Abstract 2226
Background
We report secondary and exploratory analysis with 18F-NaF PET/CT and CTCs to determine how tumour burden and RNA expression of androgen receptor (AR) splice variants and neuroendocrine (NE) features predict duration of treatment (DoTx) with ENZA.
Methods
Men with progressive mCRPC with ≥ 2 lesions on bone scintigraphy were enrolled and treated with ENZA 160 mg daily at 3 US sites. 18F-NaF PET/CT scans were obtained at baseline (BL) (PET1), week 13 (PET2), and at the time of PSA progression (per PCWG2 criteria), standard radiographic or clinical progression, or at 2 years without progression (PET3) using QTBI. CTCs were obtained at BL and at PET3. PSA decline and DoTx were compared with BL QTBI, CTC metrics, and change in QTBI.
Results
23 men (median age, 72 years [range, 51-93]; median PSA, 20.5 ng/mL [range, 3.9-133.6]) were enrolled; 22 of which completed planned imaging. The mean number of bone lesions on PET1 was 58 (range 9-168), with a median total standardized uptake value (SUVtotal) of 3886.5 (range 506.7-22852.8). DoTx ranged from 1.4 to 31.8+ mo. In general, SUV metrics decreased while on ENZA (PET2) and increased by PET3. Change in lesion heterogeneity (PET1 to PET3) was the most significant predictor of time to PSA progression (hazard ratio, 3.88; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-12.1). ARV7/9 was found in CTCs in 3/20 men and NE features were found in 4/20 men at BL and in 4/19 and in 11/19 men, respectively, at PET3.
Conclusions
Although PSA response with ENZA is high, DoTx is variable. SUVtotal at BL did not correlate with DoTx; however, decrease in SUVtotal/mean was associated with increased DoTx, with less heterogeneity correlating with a longer time to PSA progression. ARV7/9 or NE expression in CTCs did not predict lack of benefit from ENZA; however, at the time of progression, the observed increase in ARV7/9 and NE expression are consistent with tumor evolution to more aggressive phenotypes. While BL heterogeneity may be prognostic, it may not predict response or DoTx. Assessing response heterogeneity may predict response duration, thus, should be explored as a possible surrogate of benefit in future studies.
