Abstract Purpose: This multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of cabazitaxel and carboplatin followed by abiraterone, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), in patients with high-volume metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Patients and Methods: Eligible patients had high-volume mCSPC and ≤3 months of prior ADT. Patients received six 21-day cycles of cabazitaxel (20 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 4) with continuous ADT, followed by maintenance abiraterone (1,000 mg daily) and prednisone (5 mg daily). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients free of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or radiographic progression at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included complete PSA response (≤0.2 ng/mL), objective response, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Overall survival (OS) was also reported. Results: Sixty-one participants were enrolled at eight sites. The median age was 64 years, median baseline PSA was 6.6 ng/mL (0.07–745.7 ng/mL), 73.3% had Gleason grade group 5, 69.5% had 10 or more metastases, and 19.6% had a homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutation. PSA PFS at 12 months was 84.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 72.5%–91.7%], and OS at 12 months was 94.8% (84.7%–98.3%). Complete PSA response was 66.7%, and complete objective response was 30.7%. Contrary to our hypothesis, relative to HRR wild-type patients, HRR-mutated patients (19.6%) had numerically fewer complete PSA responses (33.3% vs. 70.3%) and inferior PFS (HR, 2.43; 95% CI, 0.93–6.39). Common side effects of this quadruplet regimen included fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. Conclusions: Cabazitaxel and carboplatin followed by abiraterone, together with ADT, were feasible, safe, and efficacious in patients with high-volume mCSPC and warrant further study in larger randomized trials.

Abstract Background: Hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis (HNP) is a highly lethal form of pancreatitis that lacks mechanism-based therapy. Intra-acinar enzyme activation is fundamental to pancreatitis initiation, yet it does not explain why only a subset of episodes progress to catastrophic hemorrhagic necrosis. Objective: To identify determinants of progression to lethal HNP and test a mechanism-based preventive intervention. Design: Using humanized trypsinogen mouse models and secretagogue regimens, we compared high-dose cerulein with low/moderate-dose cerulein and bombesin. We quantified pancreatic protease activity, performed blinded histopathologic scoring, assessed hemorrhage/vascular disruption, and evaluated enzyme localization and ductal injury by PRSS1 immunostaining. De-identified human pancreatic histology from HNP were examined. We tested a repurposed strategy using clinically approved agents for other indications: secretin to stimulate ductal fluid secretion and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) to promote ductal outflow via sphincter of Oddi relaxation. Results: High-dose cerulein induced robust intrapancreatic protease activation but predominantly caused edematous pancreatitis. Paradoxically, bombesin and low/moderate-dose cerulein elicited lower total pancreatic protease activity yet produced severe, frequently lethal HNP with vascular disruption and lobular ischemic necrosis. HNP was associated with intraductal enzyme accumulation and ductal injury. Secretin or ISMN alone showed limited protection, whereas combined secretin+ISMN prevented hemorrhagic necrotizing injury. Conclusion: Pancreatitis severity is determined not only by the magnitude of enzyme activation but also by where enzyme activity is exerted, implicating intraductal enzyme accumulation as a mechanistic determinant and therapeutic target in HNP. Coordinated enhancement of ductal secretion and outflow with clinically approved agents prevents HNP in vivo, supporting a translatable prevention strategy.

88 Background: The VISION (NCT03511664) and PSMAfore (NCT04689828) clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with mCRPC who have previously received androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) with or without taxane-based chemotherapy. Sipuleucel-T is used for treatment of mCRPC in routine clinical practice, particularly among community urologists; however, to date, there are no data available to understand the effectiveness of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 in patients previously treated with sipuleucel-T. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study of adult patients with a diagnosis of mCRPC who received 177 Lu-PSMA-617 between March 23, 2022, and June 27, 2025, and had a history of treatment with sipuleucel-T. Data were obtained from the PRECISION data platform, a harmonized dataset of patients with advanced prostate cancer in the US that integrates electronic health records and claims data from community, academic, urology, and medical oncology settings. The index date was the date of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation. Patient characteristics and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rates were evaluated descriptively. Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation to disease progression or death, was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves. Results: A total of 290 patients met the inclusion criteria, of whom 72% were White and 12% were Black. At index, 32% of patients were treated in urology and 68% in oncology settings. The median age was 74 years, the median baseline PSA was 35.3 ng/mL (interquartile range [IQR] 10.0–99.2 ng/mL), and 57% of patients had a Gleason score of ≥8. In addition to sipuleucel-T, prior to 177 Lu-PSMA-617, 97% of patients had received ≥1 ARPI and 79% had received ≥1 taxane. The median follow-up for this cohort was 9.4 months (IQR 5.3–17.5 months). Among 144 patients with available PSA values both before and during 177 Lu-PSMA-617 treatment (representing 50% of the cohort), PSA response rates were as follows: a ≥50% reduction in PSA from baseline (PSA50) was observed in 60%, PSA80 in 42%, and PSA90 in 33% of patients. Overall, the median PFS was 15.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.6–19.4 months). Conclusions: In this real-world analysis of patients who received 177 Lu-PSMA-617 after sipuleucel-T treatment, the median PFS was similar to that observed in clinical trials, suggesting that 177 Lu-PSMA-617 can be sequenced after sipuleucel-T treatment in appropriate patients.

81 Background: In the PSMAfore clinical trial, 177 Lu-PSMA-617 achieved a PSA50 (defined as a ≥50% reduction in prostate-specific antigen [PSA] from baseline) response rate in 58%, a median radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) of 12 months, and a median overall survival (OS) of 25 months among taxane-naïve patients with mCRPC who had received one prior androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 in taxane-naïve patients with mCRPC who had received one or more prior ARPIs. Methods: This retrospective, observational study included taxane-naïve adults with mCRPC initiating 177 Lu-PSMA-617 between March 23, 2022, and June 27, 2025, after ≥1 prior ARPI. All data for the study were extracted from the PRECISION data platform, a harmonized dataset of patients with advanced prostate cancer in the US treated in a variety of clinical settings. The index date was the date of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation. Patient characteristics and PSA response rates were evaluated descriptively. PFS, defined as the time from 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation to progression or death, was estimated using Kaplan–Meier methodology. Results: A total of 500 patients were included. The median age was 75 years, 75% of patients were White and 8% Black, and 18% were treated in urology centers while 82% were treated in oncology centers. The most common site of metastasis was bone (77%), followed by lymph node (21%), visceral (12%), and unknown (5%). Overall, 51% had received 1 previous ARPI while 49% had received ≥2. The median baseline PSA was 26.7 ng/mL (interquartile range [IQR] 10−105 ng/mL) and the median time from mCRPC diagnosis to 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation was 23.6 months. The median number of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 cycles received was 4 (IQR 2−6). Among 219 patients with available PSA measurements both before and during 177 Lu-PSMA-617 treatment (representing 44% of the cohort), PSA response rates were as follows: PSA50 in 137 (63%), PSA80 in 86 (39%), and PSA90 in 56 (26%) patients. Overall, the median PFS was 13.5 months (95% confidence interval 11.7–14.7 months). Conclusions: The effectiveness of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 as a standard-of-care treatment in real-world, taxane-naïve patients with mCRPC who had received prior treatment with ≥1 ARPI is consistent with results from the PSMAfore trial, confirming the applicability of those findings to the real-world population now eligible for 177 Lu-PSMA-617. Further research on sequencing 177 Lu-PSMA-617 after one or more prior ARPIs in taxane-naïve patients with mCRPC is needed to guide optimal treatment sequencing in clinical practice.

79 Background: In March 2025, the indication for 177 Lu-PSMA-617 was expanded to include prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive patients with mCRPC treated with ≥1 androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and considered appropriate to delay taxane-based chemotherapy. With 177 Lu-PSMA-617 moving earlier in the treatment journey, it is important to understand the clinical activity of other systemic therapies after 177 Lu-PSMA-617. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes among patients with mCRPC receiving a systemic therapy after 177 Lu-PSMA-617 treatment. Methods: This retrospective, observational study used real-world data from the PRECISION data platform, a proprietary dataset developed by Novartis representative of patients with advanced prostate cancer in the US from diverse clinical settings. Patients with mCRPC treated with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 who received a systemic therapy ≥14 days after treatment with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 between March 23, 2022, and June 27, 2025, were included. Systemic therapies included ARPIs (abiraterone, enzalutamide, darolutamide, apalutamide); chemotherapy (cabazitaxel, docetaxel, carboplatin, cisplatin, etoposide, mitoxantrone); immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, sipuleucel-T); poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (niraparib, olaparib, talazoparib, rucaparib); and radium-223. Patient characteristics and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response were evaluated descriptively. Progression-free survival (PFS) from subsequent therapy initiation was estimated using Kaplan–Meier methodology. Results: A total of 442 patients receiving any subsequent systemic therapy after 177 Lu-PSMA-617 were included. Overall, 95% of patients received ≥1 ARPI and 76% ≥1 taxane pre- 177 Lu-PSMA-617. The median age was 73 years. Most patients received a taxane (n = 188), an ARPI (n = 176), or a PARP inhibitor (n = 33) as their subsequent therapy. The median time to subsequent therapy initiation was 70 days (interquartile range 38−137 days) from the last 177 Lu-PSMA-617 administration. Among 299 patients receiving a systemic therapy after 177 Lu-PSMA-617 with PSA values available both pre-index and during subsequent treatment, 48% achieved a ≥50% reduction in PSA from baseline (PSA50), 31% a PSA80, and 18% a PSA90. The median PFS from the initiation of subsequent therapy was 8.6 months in the entire cohort; this was 10.7 months with a subsequent ARPI, 7.2 months with a subsequent taxane, and 7.1 months with a subsequent PARP inhibitor. Conclusions: In this real-world analysis, meaningful clinical responses were observed in a subset of patients who received subsequent systemic therapies after 177 Lu-PSMA-617.

78 Background: 177 Lu-PSMA-617 is currently under investigation in combination with an ARPI in those with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (PSMAddition trial: NCT04720157). This observational study was performed to assess the effectiveness of 177 Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with an ARPI in patients with mCRPC in the real-world setting. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adults with mCRPC in the PRECISION data platform, a comprehensive database of prostate cancer patients compiled from diverse clinical settings in the US. Patients who received 177 Lu-PSMA-617 during March 23, 2022–June 27, 2025 were identified, among whom two cohorts were selected for inclusion: those who had evidence of ARPI use (apalutamide, darolutamide, abiraterone, or enzalutamide) at any time during 177 Lu-PSMA-617 treatment (concomitant ARPI cohort), and those who had no other treatment for mCRPC during 177 Lu-PSMA-617 treatment (no concomitant therapy cohort). The index date was initiation of 177 Lu-PSMA-617. Patient characteristics and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses were evaluated descriptively. Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation to disease progression or death, was estimated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results: A total of 1,880 patients treated with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 were identified, 140 in the concomitant ARPI cohort and 1,740 in the no concomitant therapy cohort. The median age was 74 years. Demographic characteristics were balanced between the groups, except that median baseline PSA was lower in the concomitant ARPI cohort when compared with patients in the no concomitant therapy cohort (18 ng/mL vs. 32 ng/mL). Before 177 Lu-PSMA-617 initiation, 94.3% and 73.6% of patients in the concomitant ARPI and 80.9% and 56.7% in the no concomitant therapy cohort had received ≥1 prior ARPI and ≥1 prior taxane, respectively. PSA response rates were broadly comparable between cohorts. The median (95% confidence interval) PFS was 14.7 (11.7–21.3) months among patients in the concomitant ARPI cohort vs 12.5 (11.5–13.6) months in the no concomitant therapy cohort. Ongoing follow-up aims to evaluate the impact of combining ARPI with 177 Lu-PSMA-617 on long-term clinical outcomes, including overall survival. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that 177 Lu-PSMA-617 delivers clinical benefits inpatients with mCRPC with or without ARPI; however, addition of an ARPI may potentially improve these benefits. Prospective randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm this.

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.

TPS898 Background: Enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab (EV/Pembro) is now first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC) following the EV-302/KEYNOTE-A39 trial, which demonstrated a 67.7% response rate and prolonged survival. However, ~35% of cancers exhibited primary resistance and most responders relapse within one year, with post-EV/Pembro therapies achieving < 15% response and median survival < 3 years. We previously showed that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) removed soluble PD-L1 and other immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) blocking soluble factors from the blood and that this overcame ICI resistance. Combining TPE with EV/Pembro rechallenge may overcome acquired resistance and restore antitumor immunity. Methods: RECIPE-B1 [NCT07087860] is an open-label, randomized phase II trial enrolling 50 patients (1:1) with EV/Pembro-refractory la/mUC and ECOG 0–2. Arm A receives TPE on days 1–3 followed by EV 1.25 mg/kg IV plus pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on day 3 of each 21-day cycle for the first three cycles, then continues EV/Pembro alone from cycle 4. Arm B receives investigator’s-choice next-line standard of care (SOC) per NCCN guidelines. Tumor assessments occur at the end of cycle 4 (±28 days) and every 12 weeks thereafter; safety is monitored each cycle (CTCAE v5.0). The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1, comparing TPE + EV/pembro versus SOC. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-CIPN20), and safety. Correlative studies evaluate circulating and urinary tumor DNA and exosomal biomarkers (including exosomal Nectin-4) as predictors of response and resistance. The trial is open at Mayo Clinic; as of September 2025, 2 of 50 patients have been enrolled, with planned accrual of ~2 patients/month and central coordination at Mayo Clinic and affiliates. Clinical trial information: NCT07087860 .

TPS892 Background: Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab (Pembro) is now first-line therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC), yielding ~30% complete response (CR) rates; nevertheless, most patients (pts) progress within 1 year and median overall survival (OS) remains < 3 years. In muscle invasive bladder cancer, local consolidation after systemic therapy improves outcomes, suggesting that residual, treatment-refractory intravesical disease drives relapse. We hypothesize that cytoreductive cystectomy/nephroureterectomy (CC/U)—with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) as needed—can consolidate responses to EV/Pembro and extend benefit in regionally advanced or metastatic UC. CAST-AI prospectively evaluates this multimodal strategy and integrates correlative studies of exosomal Nectin-4 and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from blood and urine as predictive/MRD biomarkers. Methods: CAST-AI is a phase II, decentralized single-arm trial enrolling pts with histologically confirmed UC of the bladder or upper urinary tract with ≥N1 and/or M1 disease and ECOG PS 0–2 who are potential surgical candidates (planned n = 75). Treatment: EV 1.25 mg/kg IV D1 & D8 + Pembro 200 mg IV D1 q21d, ≥4 cycles; MDT permitted any time pre-surgery. Response assessments occur q9 weeks (±4) to 18 months, then q12 weeks (±4). Surgical eligibility requires: (A) fitness for surgery; (B) complete or partial response (CR/PR) or, for select low-burden/unmeasurable disease, urologist-adjudicated candidacy; (C) all distant sites addressed; and (D) procedure in pt’s best interest. Post-CC/U maintenance EV/Pembro is encouraged per clinical discretion and guided by definitive surgical pathology results, which provide true pathologic staging often unattainable through imaging after systemic therapy. Primary endpoint: 12-month progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints: Objective response rate (ORR), CR rate, down-staging at CC/U, PFS, OS, and safety (using CTCAE). Exploratory endpoints: longitudinal exosomal Nectin-4 and ctDNA dynamics as MRD and early relapse indicators; tissue–blood–urine Nectin-4 concordance; pt-reported tolerability (using CIPN20). Key exclusions: > 20% variant histology or disallowed subtypes (e.g., micropapillary, plasmacytoid, sarcomatoid, neuroendocrine); prior chemotherapy for UC; contraindications to surgery/EV/ICI; or active uncontrolled comorbidities/infections. Status: Enrollment is open and ongoing, with 25 of 75 pts enrolled as of September 2025. The trial uses a decentralized model, allowing pts to receive EV/Pembro at their local facility, with central coordination, biospecimen shipping, and surgical evaluation at Mayo Clinic or affiliated sites.
