    Abstract: 4577 Background: Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors (e.g., erdafitinib) are increasingly important in the management of FGFR-mutated urothelial carcinoma. FDA-approved archival tissue testing for specific FGFR alterations was implemented as a companion diagnostic for erdafitinib. However, longitudinal sequencing studies indicate variable tumor FGFR status over time, and erdafitinib resistance mechanisms in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) are underreported. This ongoing study aims to evaluate the accuracy of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) compared to archival tissue testing in mUC for FGFR alterations detection, and to evaluate genomic mechanisms of erdafitinib resistance in cfDNA at progression. Methods: Patients with progressing mUC who were undergoing archival tissue testing for FGFR1-3 mutations and/or fusions and who had blood samples drawn during the management of their metastatic disease were eligible. Plasma cfDNA and matched leukocyte DNA were subjected to deep targeted sequencing with a custom panel including UC-specific gene loci and all clinically approved hotspots in FGFR1+2 and all exons and introns of FGFR3. Results: As of January 2023, 109 patients from 6 sites were enrolled. Median age at diagnosis was 71, 33% had upper urinary tract primaries, and 76% were male. Tissue and cfDNA results for comparison were available for 69 patients to date. Actionable somatic FGFR alterations were found in the tissue of 15 patients (31%); the most common alteration was the FGFR3 p.S249C mutation (67%). 50 of the analyzed cfDNA samples had detectable somatic circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) variant allele fraction of 0.5% (72%). Of those, 49 had an evaluable tissue test result. Analysis of this subset revealed high concordance (92%) between the two test methods. With the assumption that archival tissue testing is considered the ‘gold standard’, sensitivity is 93% and specificity is 91%. The four discordant results comprised one cfDNA test with undetectable FGFR3-TACC3 fusion, which was detected in tissue and three positive ctDNA test results in patients with FGFR wild-type tissue tests. In one case at erdafitinib progression, ctDNA revealed multiple subclonal populations with distinct FGFR3 gatekeeper mutations suggesting polyclonal resistance. Conclusions: This ongoing study suggests cfDNA is a valuable minimally invasive adjunct to tissue-based assays for the detection of FGFR alterations to identify patients for FGFR inhibitor therapy and to monitor for mechanisms of resistance.

    Abstract: 673 Background: Across the world, treatment of patients with mRCC is heterogeneous with different access to treatment sequences and number of lines of therapy (LOTs) employed. For instance, patients receiving first line (1L) nivolumab+ipilimumab (NIVO+IPI) may be offered second-line (2L) and third line (3L) vascular endothelial growth factor receptor targeted kinase inhibitor (VEGFR-TKI), whereas patients receiving 1L pembrolizumab or avelumab in combination with axitinib (IO+AXI) may only receive one subsequent VEGFR-TKI in 2L. We aimed to examine whether these different treatment strategies impact overall survival (OS). Methods: Adult mRCC patients who received at least three LOTs starting with 1L NIVO+IPI or at least two LOTs starting with 1L IO+AXI from the International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) centers were included. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to estimate median OS (time from 1L to death). Results were stratified by 1L IMDC prognostic risk. Results: Among 128 patients who received at least three LOTs starting with 1L NIVO+IPI (median age 61 years, 77% White, 77% male, 37% from the US), 14% had favorable, 61% had intermediate, and 26% had poor IMDC risk. The most common 2L treatments following 1L NIVO+IPI were sunitinib (38%), cabozantinib (27%), and pazopanib (20%). Among 104 patients who received at least two LOTs starting with 1L IO+AXI (median age 62 years, 75% White, 67% male, 38% from the US), 28% had favorable, 48% had intermediate, and 25% had poor IMDC risk. The most common 2L treatments following 1L IO+AXI were cabozantinib (57%) and sunitinib (10%). Median OS are presented in the table, which suggested no difference in survival for patients who received at least two LOTs starting with 1L IO+AXI compared to patients who received at least three LOTs starting with 1L NIVO+IPI. Conclusions: Treatment for patients with mRCC varies depending on the 1L regimen chosen and by country. Our results demonstrate that, even with potential guaranteed time bias and IMDC imbalances, there is no statistically significant difference in OS for patients who received at least three LOTs starting with 1L NIVO+IPI and patients who received at least two LOTs starting with 1L IO+AXI, suggesting that selecting effective treatments in 1L resulting in fewer LOTs may have similar clinical outcomes as multiple LOTs.

    Abstract: 406 Background: HDC-ASCT is a standard therapy for patients (pts) with mGCTs whose disease progresses on or after conventional dose chemotherapy. We conducted a retrospective review of HDC-ASCT in pts with relapsed mCGT in Alberta over the past two decades. Methods: Pts with mGCTs who received HDC-ASCT at two provincial referral cancer centers in Alberta, Canada from 2001-2018 were identified. Baseline clinical and treatment characteristics were collected as well as overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Relevant prognostic variables were analyzed. Results: Forty three pts were identified. Median age was 28 years (range 19 – 56). Majority (95%) had non-seminoma histology and testis/retroperitoneal primary (84%). Twenty pts (47%) had poor risk disease as per IGCCC at start of first-line chemotherapy. HDC-ASCT was used as second-line therapy in 65% and 58% received tandem HDC-ASCT. Median follow-up from ASCT was 22 months (range 2 – 181). At last follow-up, 42% of pts are alive without disease, including 3/7 (43%) of pts with primary mediastinal disease. Two-year and 5-year DFS/OS were 44%/51% and 41%/43%, respectively. Median OS and DFS for all pts were 27.9 months (10.2 – NR) and 9.3 months (4.2 – 124), respectively. Conclusions: We found that HDC-ASCT is an effective salvage therapy in mGCT, consistent with existing literature. Pts appeared to benefit regardless of primary site. Though limited by small sample size, we found a numerical difference in DFS and OS between 2nd and 3rd line HDC-ASCT and single vs. tandem ASCT.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 516 Background: Radical cystectomy for bladder cancer is a complex surgical oncology procedure. Centralization of this procedure to high volume, fellowship-trained surgeons may improve clinical outcomes. Our objective was to compare outcomes of radical cystectomy before and after centralization of care. Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from the University of Alberta Radical Cystectomy Database was performed. Eligible subjects were those with histologically proven urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (cTanyN1-3M0) undergoing curative intent surgery. Patients were classified into pre-centralization era (1994-2007; N = 523) and post-centralization era (2013-present; N = 134) cohorts for analyses. Pre-centralization era patients were treated by 1 of 11 urologic surgeons at 2 academic teaching hospitals. Post-centralization era patients were treated by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained urologic oncologists at 1 academic teaching hospital. Outcomes were overall survival, 90-day mortality rate, positive surgical margin (R1) resection rate, total number of lymph nodes evaluated, and 90-day blood product transfusion rate. The Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable regression analyses were used to analyze survival outcomes. Statistical tests were two-sided (p≤0.05). Results: The median follow-up duration in the pre- and post-centralization era was 33 months and 16 months, respectively. The predicted 2-year overall survival rate was 62% in the pre-centralization era and 84% in the post-centralization era (Log rank P = 0.0007; multivariable HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.68, P 〈 0.0001). Treatment in the post-centralization era was associated with lower 90-day mortality (6.3% versus 1.5%, multivariable OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.99, P = 0.049), R1 resection (13.0% versus 1.5%; multivariable OR 0.07, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.51, P = 0.009), and 90-day blood product transfusion (59% versus 6%, P 〈 0.0001) as well as higher total number of lymph nodes evaluated (7 versus 30 lymph nodes, P 〈 0.0001). Conclusions: Surgical treatment in the post-centralization era was associated with superior survival, cancer control, and perioperative outcomes.

    Abstract: 36 Background: Multidisciplinary management improves complex treatment decision making in cancer care but its impact for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (M1 CRPC) has not been documented. The Edmonton Prostate Interdisciplinary Cancer Clinic (EPICC) is a multidisciplinary specialized clinic focused on the delivery of novel therapeutics (Androgen Receptor Axis Therapy; ARAT) to men with chemotherapy-naïve M1 CRPC. The objective of the current study was to assess the efficacy of ARAT in the EPICC. Methods: The study was a retrospective quality assurance analysis. Eligible patients had a new diagnosis of chemotherapy-naïve M1 CRPC with minimal symptoms. EPICC patients were assessed and treated by a multidisciplinary cancer control team that included nursing oncology, pharmacy oncology and physician oncology (urologic, medical and radiation). Patients were treated in first line with an ARAT (abiraterone (AA) or enzalutamide (EZ)) from October 2017 to March 2018. The main efficacy outcome was overall survival (OS). The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were used to analyze survival data. Statistical tests were two-sided (p≤0.05). Results: From October 2017 to March 2018, 160 chemotherapy-naïve M1 CRPC patients were assessed in the EPICC. Median age at EPICC admission was 77 years (range, 54-92 years). Median PSA level at EPICC admission was 26.6 ng/mL (range, 0.1-5000 ng/mL). 84 out of 160 (53%) patients had received prior radical local therapy (RLT) with curative intent. 83 (57%) patients were treated with EZ and 64 (43%) patients were treated AA. Median OS for the entire cohort was 23 months. In multivariable analysis, absence of prior RLT (HR 3.6, 95% CI 1.9 to 6.6, p 〈 0.001), PSA 〉 20 ng/mL (HR 3.2, 95% CI 1.4 to 7.2, p = 0.004), and higher ECOG performance status (1 vs 0: HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.4, p = 0.005; 2 versus 0: HR 3.5, 95% CI 1.5 to 8.0, p = 0.003; and 3 versus 0: HR 12.7, 95% CI 2.5 to 63.8, p = 0.002) were independently associated with poorer OS. Conclusions: Multidisciplinary management of chemotherapy-naïve M1 CRPC with ARAT is feasible. Real world efficacy of ARAT in EPICC are similar to data reported in phase 3 trials.

    Abstract: 4580 Background: Immuno-oncology (IO) checkpoint inhibitor treatment outcomes are poorly characterized in the real world metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) patient population, including geriatric patients. Methods: Using the IMDC database, a retrospective analysis was performed on mRCC patients treated with IO, as listed below. Patients received one or more lines of IO therapy, with or without a targeted agent. Duration of treatment (DOT) and overall response rates (ORR) were calculated. Cox regression analysis was performed to examine the association between age as a continuous variable and DOT. Results: 312 mRCC patients treated with IO were included. In patients who were evaluable, ORR to IO therapy was 29% (32% first-, 22% second-, 33% third-, and 32% fourth-line treatment (Tx)). Patients treated with second-line IO therapy were divided into favorable, intermediate, and poor risk using IMDC criteria; the corresponding median DOT rates were not reached (NR), 8.6 mo, and 1.9 mo, respectively (p 〈 0.0001). Based upon age, hazard ratios were calculated in the first- through fourth-line therapy setting, ranging from 1.03 to 0.97. Conclusions: The ORR to IO appears to remain consistent, regardless of line of therapy. In the second-line, IMDC criteria appear to appropriately stratify patients into favorable, intermediate, and poor risk groups for DOT. Premature OS data will be updated. In contrast to clinical trial data, longer DOT is observed in real world practice. Age may not be a factor influencing DOT. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 53 Background: To describe patterns of practice of PSA testing and imaging for Ontario men receiving continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). Methods: This was a retrospective, longitudinal, population-based study of administrative health data from 2008 to 2019. Men 〉 65 years old receiving continuous ADT with documented CRPC were included. An administrative proxy definition was applied to capture patients with nmCRPC patients and excluded those with metastatic disease. Patients were indexed upon progression to CRPC and were followed until death or end of study period to assess frequency of monitoring with PSA tests and conventional imaging. A 2-year look-back window was used to assess patterns of care leading up to CRPC, as well as baseline covariates. Results: At a median follow-up of 40 months, 944 patients with CRPC were identified. Their median time from initiation of ADT to CRPC was 26 months, 61% of patients had their PSA measured twice or fewer in the year prior to index and 71% patients did not receive any imaging in the year following progression to CRPC. Almost all patients (98%, n = 921/944) in the study progressed to high-risk CRPC (HR-CRPC) during the study period, of which more than half received fewer than 3 PSA tests in the year prior to progression to HR-CRPC, and 31% received no imaging in the subsequent year. Conclusions: PSA testing and imaging studies are under-utilized in a real-world setting for the management of nmCRPC, including those at high-risk of developing metastatic disease. Infrequent monitoring impedes proper risk stratification, disease staging, detection of treatment failure and/or metastases, likely delaying necessary treatment intensification with life-prolonging therapies. Adherence to guideline recommendations and the importance of timely staging should be reinforced to optimize patients’ outcome.

    Abstract: 76 Background: In recent years, treatment intensification beyond androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with several novel therapies have shown survival benefit in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Given the rapidly evolving landscape in mCSPC treatment, there is a need to better understand how treatment strategies fit in real-world clinical practice and are combined/sequenced with other available therapies. Methods: Using electronic medical records and administrative data, a population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients aged ≥18 years of age who were newly diagnosed with de novo mCSPC and initiated ADT post-diagnosis between 2010 to 2020 in Alberta, Canada, were included. Treatment intensification was defined as the receipt of apalutamide, abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, or chemotherapy (e.g. docetaxel) within 180 days of ADT initiation. Results: A total of 2,515 de novo mCSPC were identified during study period with 2,098 (83%) patients initiating ADT post-diagnosis. Of those, 525 (25%) received intensification beyond ADT. The percentage of patients who were intensified was 3% in 2010-2013 and gradually increased to 67% in 2020. Between 2014-2017, docetaxel was the most common therapy for intensification, but its use decreased considerably in 2018-2020 with abiraterone acetate, apalutamide and enzalutamide becoming increasingly available in the mCSPC setting. Upon progression, 46% and 22% in the intensified group versus 38% and 13% in the ADT-alone group initiated one and two-lines of subsequent therapies respectively. Abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide were the most common subsequent therapy for both the intensified (32% and 31% respectively) and the ADT-alone (56% and 38% respectively) groups. Docetaxel (24%) was used as subsequent therapy among mCSPC patients who were intensified with oral systemic agents. In multivariable logistic regression analyses of patients diagnosed in 2014-2020, significant predictors of intensification were younger age at diagnosis, lower Charlson comorbidity index, greater number of metastatic sites, shorter time to ADT initiation, referral to a specialists/cancer centres, surgery or radiation prior to ADT, and more recent year of diagnosis (all p 〈 0.05). Conclusions: In Alberta, Canada, there has been a considerable increase in the utilization of ADT intensification therapies that correspond with the timing of clinical trial data and approvals of novel agents. Early referral to specialists/cancer centres is warranted to intensify mCSPC treatment beyond ADT and to improve patients’ outcomes. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 667 Background: Recent research suggested that patients (pts) with small renal masses (4cm or less) were at low risk of disease recurrence after surgery. The impact of tumor size on survival in mRCC patients treated with targeted therapy (TKI) is unclear. Methods: Two cohorts were identified from the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC). Cohort 1 pts had initial nephrectomy for M0 RCC and subsequently developed metastasis during follow-up. Cohort 2 pts presented with de novo metastasis with or without cytoreductive nephrectomy. Cox regression was performed to assess the associations of primary tumor size (≤4 vs 〉 4cm) and overall survival (OS) on first line TKI, adjusted for histology, sarcomatoid features, tumor stage, number of metastasis, IMDC risk groups and age at TKI initiation. Results: 4089 pts with mRCC treated with first line TKI had primary tumor size data available. Patient characteristics were generally balanced between tumor size groups (≤4 vs 〉 4cm), except pts with ≤4cm tumors were more likely to have single metastasis (29% vs 18%, p = 0.001) and less likely to have IMDC poor risk (32% vs 39%, p = 0.04) in pts from cohort 2. For pts from cohort 1, tumor size at initial nephrectomy did not impact OS after TKI initiation (p = 0.689). However, in pts presenting with de novo metastasis (cohort 2), small primary tumors were associated with improved OS after TKI initiation, but only in T1-2 tumors (Table). Conclusions: Tumor size impacts survival outcome with targeted therapy in mRCC patients presenting with de novo metastasis and T1-2 disease. This may need to be taken in consideration in clinical trial designs. [Table: see text]
