PURPOSE Preclinical studies demonstrated that ATR inhibition can exploit synthetic lethality (eg, in cancer cells with impaired compensatory DNA damage responses through ATM loss) as monotherapy and combined with DNA-damaging drugs such as carboplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS This phase I trial assessed the ATR inhibitor M6620 (VX-970) as monotherapy (once or twice weekly) and combined with carboplatin (carboplatin on day 1 and M6620 on days 2 and 9 in 21-day cycles). Primary objectives were safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose; secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity; exploratory objectives included pharmacodynamics in timed paired tumor biopsies. RESULTS Forty patients were enrolled; 17 received M6620 monotherapy, which was safe and well tolerated. The recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for once- or twice-weekly administration was 240 mg/m2. A patient with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring molecular aberrations, including ATM loss and an ARID1A mutation, achieved RECISTv1.1 complete response and maintained this response, with a progression-free survival of 29 months at last assessment. Twenty-three patients received M6620 with carboplatin, with mechanism-based hematologic toxicities at higher doses, requiring dose delays and reductions. The RP2D for combination therapy was M6620 90 mg/m2 with carboplatin AUC5. A patient with advanced germline BRCA1 ovarian cancer achieved RECISTv1.1 partial response and Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup CA125 response despite being platinum refractory and PARP inhibitor resistant. An additional 15 patients had RECISTv1.1 stable disease as best response. Pharmacokinetics were dose proportional and exceeded preclinical efficacious levels. Pharmacodynamic studies demonstrated substantial inhibition of phosphorylation of CHK1, the downstream ATR substrate. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this report is the first of an ATR inhibitor as monotherapy and combined with carboplatin. M6620 was well tolerated, with target engagement and preliminary antitumor responses observed.

3560 Background: Currently, there are no well-established biomarkers available to select mCRC patients (pts) who will benefit most from antiangiogenic therapy. RAS mutant (mt) allele fraction in plasma (plMAF) is an independent prognostic factor in mCRC. Preliminary data from our group suggests the possible predictive role of plMAF in RAS mt pts treated with 1st line chemotherapy (ct) +/- bevacizumab (bev). Methods: Data prospectively/retrospectively collected from RASmt mCRC pts who received 1st line ct+/-bev treatment in our center, selecting the subset of pts with plMAF sample evaluable with digital PCR (BEAMing) at baseline. Pts were stratified as high (≥ 5.8%) or low ( < 5.8%) plMAF, based on a previously established prognostic cutoff (Elez et al, Mol Onc 2019). We investigated the associations between clinic-pathological variables, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) stratified by plMAF RAS levels using Cox regression models. OS and PFS were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Murine PDX were developed from mCRC pts including models from patients with KRASG12/G13 mutations to explore recapitulation of the clinical findings. Results: From October ‘17 to December ‘21, 102 basal plasma samples were analyzed by BEAMing. 47 pts (46%) were classified as high, 39 pts (38%) as low, and 16 (16%) as no-mt detected by BEAMing (non-shedding). OS was significant longer in low plMAF pts than in high plMAF pts (median OS 15.9 vs 37.1 months (mo); HR 0.43; p = 0.001). In high plMAF pts, a trend towards a better PFS was observed in those pts treated with ct+bev compared to ct alone (median 9.4 vs 6.1 mo; HR 0.6; p = 0.18). No differences were observed in low plMAF pts treated with ct +/- bev (median 14.5 vs 14.9 mo; HR 1.2; p = 0.58). Results were not modified when adjusted by the presence of liver metastases. The multivariate PFS model showed no association between RAS plMAF and clinicopathological variables, except for treatment benefit with ct+bev and better outcomes in pts with resectable liver metastases. Interestingly, human ctDNA in one murine PDX model from non-shedding pt was not detectable, whereas human ctDNA was present in another PDX model with a plMAF of 36.2%. Conclusions: This study suggests that plMAF could be a promising predictive biomarker of response to bev in 1st line RASmt mCRC, but more pts need to be analyzed to confirm this effect. Our results confirm the prognostic role of RASmt plMAF in mCRC. plMAF could partially depend on tumor cell shedding degree and characteristics on the tumor vasculature architecture, this is being investigated in ongoing imaging studies and PDX models. These models will also help to understand the biology behind tumor response to bev and its connection with ctDNA shedding.

1086 Background: Genomic alterations driving MBC progression may be better captured by ctDNA reflecting clonal evolution, but it is currently unknow whether ctDNA analysis can replace tumor sequencing for clinical decision purposes. Aim: to study the concordance between mut in synchronous plasma and tumor samples prospectively collected from patients (pts) with MBC progressing on their last systemic therapy. Methods: MiSeq Amplicon-based NGS (custom panel of 60 cancer-related genes; BRCA1/2 and PALB2 not included) was performed in both tumor biopsy and plasma. The concordance of ESCAT Tier I and II mut ( PIK3CA, AKT1, ERBB2, ESR1, PTEN) was determined and correlated with mutant allele fraction (MAF), TDV, and clinical features. Findings from liquid biopsies were classified as true positive (TP-ctDNA) if a given mut was detected in both tumor and plasma and false negative (FN-ctDNA) if only in the tumor. TDV: all metastasis volume assessed by CT scan (excluding sclerotic bone metastasis), and analyzed by an experienced radiologist using the 3DSlicer semiautomatic segmentation tool (TDV = pixel size x number of pixels). Non-shedding cases were those where any mut was detected in tumor but none in plasma. Results: 88 cases were collected (luminal 64, HER2+ 17, triple negative 7). Median age at diagnosis 49 years (range 28-80). Radiomics assessment could be performed in 78/88 cases. The plasma/tissue concordance at case level was 74%. Discordance came from 23 cases; in 15 cases mut was only found in tissue and in 8 cases it was only detected in plasma. At gene level, PIK3CA had the highest concordance (79%); in ESR1 it was 52%. Higher concordance associated with non-luminal subtype (OR 0.08, 95%CI 0.002 – 0.59) and shorter interval between primary diagnosis and metastatic relapse (20.3 vs 51 months; p =.02), but not with MAF. FN-ctDNA occurred in 15/49 cases (31%) and associated with luminal subtype (p =.02), but not with other clinical variables. Non-shedding cases associated with older age (p =.03), luminal subtype (p =.007), low TDV (p =.0006) and < 3 metastatic sites (p =.05). In patients with visceral metastasis (n = 45), higher TDV associated with lower probability of FN-ctDNA (p =.03). All non-luminal subtypes were shedders and all but one were TP-ctDNA. In multivariate analysis, higher probability of TP-ctDNA in luminal tumors associated with tumor sampling from a progressing lesion (OR 10.8; 95% 1.5 – 122; p =.03) and shorter interval between diagnosis of metastatic disease and biopsy (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.92 – 0.99; p =.03). Conclusions: Our results suggest that ctDNA can detect a significant proportion of clinically relevant mut in MBC. Patients’ characteristics, tumor subtype, type of gene, and tumor volume should be integrated with ctDNA results to better inform clinical decisions.

TPS209 Background: Multiple lines of evidence suggest a crosstalk between androgen receptor (AR) signaling and DNA damage repair (DDR) in prostate cancer. Co-targeting both pathways in mHNPC can result in a clinically relevant synergistic effect. ZZFIRST trial is evaluating the combination of TALA –a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor– and EZ –an AR signaling inhibitor– in mHNPC patients. Methods: This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, investigator-initiated phase 2 clinical trial. Men aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed mHNPC, an ECOG performance status of 0-1, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥4 ng/mL at enrolment are eligible. Patients must have not received previous systemic treatment for locally advanced or mHNPC. A total of 54 patients will start treatment with EZ 160 mg/day for 2 28-day cycles in addition to standard androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Patients are then randomized and stratified based on homologous recombination gene alterations on a 1:2 ratio to either continue EZ 160 mg/day, or to receive EZ 160 mg/day plus TALA 0.5 mg/day. In both arms, patients will continue ADT throughout the trial. Treatment will continue until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. PSA will be determined every 4 weeks and radiological tumor extend will be assessed at screening and every 8 weeks for the 6 initial months of treatment and every 12 weeks thereafter until PD. Primary endpoint is PSA-complete response defined as the percentage of patients with PSA < 0.2 ng/mL at 12 months of therapy. Secondary endpoints include PSA-complete response at any time point and at month 7, PSA response ( < 4 ng/ml) at 7 and 12 months, PSA-progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), radiologic PFS, time to castration resistance based on PSA-PFS and rPFS, and overall survival. Safety will be assessed as per NCI-CTCAE 5.0. Exploratory endpoints include analysis of transcriptional changes in AR and DDR pathways and assessment of genomic signatures on tumor and liquid biopsies collected at baseline, 4 weeks, and PD. An imaging sub-study of whole-body diffusion weighted MRI will help to further study antitumor activity and drug resistance mechanisms. This trial was opened to accrual in July 2020. Currently 44 patients have been enrolled (with 37 randomized by cycle 3 day 1) out of 54 expected. Analysis will be assessed with the exact binomial test. At least 11 patients must maintain PSA < 0.2 ng/mL by 12 months of therapy among 32 evaluable patients in the combination arm to justify further investigation of this strategy. A drop-out rate of 10% has been considered. Clinical trial information: NCT04332744.

2042 Background: Malignant gliomas are heterogeneous diseases in genetic basis. The development of sequencing techniques, such as RNA-Sequencing, has identified many gene rearrangements encoding novel oncogenic fusions. Gene fusion discovery can potentially lead to the development of novel treatments, however studies of gene fusions in glioma remain limited. Methods: The GLIOCAT project studied 139 patient samples of newly diagnosed glioblastoma who had received the standard first-line treatment from 2004 to 2015, to identify gene fusion events from glioblastoma transcriptome data (RNA-Seq). The molecular subtype could be studied in 124 cases. RNA-Seq reads were mapped against the reference human genome with STAR-fusion version 0.7.0, specifically, with FusionInspector validate ( http://star-fusion.github.io ). Two other platforms, FusionHub ( https://fusionhub.persistent.co.in ) and Oncofuse ( www.unav.es/genetica/oncofuse.html ), were applied to eliminate false positives or previously described in healthy tissue and to predict of the oncogenic potential each fusion. Results: A total of61 patients showed 103 different fusions, a median of two fusions by sample. The majority of gene fusions were intrachromosomal and most frequently implied chromosome was 12 followed by 7. In addition, fusions were more common in patients with MGMT promoter methylation, TCGA classical subtype and 18 IGS subtype. There were no differences in age, sex, type of surgery or long survivors ( > 30 months). Ten fusions were already described in cancer, including three in gliomas (FRS2-KIF5A, EGFR-SEPT14 and FGFR3-TACC3). From the detected fusions, 22 of them included an oncogene or protooncogene. Conclusions: In our study, we report the landscape of gene fusions from a large data set of glioblastomas analyzed by RNA-seq. The majority of the fusions were private fusions. A minority of these recur in a low frequency but as many as a quarter of them included an oncogene or protooncogene. RNA-seq of GBM patient samples it is an important tool for the identification of patient-specific fusions that could drive personalized therapy. Furtherless, we will plan to validate this gene fusions.

3541 Background: So far, no biomarkers of response to anti-angiogenic drugs are available in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Liquid biopsy tracks dynamic mutational changes in CRC patients (pts). RAS mutant allele fraction in plasma (plMAF) is an independent prognostic marker in metastatic CRC (mCRC). We explored the predictive value of plMAF in RAS mutant pts treated in 1st line with chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab (bev). Methods: A multicentric prospective/retrospective analysis was conducted. We collected data from 226 mCRC pts and selected the subset not eligible for metastasis resection with basal plMAF sample evaluable for RAS mutant MAF quantification with digital PCR (BEAMing). Pts were stratified as high (≥ 5.8%) or low ( < 5.8%) plMAF. We investigated associations between clinicopathological variables and progression-free survival (PFS) stratified by plMAF RAS levels using Cox regression models and survival data were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Computational analysis of baseline CT scan data extracted 93 radiomics features of all the lesions per patient including 1) 1st class from density histogram distribution and texture analysis by 2) 2nd order and 3) higher order feature classes. The radiomic features distribution between pts with high and low pIMAF was assessed with Student’s t-test analysis. Results: From October 17 to May 19, 63 basal plasma samples were analysed with BEAMing. 42 pts (67.7%) were classified as high and 21 pts (32,3%) as low plMAF. In high plMAF subgroup, a statistically significant longer PFS favouring FOLFOX+bev was observed, compared to FOLFOX alone (10.7 vs 6.9 mts; HR: 0.30; p = 0.002). In low RAS plMAF subgroup, no differences in terms of PFS were observed in either arm (8.9 vs 8.7 mts; HR: 0.7; p = 0.6). Multivariate PFS model showed no association between RAS plMAF and clinicopathological variables, except for high RAS plMAF and treatment benefit with FOLFOX+bev. The CT-radiomics signature, that may translate tumor vascularization, differentiated patients with high vs low pIMAF (p = 0.002). 58 patients (92%) had similar radiomic score; 5 patients with high plMAF (8%) presented very heterogeneous radiomic score distribution. Conclusions: Tumor-borne RAS plMAFs may constitute a potential predictive biomarker of efficacy for anti-angiogenic drugs in mCRC. Next steps will include the identification of -histological, transcriptomic and radiomic- surrogate biomarkers of response that reflect tumor irrigational status.

1075 Background: NGS in ctDNA from MBC is feasible and results may be informative for patients’ management, especially in non-luminal tumors (Oliveira et al, ASCO 2018). We aimed to study the determinants of concordance in CRG in a cohort of 60 MBC patients undergoing tBx and ctDNA collection. Methods: MiSeq Amplicon-based NGS (59 cancer-related genes) was performed in one single metastatic lesion per patient and compared with liquid biopsies taken at the same time point at disease progression to prior treatment. The concordance in CRG ( PIK3CA, AKT1, ERBB2, ESR1, PTEN, BRAF, FGFR1, HRAS, KRAS, and PIK3R1) in tBx vs ctDNA was determined at patient and at mutation (mut) level and correlated with mutant allele fraction (MAF), total disease volume (TDV), and clinical characteristics. True positive in plasma (TPP): patient with a mut detected both in ctDNA and tBx. TDV was defined as all metastasis volume assessed by CT scan (excluding sclerotic bone metastasis), and analyzed by an experienced radiologist using the 3DSlicer semiautomatic segmentation tool (TDV = pixel size x number of pixels). Results: Concordance in CRG at patient and mut level was 72% and 55%, respectively. Concordance for ERBB2 (1/1; 100%) and PIK3CA (17/22; 77%) was higher than for ESR1 (8/20; 40%) and AKT1 (2/6; 33%). ctDNA failed to detect 14 mut present in tBx ( ESR1 n = 5, PIK3CA n = 5, AKT1 n = 3, BRAF n = 1). Concordance was 100% for non-luminal and 60% for luminal cases (P = 0.01). In univariate analysis, concordance was not associated with MAF in tBx (P = 0.15), TDV (p = 0.86), number of prior lines of therapy (P = 0.57), number of metastatic sites (P = 0.56) or presence of visceral metastasis (P = 1.0). In patients with PIK3CA mut (N = 22), those with TPP had a numerically higher TDV than those where a PIK3CA mut was not detected in ctDNA (20.9cm3 vs 5.1cm3, P = 0.28). Across all patients, in the multivariate logistic model adjusted for other factors, TDV was a determinant of TPP (OR 1.02, 95%CI 1.0-1.06; P = 0.059). For each increase of 1cm3 in TDV, there was a 2% increase in the probability of detecting a mut in ctDNA. Conclusions: Our results suggest that liquid biopsy testing for the detection of actionable CRG is clinically valid in MBC, although its yield depends on several factors – tumor subtype, analyzed gene, and possibly tumor volume – that reflect both tumor heterogeneity and tumor shedding rate. Due to the potential clinical implications, the observation that mutation detection in ctDNA may correlate with tumor volume merits further study in a larger dataset.

448 Background: Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a new pattern of progression in cancer patients (pts) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The rate and outcome of HDP in pts with metastatic renal carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC) are unknown. Here, we report the percentage of HPD in a cohort of pts with GU malignancies treated at our center and explore associations with clinical variables. Methods: Medical records from pts treated in phase I-III clinical trials with ICI alone or in combination between July 2013 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. We defined HPD according to the radiologic VHIO´s criteria (ASCO 2018). Associations between HPD and categorical or continuous variables were evaluated using Fisher exact test and Wilcoxon test respectively. OS were estimated with the Kaplan-Meir method. Statistical analyses were performed using the R statistical software (R version 3.5.0). Results: Overall, 104 pts received therapy with ICI. Of these patients, 16 were not included for the analysis (6 pts with absence of measurable disease, 6 pts did not have CT scan available after the clinical progression and 4 pts treated with ICI plus chemotherapy). Thus, 88 pts were included for the analysis, 29 (33%) with RCC and 59 (67%) with UC. Median follow-up was 7.4 months. Median age was 66.5 years (range 29-91 y).Twenty-three pts (26%) were treated with ICI monotherapy and 65 pts (74%) in combination (anti-CTL4, antiangiogenics, PARP inhibitors, FGFR inhibitors). Forty-seven pts (53%) received ICI as second-line therapy or later. By RECIST v1.1, 26 (30%), 19 (21%) and 43(49%) pts had a best response of progressive disease, stable disease or partial+complete response, respectively. We identified 9 pts (10%) who meet the HPD criteria, 2 pts with RCC and 7 with UC. HPD was associated with anemia at baseline (p = 0.058). Pts with HPD had a trend toward lower overall survival (OS) compared with pts with non-HPD (8.87 vs 4.77 months; p = 0.065). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that HPD is a phenomenon seen in a significant proportion of pts with RCC and UC and should be taken in account. We found that HPD is associated with poor OS and the anemia at baseline was correlated with HPD.

218 Background: CRPC is enriched for germline mutations in DNA damage repair genes (gDDRm). BRCA2 mutations (g BRCA2m) associate with poor prognosis from localized PC, but prognostic and predictive value for standard therapy in CRPC is unclear. We reviewed clinical outcome of 390 patients previously tested for gDDRm. Methods: Patient records were reviewed for 372 patients from 3 institutions (Royal Marsden UK, Weill-Cornell NY, University of Washington, WA) with gDDRm status previously published (Pritchard et al, NEJM 2016) and 18 g BRCA1/2m carriers from KConFab consortium (Australia). Baseline characteristics and survival were annotated. Response (PSA50%/RECIST) and PFS (RECIST/PSA progression or start of a new therapy due to clinical progression) were collected for Abiraterone, Enzalutamide and Docetaxel. To account for potential differences between cohorts, a mixed effect model (Weibull distribution) with random intercept per cohort was pursued. Results: dDDRm status was available for n = 390 (60 gDDRm+, including 37 g BRCA2m, and 330 gDDRm-). Overall, 74% and 69% received Docetaxel and Abiraterone/Enzalutamide respectively; 47% gDDRm+ and 34% gDDRm- received PARPi and/or platinum. Median overall survival from CRPC was 3.0 vs 3.2 years in gDDRm+ vs gDDRm- (p = 0.73; g BRCA2m = 3.0 years, p = 0.72). Age and Gleason score at diagnosis were associated with survival from castration-resistance in multivariate analysis. Median PFS on Docetaxel for gDDRm+ (6.8 months; 6.3 for g BRCA2m) and gDDRm- (5.1 months) were not significantly different (p = 0.2). Similarly, RR to Docetaxel was similar for the two groups (61% vs 54% in gDDRm+ vs gDDRm-; 63% g BRCA2m). Median PFS and RR on first Abiraterone/Enzalutamide were similar across groups (PFS: 8.3 months gDDRm+, 8.3 months for gDDRm-; p = 0.9; RR 46% vs 56% respectively) The Interaction of PARPi/platinum therapy among gDDRm+ patients resulted in an aHR for OS from CRPC of 0.59 (95%CI 0.28-1.25; p = 0.17). Conclusions: In this retrospective analysis, CRPC patients with gDDRm still benefited from standard therapies similarly to non-mutation carriers; interpretation of survival data should consider the high proportion treated with PARPi/platinum.

2506 Background: RO5126766 is a potent RAF and MEK inhibitor with activity in xenografts models of RAS and RAF-mutated cancers. We present data from the RAS/RAF-mutated advanced solid tumor cohort and the initial results for the multiple myeloma (MM) cohort. Methods: Patients with KRAS, NRAS or BRAF-mutant tumours were treated with RO5127566 using a novel schedule:4mg twice weekly in 4-week cycles. For MM patients, it was given 3 weeks out of 4 and co-administration of weekly dexamethasone was authorised. Response assessment was completed using RECIST 1.1 criteria for solid tumours and the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria were used for MM. Results: A total of 20 patients with solid tumours (10 NSCLC, 5 gynaecological cancers and 5 miscellaneous cancers) and 1 MM patients were evaluable. Among the 10 KRAS-mutant NSCLC patients, tumour regression was seen in 6/10 (60 %), of which 3/10 (30 %) were partial responses. Two of these patients had maintained response for over 1 year and one patient is still on study after 30 cycles. Of the gynaecological cancers, 3/5 patients (60%) achieved a partial response ( KRAS-mutant endometrial and ovarian cancer and BRAF-mutant ovarian). Of these patients, 1 of the KRAS mutants had received 2 previous lines of MEK inhibitors and the BRAF mutant had previously received a BRAF inhibitor. In the miscellaneous group, 4 patients with colorectal cancer (2 BRAF and 2 NRAS) and 1 patient with NRAS-mutant melanoma were treated and none responded. Two patients with MM have been treated so far (1 KRAS, 1 KRAS+NRAS). The one evaluable patient has had an IMWG partial response (PR) after 1 cycle (FLC-λ from 324 mg/L to 161mg/L, ratio 0.03 to 0.08) without concomittant dexamethasone. This patient was previously treated with an immunomodulatory drug, a proteasome inhibitor and two ASCTs. Conclusions: RO5126766 has shown exciting preliminary activity across a wide range of RAS- and RAF-mutated malignancies, with significant response rates in lung and gynaecological cancers. To our knowledge, the PR seen in our MM patient represents one of the first responses to a single-agent RAF/MEK inhibitor in multiple myeloma in a trial context. Clinical trial information: NCT02407509.

5071 Background: An urgent need exists for new therapies after progression (PD) onAA and enzalutamide (ENZ). Increased PR expression or progesterone-activating AR mutations have been associated with resistance to AR targeting. We aimed to test ONA, a type I PR antagonist with clinical activity in PRpos cancers, in AA/enz-resistant CRPC. In a prospectively defined exploratory analysis, we aimed to report outcome by plasma AR status ( pAR). Methods: This was a multi-institution, open label phase I/II clinical trial in pts progressing after ENZ/AA. Pts were first treated with single agent (SA) ONA using a randomised dose escalation design. ONA at 2 doses was then combined with AA (1000mg od with pred 5mg bid) in pts progressing on AA. The primary end-points were safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-tumor activity split by p AR. Archival and metastatic biopsies were collected when possible and tested for PR status. p AR was studied using previous methods (Romanel STM 2015). Results: 21 pts received SA ONA (5 = 10mg/ 5 = 20mg/ 4 = 30mg/ 4 = 40mg /3 = 50mg BID) and 15 pts received ONA-AA combination (5 = 30mg ONA BID, 10 = 50mg ONA BID). There were not DLTs or significant LFT abnormalities and no G3/4 adverse events (AE), no treatment discontinuations due to AEs and no SAEs considered related to ONA. PK in SA ONA observed active plasma concentrations and no interaction with AA. Of 32 evaluated pts 15 had a 2105T > A (p.L702H) or 2632A > G (p.T878A) AR mutation detected in plasma pre-treatment and 1 had AR copy number gain. PSA declines were not observed with SA ONA but in 2 pts with combination (-30%, -7%) who were AR normal. The rPFS on SA ONA was 2.8 months for AR normal and 2.6 for AR aberrant (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.41; 95% CI, 0.62-3.72; P 0.48) and on combination was 4.4 months for AR normal (8/15) and 2.2 for AR aberrant (7/15) (HR 6.08; 95%CI, 6.32-221.9; P < 0.001). Conclusions: ONA is safe in CRPC as SA and in combination with AA. There was no difference in rPFS by p AR status for SA ONA but on the combination with AA, pts who were plasma AR normal had a significantly longer rPFS. Clinical trial information: NCT02049190.

2504Background: ATR is a regulator of cellular responses to replication stress, where it signals DNA damage repair by homologous recombination. Many cells depend on ATR to survive DNA damage. VX-970 is a potent, selective ATR inhibitor with marked preclinical antitumor activity in combo with chemotherapy. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced cancers were enrolled in 2 parts. Part A: N=1 pt cohorts received VX-970 QW; 3 + 3 cohorts were commenced if ³ G2 drug-related toxicities occurred. Part B: 3 + 3 pt cohorts received CP on d1 + VX-970 on d2 and 9 in 21-day cycles. Timed pre- and post-VX-970 tumor biopsies were assessed for pS345 CHK1 levels by IHC in part B. Hematologic toxicities were modeled for pts in part B. Results: 26 pts were treated; M/F 10/16, ECOG PS 0/1: 9/17. Median age: 66 yrs (range 49-76 years). VX-970 was generally well tolerated as mono or CP combo with mainly G1-2 toxicities. CP dose delays and reductions occurred in 3/3 pts (B1); 2/2 pts (B2); 0/3 pts (B3); 1/6 pts (B4) due to neutr...

180 Background: Advanced prostate cancer (APC) is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, with evidence of clonal evolution that could be responsible for resistance to treatment. About 90% of patients (pts) with APC have bone metastases. The acquisition of a bone marrow biopsies (BMBs) is a safe and feasible technique for obtaining tissue, with a low rate of complications. We hypothesized that pre-biopsy clinical variables may increase the success rate of BMBs in APC. Methods: Standard BMBs of the iliac crest were performed in APC pts between October 2011 and June 2013. All pts signed ethics approved consent. In the control cohort (n=10) BMBs were collected in pts with normal CT and bone scan appearance. Minimum, maximum, and mean Hounsfield Units (HU) of the iliac crest on pre-biopsy CTs were determined. Clinical and laboratory variables were collected from the electronic record system. Biopsies were defined as containing 50 or more or 1 to 50 malignant cells or none (negative). Univariate analysis was performed to determine variables associated with biopsy positivity with 50 or more cells. For variables with p value
