Prostate Cancer

Phase 1b/2 study of enzalutamide (ENZ) with LY3023414 (LY) or placebo (PL) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after progression on abiraterone.

Conclusions: Combination LY+ENZ had a clinically manageable safety profile. The primary end-point of PCWG2-PFS was met and is supported by a clinically meaningful delay in rPFS in AR-V7 negative pts. The biomarker data provide important insights to inform future development strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT02407054

Pembrolizumab (pembro) plus enzalutamide (enza) in abiraterone (abi)-pretreated patients (pts) with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): Cohort C of the phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-365 study.

 

Conclusions: The pembro + enza combination showed sustained activity in abi-pretreated chemotherapy-naive mCRPC. AEs were considered tolerable for the treatment combination; incidence of rash resolved with standard-of-care treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT02861573

Conclusions:18F-DCFPyL PET/CT was well tolerated and demonstrated high sensitivity and PPV in accurately detecting nodal, bone, and visceral/soft tissue metastases. A positive 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scan is highly likely to represent pathologically proven distant disease, demonstrating the potential of 18F-DCFPyL as a PET imaging agent to favorably influence treatment planning.

Conclusions: This is the first study to formally analyze response to PSMA-TRT by PSMA imaging expression in an unselected patient population. The level of PSMA expression measured by imaging is associated with the chance of response. However, a subset of patients without any significant PSMA uptake on imaging did demonstrate response to PSMA-TRT, indicating that imaging cannot exclude all patients that might benefit.

Conclusions: In patients with BCR and low serum PSA levels after RP, PSMA PET/CT demonstrates higher detection rates and superior reader agreement when compared with FACBC PET/CT. Therefore, PSMA PET/CT should be the imaging modality of choice in patients with early BCR. Clinical trial information: NCT03515577

Conclusions: This is the first prospective study to test cardiovascular outcome among prostate-cancer patients receiving ADT. We demonstrated that in patients with pre-existing CVD, GnRH-antagonists was associated with development of fewer cardiovascular events compared to GnRH-agonists. Clinical trial information: NCT02475057

Conclusions: Deferred ADT in relapsing M0 patients is associated with long OS measured from time of local treatment, comparable to OS with salvage ADT in contemporary experience. Drug approval trials in nmCRPC should focus on patients at high risk for metastasis and death prior to ADT, and determine standardized criteria for initiation of ADT. Prolongation of MFS in nmCRPC requires further validation and may not necessarily reflect a net OS benefit.

Atezolizumab (atezo) + bevacizumab (bev) versus sunitinib (sun) in pts with untreated metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and sarcomatoid (sarc) histology: IMmotion151 subgroup analysis.

 

Conclusions: mRCC pts with sarc histology had longer OS and PFS and a higher ORR/CR rate when treated with atezo + bev vs sun, regardless of PD-L1 status. Biomarker data support a biological correlate for the increased responsiveness to atezo + bev in sarc pts. Clinical trial information: NCT02420821

CheckMate 214 post-hoc analyses of nivolumab plus ipilimumab or sunitinib in IMDC intermediate/poor-risk patients with previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid features.

Conclusions: In this post-hoc descriptive subgroup analysis of CheckMate 214, N+I demonstrated promising efficacy and prolonged survival vs S, with consistent safety, in previously untreated, I/P-risk, advanced clear-cell RCC with sarcomatoid features. Prospective studies of N+I that include pts with sRCC are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02231749

Conclusions: Pts with S/R mRCC have a higher frequency of BAP1 GA and better outcomes on ICIs compared to non-ICI-based therapies. Future studies should determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the improved response to ICIs in S/R mRCC.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in IMmotion150: Atezolizumab (atezo) alone or with bevacizumab (bev) versus sunitinib (sun) in first-line metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Conclusions: PROs suggest that atezo alone or with bev maintained daily function with minimal symptom interference vs sun. Clinical activity, safety and PRO data for atezo support its investigation in adjuvant tx of high-risk RCC pts (IMmotion010; NCT03024996). Clinical trial information: NCT01984242

Conclusions: Based on the largest analysis of AS in mRCC to date, our data suggest that a subset of pts may be safely observed without immediate initiation of systemic therapy. Prospective validation is required in the contemporary immunotherapy era.

Conclusions: Nivolumab and ipilmumab resulted in objective responses in a subset of patients with BCVH with manageable toxicities. Updated clinical and correlative data will be presented. This combination may warrant further investigation in patients with BCVH, which has substantial unmet needs. Clinical trial information: NCT 03333616.

Real-world outcome study among patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) receiving checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs).

Conclusions: The majority of RCC patients receiving a CPI, mostly anti-PD-1 agents, experienced an irAE, and patients with irAEs had a higher comorbidity burden than those without irAEs. Most patients with irAEs reinitiated CPI treatment within 90 days.
