Background: APA and AA target the androgenreceptor (AR) axis via different mechanisms and may have complementary activity in mCRPC. APA is an advanced AR antagonist that targets the AR ligand-binding domain with high affinity (Clegg. Cancer Res. 2012). APA prevents AR nuclear translocation, DNA binding, and transcription of AR gene targets. This phase 1b study evaluates potential PK interactions between APA and AA + P. Here we report antitumor activity and safety of APA in combination with AA + P from 57 pts versus 29 pts presented at ASCO 2015 (NCT02123758). Methods: Pts with progressive mCRPC and ECOG PS ≤ 2 received AA (1000 mg/d) + P (5 mg BID) on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) with addition of APA (240 mg/d) on C1D8 in 28-day treatment (tmt) cycles. Efficacy assessment was based on RECIST 1.1 and PCWG2 criteria. Results: 57 pts started tmt on study; median tmt duration was 17 weeks. Median age was 70 years (range, 49-89) and median baseline PSA was 111 µg/L (range, 4-2597). Bone, nodal, and visceral disease were present in 50 (88%), 31 (54%), and 17 (30%) pts, respectively. 29 (51%), 29 (51%), and 23 (40%) pts were previously treated with a taxane, AA, or enzalutamide (ENZ), respectively. 47 pts discontinued tmt: disease progression (n = 39), consent withdrawal (n = 3), physician decision (n = 1), death (n = 1), and other (n = 3). In AA- and ENZ-naïve pts (n = 18), 67% had PSA decline ≥ 50%. In AA- or ENZ-treated pts (n = 39), 15% had PSA decline ≥ 50%. Most commonly reported ( > 10% of pts) drug-related AEs: fatigue (42%), diarrhea (21%), vomiting (21%), nausea (19%), hypokalemia (19%), decreased appetite (16%), hot flush (12%), abdominal pain (12%), and dysgeusia (11%). Grade ≥ 3 drug-related AEs reported in > 1 pt: fatigue (7%), hypokalemia (3.5%), hyponatremia (3.5%), and hypertension (3.5%). 1 pt discontinued study drug for grade 3 fatigue. Conclusions: Interim data indicate that 240 mg/d of APA with 1000 mg/d of AA + P has antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in mCRPC. Clinical trial information: NCT02123758
