5004 Background: Patients (pts) with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated continuously with testosterone suppression (TS) plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) can experience cumulative toxicity. We conducted this single-arm phase 2 trial (NCT05241860) to test the hypothesis that pts who achieve favorable response to TS + ARPI can have prolonged treatment-free interval with testosterone recovery after treatment interruption (TI). Here we report on the primary endpoint. Methods: Eligible pts had mHSPC by conventional imaging with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 5 ng/ml and testosterone ≥ 150 ng/dl prior to starting TS+ARPI, with PSA < 0.2 ng/ml and testosterone < 50 ng/dl at the time of enrollment after having received TS for 540-750 days and ARPI for ≥ 360 days. Prior local therapy, radiation to metastases and docetaxel were permitted. After enrollment, pts discontinued TS and ARPI and were followed with PSA and testosterone levels every 3 months (mo), CT/MRI and bone scan at least every 6 mo, and FACT-P questionnaire for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) every 6 mo. Treatment was resumed for PSA ≥ 5 ng/ml, radiographic change (progressive disease [PD] per RECIST 1.1 on CT/MRI or unconfirmed PD per PCWG3 on bone scan), or prostate cancer-related symptoms. The primary endpoint was proportion of men remaining treatment-free 18 mo after TI with eugonadal testosterone ( > 150 ng/dl). Target enrollment was 75 pts to differentiate 18-mo treatment-free rates of 0.30 (H 0 ) and 0.45 (H a ). Results: Of 79 pts enrolled between 07/2022 and 03/2024, 78 were eligible and underwent TI. Among these 78, median PSA prior to starting TS+ARPI was 19 (range 5-6759), 27 (35%) had high volume disease, 31 (40%) never received local therapy, and 55 (71%) did not receive radiation to metastases. By 18 mo after TI, 67% (52/78) recovered testosterone and 58% (45/78) remained treatment-free; 41% (32/78) remained treatment-free with testosterone recovery (80% CI 33.5-48.9%, one-sided p 0.0249). At median follow-up of 21.2 mo, 35% (27/78) resumed initial TS+ARPI after meeting re-initiation criteria (of whom 1 required treatment switch for PD 9 mo later); 5% (4/78) resumed prior to meeting criteria; 9% (7/78) pursued alternative therapy instead of resuming TS+ARPI per protocol; 5% (4/78) withdrew; 1 died of myocardial infarction prior to resuming treatment. 4 pts died, 1 of prostate cancer. Conclusions: The primary objective was achieved with 41% of favorable responders to TS+ARPI remaining treatment-free with testosterone recovery at 18 mo after TI. Analyses of biomarkers and PROs are in progress, and pts will be followed for long-term outcomes.

TPS5118 Background: Novel androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) improve overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in conjunction with testosterone suppression (TS) relative to TS alone. However, the duration of treatment required to derive clinical benefit is unclear, as is whether continuous treatment is requisite for optimal cancer outcomes. Favorable PSA declines have been associated with prolonged OS in clinical trials testing TS + ARPIs. We thus designed this single-arm Phase 2 trial to test the hypothesis that pts who achieve exceptional response to upfront TS + ARPI can suspend treatment, allowing for T recovery and improvement in quality of life while maintaining favorable clinical outcomes. Methods: Eligible pts had mHSPC by conventional imaging with PSA ≥ 5 ng/ml and T ≥ 150 ng/dl (or not known to have been hypogonadal) prior to starting treatment, have been receiving TS for 540-750 days and ARPI for ≥ 360 days, and have achieved PSA < 0.2 ng/ml (stable or falling for 3 consecutive measurements) with castrate T <50 ng/dl at the time of enrollment. Intermittent ADT for biochemical recurrence prior to mHSPC diagnosis, prior local therapy, prior radiation to metastatic sites, and up to 6 cycles of docetaxel in mHSPC are permitted. Pts who underwent surgical castration, received ARPI prior to mHSPC diagnosis, or are receiving experimental treatment for mHSPC or participating in a clinical trial that does not allow for TS or ARPI interruption are excluded. After enrollment, pts discontinue both TS and ARPI and are followed with PSA and T levels every 3 months, conventional CT/MRI and bone scan at least every 6 months, and FACT-P questionnaire for patient-reported outcomes every 6 months. Treatment re-initiation triggers are PSA increase to ≥ 5 ng/ml, radiographic change (progressive disease per modified RECIST 1.1 on CT/MRI or unconfirmed progressive disease per PCWG3 on bone scan), or symptoms attributable to prostate cancer. Subsequent management is per physician discretion. The primary endpoint is remaining treatment-free with eugonadal T (> 150 mg/dl) 18 months after the start of treatment interruption, with 75 pts to be enrolled to differentiate 18-month treatment free rates of 0.30 (null hypothesis) and 0.45 (alternative hypothesis). Secondary endpoints include time to eugonadal T, duration off treatment, and changes in patient-reported outcomes. Exploratory endpoints include radiographic progression-free survival, time to next treatment, OS, and correlation of tissue- and blood-based biomarkers with clinical endpoints. The study was activated in July 2022 and accrual is ongoing throughout the NCTN. Support: U10CA180821, U10CA180882, UG1CA189823, https://acknowledgments.alliancefound.org , Veracyte Inc.

TPS589 Background: In patients (pts) with metastatic unresectable urothelial cancer, platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard of care for first-line treatment followed by switch maintenance avelumab if disease control is achieved with chemotherapy. Outside of this setting, single agent immunotherapy is often used in pts that have recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy or are platinum ineligible. Atezolizumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor currently approved for pts that have urothelial cancers expressing positive PD-L1 or pts ineligible for receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. Tumor-targeted radiotherapy can generate immune-stimulating effects without immune suppression as was previously thought. Moreover, it has become clear that radiotherapy can induce profound effects on tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment that can enhance or trigger an anticancer immune response. While numerous trials have investigated the abscopal effect, this trial will have specific parameters regarding drug type, radiation dose and administration. Methods: A032002 is a phase 2 trial addressing pts that are platinum ineligible or refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy. 144 pts will be randomized to receive either atezolizumab or atezolizumab and single site radiation therapy. The atezolizumab regimen is 1200 mg every 3 weeks. Administration of radiotherapy will occur to one non-target site (8 Gy x 3) for pts randomized to the atezolizumab + radiotherapy arm. All pts will undergo centralized PD-L1 testing (SP142 monoclonal primary antibody), which can be performed on archival tissue; a new biopsy is only required if no archival tissue is available. Key eligibility criteria include age ≥ 18 years, ECOG performance status 0-2, histologically confirmed metastatic urothelial cancer, having at least one measurable site per RECIST 1.1 to monitor for abscopal response, one site targetable for radiation, and tissue available for PD-L1 testing. The primary endpoint is tumor response within 6 months of randomization. Tumor response is defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the treating physician using RECIST 1.1 criteria. For a one-sided log rank test with a type 1 error rateof 0.10, the study has 90% power to detect a 20% increase in response rate. Key secondary endpoints include tumor response using iRECIST, progression-free survival and overall survival. Quality of life assessments include EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-BLM30 and PROMIS-Fatigue. Tissue, urine and blood samples will be collected and biobanked for future correlative science. Enrollment to ART began in December 2021. The study is available for participation at all US NCTN sites with a projected enrollment of 3 years. Support: U10CA180821, U10CA180882. Clinical trial information: NCT04936230 .
