TPS202 Background: Approximately 30% of patients (pts) treated with definitive surgical and/or radiation therapy for localized prostate adenocarcinoma develop biochemical recurrence (BCR). The optimal time to initiate androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for such patients is controversial and depends on patient and provider preference, absolute PSA value, and PSA doubling time (PSADT), which has been associated with time to metastasis. Because the time from BCR to metastasis can be long in many cases, strategies allowing pts to avoid ADT while extending metastasis-free survival are desirable. Prior studies have shown that a high tumor neoantigen load correlates with response to anti-PD(L)1. We hypothesized that PARP inhibitor-induced genomic instability may sensitize tumors to anti-PD(L)1 through: i) increasing mutational burden and subsequent tumor neoantigen formation, and/or ii) through activation of other immunogenic pathways (e.g. the STING pathway). This trial investigates an ADT-sparing approach for men predicted to have high neoantigen load and who have BCR prostate cancer. Methods: This is a phase 2 clinical trial testing durvalumab (1500 mg IV every 4 weeks) and olaparib (300 mg PO twice a day) (one cycle = 4 weeks) in men with BCR (PSADT≤10 months) whose tumors are predicted to have high neoantigen load based on: biallelic CDK12 mutations (Cohort A), mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd)/high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) (Cohort B), or loss of function mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes (Cohort C). Cohorts A and B will receive 3 cycles of durvalumab followed by 3 cycles of the combination of durvalumab and olaparib. Given the proven efficacy of olaparib in prostate cancer patient whose tumors posses an HRR gene mutation, Cohort C will receive 6 full cycles of the combination. Ten patients will be enrolled in each cohort (total n = 30) at two collaborating sites. This study was designed to provide preliminary efficacy data across eligible cohorts, with a primary objective of estimating the proportion of pts with an undetectable PSA at 12 months within each cohort. Secondary objectives include safety, proportion of patients with ≥50% decline in PSA from baseline and quality of life measures. Correlative studies will assess blood and tissue molecular biomarkers for association with outcomes. The study is open with two patients enrolled at the time of abstract submission. Clinical trial information: NCT04336943.

Published: February 2022

TPS204 Background: Treatment options are limited for patients with mCRPC that progresses after treatment with next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs)—such as enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate—or docetaxel. Approximately 20% of patients with adenocarcinoma mCRPC that progresses on androgen deprivation therapy develop t-NE mCRPC, which is associated with shortened overall survival (OS). The PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab showed antitumor activity as monotherapy in docetaxel-pretreated patients with adenocarcinoma mCRPC in the phase 2 KEYNOTE-199 trial. The T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) inhibitor vibostolimab showed antitumor activity when combined with pembrolizumab in pretreated patients with several tumor types in a phase 1 dose-escalation study. Combining PD-1 and TIGIT inhibition might have enhanced benefit in mCRPC, potentially both adenocarcinoma and t-NE. Methods: KEYNOTE-365 (NCT02861573) is a nonrandomized, open-label, multicohort, phase 1b/2 trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of several pembrolizumab combination therapies in patients with mCRPC. Patients enrolled in cohort G will have confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell histology, per the investigator. Cohort H will enroll patients with t-NE (≥1% neuroendocrine cells in a recent biopsy specimen confirmed by central histology review). Each cohort will include patients who previously received docetaxel treatment for mCRPC. Prior treatment with ≤2 NHAs (for hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer [mHSPC] or mCRPC) and 1 other chemotherapy for mCRPC is permitted. Enrollment in cohort H requires prostate cancer progression within 6 months of starting an NHA (for mHSPC or mCRPC) and within < 6 cycles of docetaxel for mCRPC. Each cohort will enroll 40-100 patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score 0 or 1. Both cohorts will receive MK-7684A, a coformulation of pembrolizumab 200 mg and vibostolimab 200 mg, IV every 3 weeks. Treatment will continue until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or other discontinuation event. Primary end points are safety and tolerability, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate, and objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary end points include time to PSA progression; ORR and radiographic progression-free survival per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3)–modified RECIST v1.1 by BICR; duration of response and disease control rate per RECIST v1.1 and PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 by BICR; and OS. These cohorts of KEYNOTE-365 are enrolling in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States. Clinical trial information: NCT02861573.

Published: February 2022

TPS211 Background: [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617) is a high-affinity prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy that delivers β-particle radiation to PSMA-expressing cells and their surrounding microenvironment. In the phase 3 VISION trial, 177Lu-PSMA-617 significantly prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with ≥1 androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and 12 taxanes. PSMAfore is investigating the effect on rPFS in taxane-naïve patients with mCRPC treated with either 177Lu-PSMA-617 or a change in ARPI. Methods: PSMAfore (NCT04689828) is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 3 trial in adults with progressive mCRPC and confirmed PSMA expression by [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Eligible patients are taxane-naïve in the metastatic setting and have: received one prior ARPI and are candidates for a change in ARPI; an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1; a castrate level of serum/plasma testosterone ( < 50 ng/dL or < 1.7 nmol/L); and recovered to grade ≤2 from toxicities related to prior therapies. Approximately 450 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 (7.4 GBq i.v. every 6 weeks for 6 cycles) or a change in ARPI to either abiraterone or enzalutamide. Best supportive care is allowed in both arms. Stratification factors are prior ARPI use in castration-resistant vs hormone-sensitive prostate cancer settings and pain symptomatology (score 03 vs 410 on the worst pain intensity item of the Brief Pain InventoryShort Form). The primary endpoint is rPFS according to PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1 criteria. Participants with blinded independent centrally confirmed radiographic progression in the ARPI arm can crossover to the 177Lu-PSMA-617 arm. The planned sample size provides 95% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.56 for rPFS after 156 events with an overall one-sided significance level of 0.025. The key secondary endpoint is OS; other secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability of 177Lu-PSMA-617 and health-related quality of life.

TPS217 Background: Sabizabulin is a first-in-class, oral agent that inhibits microtubule polymerization disrupting the cytoskeleton and arresting cellular proliferation. In prostate cancer, targeted inhibition of microtubule polymerization further blocks the transport of the androgen receptor into the nucleus. A phase 1b/2 clinical study was conducted to establish the MTD and evaluate the preliminary efficacy in men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who progressed on at least one androgen receptor targeting agent (ARTA). The most common AEs reported were mild to moderate diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting with no clinically relevant neurotoxicity or neutropenia. In the phase 1b/2, in all evaluable patients that would qualify for the VERACITY study (n=26), the ORR was 23.1%. Median radiographic progression free survival was >12 months (range 6-28+ months) in the phase 1b portion including responses >two years. The revised formulation for use in the Phase 3 study, with improved bioavailability, is 32mg PO qd. Methods: VERACITY is an ongoing phase 3 multicenter, randomized, active-control study designed to evaluate sabizabulin in the treatment of mCRPC who have progressed on at least one ARTA. Patients on the study will be chemotherapy naive. Subjects (n=245) are being randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive sabizabulin (32 mg/d oral) or active control (alternative ARTA) and will remain on study until radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Randomization will be stratified by: measurable disease vs. bone-only disease and by prior exposure to ARTA (progressed on one vs more than one prior ARTA). The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is median rPFS. Secondary endpoints include: objective response rate (ORR), duration of objective response, overall survival and time to intravenous (IV) chemotherapy. The phase 3, VERACITY registration clinical trial is current ongoing in approximately 45 clinical sites with enrollment anticipated to be completed in 2022 and with unblinded results presented in 2023. Based upon the phase 1b/2 clinical trial, sabizabulin daily chronic oral dosing has a favorable safety profile, is feasible to administer chronically, and has significant and durable antitumor activity. Metastatic prostate cancer that has become refractory to newer generation ARTAs and prior to IV chemotherapy, remains an urgent unmet medical need for patients with advanced disease. Sabizabulin is an exciting first-in-class agent that will add to the armamentarium for the treatment of metastatic castration and ARTA resistant prostate cancer.

Published: February 2022

TPS218 Background: In previously treated adenocarcinoma metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), approximately 20% of patients develop t-NE PC, which is aggressive with short overall survival (OS). t-NE PC treatment includes platinum-containing chemotherapy because of t-NE’s histologic, biologic, and clinical similarity to small cell/NE lung cancer. In the open-label, multicohort, phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-365 study (NCT02861573), pembrolizumab, when combined with several agents for treatment of adenocarcinoma mCRPC, showed clinical activity and acceptable safety. To identify new treatment options for t-NE mCRPC, cohort I will help to evaluate platinum-containing chemotherapy alone or combined with pembrolizumab for patients with t-NE. Methods: Cohort I of the KEYNOTE-365 study will enroll patients with t-NE (≥1% neuroendocrine cells in a recent biopsy specimen confirmed by central histology review) and prior docetaxel treatment for mCRPC. Prior treatment with ≤2 next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs) for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) or mCRPC and 1 other chemotherapy for mCRPC is permitted. Additionally, enrollment in cohort I requires previous prostate cancer progression within 6 months of starting an NHA (mHSPC or mCRPC) and within < 6 cycles of docetaxel for mCRPC. Each arm will enroll 40-100 patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on day 1 of each cycle every 3 weeks + carboplatin AUC of 5 IV on day 1 + etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles (arm 1) or the same chemotherapy regimen without pembrolizumab (arm 2). Pembrolizumab treatment will continue for up to 2 years until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will be stratified by ECOG PS score (0 vs 1). Primary end points are safety and tolerability, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate, and objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary end points include time to PSA progression; duration of response (DOR) and disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST v1.1 by BICR; ORR, DOR, DCR, and radiographic progression-free survival per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3–modified RECIST v1.1 by BICR; and OS. End points will be summarized for each arm without formal hypothesis testing. This cohort of KEYNOTE-365 is enrolling in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, and the United States.

Published: February 2022

TPS429 Background: High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and peripheral-blood stem-cell transplant (PBSCT) is effective salvage therapy in patients with relapsed germ-cell tumors (GCT). Utilizing HDCT and PBSCT in the 2nd line setting, cures can be achieved in about 60% of patients with relapsed non-seminoma. Maintenance daily oral etoposide after salvage therapy has been shown effective in inducing remissions (J Clin Oncol 1995;13:1167-9). We evaluate the efficacy and safety of maintenance daily oral etoposide after HDCT+PBSCT in patients with relapsed non-seminoma. Methods: This randomized phase II open label trial is evaluating maintenance oral etoposide after HDCT+PBSCT. Eligible patients are adults with metastatic non-seminomatous GCT who have progressive disease after first-line cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. All patients will complete initial salvage with HDCT+PBSCT with the carboplatin/etoposide Indiana protocol x2 tandem cycles. All patients should have normal or declining tumor markers (AFP and/or hCG) at time of randomization and absence of progressive disease on imaging. Adverse events from prior therapy, including hematologic toxicity, should be recovered to grade≤2 at time of randomization. Randomization should occur within ≤16 weeks from time of the 2nd cycle of HDCT. Patients with primary mediastinal non-seminoma are eligible. Patients with relapsed pure seminoma are excluded. Patients are randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive maintenance etoposide vs. standard of care surveillance post HDCT. Randomization will be stratified by platinum refractory status defined as progression within 4 weeks of first-line chemotherapy (yes vs no). Patients randomized to treatment arm will receive oral etoposide 50mg/m2 daily for 21 consecutive days of 28 day cycles. A total of 3 cycles will be delivered. Weekly labs including CBC w differential will be checked to detect hematological toxicity. The primary objective is to compare the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) for maintenance etoposide vs observation in patients with relapsed non-seminoma post HDCT. Secondary objectives include to assess the toxicity and tolerability of maintenance etoposide, and 12-month overall survival. Exploratory analysis of the biomarker micro-RNA371 at time of randomization and correlation with disease progression/relapse will be performed. As of September 20, 2021, 5 of the total sample (N = 64) have been enrolled and randomized. Clinical trial information: NCT04804007.

TPS584 Background: Patients with solid tumors who progress on standard chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy with existing standard-of-care chemotherapy options (objective response rates [ORRs] ̃10%). These patients have a significant unmet medical need. Novel agents that can safely enhance treatment efficacy are urgently needed. Magrolimab is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that blocks the macrophage inhibitory immune checkpoint CD47, a “do not eat me” signal overexpressed on tumor cells. Preclinical studies provide compelling evidence that magrolimab triggers phagocytosis and eliminates cancer cells from human solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Magrolimab has demonstrated clinical activity in both hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. Chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes, enhance prophagocytic signals on tumor cells, leading to synergistic antitumor activity when combined with magrolimab. This study (NCT04827576) is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of magrolimab with docetaxel in relapsed/refractory (R/R) metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC), non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), and small-cell lung cancer (mSCLC). Methods: This Phase 2, open-label, multi-arm study (NCT04827576) consists of a safety run-in cohort and a Phase 2 cohort. Eligible patients are ≥18 years old with chemotherapy- and/or immunotherapy-refractory mUC, mNSCLC, or mSCLC. Magrolimab is administered intravenously (IV) with an initial 1-mg/kg priming dose to mitigate on-target anemia, followed by a 30-mg/kg dose during cycle 1 (cycles are 21 days) in the safety run-in to identify any dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). De-escalation may occur for DLTs per protocol. In Phase 2, following the priming dose on day 1, the highest acceptable dose of magrolimab will be administered on days 8 and 15 of cycle 1; days 1, 8, and 15 of cycle 2; and day 1 for cycles 3 and beyond. Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 is administered IV on day 1 of each cycle for all study participants. Patients may continue treatment until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease by RECIST 1.1, or patient/investigator choice to discontinue. The primary endpoints are incidence of adverse events (safety and Phase 2 cohorts) and ORR (Phase 2). Secondary endpoints (Phase 2) are progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall survival. Exploratory endpoints are to evaluate the pharmacodynamic, mechanism of action, and/or therapeutic response of biomarkers in blood and tumor biopsy samples and to explore biomarkers that may predict response to therapy. Enrollment began in August 2021. Planned enrollment is approximately 116 patients, and as of October 1, 2021 recruitment is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04827576.

Published: February 2022

PURPOSE Despite a large volume of research, breast cancer survivors continue to experience high levels of unmet need. To better understand the breadth of evidence, we mapped systematic review-level evidence across cancer survivorship domains and outcomes and conducted network analyses of breast cancer survivorship care interventions. METHODS Umbrella review methodology was used to identify published systematic reviews reporting on survivorship care interventions for breast cancer survivors. Included reviews were mapped against domains and health care outcomes as specified by the Cancer Survivorship Quality Framework, and network analyses were conducted to determine the extent of clustering of reviews, and connectivity across domains and outcomes. RESULTS Of 323 included reviews, most focused on management of physical (71.5%) or psychologic (65.3%) effects, health-related quality of life (55.1%), and physical activity (45.2%). Few focused on financial/employment effects, chronic conditions, health care delivery domains, or health service use or cost outcomes. Network analysis indicated 38.6% of reviews were connected to a single domain, 35.0% to two domains, and 16.5% to three domains, indicating a relatively siloed nature of research, with greater community clustering between health care delivery domains but limited connection between these and the other domains. Reviews published between 2011 and 2021 were more likely to examine financial toxicity and chronic conditions, but these domains remained under-represented compared with physical and psychologic effects. CONCLUSION Despite vast volume of breast cancer survivorship intervention research, systematic review-level research is unevenly distributed, siloed, and with significant gaps in key domains and outcomes. Assessment of evidence gaps in primary research and strategic planning of future research, in consultation with survivors, is needed.
