Abstract 5331

Background

Ra-223 demonstrated a significant overall survival benefit and favourable safety profile in mCRPC in the ALSYMPCA study (Parker C et al. N Engl J Med 2013; 369:213–223). PARABO (NCT02398526) is an ongoing, prospective, observational, non-interventional, single-arm study with a primary objective to evaluate pain response in mCRPC pts treated with Ra-223 in a real-world setting.

Methods

The aim of this interim analysis was to assess the impact of Ra-223 on pain response, with and without the use of opioids. Pain response was determined by the worst pain item on the Brief Pain Inventory–Short Form (BPI-SF) questionnaire. A clinically meaningful pain response was defined as an improvement of ≥ 2 points; a 95% exact (Clopper–Pearson) confidence interval was reported.

Results

Of the 346 pts enrolled, 311 were included in the interim safety analysis set, 49% of whom used opioids at any time in the study. At baseline (BL), 185/311 (59.5%) had an ECOG performance status of 1 and 222/304 (73.0%) had ≥6 metastatic lesions (but not a superscan). Lumbar vertebrae, pelvis and thigh were amongst the most frequently reported areas of most pain at BL. During the observation period after Ra-223 treatment, 126/211 (59.7%) pts had a clinically meaningful pain response. Of the pts who used opioids vs those who did not, 62/113 (54.9%) vs 64/98 (65.3%) had a clinically meaningful pain response, and 28/110 (25.5%) vs 19/127 (15.0%) achieved almost complete relief after the third dose of Ra-223, respectively.Table:

According to patients’ answer to the question “In the last 24 hours, how much relief have pain treatments or medications provided?” in the BPI-SF questionnaire.

Conclusions

In this study, reflective of real clinical practice, the majority (73.0%) of pts had multiple lesions at BL and almost half (49%) used opioids. Over half (59.7%) of pts reported a decrease in worst pain after Ra-223 treatment, irrespective of opioid use. Of pts who used vs did not use opioids, 54.9% vs 65.3% achieved a clinically meaningful pain response. Overall, a fifth (19.8%) of pts achieved almost complete relief after the third dose of Ra-223.
