Abstract 3964

Background

Ra-223 phase 3 study (ALSYMPCA) was conducted before Abi became available. The Ra-223 iEAP study included Abi-treated pts. Here, we assessed SSEs, OS and bone health agent (BHA) use in Ra-223-treated pts who received Abi as a prior treatment.

Methods

This open-label, single-arm trial enrolled pts with bone-predominant mCRPC (≥2 bone metastases [BM]). Pts who received prior anti-cancer therapies were included; use of BHAs (bisphosphonates and denosumab) was permitted before/during the study. Median follow-up was 7.5 mo. Baseline characteristics, SSEs, (EBRT, symptomatic pathological fractures, spinal cord compression or surgical intervention) and OS were analysed descriptively for pts who completed prior Abi therapy and Abi-naïve pts.

Results

Of 708 mCRPC pts, 85% of prior Abi and 36% of Abi-naïve pts had previously received docetaxel (Table). During Ra-223 therapy, 14% and 17% of pts received concomitant bisphosphonates and 20% and 17% concomitant denosumab in the prior Abi and Abi-naïve groups, respectively. Median time since BM diagnosis and start of Ra-223 was 37 and 21 mo in the prior Abi and Abi-naïve pts, respectively. Median OS was 15.9 mo overall (11.2 mo for prior Abi and 17.1 mo for Abi-naïve pts). More pts had SSEs in the prior Abi (26%) than the Abi-naïve group (14%); proportions of treatment-emergent fractures were similar in both groups (4% and 3%, respectively), as was incidence of pathological bone fractures (5% for both).Table: 824P

Conclusions

Pts in the prior Abi group had a longer time from diagnosis of BM to Ra-223 initiation. These pts seem more advanced, as reflected by higher median baseline PSA and more pts with prior docetaxel therapy. BHAs appear to be under-utilised in clinical practice in this pt population. A similar rate of pathological and non-pathological fractures was reported in Ra-223-treated pts regardless of prior use of Abi.
