TPS5130 Background: Patients with prostate cancer and deleterious HRRa have poorer prognosis but derive benefit from poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. However, prevalence of HRRa and response to PARP inhibition are less well defined in racial/ethnic minorities. We designed the HARMONY trial to evaluate the efficacy of N/AA/P in HL and NHB patients with mHSPC and deleterious HRRa. Methods: This multicenter, open label, phase II study is open through the Hoosier Cancer Research Network in the United States. The trial enrolls patients who self-identify as HL or NHB and have mHSPC with HRRa including BRCA 1/2, BRIP1, CHEK2, FANCA, PALB2, RAD51B, and/or RAD54L. Eligible patients will have hormone sensitive, treatment naïve or minimally treated prostate cancer (i.e., bicalutamide ≤ 45 days, androgen deprivation therapy [ADT] ± AA plus P ≤ 45 days allowed). Prostate cancer variants, other therapy in mHSPC setting, or symptomatic brain metastases are exclusionary. Enrolled patients will receive 24 weeks (w) of ADT plus N/AA dual action tablet (DAT) plus P, followed by an adaptive approach based on prostate specific antigen (PSA) response. Subjects in Arm A (PSA > 4.0 ng/mL at 24 w) can continue ADT/N/AA/P for max 2 years or stop N and escalate therapy to ADT/AA/P plus 6 cycles of docetaxel followed by standard of care (SOC) therapy. Subjects in Arm B (PSA ≤ 4.0 ng/mL at 24 w) will continue ADT/N/AA/P for a total of 12 months. At 12 months in Arm B, subjects with PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL will continue ADT/N/AA/P for max 2 years, and subjects achieving PSA < 0.2 ng/mL have the option to continue ADT/N/AA/P for max 2 years or discontinue all therapy with the option to start SOC treatment at disease progression. PSA decline to < 0.2 ng/mL at 24w (primary endpoint) will be evaluated for each racial/ethnicity group against a historic rate of 50%. Thirty patients per racial/ethnic cohort will give 80% power at 0.1 significance to determine noninferiority with a no-inferiority margin of 0.185. Estimating 5% drop out, 64 patients will be enrolled (n=32 HL and n=32 NHB). Key secondary/exploratory endpoints include PSA reduction ≥ 90%, overall response rate, PSA/radiographic progression free survival, overall survival, time to subsequent anti-cancer therapy, quality of life and safety. Key genomic correlatives will be evaluated. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06392841. Study support of drug and funding: Janssen Scientific Affairs LLC. Clinical trial information: NCT06392841 .

5069 Background: Ra-223 improves the overall survival in patients with mCRPC to the bone. We assessed the safety of standard-of-care Ra-223 in combination with peposertib, a DNA-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, with or without avelumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody. Methods: Patients with mCRPC and two or more skeletal metastases identified by bone scintigraphy with or without lymph node metastases up to 3 cm in size, but no visceral metastases, were eligible. Progression after progression after at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor or taxane was required. Phase 1 consisted of a two-step sequential safety lead-in using a 3+3 design. Step 1 combined 6 standard cycles of Ra-223 (55 kBq/kg), with increasing doses of peposertib: 50, 100, and 200 mg PO bid on days 3-26 of each cycle. Step 2 combined Ra-223 with the maximum tolerated dose of peposertib and added standard avelumab 800 mg IV every 14 days, starting at cycle 2 of Ra-223. Results: A total of 9 patients participated in Step 1, where the maximum tolerated peposertib dose of 200 mg PO bid with Ra-223 was deemed tolerable. A total of 6 patients participated in Step 2 and the combination of Ra-223, peposertib at 200 mg PO bid, and standard avelumab was deemed tolerable. Of the 15 patients in Phase 1, none experienced grade 4 or higher treatment-related toxicities, while 7 experienced grade 3 toxicities, including neutropenia (1), anemia (1), cardiac chest pain (1), fall (1), maculopapular rash (2), and lymphopenia (2). The median (Q1, Q3) PSA velocity from the beginning to the end of treatment was lower for Step 2 versus Step 1: 2.1 (-0.1, 4.6) versus 23.5 (18.6, 77.1) ng/mL/month (p = 0.0067). OS and PFS were calculated with the limitation that the Phase 1 was non-randomized. Median OS was not reached for Step 2, as only 1 of 6 patients had died, versus 15.2 months for Step 1, where 8 out of 9 patients had died (p = 0.0537). The patient who died in Step 2 discontinued therapy prematurely after 3 cycles due to progression and survived 15.2 months (the 5 alive completed all 6 cycles). The median radiographic PFS was 7 months for Step 2 versus 12.7 months for Step 1 (p = 0.8910). Conclusions: The combination of Ra-223 and peposertib, with or without avelumab was well tolerated. The triplet combination showed the most promising results at this early evaluation. We continue to accrue in the randomized Phase II portion of the trial. Clinical trial information: NCT04071236 .

PURPOSE The COSMIC-021 study assessed the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib plus atezolizumab in advanced solid tumors. Presented here are results from the expansion cohorts with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). METHODS This phase Ib study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03170960 ) enrolled patients with inoperable locally advanced/metastatic UC into four tumor cohorts: first-line cisplatin-eligible (cis-eligible), first-line cisplatin-ineligible (cis-ineligible), previous platinum-containing chemotherapy (previous chemotherapy-treated), and previous immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)–treated. Patients received oral cabozantinib 40 mg once daily and intravenous atezolizumab 1,200 mg once every 3 weeks. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR), as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks for 12 months and every 12 weeks thereafter; the secondary end point was safety. RESULTS A total of 121 patients (previous ICI-treated cohort, n = 31, and each of the other cohorts, n = 30) received study treatment from March 2018 to November 2021. The ORR (95% CI) was 30% (15 to 49) for cis-eligible, 20% (8 to 39) for cis-ineligible, 27% (12 to 46) for previous chemotherapy-treated, and 10% (2 to 26) for previous ICI-treated cohorts. The median progression-free survival (95% CI) was 5.5 (1.6 to 11.6), 5.6 (3.1 to 11.1), 5.4 (1.6 to 7.6), and 3.0 (1.8 to 5.5) months, respectively. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were experienced by 43%, 67%, 57%, and 45% of patients, respectively. TRAEs led to discontinuation of all treatment components in 17%, 13%, 3%, and 19%, respectively. No grade 5 TRAEs were reported in any cohort. CONCLUSION The novel combination of cabozantinib plus atezolizumab exhibited clinical activity in advanced UC that is cis-eligible, cis-ineligible, or previously treated with platinum-containing chemotherapy; clinical activity in previous ICI-treated UC was modest. The toxicity profile was consistent with that previously reported for the combination.

164 Background: Lurbinectedin (L) is a novel inhibitor of oncogenic transcription that was granted accelerated approval by the Food and Drug Administration in June 2020 for the treatment of metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) following disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC). Prostatic small cell or neuroendocrine carcinoma (SC/NEPC) is a high-grade, invasive malignancy that accounts for < 1% of all prostate cancers. SC/NEPC is distinct from prostatic adenocarcinoma and behaves similar to SCLC. NCCN guidelines for SC/NEPC recommend following the SCLC treatment guidelines. Using these guidelines, L may be used as a second-line treatment in patients (pts) with SC/NEPC who progress on or after PBC. We aimed to characterize the baseline characteristics, clinical course and therapeutic outcomes of pts treated with L for SC/NEPC. Methods: After IRB approval, 18 cases were gathered from 4 academic oncology centers. Baseline patient data, prior treatments and L treatment outcomes, including best radiographic and serologic responses, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment toxicity were assessed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate OS and PFS from the L start date. Clinical benefit rate (CBR) included pts with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) on imaging. Results: At the time of first L dose, all had metastatic disease with 2-6 distinct sites of metastases, most commonly bone (14/18, 77.8%), lymph nodes (14/18, 77.8%) and liver (13/18, 72.2%); median age was 63.5 (Range: 53-84); 11 pts (61.1%) had an ECOG 0-1; 4 pts (22.2%) had an ECOG of 2-3. The median total number of systemic therapies administered prior to L was 4 (Range: 2-7). All pts received PBC prior to L. The most common dose of L prescribed was 3.2 mg/m2 every 21 days (15/18, 83.3%). Androgen deprivation therapy was administered in conjunction with L in 9 pts (50%). The median number of cycles of L was 5 (Range: 1-10). L was discontinued due to toxicity in 1 patient (5.6%), disease progression in 10 pts (55.6%), transition to hospice in 2 pts (11.1%), 3 pts (16.7%) died while receiving treatment (not due to L toxicity), and 2 pts (11.1%) remained on L at the time of data reporting. The median OS and PFS from date of first L dose was 6.01 months (0.23 – 16.69) and 3.35 months (0.16 – 7.79), respectively. CBR was 9/16 (56.3%) with partial response in 5 pts (31.3%), stable disease in 4 pts (25%), and progressive disease in 7 pts (43.8%). Two pts did not have post-treatment imaging available to assess response. There were no hospitalizations for L treatment related adverse events (tRAE). The most common tRAE were grade I and II fatigue and anemia; 9 pts (50%) experienced no tRAE. The only grade IV toxicity was neutropenia in 3 pts (16.7%). Conclusions: L is a well-tolerated and active treatment option for patients with SC/NEPC. Prospective studies are needed to determine the role of L in the treatment of SC/NEPC.
