Abstract 1605P
Background
Opevesostat is an oral, selective inhibitor of CYP11A1 that suppresses production of all steroid hormones and precursors. Initial phase 2 results in mCRPC patients with AR-LBD mutations were previously presented (ESMO 2022). Here we report phase 2 results for both AR-LBD mutation-positive and negative patients.
Methods
Opevesostat 5mg BID (with dexamethasone and fludrocortisone) was evaluated in open-label expansion in patients with progressive mCRPC following ≥1 line of 2nd generation AR-pathway inhibitor and ≥1 line of taxane-based chemotherapy. An initial cohort enrolled 45 patients with AR-LBD mutations in cell-free DNA (Guardant360), a subsequent extension included 89 mCRPC patients (21 and 68 pts with/without AR-LBD mutations respectively). Study objectives were safety and preliminary efficacy assessed by PSA and RECIST response and standard safety measures. Opevesostat was continued until disease progression or toxicity.
Results
Overall, 66 AR-LBD mutation-positive and 68 AR-LBD mutation-negative patients (median age 68.5 years) were enrolled. 53.0% and 36.8% had previously received both abiraterone and enzalutamide, and 69.7% and 64.7% had received cabazitaxel in patients with and without AR-LBD mutation respectively. Opevesostat treatment led to PSA50 responses in 53.0% and 14.7% of patients, and PSA30 responses in 68.2% and 29.4% of patients, with and without AR-LBD mutations respectively. At data cut-off (23 Jan 2024), objective responses by RECIST had occurred in 10 patients, 8 with AR-LBD mutations (ORR 18.6% for AR-LBD positive). Opevesostat was well-tolerated: hospitalisation for adrenal insufficiency-like syndrome was much lower than in phase 1 when typically higher opevesostat doses were administered (6.7% vs. 31.9% respectively). Duration of response and safety with a minimum follow up of approximately 6.5 months will be presented.
Conclusions
Administration of Opevesostat to heavily pre-treated mCRPC patients shows promising antitumor activity. PSA50 responses were most frequent among patients harbouring activating AR-LBD mutations.
