e13611 Background: Decentralized cancer care models may reduce treatment burden for patients with advanced prostate cancer (CaP), particularly those facing mobility, transportation, of scheduling challenges. However, prospective patient-reported experience and quality-of-life data comparing home- versus clinic-based oncology care remain limited. Mayo Clinic Cancer CARE Beyond Walls (CCBW) is a patient-centered program designed to deliver selected standard-of-care cancer therapies in the home with virtual clinical oversight. This observational study evaluated patient-reported experience, feasibility, safety, and quality of life among men with advanced or metastatic CaP receiving care at home. Methods: Men with advanced/metastatic CaP receiving active standard-of-care therapy including hormone-based treatments, oral anticancer therapies, anti-bone resorptive agents, or intravenous chemotherapy who were participating in a CCBW randomized trial were enrolled into a companion observational study. After confirmation of treatment tolerance in clinic, patients received home-based care for 24 weeks (Arm A) or in-clinic care for 8 weeks followed by home-based care for 16 weeks (Arm B). Patient-reported outcomes were collected at baseline and Weeks 8, 16, and 24, using CAHPS-based measures and CCBW-specific surveys assessing overall cancer care experience, patient preference for site of care, comfort with home infusions, functional/symptom assessment and quality of life. Descriptive analyses were performed. Results: Eighteen participants were analyzed (Arm A n = 10; Arm B n = 8). Participants were medically stable, and predominantly insured by Medicare. Survey completion was 100% at baseline and 83% at all follow-up time points. At Weeks 16 and 24 when all respondents had received home-based care, 100% and 92% reported being “quite a bit” or “very much” comfortable receiving treatment at home. Communication with at-home and remote nursing teams was rated highly, and most respondents reported transition, scheduling, and equipment use easy or very easy. At Weeks 16 and 24, 45% and 40% of respondents reported improved quality of life from receiving home-based care, with no reports of worsening. No emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or urgent care visits occurred in either arm. Conclusions: In this prospective, observational study, home-based oncology care delivered through CCBW was feasible, safe, and associated with high patient satisfaction among men with advanced CaP receiving diverse systemic therapies. These findings support further evaluation and expansion of decentralized care integrating home-based treatment with virtual clinical oversight.

5543 Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that these agents may have potential anti-tumor activity as GLP-1 signaling may influence pathways involved in cell proliferation and inflammation. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy, and obesity represents a well-established, modifiable risk factor that may adversely affect oncologic outcomes through chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on outcomes among patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, covering January 2000 to December 2025, encompassing data from 168 global healthcare organizations. Patients aged 18 and above with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity were identified and then stratified into two groups based on treatment with GLP1 agonists or not. The two groups were then propensity-matched based on age, ethnicity, medical comorbidities, and stage of cancer. Outcomes were assessed for five years from treatment initiation and included overall mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke; development of peritoneal, lymph node, and visceral metastases; sepsis, pancreatitis, and ED visits. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: After propensity matching, 6352 patients were included in each cohort with balanced baseline characteristics. Our analysis found that patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity who received GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower risk of overall mortality (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.39-0.51, p-value <0.001), development of peritoneal metastases (Risk Difference [RD]: -2.16%, 95% CI: -2.74% to -1.58%, p-value <0.001), nodal metastases (RD: -0.41%, 95% CI: -0.72% to -0.09%, p-value =0.01), visceral metastases (RD: -3.76%, 95% CI: -4.60% to -2.93%, p-value =0.01), and sepsis with and without shock (RD: -1.42%, 95% CI: -2.14% to -0.70%, p-value <0.001) compared to patients who did not receive GLP-1 agonists. There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of MI, ischemic stroke, ED visits, and pancreatitis between the two cohorts. Conclusions: In this large real-world analysis, patients with endometrial cancer and comorbid obesity who received GLP-1 agonists had lower rates of overall mortality; peritoneal, lymph node, and visceral metastases, and sepsis with or without shock. Additional longitudinal cohort studies are imperative to explore the associations between these agents and inform clinical practice guidelines in this patient population.

Abstract Introduction: The disproportionate prostate cancer (CaP) burden, which includes high mortality rates, is significantly attributed to the characteristics of the social determinants of the health status of the Black Male population. Designing targeted interventions to address poor health outcomes through a collaborative population-based approach could reduce CaP health disparities. The Community Living Lab (CoLLab) Learning Health System was developed to address ethnically sensitive, targeted approaches that will eliminate CaP health disparities among Black Men. This study assessed demographic factors and Knowledge on prostate cancer screening attitudes and research participation among black men. Method: The collab project employed a social ecological model to design intervention to address barriers to CaP screening and participation in clinical trials. A validated, pretested questionnaire was used to collect information on demographics, CaP knowledge, attitudes, testing, and a history of participation in research and clinical trials. Baseline data were collected from 3 American Legion posts (ALPs). The association between variables was evaluated using the Chi-square test. Results: Participants between 60-69 years were 28.38%, and those aged 40-49 were 12.16%. Most are US-born Black (89.8%), with others identifying as African-born Black (6.76%) and Caribbean-born Black (1.35%). Approximately 43.24% were retired, and 36.49% were working full-time. CaP knowledge was high in 43.9%, moderate in 46.6%, and low in 9.5%. Only 45% of the participants have undergone Prostate-Specific Antigen test, and 24.6% have had a Digital Rectal Examination. Reported past clinical trials and research participation were very low (9.38%). Participants with higher knowledge levels had higher information scores (p &lt; .0001), favored various research settings (p = 0.0008), had favorable attitudes towards CaP testing (p &lt; .0001), and were more likely to participate in research (p = 0.0117). Work status was found to impact CaP Knowledge (p = 0.0117). Participants with stronger beliefs about prostate cancer may have different attitudes toward testing (p = 0.0444). Age did not impact attitudes toward CaP testing (p = 0.4298). Conclusion: The knowledge of CaP was found to impact the attitudes, testing, and disposition of the participants towards research. The baseline data generated from the clinical study will curate insightful evidence that will create innovative approaches to prostate cancer education among males in Black communities.

TPS2700 Background: Though immunotherapy with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has led to improvements in clinical outcomes in patients with cancer, when used as monotherapy in the advanced setting, only 18-25% of patients respond to ICI. Notably, ICI frequently lacks anti-tumor activity in immune-cold cancers where T cell priming is missing. Recent breakthroughs in identifying personal neoantigens via a comprehensive analysis of cancer sequencing data have brought increased attention to neoantigen cancer vaccines. Personalized cancer vaccines targeting neoantigens have shown early promise. While neoantigens have recently been investigated in some cancer types, the current neoantigen prediction algorithms have often focused on the MHC class-I subtype, single nucleotide mutations (SNM), small insertions and deletions (INDEL). We recently developed an informatics workflow, REAL-neo, for the identification, quality control (QC), and prioritization of both class-I and class-II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) bound neoantigens that arise from somatic SNM, INDEL, aberrant RNA splicing, and gene fusions, generating much more potent neoantigen candidates. Furthermore, we demonstrated robust T-cell response and prolonged survival by combining ICI and cancer vaccines in preclinical models. This single-arm phase I clinical trial is in progress to assess the safety, feasibility, and immunogenicity of personalized neoantigen vaccines in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid cancers. Methods: The vaccine consists of up to 20 peptides (15-30 mer) comprising patient-specific neoantigens identified from tumor DNA and mRNA sequencing data using REAL-neo and delivered with GM-CSF as an adjuvant. The first cohort of three patients will be treated at dose level 1 consisting of 4 or 5 peptides at 300 mcg/peptide and GM-CSF 125 mcg per injection site in each of four limbs. After Cohort 1 is deemed safe, the study will expand to cohort 2, when patients will be enrolled at the same dose level for vaccine plus Pembrolizumab 200 mg i.v. Neoantigen vaccine will be given via subcutaneous injection on days 1, 4, 8, 15, and 21 (cohorts 1 and 2) and weeks 5 and 8 (booster dose for cohort 2 only). Cohort 1 has been completed without dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Enrollment in Cohort 2 began in January 2024. AEs are assessed according to CTCAE v5. and safety findings are reviewed by data safety medical board (DSMB). Key eligibility criteria include 1) histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancies and 2) cancer progression after at least one line of the standard-of-care (SOC) systemic treatment. For cohort 2, patients must be eligible to receive pembrolizumab per SOC or the treating physician’s judgment. Clinical trial information: NCT05269381 .
