Popis: 86 Background: Studies investigating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in mCRPC have produced modest results. Radiation therapy may be synergistic with ICIs. We hypothesised that SABR would enhance anti-tumour activity of PD-L1 inhibitor avelumab in patients (pts) with progressive mCRPC. Methods: This phase II, single arm, multicentre study enrolled mCRPC pts following progression on ≥1 novel androgen receptor-directed therapy. Up to two lines of prior taxane chemotherapy were permitted. Pts received avelumab 10mg/kg IV q2weeks for a total of 24 weeks (12 cycles). A single fraction of 20Gy SABR was administered to 1-2 disease sites within five days prior to first and second doses of avelumab. Primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR); secondary endpoints were PSA response (PSA50), overall response rate (ORR), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Radiographic disease assessment (CT and bone scintigraphy) was performed after cycles 6 and 12 of avelumab treatment. Following enrolment of 14 pts, a protocol amendment allowed avelumab beyond 12 cycles in pts with disease control at 24 weeks. Results: Thirty-one pts were enrolled, with 30 evaluable for the primary endpoint. Median follow-up was 18 months (mo). Pt characteristics: median age 71 years (IQR 64-75), bone-only disease 42%, visceral disease 16%, prior taxane chemotherapy 84%, treatment with both abiraterone and enzalutamide 13%. Seventy metastatic sites received SABR, most frequently to bone (90%) and soft tissue (29%) disease. Avelumab was given as second-line, third-line and fourth- or greater line systemic therapy in 29%, 42% and 29% of pts, respectively. Median cycles of avelumab administered was 9 (IQR 5-13). DCR (95% CI) was 50% (31-69) and 60% (32-84) in all-comers and soft tissue disease subgroup, respectively. Following protocol amendment, 7/17 pts (41%) received avelumab beyond 12 cycles. Incidence of grade 3-4 treatment-related AEs was 16% (no grade 5 events), with three pts requiring oral/IV corticosteroid therapy. Conclusions: Avelumab with SABR demonstrated durable disease control in treatment-refractory mCRPC with an acceptable toxicity profile. This combination warrants further investigation.
