    Abstract: Aim: To assess stress, and strain dissemination characteristics in root canal treated maxillary central incisors restored with two distinct dowel and core materials. Methodology: Five three-dimensional simulations of the central incisor in the maxilla were created with ANSYS (Canonsburg, PA) version 10. MODEL 1 represented a normal morphologic simulation of the incisor. MODEL 2 depicted the incisor with a pre-fabricated fiber-reinforced dowel with a glass ionomer core. The incisor of MODEL 3 consisted of the same pre-fabricated fiber post and composite core. MODEL 4 and MODEL 5 had pre-fabricated light-transmitting posts with a glass ionomer and a composite core, respectively. Each of these simulations was loaded in horizontal, vertical, and oblique directions with a load of 10N, 100N, and 50N, respectively. The resulting Von Mises stress and strain were determined. Results: Maximum stresses and strains were focused at the apex of the glass fiber reinforced post and were minimal in the middle section of the post, whereas maximum stresses and strains were mainly concentrated in the coronal region and were minimal in the middle portion of light-transmitting post. Conclusion: Pre-fabricated optical-transmitting dowel and composite core enhanced dentin stress and strain dispersion throughout various loading parameters.

    Abstract: Objective- The purpose of this research was to determine the efficacy of verbal, written, and video communication in promoting oral hygiene, dietary changes, and care of the appliance among fixed orthodontic patients in the orthodontics department at Rama Dental College. Material and Methods- The department conducted an eye-tracking investigation with blind participants. The sample included 90 patients; 30 were assigned to each group. Randomly the patients were allotted into verbal, written, and video groups. After three months of the given instructions, bleeding on probing, dental knowledge, cleanliness of the appliance, and mouth ulcers were evaluated to investigate the result. There was a comparison made between the three groups using a one-way analysis of variance. Result- Mean score based on oral hygiene instructions, the video method was significantly increased, while based on dietary changes, the verbal method was significantly increased, and based on the care of the appliance instructions, the verbal method was significantly increased. Conclusion- Within the constraints of the present research, it is argued that the video method is more successful in giving optimum oral hygiene instructions to patients, while verbal training is more effective in providing both diet modification and care of the appliance.

    Abstract: TPS382 Background: Many patients with intermediate or high-risk localized prostate cancer relapse after prostatectomy, identifying an unmet need. Cancer vaccines increase the infiltrating lymphocyte concentration in localized and metastatic prostate cancer (PMID 25255802, 29858218). We hypothesize that treatment with a combination of two vaccines plus PD-L1 inhibition will be safe and significantly stimulate immune infiltration within the tumor microenvironment. MVA is a modified vaccinia virus that is replication-deficient, inducing the generation of tumor antigen-specific killer T-cells. PROSTVAC is a poxviral based cancer vaccine using a vaccinia virus prime and fowlpox based boost along with co-stimulatory molecules B7.1, leukocyte function-associated antigen-3, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Methods: This study is a single-arm,, phase I/II investigator initiated trial (NCT04020094). Primary objectives: 1) Safety, 2) Quantitative change in infiltrating CD8+ lymphocytes between the biopsy and prostatectomy as measured by immunofluorescence. Secondary endpoints: 1) 6- and 12-month undetectable PSA rate; 2) PSA-PFS compared to institutional historic control. Inclusion criteria: unfavorable intermediate to very high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma (per NCCN). Exclusion criteria: non-adenocarcinoma histology and metastatic disease (including regional nodal metastasis). A total of 22 patients will be enrolled starting with a 6 patient safety lead in. Prostate MRI will be obtained prior to treatment. Treatment schema: 2 neoadjuvant cycles (Atezo + MVA + PROSTVAC), followed by prostatectomy then 6 additional adjuvant cycles (Atezo + PROSTVAC). Neoadjuvant cycle 1: atezolizumab (1200mg IV Q3wks), PROSTVAC-V (Prime, 2x10 8 Inf.U subcutaneous), MVA (2 x 10 8 Inf.U/0.5 ml, intra-tumoral injection, volume determined by MRI). Neoadjuvant cycle 2: atezolizumab, PROSTVAC-F (Boost, 1x10 9 Inf.U, subcutaneous), MVA. Adjuvant: atezolizumab and PROSTVAC-F. Clinical trial information: NCT04020094.

    Abstract: 570 Background: AI is increasingly being used in clinical cancer genomics research. Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGMs) are AI algorithms that capture multivariate, mutli-level dependencies in complex patterns in large datasets while retaining human interpretability. We hypothesize that PGMs can identify clinical and genomic features that correlate with IO response in patients (pts) with mUC. Methods: In this retrospective study eligibility criteria were: diagnosis of mUC, receipt of IO for mUC, comprehensive genomic profiling data available from CLIA certified labs. The Bayesian Network (BN, PGM based AI) was used to discover clinical characteristics and selected genomic alterations relevant to IO response by RECIST 1.1 (investigator assessed). Results: Overall, 95 pts (73 men) with mUC were evaluated. 45 (47%) were ever smokers.The presented BN correctly captured the clinical landscape of mUC explaining significant relationship between included variables (p 〈 0.0001). Ever smokers and pts with de novo metastasis had higher TMB and better response to IO. Inactivating MLL2 alterations were more prevalent in non-smokers, and negatively correlated with response to IO. FGFR3 alterations did not predict response to IO. Significant associations are presented in Table. Conclusions: These hypothesis-generating data (by a novel approach, i.e. PGM based AI) showed that smoking and high-TMB were associated with improved response to IO; in contrast, inactivating MLL2 alternations and visceral metastasis predicted inferior response. FGFR3 alterations did not correlate with response. This model validated previous findings and found new hypothesis-generating relationship, such as altered MLL2 gene; external validation is needed.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 334 Background: Immune therapy combinations are now standard first-line therapy for pts with mccRCC. Cabo modulates key components of the immune system such as decreasing regulatory T-cells and increasing T-effector cell populations and is approved for treatment of mRCC. We hypothesize that Ave + Cabo will be safe and show clinical activity in mccRCC. Methods: Prospective phase I clinical trial using a 3+3 design with three planned dose cohorts: Cabo 20mg/day, 40mg/day and 60mg/day + Ave (10mg/kg q2weeks) in each arm. The primary endpoint was safety and identification of the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Key secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and radiographic progression free survival (PFS). No dose modifications were allowed for Ave but dose delays were permitted. Dose reductions were allowed for Cabo. There were an additional 3 patients included in the final dose cohort as a confirmation of the RP2D. RECIST 1.1 was used to determine ORR. Treatment beyond progression was allowed. Results: Twelve patients with newly diagnosed mccRCC were enrolled from 08/2018 through 03/2020. Three patients were enrolled into the 20 and 40mg cohorts each, six patients enrolled in the 60mg cohort. IMDC risk: favorable 4 patients, intermediate 6 patients, poor 2 patients. No dose limiting toxicities were observed in any cohort. Only one SAE related to study treatment was observed, thromboembolism, after the DLT period. Immune related adverse events (irAE) occurred in six patients (50%) and included hypothyroidism, colitis, nephritis, allergic rhinitis and rash. Six patients required dose reductions of cabozantinib after the DLT period: one in the 40mg cohort and five in 60mg cohort, most frequently due to oral mucositis and hand foot syndrome. One patient discontinued Ave due to irAE (nephritis). No patients discontinued Cabo due to toxicity. The ORR was 33% (all PR). The clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD) was ~ 92%. One patient experienced PD on the first scan and then continued on the protocol treatment without further progression at the time of this report (follow up to date ~ 7 months). Seven of 12 pts are still on protocol treatment. Conclusions: Ave + Cabo in mccRCC is safe and preliminarily efficacious. Even though the DLT was not met in any of the cohorts, based on dose reduction required in 5 of 6 pts in the Cabo 60 mg cohort after the DLT period, the recommended RP2D dose for the combination is Cabo 40mg/day and Ave 10mg/kg q2 weeks. Safety and efficacy data will be elaborated in the meeting. * NA & BLM: equal contribution Clinical trial information: NCT03200587 .

    Abstract: 6532 Background: Despite more aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) at presentation and higher mortality in real world, B pts with metastatic hormone resistant PCa did not have inferior outcomes than W pts when both were enrolled in clinical trials (PMID: 33951180). In the phase 3 S1216 trial, treatment with Ort, a novel CYP17 axis inhibitor, significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) but not overall survival (OS) compared to bicalutamide (Bic) in pts with mHSPC receiving ADT. This trial enrolled the greatest number of B pts in a phase 3 trial in this setting to-date. We hypothesized that given comparable access to care as experienced in a clinical trial, outcomes in B pts would be similar to those of W pts in the mHSPC setting. Methods: Eligibility: Pts with mHSPC were enrolled. Only pts self-identifying as B or W were included in this analysis. PFS and OS for each group were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. A multivariate analysis (MVA) adjusting for disease characteristics was conducted using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Among 1279 participants, 135 (10.6%) were B; 1077 (84.2%) were W. B and W were equally distributed between treatment arms, and had respectively similar proportion of pts with Gleason score ≥8 (61.3 vs 62.1%), Zubrod score ≥2 (5.1 vs 3.4%) and extensive disease (48.1 vs 48.7%). However, B pts, as compared to W, were younger (65.8 vs 68.4 yrs, p=0.001) and had a higher median baseline PSA (54.7 vs 26.7 ng/mL; p 〈 0.001). PSA responses (≤ 0.2 ng/mL) at month 7 were similar in both groups (p=0.296). Overall, B vs W had similar median PFS (2.3 vs 2.9 yrs, p=0.71) and OS (5.5 vs 6.3 yrs, p=0.65). MVA confirmed similar PFS and OS after adjusting for known prognostic factors (Table). No interaction between race and treatment was observed (P-value interaction PFS= 0.77 and OS= 0.91). Conclusions: We demonstrate that even though B pts present with more aggressive disease in mHSPC setting, they did not have statistically significant worse OS and PFS than W pts and treatment effect was also similar for both racial groups. Equitable access to care may negate historical differences in outcomes among B vs W pts with advanced PCa.

    Abstract: 156 Background: We hypothesized that treatment with Radium-223 (Ra223) and to ≤5 sites of bony metastases (mets) could safely delay the time to start androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and maintain quality of life (QoL). Methods: 20 men previously treated with surgery, radiation, or both for M0 PCa later developed ≤5 bone-only mets were eligible for this prospective trial. Inclusion: testosterone ≥ 100 ng/dL and mets on conventional bone scan, validated by a CT, MRI, or PET/CT. Exclusion: LHRH therapies after initial treatment, or N1 disease at diagnosis of bone mets. Therapy was 6 cycles of Ra223 and SBRT (30 Gy in 5 fractions between cycles 1-2). Bone scan was performed at baseline and q3 months. PSA was evaluated monthly during the Ra223 course, and q3 months after. Therapeutic effectiveness was defined as ≥20% of patients meeting the primary endpoint of freedom from ADT (FFAdt) use at 15 months. Discontinuation of study therapy occurred if: PSA rise 〉 10% if baseline PSA 〉 20ng/ml, PSA 〉 20 if baseline PSA 〈 20 ng/ml, radiographic progression or a skeletal-related event (SRE). All endpoints were timed from the Cycle 1 radium date. Patients were followed for 2 years. Clinically significant changes in patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures were defined as 〉 1/2 standard deviation from the mean baseline value and were censored after the time of ADT use. Continuous and categorical covariates were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum and Pearson’s Chi2 tests, respectively, and univariate Cox regression. Statistical significance was considered at P 〈 0.05. Results: The median number of Ra223 cycles was 6. 6 patients had 〈 6 cycles (range 2-5) due to progression. FFAdt at 15 and 24 Months was 49.5% and 38.5%, respectively (p 〈 0.001). The median time to ADT was 14.8 months. There were no significant changes from baseline in any PRO QoL domain (physical functioning, anxiety, depression, fatigue, satisfaction with participation in social roles, sleep disturbance, and pain interference). There were 2 patients with Grade 3 SREs (bone fracture, pain). Grade 2+ events attributed as possible or likely to Ra-223 were seen in 4 patients (bone pain, fatigue, fracture, decreased WBC count, and other). Grade 2+ events attributed as possible or likely to EBRT were seen in 2 patients and included fatigue and other pain. were noted for age, baseline PSA, days from primary treatment, NCCN risk group, TNM stage, ISUP grade group, BMI, or # of lesions in those who met or failed the primary endpoint (all p 〉 0.05). Conclusions: First-line use of Ra223 and SBRT to oligomets in hormone-naïve men in this prospective pilot study resulted in a significant delay in ADT use compared to historical control, is well tolerated, and maintains QoL. Clinical trial information: NCT03304418 .

    Abstract: TPS295 Background: Preclinical studies and clinical observations suggest that C promotes an immune permissive environment, which might lead to synergistic effects from combination treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. In Cohort 6 of COSMIC-021 study, the combination of C and A showed encouraging clinical activity and acceptable tolerability in mCRPC pts who had radiographically progressed in soft tissue on or after novel hormonal treatment (NHT; PMID: 35690072). CONTACT-02 is a phase 3 study randomizing pts with mCRPC with measurable disease 1:1 to C+A or NHT (NCT04446117). The objective of this study is to specifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of C+A in pts with mCRPC with NMD. Methods: AtezoCab is an IRB approved, investigator-initiated, single-arm, single-center, open-label, non-randomized phase 2 study of C+A in mCRPC patients with NMD to assess disease control rate (DCR). Treatment: C 40 mg oral daily + A 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks. Treatment continues until progression or intolerable toxicities. Key inclusion criteria: ≥18 years age, mCRPC with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma without small cell histology, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2, adequate organ function, prior treatment with NHT, only NMD outside the pelvis (above aortic bifurcation) per RECIST 1.1 criteria. Key exclusion criteria: prior chemotherapy for mCRPC, prior treatment with C, immune checkpoint inhibitors or other systemic immunostimulatory agents, active or history of clinically significant autoimmune disease per treating physician, corticosteroids ( 〉 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days before first dose of study treatment. Primary endpoint: Percentage of pts with disease control. DCR will be defined as the percentage of pts with confirmed response of any duration or stable disease or noncomplete response or nonprogressive disease for 24 weeks or longer per PCWG3-modified RECIST v1.1. Up to 33 pts will be enrolled for a total of 30 evaluable pts. This will ensure that DCR can be estimated via a 95% confidence interval (CI) with margin of error 〈 0.18. The primary analysis CI on DCR will be based on Wilson’s approach. Secondary Endpoints: Progression-free survival (PSA and radiographic), PSA50% response rate, overall survival and safety. Tissue and blood samples will be collected for correlative studies. 7 patients have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT05168618 .

    Abstract: 105 Background: In clinical trials, treatment efficacy rates are based on participants who can tolerate treatment through study endpoints. Attrition from clinical trials can potentially lead to biased results (PMID: 30379822). Many oncology clinical trials censor the subject data of participants because of early trial intervention discontinuation due to adverse events (AEs), withdrawal of consent, or loss to follow-up. Despite high attrition rates reported across various oncology clinical trials (10-38%), there is inconsistency regarding investigating the reasons for withdrawal (PMID: 23132290). We aim to identify the causes of the withdrawal of participants with advanced PCa from clinical trials. Methods: In this IRB-approved single-center retrospective study (Sept 2014 to Sept 2022), the OnCore Research Database was used to capture data on the participants with advanced PCa enrolled in clinical trials. The included trials were specific to prostate cancer, and mixed solid tumor trials were excluded. Endpoint reports from all included trials were assessed. Participants who discontinued treatment for any reason were included. The primary objective was to obtain reasons for clinical trial withdrawal before primary endpoints, identify potential clinical intervention areas, and determine potential areas of adjustment to future study designs to improve retention rates. Eligibility criteria: diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer, receipt of protocol treatment until discontinuation, and documentation of a reason for discontinuation of the protocol treatment. Results: 272 pts from the 18 clinical trials met eligibility criteria and were included in the study. The most common reasons documented for discontinuation were: the progression of disease (46.69%), other reasons (15.44%), adverse events (5.15%), personal preference (15.81%), and completion of protocol treatment (11.76%) of the total number of enrolled participants. We noted a statistically significant difference between participants who withdrew for other reasons in the castration-resistant versus castration-sensitive setting (6.08% vs. 32.38%, p value=0.03). Notably, declining performance status and symptom progression were listed under the “other reasons” category. The documentation of patient withdrawal due to clinical symptoms was reported across multiple withdrawal categories. Conclusions: In approximately one-third of participants, the reason for protocol treatment discontinuation was not apparent (documented as patient preference and other reasons with no further specifications). Further exploration of the exact reasons contributing to therapy discontinuation in these patients will be critical to improving patient retention in clinical trials.

    Abstract: 235 Background: GS is the most powerful prognostic predictor in prostate adenocarcinoma. However, the underlying reasons of disease aggressiveness as a function of GS are currently unknown. Herein we sought to investigate the corresponding differences in gene expression profiles of pts with prostate adenocarcinoma with respect to GS. Methods: In this IRB approved retrospective study, eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma and available RNA sequencing results from treatment naïve primary prostate tissue by a CLIA certified lab. Pts were categorized into two cohorts: low GS (GS 〈 8) and high GS (GS ≥ 8). The DEseq2 pipeline was used to analyze differentially expressed genes between the groups. The data included the Log2 fold change, Wald-Test p-values, and Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p-values for each differentially expressed gene. These results were subjected to Gene Set Enrichment software analysis (GSEA) in order to identify pathways enriched in each cohort. All bioinformatic analyses were undertaken using R v4.2. Results: Fifty-seven pts were eligible, of which 13 had a GS 〈 8 and 44 had a GS ≥8. Tumor tissues with high GS had a significantly higher expression of genes involved in the immune pathways (e.g., inflammatory response, interferon-γ, allograft rejection, and interferon-α), epithelial-mesenchymal transition, KRAS signaling, E2F targets and G2M checkpoint (q for all 〈 0.01). The genes involved in the androgen response pathway were significantly more expressed in biopsies with a low GS (q 〈 0.01). Normalized enrichment scores are reported in the table. Differential individual gene expression profiles will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: Pts with prostatic adenocarcinoma with a GS ≥8 demonstrated a different transcriptomic profile than those with a GS 〈 8. Higher GS tumor tissues had upregulated of inflammatory, proliferation, and KRAS signaling. Lower GS tumor tissues had upregulated androgen signaling pathway. These hypothesis-generating results upon external validation may provide the rationale for personalized therapy in men with prostatic cancer. [Table: see text]
