Abstract only 5023 Background: The addition of APA to ongoing ADT in pts with nmCRPC significantly prolonged metastasis-free survival (MFS), time to symptomatic progression (SymProg), and second progression-free survival (PFS2) in SPARTAN. We assessed the impact of APA on these end points in pts with or without BL CM. Methods: Using Cox proportional hazards models, treatment effect of APA was evaluated in SPARTAN pts with CM at BL, stratifying by the presence of BL diabetes/hyperglycemia (D/H), cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension (HTN), and renal insufficiency (RI). Results: Of 1207 SPARTAN pts, 1062 (88%) had ≥ 1 BL CM, including 703/806 (87%) APA pts and 359/401 (90%) PBO pts. A total of 226 (19%), 398 (33%), 798 (66%), and 774 (64%) pts had D/H, CVD, HTN, and RI, respectively; 323 (27%), 412 (34%), 259 (21%), and 68 (6%) pts had 1, 2, 3, and 4 CM, respectively. Incidence of CM was balanced between arms. Pts with CM were older than pts with no CM (median age, 75 vs 69 yrs, APA; 74 vs 69 yrs, PBO). MFS, SymProg, and PFS2 benefit with APA was significant in all CM subgroups, except PFS2 for pts with D/H (Table) and regardless of the number of CM. The incidence of any treatment-emergent AE was balanced between pts with and without CM. AEs with APA were not affected by any CM. Clinical trial information: NCT01946204. Conclusions: The benefit of APA + ongoing ADT in pts with nmCRPC was maintained in pts with D/H, CVD, HTN, and RI. The safety profile of APA was not affected by any CM.[Table: see text]
