Abstract 3405

Background

Effective therapies for pts with treatment-refractory mCRPC are an important unmet medical need. Niraparib is a highly selective poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor of PARP-1 and PARP-2 DNA-repair polymerases.

Methods

GALAHAD is an ongoing open-label phase II study assessing niraparib (300 mg daily) in pts with mCRPC and DRD with disease progression on taxane and androgen receptor-targeted therapy. DRD status was evaluated by a plasma or tissue-based test and defined as having biallelic alterations in BRCA1/2 (BRCA), ATM, FANCA, PALB2, CHEK2, BRIP1, or HDAC2. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1 with no evidence of bone progression as per the PCWG3 criteria. Composite response rate (CRR) was defined as ORR, conversion of circulating tumor cells to < 5/7.5 mL blood, or ≥ 50% decline in prostate specific antigen.

Results

As of 23 May 2019, 165 pts were enrolled, of whom 81 had biallelic DRD (46 BRCA and 35 non-BRCA) and had a minimum of 16 weeks of follow up. 51/81 had measurable disease at baseline (29 BRCA and 22 non-BRCA); 47% of pts had visceral metastases. Median follow-up in BRCA and non-BRCA was 7.3 and 6.4 mo, respectively. In BRCA, ORR was 41% and CRR was 63% (table); median duration of objective response was 5.5 mo (range: 3.5–9.2). 7/12 BRCA responses were ongoing. Median rPFS and OS in BRCA were 8.2 and 12.6 mo, respectively. In non-BRCA, objective response was noted in 2/22 pts (both had FANCA) and CRR was 17%; durations of objective response were 3.8 and 6.5 mo, respectively. Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events were mostly hematologic—anemia (29%), thrombocytopenia (15%) and neutropenia (7%)—and managed with dose interruption or modification.Table:

Conclusions

Niraparib demonstrates clinical activity in pts with treatment-refractory mCRPC with durable responses particularly in biallelic BRCA mutation carriers.
