart therapy, experience with efficacy and tolerability of each agent while on the study, has helped inform subsequent mCRPC drug selection. The study regimen is well-tolerated, with few grade 3/4 AE’s: hyperglycemia (15.8%), diarrhea (5.3%), anemia (2.6%), fatigue (2.6%), neutropenia (2.6%), and thrombocytopenia (2.6%). Conclusions: Treatment of mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling non-cross reactive regimen demonstrates significant antitumor benefits, with potential for long-term suppression of disease. Further longitudinal follow up will determine if PRINT delays progression compared with standard approaches. Clinical trial information: NCT02903160 . [Table: see text]

Abstract
e15109 Background: Regulatory T cells play a key role in protecting kidney cells from ischemic injury. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) may increase the risk of acute kidney injury via inhibition of regulatory T cells [1, 2]. Prospective clinical trials have largely excluded patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD); thus, we have limited knowledge of the safety and efficacy of ICI in these patients. Herein, we hypothesize that patients with CKD receiving ICIs have worse clinical outcomes. Methods: This single-institution retrospective cohort study included adult patients with solid tumors who were treated with ICIs at The Mount Sinai Hospital between 2011 and 2017. Clinical endpoints [response to treatment, progression of disease (POD) on treatment, mortality] were compared between patients with and without CKD using multivariate logistic regression. Odds ratios were controlled for demographics, primary tumor type, presence of cardiovascular comorbidities, smoking status, incidence of renal adverse events, and a composite of stage of illness with indication for treatment [localized—neoadjuvant, localized—adjuvant, regionally advanced, metastatic disease]. Data were analyzed using R version 3.5.1 with the following packages: readr, dplyr, broom, lubridate, tableone. Results: 420 patients met inclusion criteria: 399 patients without CKD and 21 patients with CKD. Cohorts are well matched for demographics, smoking status, stage/indication for treatment. The CKD cohort has a higher proportion of patients with urothelial cancer compared to patients without CKD (33% vs 11%) as well as a higher proportion of patients with HTN (81% vs 53%), HF (14% vs 3%), and DM (48% vs 21%). There was no statistical difference in odds of response to treatment [OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.26-2.23], POD [OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.15-1.17], or mortality [OR 2.05, 95% CI 0.71-5.96] between the CKD and non-CKD cohort. Conclusions: The data suggest the presence of CKD is not associated with worse clinical outcomes in cancer patients treated with ICIs. As a small retrospective study, the conclusions are hypothesis-generating but support continued use of immunotherapy in CKD in clinical practice and the inclusion of patients with CKD in immunotherapy clinical trials to further clarify safety and efficacy.

Abstract
e15157 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely adopted for multiple indications across various malignancies. Despite the surge in their use, what occurs at radiographic progression (rPOD) remains poorly characterized. Herein, we describe patients at our institution that experienced rPOD on ICIs. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients (pts) with solid tumors that received at least 2 doses of ICI at our institution from 12/01/2010 to 04/25/2017. Patients’ demographic data, medical history, ICI course, and outcomes were recorded. Characteristics at rPOD included change in tumor size by metastatic site, symptoms, and hospital utilization. Additionally, we characterized outcomes of pts who continued ICIs after rPOD. Fisher’s exact test was performed to identify potential clinical predictors of hospitalization at rPOD. Results: Of the 361 evaluable pts, 238 experienced rPOD. In this cohort, the most common primary sites of disease are: genitourinary (24%), thoracic (24%), skin (21%), and hepatobiliary (15%). At rPOD, 71 (30%) patients were hospitalized within 30 days, with infection (27%) and pain (18%) being the most common reasons. Median survival of pts with hospitalization was 2 months (mos; 95% CI: 0-4), compared to 10 months (95% CI: 8-12) for those not hospitalized (p<0.001). Forty-six (19%) pts continued ICI treatment after rPOD (median duration = 2.8 mos), with eleven (5%) pts continuing for at least 6 months (median duration = 8 mos). Conclusions: In our study of real-world cancer pts treated with ICI, a higher than expected proportion was hospitalized within 30 days after rPOD, and this population had a worse overall survival compared to those that were not. A subgroup of pt with rPOD did not experience clinical progression, and thus treatment was continued, although further benefit was limited to a small subset. Further studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanism to identify those who benefits from treatment beyond rPOD. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e15068 Background: Stress-induced adrenergic signaling suppresses the immune system. In animal model systems, pharmacological beta-blockade stimulated CD8+ T-cell activity, and further, it improved clinical activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in inhibiting tumor growth. Herein, we investigate the effect of beta blockers (BB) on clinical outcomes of patients receiving ICI in advanced solid tumors. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with solid tumors treated with at least 2 doses of ICI at our institution from December 2010 to April 2017. The primary outcome was disease control rate (DCR), as defined by radiographic complete response, partial response, or stable disease, by RECIST 1.1 criteria. The primary predictor was use of BB (β1-selective BB vs. no BB; non-selective BB vs no BB). The primary predictive variable was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression model controlling for several parameters including patient demographics, co-morbidities, ECOG performance status, and tumor type and location of metastases. All tests were two-sided at the significant level of 0.05. Results: We identified 298 evaluable patients with median age of 66.5 (31-95). Of these patients, 200 (67%) did not use BB, 75 (25%) used β1-selective BB, and 23 (8%) used non-selective BB. In multivariate analysis, use of β1-selective BB was significantly associated with improved DCR compared to no BB (ORR 2.43, 95% CI 1.31-4.51, P = 0.005), while use of non-selective BB was not associated with improved DCR (ORR 1.71, 95% CI 0.65-1.47, P = 0.27). Conclusions: The concurrent use of BB may enhance the clinical activity of ICI, particularly β1-selective BB. Our findings warrant further investigation to understand the interaction of β1- and β2-adrenergic signaling and antitumor immune activity, and potentially explore a combination strategy of ICI and BB.

Abstract
e15097 Background: Improved immunotherapy (IO) outcomes have been observed among non-small cell lung cancer patients with a current or former smoking history. This is thought to be a consequence of increased immunogenic mutation burden among smoking-related cancers. We set out to explore the association between smoking status and immunotherapy outcomes in lung and other smoking-associated cancers. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 200 consecutive patients with advanced, smoking-associated solid tumor types, treated with single-agent anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy at a single center between July 2014 and February 2018. The primary outcome was overall survival from date of IO initiation. The secondary outcome was overall response, defined as radiographic complete response or partial response, by RECIST 1.1 criteria. The primary predictor was smoking status (former/current smoker vs. never smoker). The primary and secondary outcomes were analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and multivariable logistic regression models, respectively. Models were adjusted for age and sex, and stratified by cancer type. Results: The majority of patients were male (64%) with a history of smoking (72%); the average age was 67.1 ± 11.4 years. Cancer types represented were: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, N = 81), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, N = 41), urothelial carcinoma (BLCA, N = 39), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC, N = 21), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC, N = 18). Over a median follow-up of 11.3 months (range 0.5-53.2), there were 96 deaths and 27% of evaluable patients achieved radiographic response. Response was not evaluable in 27 patients. In multivariable regression analysis, smoking status was not significantly associated with overall survival nor overall response in any cancer type examined (Table). Conclusions: Smoking status was not associated with outcomes in our cohort of IO-treated patients with smoking-associated cancers, though sample size was limited. [Table: see text]

Abstract
75 Background: Docetaxel (D) is widely used in mCRPC, however its optimal use remains unclear in the current treatment (tx) landscape. Biomarkers to predict D toxicity may help inform tx selection. Methods: Through Project Data Sphere, we pooled patient (pt) data from the control arms of three frontline mCRPC trials: ASCENT2, VENICE, and MAINSAIL. Tx in each control arm consisted of D 75mg/m2 every 21 days + prednisone 5mg twice/day. The primary outcome was occurrence of toxicity-related D discontinuation (TRDD). Reasons for D discontinuation were recorded and demographic/clinical data were considered in a competing risks regression (CRR) to develop a model to predict TRDD. Cumulative incidence (CI) of TRDD was estimated after accounting for the occurrence of competing events (death or progression). This model was used to build a risk calculator to predict TRDD, the output of which was used in a classification and regression tree (CART) to identify 3 risk groups. Overall survival (OS) for the pooled cohort and for each risk group was assessed via the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. Results: 1568/1600 pts had complete data and were studied. 41.4% died from any cause during the trials; median follow-up for survivors was 12.1 months (mos). Median OS for the entire cohort was 21 mos. CRR yielded the following significant factors that were included in the predictive model and risk calculator: age, ECOG performance status, AST, bilirubin, use of analgesics, and diagnoses of diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Pooled CI of TRDD was 19% after accounting for competing events (death, 474 pts; progression, 59 pts) within 12 mos of starting tx. CART analysis defined the risk groups as low (model-derived TRDD risk ≤24%), intermediate (25-64%), and high (≥65%). In each risk group, probability of TRDD during tx was 14%, 58%, and 79%, and median OS was 24 mos, 20 mos, and 13 mos, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusions: Tx selection in mCRPC remains a challenge. Our model can help clinicians balance D toxicity and efficacy in order to make better-informed decisions.

Abstract
482 Background: Despite the widespread use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), patterns of disease progression (POD) are poorly characterized. We aim to define these characteristics in patients (pts) with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with ICIs. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of pts with advanced UC and RCC who received at least 2 ICI doses at our institution from 12/1/10 – 10/31/18. Demographics, medical history, ICI course, toxicity, and outcomes were recorded. Characteristics at the time of radiographic POD including location of metastases (mets), symptoms (sx), and hospitalization details were collected. Fisher’s exact test was used to study differences in pts with and without hospitalization at POD. Results: Of the 71 pts identified (UC N=53; RCC N=18), 59 pts had POD. At POD, 19 (32.2%) pts had new sites of disease involvement, while the remaining pts (N=40, 67.8%) had progression only at previously known sites of disease. Fourty-six (78.0%) pts had sx at POD: 1 sx (N=19, 32.2%), 2 sx (N=13, 22.0%), 3+ sx (N=14, 23.7%). Pain was the most common sx at POD (N=32, 54.2%), followed by loss of energy (N=18, 30.5%), and loss of appetite (N=14, 23.7%). Twenty-five (42.4%) pts were hospitalized at POD, most commonly for sepsis (N=8, 32%). No clinical factors were identified to predict for pts being hospitalized at POD. Conclusions: In our review of GU cancer patients on ICIs, a large proportion of pts reported clinical sx at POD, pain being the most frequent. Furthermore, a substantial number of pts were hospitalized at POD, most commonly for sepsis. Thus, further studies are warranted to confirm these findings, and potentially identify strategies to optimize patients’ quality-of-life and reduce rates of hospitalizations at the time of POD on ICIs.

Abstract
89 Background: Optimal sequencing of therapeutic agents in mCRPC remains debated, but the standard approach is to treat with one agent until resistance is met before switching. PRINT explores the efficacy of treating mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling, non-cross reactive regimen as a way to more effectively treat intrinsic heterogeneity, delay/prevent drug resistance, and minimize toxicity. Methods: Enrolled patients all received 3 consecutive treatment modules, each 12 weeks: 1. abiraterone acetate 1000 mg PO daily + prednisone 5 mg PO BID; 2. cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 IV + carboplatin AUC 4 IV q3 weeks; 3. enzalutamide 160 mg PO daily + radium-223 55 kBq/kg IV q4 weeks (in those with bone metastases). Upon completion of the 9-month regimen, patients are followed on ADT alone. Primary endpoint for the study is PSA or radiographic time to progression (TTP). Results: From 3/2017 to 10/2019, 35 of 40 planned men with mCRPC were enrolled, 25 patients have completed the 9-month study regimen and evaluable for TTP analysis. With median follow up of 52 weeks, median time to PSA progression after therapy completion is 15.5 weeks (95%CI; 5-26.1+ weeks). PSA response rates show successive improvements with each sequential treatment module (Table). Six (24%) patients continue on post-study surveillance with ADT alone, two of which have remained off any mCRPC agents for over a year (64+ weeks, 54+ weeks). In patients needing to restart therapy, experience with efficacy and tolerability of each agent while on the study, has helped inform subsequent mCRPC drug selection. The study regimen is well-tolerated, with few grade 3/4 AE’s: hyperglycemia (14.3%), diarrhea (5.7%), anemia (2.9%), fatigue (2.9%), neutropenia (2.9%), and thrombocytopenia (2.9%). Conclusions: Treatment of mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling non-cross reactive regimen demonstrates significant antitumor benefits, with potential for long-term suppression of disease. Further longitudinal follow up will determine if PRINT delays progression compared with standard approaches. Clinical trial information: NCT02903160. [Table: see text]

Abstract
480 Background: Immune related adverse events (IRAEs) with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy are well recognized, but predictors for IRAEs are not well defined. We aim to characterize the type, timing, and clinical risk factors associated with (w/) IRAEs in ICI-treated, advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients (pts). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of pts w/ advanced UC and RCC who received at least 2 ICI doses at our institution from 1/1/10 to 10/31/18. Patient baseline characteristics, treatment course, and clinical outcomes were collected. IRAEs were identified and graded (GR) based on CTCAE (v.4.0). Fisher’s exact test was used to study the differences between pts w/ versus without IRAE. Results: Of the 71 pts identified (UC n = 53; RCC n = 18), 27 pts (38%) developed IRAEs with 42 total events (38% GR1, 60% GR2, and 2% GR≥3) [table]. The majority of pts with dermatitis (70%) also developed a secondary, systemic IRAE(s). Systemic steroid (SS) was required in 17 events. The median time to any IRAE was 17.5 weeks (w, range 1-93). ECOG ≤ 1 predicted IRAE development (p < 0.05). No other characteristics (demographics, co-morbidities, metastatic sites, ICI type, line of therapy, and duration of ICI > 12w) were associated with IRAE. Conclusions: In our study, good function status is associated with the development of IRAE. Time to IRAE ranged from immediately to 93w after initiating ICI. Clinical validation with additional datasets will be needed to confirm these findings. [Table: see text]

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical trials are critical to informing cancer care but often are hampered by slow accrual and lack of generalizability because of poor geographic accessibility. We tested the feasibility of replacing onsite study visits with telemedicine visits in a prospective clinical trial. METHODS Castration-naïve patients with prostate cancer and a rising serum prostate-specific antigen after definitive local therapy were eligible. Patients were required to have a single onsite visit for enrollment. Study treatment consisted of oral metformin 850 mg daily for 1 month followed by 850 mg twice daily for 5 months. Telehealth video visits (televisits) were conducted monthly by using a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant smartphone application. The primary objective was to determine the feasibility of telemedicine-enabled study visits. Secondary objectives were defining safety, anticancer activity, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS Fifteen patients with a median age of 68 years (range, 57 to 83 years) and median one-way driving time to the study center of 71 minutes (range, 12 to 147 minutes) were enrolled. The patients completed 84 eligible televisits (completion rate, 100%; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1). Diarrhea was the most common adverse event but was limited to grade 1 in severity; a single patient experienced grade ≥ 3 adverse events. Seven patients (46.7%; 95% CI, 24.8% to 69.9%) had a ≤ 20% increase in prostate-specific antigen relative to baseline. Patients agreed or strongly agreed that they would participate in a telemedicine-enabled clinical trial in the future. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this interventional oncology clinical trial is the first to be conducted through telemedicine. Telemedicine-enabled trials are feasible and may overcome geographic barriers to trial participation. Metformin was generally well tolerated but associated with modest anticancer activity.

Abstract
310 Background: Optimal sequencing of approved therapeutic agents in mCRPC is not known. The standard approach, is to treat until resistance then switch. The PRINT trial explores the efficacy of treating mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling, non-cross reactive regimen as a way to more effectively treat an intrinsically heterogeneous disease, to delay or prevent drug resistance, and minimize treatment toxicity. Methods: Patients were treated with 3 consecutive treatment modules, each of 12 weeks' duration: 1. abiraterone acetate 1000 mg PO daily and prednisone 5 mg PO BID; 2. cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 IV and carboplatin AUC 4 IV q3 weeks; 3. enzalutamide 160 mg PO daily and radium-223 50 kBq/kg IV q4 weeks (in those with bone metastases). After completion of this 9 month regimen, patients are followed on ADT alone. Primary endpoint is PSA or radiographic time to disease progression. Results: From 3/2017 to 10/2018, 28 of 40 planned men with mCRPC were enrolled, 19 (67.9%) with bone metastases. PSA response rates ( > 90%/ > 50%), compared to baseline, following each treatment module: 1. 50%/78.6%; 2. 50%/92.7%; 3. 64.39%/92.7%. Currently, 14 patients have completed the study regimen with median follow up of 3.6 months, 8 of whom continue without any additional therapy. Of the patients evaluable for primary endpoint, median time to PSA progression is 96+ days (95% CI 82-110+ days). The regiment was well tolerated, grade 3/4 adverse effects include: hyperglycemia (17.9%), diarrhea (7.1%), anemia (3.6%), fatigue (3.6%), neutropenia (3.6%), thrombocytopenia (3.6%). Measurable response and molecular correlate data will be presented. Conclusions: Treatment of mCRPC with a rapidly-cycling non-cross reactive regimen is feasible, demonstrates significant antitumor benefits, and is well tolerated. Further follow up will determine if PRINT delays progression compared with standard approaches. Clinical trial information: NCT02903160.

Abstract
180 Background: Radium-223 (RA-223) is the first FDA approved targeted alpha therapy that significantly improves overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with symptomatic bone metastases. There is limited real world data describing RA-223 current use. Methods: A retrospective patient chart review was done of men who received at least 1 cycle of Ra-223 for mCRPC in 10 centers throughout the US (4 academic, 6 private practices). All pts had a minimum follow-up of 4 months, or placed in hospice or death. Descriptive analyses for clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were performed. Results: Among the 200 pts (mean age-73.6 years, mean Charlson comorbidity index-6.9) RA-223 was initiated on average 1.6 years from mCRPC diagnosis (first line use (1L)=38.5%, 2L=31.5% and ≥3L=30%). 78% completed 5-6 cycles of RA-223 with mean therapy duration of 4.2 months. Among all pts, 43% received RA-223 as monotherapy (no overlap with other mCRPC therapies) while 57% had combination therapy with either abiraterone or enzalutamide. Median OS following RA-223 initiation was 21.2 months (95% CI 19.6- 29.2). Table provides the RA-223 utilization by type of clinical practice. Conclusions: Utilization of RA-223 in this real world data set was distinct from clinical trial data. Most patients received RA-223 in combination with abiraterone or enzalutamide, therapies that were unavailable when the pilot trial was conducted. Median survival was 21.2 months. Real world use of RA-223 has evolved as newer agents have become FDA approved in bone-metastatic CRPC. Academic and community patterns of practice were more similar than distinct. [Table: see text]

Abstract
563 Background: Advances in diagnostic and treatment modalities have resulted in better outcomes in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients. With new therapies extending survival, we hypothesize that pattern of metastatic disease has evolved over time. We assessed the pattern of metastases as reported in baseline characteristics of prospective clinical trial patients between 1990 and 2018. Methods: This study identified all phase I-III mRCC therapeutic clinical trials published between January 1990 and July 2018 in PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov. Studies that included patients with other cancers or did not report metastases were excluded. Data was stratified to examine differences in three listed treatment eras for first-line therapy. Linear regression models were used to evaluate temporal trends and subcategorized as either First Line Only treatments (FLO) or Second-Line and Beyond (SLB). Results: 127 clinical trials encompassing 16534 subjects were identified. Between 1990 and 2018, rates of lymph node metastases in the FLO population increased significantly at 1.03% per year ( P < 0.05). The rate of lung and liver metastases in FLO showed a trend of increase at 0.48% and 0.04% per year, respectively, but decreased -0.73% and -0.15% per year in the SLB population. Moreover, rate of bone metastasis showed a trend of increase in both populations, particularly between the VEGF/TKI and Immunotherapy/TKI eras in the SLB population (18.89% to 29.19%). Conclusions: Notable changes were found in the pattern of metastasis in patients with mRCC. Increasing rate of bone metastasis may warrant dedicated bone imaging for routine staging in patients with mRCC. These evolving patterns may have important implications in treatment selection and prognosis in this patient population. [Table: see text]

Abstract
184 Background: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a valuable prognostic and predictive biomarker in prostate cancer (PC). Currently, the significance of PSA at death is undefined. In this single institution retrospective study, we aim to characterize the significance of PSA at death in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Methods: Using the Mount Sinai Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Biorepository, an IRB approved database containing all consented GU cancer patients seen between 2010-2018, we stratified patients into the following cohorts based on their PSA at death: < 10, 10-100, 100-1000, and > 1000 ng/ml. We excluded data of patients who had less than 3 visits to the Mount Sinai Hospital. A descriptive analysis was performed to assess clinical characteristics of disease, treatment response, and outcomes. Results: We identified 1097 PC patients, and 101 were found to be deceased following a diagnosis of mCRPC. Cohorts of higher PSA level at death were associated with: a lower Gleason score at diagnosis, a longer time to castration resistance, higher burden of metastatic disease at death (non-visceral and visceral), and longer OS in patients with mCRPC (see table). Conclusions: In this study, PSA at death is associated with several important clinical characteristics and outcome, including overall survival. These differences may be attributed to their underlying biologic behavior. These results are hypothesis generating, and larger studies will be needed to further assess the significance of these findings. [Table: see text]

Abstract
309 Background: High prostate specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis is associated with worse outcomes in patients (pt) with prostate cancer. However, treatment selection and clinical outcome in those diagnosed with an extremely high PSA (> 500 ng/ml) are not well characterized, and we aim to better study this unique pt population. Methods: Using the Mount Sinai Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Biorepository, an IRB approved database containing all consented GU cancer pts seen between 2010-2018, we identified 23 pts with a PSA >500 at prostate cancer diagnosis. Descriptive analysis was performed to capture clinical characteristics, treatment selection and response, and outcomes in this cohort. Results: The median age and PSA at diagnosis were 64 (54-85) and 1057 ng/ml (528-11,418). At presentation, 1 pt had localized versus 22 pts had metastatic disease, 3 were asymptomatic, and sites of metastasis included lymph nodes (LN) only (n=3), bone only (n=8), or LNs and bone (n=11). Pts were initiated on either first line androgen deprivation (ADT) or ADT plus docetaxel if seen after 2015 (1 refused). All pts had >90% PSA response to first line therapy, with median PSA nadir 4.38 ng/ml (0.06-153), duration of response 6 months (1-33), and time to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) 14.5 months (5-99). There are differences in treatment selection and outcomes for pts treated with ADT vs. ADT plus docetaxel first line (see table). Conclusions: In pts with PSA >500 at prostate cancer diagnosis, we have observed significant heterogeneity in clinical presentation and response to treatment. In pts treated with first line ADT plus docetaxel, we observed 2 of 7 pts with extended treatment response (> 42 months). Differences in disease biology may account for this observation, and molecular characterization will be needed to better understand this subset. [Table: see text]

Abstract
467 Background: Stress-induced adrenergic signaling suppresses the immune system. A pre-clinical mouse model has shown that pharmacologic beta-blockade can stimulate CD8+ T-cell activity, and as a result improve efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) to inhibit growth in solid tumors. Herein, we investigate the effect of BB on outcomes of patients receiving immunotherapy in mUC and mRCC. Methods: Using the Mount Sinai Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Biorepository, an IRB approved database containing all consented GU cancer patients seen between 2010-2018, we identified patients with either UC or RCC that have received CTLA-4 and/or PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Patients who received only 1 dose of CPI were excluded from this analysis. A descriptive analysis was performed to assess clinical characteristics and treatment response. Overall Survival (OS) was calculated with Kaplan-Meier curves and cox proportional hazard models. Results: We identified 34 evaluable patients with mUC and 14 with mRCC that received CPI (Table). The median age at initiation was 69 years (39–91 years) and 81.2% (39/48) received prior chemotherapy and/or molecular targeted therapies. The mean duration of therapy was longer in the BB group compared to non-BB group (10.6 vs. 4.0 mo). For patients with mUC, the overall response rate (ORR) was 62.5% vs. 12.5% in favor of the BB group. For the patients with mRCC, the ORR was 40.0% vs. 10.0% in favor of the BB group. There were more outstanding responders (>1 year) in the BB group when compared with the non-BB group (41.2% vs. 6.5%). Patients with BB use had significantly improved median OS (NR vs. 11.6 mo, p = 0.004) when compared to those who did not receive BB. Conclusions: In this single-center cohort, the concurrent use of BB receiving CPI therapy is associated with an improved ORR, duration of therapy, and OS. Although this is hypothesis generating, the addition of BB is a promising strategy to improve response of immunotherapy, and prospective validation of this approach will be needed. [Table: see text]

Abstract
285 Background: The Oncology Care Unit (OCU) is an urgent care center open during after-hours and weekends for patients with cancer and blood disorders at the Mount Sinai Hospital. This 6-bed, nurse practitioner-run unit aims to decrease the need for emergency room (ER) visits and hospitalization in this high risk patient population. Herein we characterize utilization of this unit for urgent clinical management (“sick visits”). Methods: We identified all patients treated in the OCU between 5/12/17 and 4/8/18, and collected information on diagnosis, treatment, and utilization of the ER or hospitalization. We used descriptive statistics to identify characteristics of those patients treated in the OCU. Results: Of the 1,934 visits to the OCU, 100 (5%) were coded as “sick visits”. Of this cohort, 39% had solid tumors, 44% liquid tumors, and 17% benign hematologic conditions. Among the oncology patients, the average number of prior treatment lines was 4.6 and average time since diagnosis was 51.3 months. Of all cancers, 84% were classified as advanced stage or high-risk. Treatments for the entire group included: transfusion (T, 20%), hydration (H, 20%), and infusion (I, 13%). Similarly, 39% of visits were for H+I, 3% for T+H, 4% for T+I, and 1% for T+H+I. 5% of patients had a repeat, unplanned OCU sick visit in the next 7 days. Among the sick visits, 28% resulted in hospitalization, with a 14-day average length of stay. Further results are shown in Table 1. Conclusions: The OCU provides enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic services for high-risk hematology/oncology patients. These services often exceed the capabilities of a busy practice and would otherwise prompt an ER visit and/or hospitalization. We now aim to study the effect of the OCU on ER utilization and admission rates as well as to analyze its cost effectiveness. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Significant disparities in survival, incidence and possibly response to current therapies exist between black and white patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recent genomic evidence to account for these disparities has been reported for clear cell RCC. However, racial disparities at the genomic level for papillary RCC (pRCC) which is a genetically distinct and less responsive histologic subtype of RCC have not been reported. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data, the present study assessed gene-level expression, somatic mutation and pathway differences between 58 black and 58 white patients with pRCC propensity matched on age, gender and pathologic T stage. Distinct tumor biology with differential expression patterns were observed in black vs. white patients with pRCC. Specifically, significance analysis of microarrays was applied to TCGA gene expression data and identified 163 genes and 120 genes overexpressed in black and white patients, respectively (FDR q<0.05). Gene Set Enrichment Analysis identified 62 gene sets enriched (p<0.10) in blacks. Enrichment of immune immune system pathways were noted in black patients. These included the B cell receptor signaling pathway, the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway and genes involved in defensins. The VEGF pathway was also more significant in black patients. CRYBB2, a gene associated with the WNT pathway was overexpressed in Black patients. While our data requires validation, these findings suggest that race may have implications for distinct immune responses to cancer and that the use of immunotherapies, and VEGFR inhibitors to target these pathways may improve survival in black patients with advanced pRCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Level 1 evidence supports the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but observational data demonstrate that this approach is underused. A barrier to shared decision making is difficulty in predicting and communicating survival estimates after cystectomy with or without NAC. METHODS We included patients with MIBC from the National Cancer Database treated with cystectomy. A state-transition model was constructed for calculating 5-year death risk using baseline patient-, tumor-, and facility-level variables. Internal-external cross-validation by geographic region was performed. The effect of NAC was integrated using a literature-derived hazard ratio. Bladder cancer-specific and other-cause mortality was estimated from all-cause mortality rates from US life tables. From the state-transition model, a Web-based tool was developed and pilot usability testing performed. RESULTS A total of 9,824 patients with MIBC who underwent cystectomy were eligible for inclusion. Median overall survival was 39.6 months (95% CI, 37.4 to 42.4 months). Increasing age, higher clinical T stage, higher comorbidity index, and black race were associated with shorter survival. Private insurance, higher income, and cystectomy at a high-volume facility were associated with longer survival. The prediction model was well calibrated across geographic regions, with observed-to-predicted 5-year death risks ranging from 0.85 to 1.17. Absolute risk reductions with NAC varied from 8.6% to 10.1%. The Web-based tool allowed input of the predictor variables and a user-defined hazard ratio associated with the effect of NAC to generate individualized survival estimates. The tool demonstrated good usability with clinicians. CONCLUSION A Web-based tool was developed to individualize outcome prediction and communication in patients with MIBC treated with cystectomy with or without NAC to facilitate shared decision making.

Abstract
Purpose The TAXYNERGY trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01718353) evaluated clinical benefit from early taxane switch and circulating tumor cell (CTC) biomarkers to interrogate mechanisms of sensitivity or resistance to taxanes in men with chemotherapy-naïve, metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to docetaxel or cabazitaxel. Men who did not achieve ≥ 30% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline by cycle 4 (C4) switched taxane. The primary clinical endpoint was confirmed ≥ 50% PSA decline versus historical control (TAX327). The primary biomarker endpoint was analysis of post-treatment CTCs to confirm the hypothesis that clinical response was associated with taxane drug-target engagement, evidenced by decreased percent androgen receptor nuclear localization (%ARNL) and increased microtubule bundling. Results Sixty-three patients were randomly assigned to docetaxel (n = 41) or cabazitaxel (n = 22); 44.4% received prior potent androgen receptor-targeted therapy. Overall, 35 patients (55.6%) had confirmed ≥ 50% PSA responses, exceeding the historical control rate of 45.4% (TAX327). Of 61 treated patients, 33 (54.1%) had ≥ 30% PSA declines by C4 and did not switch taxane, 15 patients (24.6%) who did not achieve ≥ 30% PSA declines by C4 switched taxane, and 13 patients (21.3%) discontinued therapy before or at C4. Of patients switching taxane, 46.7% subsequently achieved ≥ 50% PSA decrease. In 26 CTC-evaluable patients, taxane-induced decrease in %ARNL (cycle 1 day 1 v cycle 1 day 8) was associated with a higher rate of ≥ 50% PSA decrease at C4 ( P = .009). Median composite progression-free survival was 9.1 months (95% CI, 4.9 to 11.7 months); median overall survival was not reached at 14 months. Common grade 3 or 4 adverse events included fatigue (13.1%) and febrile neutropenia (11.5%). Conclusion The early taxane switch strategy was associated with improved PSA response rates versus TAX327. Taxane-induced shifts in %ARNL may serve as an early biomarker of clinical benefit in patients treated with taxanes.

Abstract
e16567 Background: SM88 is a novel combination of substituted amino acid ( AA) and repurposed agents with non-toxic activity in a variety of cancers including prostate (PC). Non-metastatic biochemically recurrent PC (nmPC) is ideal for such a well-tolerated, non-androgen based treatment. We present biomarker activity including CTCs (circulating tumor cells) after completion of the Ib dose escalating pharmacokinetic portion of the SM88 development plan. Methods: Planned analysis of an ongoing prospective Phase Ib/II open label study of nmPC (PCWG3 definition). Subject 1 received the 1stdose level of AA, and others received 2x dose. All subjects also received a combination of low dose re-purposed CYP3a4 inducer, oxidative stress catalyst, and mTOR inhibitor. Results: Four subjects completed at least 1 cycle (28d) with all PK sampling as prespecified. Median age was 73(70-80); all had prior ADT that was discontinued 3-6 yrs earlier, and either had curative intent prostatectomy (n = 2) or RT (n = 2); Testosterone level was castrate in one after prior RT. CTCs fell (p < 0.01) to undetectable (n = 1) or by > 25% (n = 3) (see table) while PSA remained stable (PCWG3 criteria). Preliminary LDH, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (N:L), urinary NTx, bone specific AlkPhos (bAP) trends are in the table below. There were no drug related serious adverse events (2 grade: 1- pigmentation, 1- vasomotor). EORTC-QLQ30 and PR25 scores were either improved or stable. Conclusions: Treatment with SM88 in patients with nmPC in the completed phase Ib cohort was associated with CTC reduction, and stable biomarker trends including PSA and LDH. There was no significant toxicity or adverse patient reported outcomes. Based on these results, the dose escalation was stopped at the second level and a cohort expansion phase II initiated. A phase III RCT is planned for confirmation of these results. Clinical trial information: NCT02796898. [Table: see text]

Abstract
243 Background: Clinical trials are critical to informing cancer care but are hampered by slow accrual and suboptimal generalizability, both contributed to by poor geographic accessibility. We previously reported that > 50% of the US population resides > 1 hour from the nearest PCa clinical trial site (Galsky, JAMA Int Med, 2015). We sought to test the feasibility of replacing on-site study visits with telemedicine visits in a prospective clinical trial. Methods: Castration-naïve non-metastatic pts with PCa and a rising PSA after local therapy were eligible. Pts required a single on-site visit for enrollment. Treatment consisted of metformin 850 mg QD x 1 month followed by 850 mg BID x 5 months. Telemedicine visits were conducted monthly using a HIPAA-compliant smartphone application. The primary objective was to determine feasibility defined as completion of all eligible telemedicine visits by > 2/3 enrolled pts; pts were ineligible for future telemedicine visits if treatment discontinued early for toxicity or disease progression. Secondary objectives included safety, % patients with ≤ 20% PSA rise at 6 months, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. Results: 15 pts were enrolled, median age 68 (range, 57, 83), one-way driving time 1.3 hours (range, 0.2-2.8), Gleason score 7 (range, 6, 9), and pre-study PSA 4.1 (range, 0.52, 31.7). The 6 month course of metformin was completed by 11/15 (73%) pts; 2 discontinued early due to rising PSA, 1 due to adverse event (AE), and 1 remains on study. Excluding 1 pt still on study, 14/14 (100%; 95% CI 76, 100) pts completed all 78 eligible telemedicine visits. The most common AEs were diarrhea (grade 1 = 60%) and fatigue (grade 1 = 20%); 1 pt experienced grade ≥ 3 AE (dehydration). The 6-month PSA was ≤ 20% baseline in 1 pt; median % PSA change at last televisit was +52.8% (range, -3.0, +318.8). Quality of life and pt satisfaction will be reported at the meeting. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first ever interventional oncology clinical trial conducted via telemedicine. Telemedicine-enabled trials are feasible and may overcome barriers to trial participation. Metformin was generally well tolerated but associated with minimal anti-PCa activity as measured by PSA. Clinical trial information: NCT02376166.

Abstract
Renal cell cancer (RCC) continues to be among the most lethal malignancies in the USA. Introduction of anti-vascular epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors over a decade ago resulted in improvement in disease outcomes, but further development of new therapies largely stagnated for many years. More recently, a better understanding of disease biology and treatment-resistance patterns has led to a second renaissance in drug development, with the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, nivolumab, paving the way for additional therapies entering clinical trial testing in the treatment of RCC.
