ABSTRACT Background Sunlight has profound impacts on physical and mental health, beyond vision, including effects on circadian rhythms, alertness, mood, and sleep. A family history of any mood disorders is strongly associated with psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between a family history of any mood disorder in patients with bipolar I disorder and solar insolation at varied international onset locations. Methods Data for this analysis were available from 5842 patients with a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder obtained at 83 collection sites in both hemispheres. This included 4752 patients from 71 collection sites in the northern hemisphere and 1090 patients from 12 collection sites in the southern hemisphere. Patient data variables were obtained from records or interviews. Solar insolation data were obtained from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Power database for each onset location, and the ratio of the mean monthly minimum/mean monthly maximum solar insolation was calculated. Typically, the ratio is largest near the equator (little yearly change in solar insolation) and smallest near the poles (large yearly change in solar insolation). Results A significant relationship was found between a family history of any mood disorder, the ratio of the mean monthly minimum/mean monthly maximum solar insolation, and gender. The odds of a family history of mood disorder increased as patient location nears the poles and decreased near the equator. Female gender also increased the odds of having a family history of a mood disorder. Conclusions This study highlighted the association between family history, solar insolation, and gender in international patients with bipolar I disorder. Given the profound effects of sunlight on human health, the family of patients with bipolar disorder who live in the same location with the same solar insolation, and especially females, may be at increased risk for a mood disorder.

776 Background: There continues to be a significant unmet need for safe, effective, and bladder sparing treatment options for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). TARA-002 is a lyophilized biological preparation for intravesical instillation containing inactivated cells of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A, type 3) Su strain. TARA-002 rapidly enters cancer cells, activating TLR2 and NOD2 to trigger innate immunity, inflammation, and potential immunogenic cell death. ADVANCED-2 (NCT05951179) is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravesical TARA-002 in adults ≥ 18 years with high-grade (HG)-NMIBC CIS (± Ta/T1). Preliminary results showed promising complete response (CR) rates and durable responses in patients with HG NMIBC treated with TARA-002 (Jayram et al. AUA 2025). This abstract presents pooled safety data of TARA-002 from the BCG-naïve cohort and BCG-unresponsive cohort of the ADVANCED-2 study. Methods: The ADVANCED-2 study includes 2 cohorts of BCG-naïve (Cohort A) and BCG-unresponsive (Cohort B) participants. Key exclusion criteria include penicillin allergy; history of ≥ T2 bladder cancer, nodal, or metastatic disease; and concomitant prostatic or upper tract urothelial involvement. Each participant is treated with TARA-002 to receive induction (6 weekly doses), reinduction (if persistent disease at 3 months), and maintenance (through 24 months). Response is assessed every 3 months for 2 years. Long-term follow-up is conducted up to 60 months. Safety is monitored throughout the study. Results: As of 07-October-2025, 60 participants (median age: 74; range: 45 to 92), have been enrolled and exposed to TARA-002: 31 BCG-naïve (Cohort A) and 29 BCG-unresponsive (Cohort B). In both cohorts, 18/60 (30.0 %) participants reported drug-related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Related TEAEs were Grade 1 (18/60; 30.0%) and Grade 2 (3/60; 5.0%), with no reported Grade 3-5 related TEAEs. Commonly reported related TEAEs (≥ 5%) included bladder spasm (10.0%), dysuria (13.3%), fatigue (6.7%), and micturition urgency (6.7%). Most TEAEs were mild and transient. In both cohorts, 10/60 (16.7%) experienced serious AEs (SAEs); 4/60 (6.7%) were Grade 2 and 9/60 (15.0%) were Grade 3. No participants experienced drug-related SAEs or drug-related TEAEs leading to withdrawal or death. Conclusions: TARA-002 monotherapy was well tolerated, thus demonstrating a favorable tolerability profile to date for the treatment of BCG-naïve and BCG-unresponsive HG NMIBC with CIS (±Ta/T1). TARA-002 has a promising safety profile as a bladder-sparing treatment in HG NMIBC across BCG exposure status. Updated safety data will be provided based on evaluable time points at the time of the presentation. Clinical trial information: NCT05951179 .

77 Background: The incidence of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is increasing in the US, likely due to a decrease in screening practices. There has also been a rapid increase in recent years in the number of treatment options that can improve progression-free and overall survival (OS) for these patients. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes among patients with mHSPC treated in contemporary US clinical practice (2020 to 2025). Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort study used data from PRECISION, a harmonized dataset on advanced prostate cancer in patients in the US treated in a range of clinical settings. Patients aged ≥18 years who were diagnosed with mHSPC during 01/01/2020–01/01/2024 and who initiated ≥1 therapy (index date = first-line [1L] treatment initiation) were included. The study period was from 01/01/2010 to 06/30/2025. Patient characteristics at mHSPC diagnosis and treatment utilization were evaluated descriptively. Castration resistance-free survival (CRFS; defined as the time to castration-resistant prostate cancer or death) and OS were evaluated from index using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results: A total of 27,708 patients were included (median age, 72 years); 20,015 (72%) were treated in community urology, 4994 (18%) in community oncology, and 2669 (10%) in academic oncology centers at index. Almost half of patients (47%) initiated 1L treatment with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) monotherapy, 44% initiated a 1L doublet regimen (36% ADT + androgen receptor pathway inhibitor [ARPI], 5% 1L ADT + radiotherapy, 2% 1L ADT + docetaxel), and 5% a 1L triplet regimen (ADT + radiotherapy + ARPI or docetaxel); the remaining patients received other regimens. The 5-year CRFS rate was 41%; this was significantly higher in patients with a 1L doublet (45%) or triplet (58%) regimen compared with patients with 1L ADT monotherapy (31%; p<0.001). Similarly, the 5-year OS rate was 59% overall and was significantly higher in patients with a 1L doublet (61%) or triplet (59%) regimen compared with patients with 1L ADT monotherapy (55%; p<0.001) (Table). Conclusions: Though both CRFS and OS rates appear to be increasing among real-world patients with mHSPC, >40% of patients in this study died within 5 years of initiating 1L treatment. Patients who received guideline-recommended combined systemic treatment regimens experienced improved CRFS and OS, confirming the importance of implementing therapies in practice that prolong survival.

75 Background: Although the number of life-prolonging treatment options for pts with mHSPC has increased, initial real-world evidence has demonstrated slow uptake. This study utilized a large, contemporary, real-world dataset to evaluate the characteristics and treatment utilization among US pts with mHSPC in recent years. Methods: This retrospective, observational study used data from PRECISION, a harmonized dataset on pts with advanced prostate cancer. Adult men who were diagnosed with mHSPC during 01/01/2020–01/01/2024 (index date) and who initiated ≥1 therapy were included; the study period was 01/01/2010–06/30/2025. Pt characteristics were described at index. Treatment utilization was evaluated from index until progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, death, or last follow-up. If an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), docetaxel, or radiotherapy was started within 4 months of index/androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) start, it was considered a first-line (1L) combination; if it was started after >4 months, it was considered treatment intensification. All analyses were descriptive. Results: Among the 27,708 pts who met the inclusion criteria in PRECISION, 72%, 18%, and 10% were treated in community urology, community oncology, and academic oncology centers at index, respectively. Median age was 72 years; 62% were White; 43% were from the US South; 53% had synchronous and 54% had metachronous metastases (2% unknown). Median prostate-specific antigen level was 9 ng/mL (mean, 130 ng/mL). Prior to mHSPC diagnosis, 19% of pts had a prostatectomy and 17% had radiotherapy. Almost half of pts (47%) initiated 1L treatment with ADT monotherapy; 36% initiated 1L ADT + ARPI, 5% 1L ADT + radiotherapy, 2% 1L ADT + docetaxel, 5% 1L ADT + radiotherapy + ARPI or docetaxel, and 5% other regimens. From 2020 to 2023, 1L ADT monotherapy use decreased, while 1L combination use increased (Table). In addition, 19% of pts with 1L ADT monotherapy had evidence of subsequent treatment intensification, mainly the addition of an ARPI. Conclusions: In this study, use of 1L ADT monotherapy declined over time, accompanied by an increase in 1L combinations and treatment intensification. Nonetheless, approximately 1/3 of pts still did not receive a combination or intensification. Further research is needed to understand treatment trends in pts with mHSPC.

162 Background: Clinical trial conduct in advanced prostate cancer has changed dramatically with the continued development of new imaging approaches, molecular phenotypes and genetic subtypes, prognosis assessments, and effective therapies across a range of disease states. This created a need to redefine terminology and best practices for clinical trials. Methods: We convened PCWG4, an international expert committee of multidisciplinary working groups, between 2016 and 2025 to update and expand PCWG2-3 recommendations based on emerging evidence and clinical trial data in an innovative biomarker and imaging context to provide guidance for clinical trial design, eligibility, and endpoint assessments. Results: PCWG4 redefines terminology around disease states and prior therapies in a patient-centric context, considering imaging modalities, with a particular focus on PET-defined disease. New recommendations are provided for disease state terminology, defining eligibility criteria, imaging and non-imaging-based responses. We define delay/prevent endpoints including responses by pathology, ctDNA, circulating tumor cells, and PSA declines, and specify intervals for re-assessments including imaging, biomarker assessments, and patient reported outcomes. We propose new imaging-specific rPFS criteria including guidance with serial PSMA PET/CT imaging (Table). We provide recommendations in a biomarker-based context for the indication, reflective of patient benefit for specific interventions. We emphasize the need for development of validated PET imaging and molecular and phenotypic criteria as well as trial designs to appropriately risk stratify patients, predict and assess benefit, and measure post-treatment outcomes reliably in a trial framework. Conclusions: PCWG4 expands guidance on patient and tumor profiling, as well as therapy development, to include both androgen deprivation therapy sensitive and resistant settings, reflecting today’s more heterogeneous and diverse patient population to optimize outcomes.

TPS290 Background: Landmark randomized trials established the survival benefit of adding D to ADT in mCSPC. Building on this foundation, subsequent trials (PEACE-1 and ARASENS) demonstrated further survival improvements when androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) were added to the ADT + D backbone. However, the independent contribution of D within the triplet regimen remains unclear given lack of prospective evaluation. Additionally, tumor suppressor gene (TSG) alterations involving TP53, PTEN, and RB1 are frequently observed in PC and are associated with aggressive biology and poor outcomes, providing an opportunity to enhance prognostic accuracy and optimize selection of candidates for treatment intensification. We hypothesize that adding D to ADT plus A will improve survival compared to ADT + A in mCSPC and stratification by TSG status may identify different treatment effects across molecular subgroups. Methods: ASPIRE is an open-label, two-arm, randomized phase 3 study to assess the benefit of D added to ADT plus A for patients with mCSPC. Eligible patients include those with confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate with evidence of distant metastatic disease on conventional imaging and are appropriate to receive D. Patients with metachronous low-volume disease or PSMA-PET only disease are excluded. Candidates must have next-generation sequencing (NGS) results from a CLIA-certified tissue test available for TSG status stratification at registration. Eligible patients will receive ADT plus A (240 mg PO daily) +/- D for up to 6 cycles until progression of disease by PCWG3/RECIST version 1.1 criteria. Prior therapy with ADT (with or without ARPI) initiated within 120 days before registration is permitted. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include OS by TSG status; radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS); time to castration resistance; symptomatic skeletal event–free survival; time to worsening of disease-related symptoms (NCCN-FACT FPSI-17); safety and tolerability (CTCAE v5.0); PSA90 response at 6 weeks and 6 months; time to PSA progression; and objective response rate in patients with measurable disease. The study will enroll 1200 patients and is currently actively accruing patients. Clinical trial information: NCT06931340 .

TPS277 Background: Recent advances in genomic sequencing have deepened our understanding of the molecular complexity of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), revealing multiple actionable alterations that now inform biomarker-driven treatment strategies. Accordingly, germline and somatic tumor profiling is recommended for all patients with mCRPC. Beyond DNA aberrations, gene expression profiling can uncover additional therapeutic targets and pathway activations. The phase 2 PREDICT trial is leveraging both DNA and RNA alterations to guide rationally designed, biomarker-based therapeutic approaches for patients with mCRPC. Methods: This multi-center, multi-arm, biomarker-driven phase 2 umbrella trial is evaluating rationally selected therapies for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The primary endpoint is objective response rate in patients with measurable disease, with secondary endpoints including radiographic progression-free survival, PSA response, time to first symptomatic skeletal event, overall survival, safety, and correlative biomarker analyses. Eligible patients must have progressive mCRPC of any histology, prior treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), and either prior or declined taxane chemotherapy, with both measurable and non-measurable disease permitted. Enrollment requires standard-of-care next-generation DNA sequencing from tissue or circulating tumor DNA performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory, and RNA-based allocation will use the CLIA-certified Caris MI Tumor Seek assay (whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing) on tissue obtained within 12 months of study entry, with a real-time molecular tumor board reviewing results to confirm arm assignment. Patients with RB1 loss (DNA), an RB functional loss signature (RNA), or an NEPC signature (RNA) will receive the EZH1/2 inhibitor valemetostat; those with ≥2 of 3 tumor suppressor gene alterations (TP53, RB1, PTEN), FANC alterations (DNA), or SLFN11 overexpression (RNA) will receive cabazitaxel plus carboplatin; and those without study-defined alterations will receive physician’s choice of cabazitaxel, ARPI, or 177Lu-PSMA-617. The design permits incorporation of additional biomarker-defined arms, and up to 158 patients per arm (64 with measurable and 94 with non-measurable disease) will be accrued under a Simon two-stage minimax design, providing a one-sided type I error of 0.05 if the true response rate is 0.20 and 90% power if the response rate is 0.37 (Clinical trial information: NCT06632977).

743 Background: Although patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) have several emerging therapeutic options, there remains a clinical unmet need to improve efficacy, durability of response, and tolerability while obviating the need for radical cystectomy. TARA-002 is a lyophilized biological preparation for intravesical instillation containing inactivated cells of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A, type 3) Su strain. TARA-002 rapidly enters cancer cells, activating TLR2 and NOD2 to trigger the innate immune response, inflammation, and potential immunogenic cell death. Herein we present interim safety and efficacy data of TARA-002 from the BCG-unresponsive cohort of the ongoing ADVANCED-2 study (NCT05951179). Methods: ADVANCED-2 (Cohort B) is a Phase 2, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravesical TARA-002 in BCG-unresponsive adults ≥ 18 years with high-grade NMIBC CIS (± Ta/T1). Key exclusion criteria include penicillin allergy; history of ≥ T2 bladder cancer, nodal, or metastatic disease; or concomitant prostatic or upper tract urothelial involvement. TARA-002 is delivered intravesically for 2 hours and includes induction (6 weekly doses), reinduction (if persistent disease at 3 months), and maintenance (through 24 months). Response is assessed every 3 months for 2 years. Biopsy is mandated at Month 3. Long-term follow-up is conducted up to 60 months. Safety is monitored throughout the study. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) at any time defined by the absence of any high-grade recurrence. The key secondary endpoint is duration of response. Results: As of 07-October-2025, 32 BCG-unresponsive participants have been enrolled. Majority of participants were White (84.4%, 27 of 32), non-Hispanic (93.8%, 30 of 32), and male (68.8%, 22 of 32). The median age was 74 years (range: 47 to 92). The majority of participants had a baseline diagnosis of CIS only ie, without concomitant Ta/T1 (75.0%, 24 of 32). TARA-002 demonstrated a 68.4% (13 of 19) CR at any time in evaluable participants. The 6-month CR was 75.0% (9 of 12), the 9-month CR was 50.0% (4 of 8), and the 12-month CR was 37.5% (3 of 8). The salvage rate was 75.0% (6 of 8) with reinduction therapy. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild (CTCAE Grades 1-2) and transient; no participants experienced higher than Grade 3 TEAEs. No participants experienced drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) or drug-related TEAEs leading to withdrawal or death. Conclusions: In participants with BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC with CIS ± Ta/T1, TARA-002 appears to be well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy, supporting ongoing accrual of the ADVANCED-2 study. Further follow-up will inform durability of response, and data will be updated based on evaluable time points at the time of the presentation. Clinical trial information: NCT05951179 .
