Background: Anaplastic prostate cancer displays features of small-cell carcinoma, a type of neuroendocrine tumor. Treatments for anaplastic prostate cancer are based on small cell lung cancer regimens. Both AnaF and mutations in DDR pathways, including BRCA2 confer an aggressive phenotype. For patients (pts) with certain DDR mutations, olaparib (O) was recently FDA approved, and an ongoing study is evaluating whether the addition of durvalumab (D) confers additional benefit in mCRPC (NCT02484404). We evaluate a potential preliminary relationship between DDR mutations, treatment with D and O, and AnaF. Methods: This is a phase II study of O plus D in pts with mCRPC with disease that is amenable to biopsy. On-study core biopsies undergo mutational analysis. Prior treatment with enzalutamide (enza) and/or abiraterone (abi) is required. D is given at 1500 mg iv q28 days + O 300 mg tablets po q12 hours. The primary endpoint is PFS. Pts were categorized into those with and without AnaF as defined by Aparicio et al. (2013). AnaF include small-cell histology; exclusively visceral metastases; predominantly lytic bone metastases; bulky lymphadenopathy (≥5 cm) or high-grade (Gleason ≥8) mass in prostate/pelvis; low PSA (≤10 ng/mL) at initial presentation with high volume (≥20) bone metastases; neuroendocrine markers in histology or serum plus elevated LDH, malignant hypercalcemia, or elevated serum CEA; or short interval (≤6 months) to androgen-independent progression. Results: Of 55 pts accrued, 24 had prior abi and enza; 19 pts had prior taxane. Common adverse events include anemia, fatigue, and nausea. Also, 11 pts (20.0%) displayed clear AnaF (Table) and 43 pts lacked AnaF, including 8 (14.5%) with partial AnaF that did not meet the full criteria, 4 (7.3%) who likely did not have AnaF due to difficulty in quantifying disease burden, 29 (52.7%) who did not have AnaF, and 2 (3.6%) had unknown status. Four pts (36.4%) with clear AnaF had DDR aberrations, including 3 (27.3%) with BRCA2, 1 (9.1%) with both BRCA2 and CHEK2, and 1 (9.1%) with ATM. Conclusions: Pts with mCRPC with DDR mutations can also have AnaF. This preliminary data demonstrates that pts with anaplastic prostate cancer and pts with DDR mutations are two distinct populations with some degree of overlap. O+D is well-tolerated, and future studies should focus on finding optimal treatments for pts with AnaF without and without DDR mutations. Clinical trial information: NCT02484404
