5071 Background: Best treatment of mCSPC involves doublet therapy (ADT + novel hormonal agent) or triplet therapy (ADT + novel hormone + docetaxel); however, opportunity remains for further improvement. Studies show that homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations are enriched in metastatic prostate cancer, and may portend resistance to docetaxel. CASCARA tested quadruplet therapy (ADT + cabazitaxel/carboplatin + abiraterone) in high-volume mCSPC, aiming to enhance PSA responses and decrease progression at 1 year. Methods: This phase 2 study enrolled 61 mCSPC patients with high-volume disease who received ADT plus cabazitaxel (20 mg/m2 q21d x 6) and carboplatin (AUC=4 q21d x 6) followed by abiraterone (1000 mg, plus prednisone 5 mg). Primary endpoint was freedom from PSA/radiographic progression at 1 year. Other endpoints included PSA50 response, freedom from PSA progression, and safety. Archival biopsies were retrospectively evaluated for HRR ( BRCA1/2, ATM, CHEK2, CDK12, BRIP1, RAD51B) mutations at a CLIA-certified lab. A sample size of 61 was determined using a Simon two-stage design (stage 1: 32 men, stage 2: 29 men) with a null hypothesis of a 1-year PSA/radiographic progression-free rate of 0.80 against a one-sided alternative of 0.92. Results: From 11/2019 to 06/2022, 61 men enrolled at 7 sites. Median age was 64 (range, 45–76) years; 21% were African American. Median baseline PSA was 8.9 (range, 0.1–1021) ng/mL. 44% of men had ECOG=1. 91% had Gleason sum 8–10. Prevalence of DNA alterations (50 evaluable pts) was 18% for HRR mutations, 38% for TP53 muts, 22% for ERG fusions, 10% for SPOP muts. Freedom from PSA/radiographic progression at 1 year was 77% (95% CI, 63–87%), and freedom from PSA progression at 1 year was 81% (95% CI, 67–90%). The PSA50 rate response was 97%. PSA ≤0.2 ng/mL at month-7, a surrogate for survival in other mCSPC studies, was 61%; PSA ≤4 ng/mL at month-7 was 82%. Outcomes according to mutation status are shown. AEs included 7% grade (Gr)-3/4 myelosuppression, 8% Gr-3/4 infections, 10% Gr-3 GI disorders, and 3% Gr-3 fatigue. There were 4 treatment-related discontinuations. Conclusions: Quadruplet therapy with ADT + cabazitaxel/carboplatin + abiraterone was well tolerated. At 1 year, 77% of pts were progression-free. PSA ≤0.2 ng/mL at month-7 was 61%, exceeding the historical month-7 PSA ≤0.2 ng/mL rate of 45% in CHAARTED–docetaxel arm. Further exploration of this quadruplet strategy in randomized phase III studies is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT03934840 . [Table: see text]

202 Background: Cabazitaxel and prednisone (Cbz/pred) extend survival in mCRPC patients (pts) following docetaxel and first-line studies comparing Cbz to docetaxel are ongoing. Mito/pred also has anti-tumor activity in mCRPC and a non-overlapping mechanism of action and toxicity profile with Cbz. A multicenter phase 1 trial was initiated to establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of Cbz, Mito, and Pred(CAMP). Methods: Chemotherapy (chemo)-naive pts with mCRPC were enrolled in an accelerated titration design. The primary objective was to determine the MTD and RP2D of CAMP; secondary objectives included PSA response rate and duration of response. Cbz 20 and 25 mg/m2 were evaluated in combination with escalating doses of Mito (starting dose 4 mg/m2), both administered on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Pred 5 mg BID and pegfilgrastim were given with each cycle. Results: 23 pts were enrolled. The median age was 66 (range 51-78) and the median baseline PSA was 62.5 (range 3-791.2). There were 2 DLTs (sepsis and febrile neutropenia) observed at the dose level of Cbz 25 mg/m2 + Mito 10 mg/m2 (n = 4). There was 1 DLT (febrile neutropenia) observed with Cbz 20 mg/m2 (N = 12), establishing Cbz 20 mg/m2 + Mito 12 mg/m2 as the MTD and RP2D. The most common grade ³ 3 related adverse events were hematologic (neutropenia, n = 9; thrombocytopenia, n = 3; febrile neutropenia, n = 3). The median number of treatment cycles was 7.5 (range 2-16), and 2 pts remain on study. Greater than or equal to 50% maximal PSA declines from baseline were observed in 12 of 19 evaluable pts(63%). The median duration of response has not been reached (range 4.9-10.0+ months). Conclusions: The approved single-agent dose of Mito (12 mg/m2) was safely combined with Cbz 20 mg/m2, a dose with demonstrated activity in mCRPC and potentially less hematologic toxicity than 25 mg/m2. Preliminary efficacy data are encouraging with durable control of disease observed in a subset of pts. Further study of the treatment combination is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01594918.
