126 Background: The Phase 3 PROfound trial (NCT02987543) met its primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints, including improved overall survival (OS) for olaparib in men with mCRPC with alterations in BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM (Cohort A). We report gene-by-gene analysis of olaparib antitumor activity among the 15 prespecified homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. Methods: Pts were randomized to olaparib (300 mg bid; n=256) or physician’s choice of enzalutamide or abiraterone (control; n=131). Exploratory analyses in pts with alterations in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 (BRCA, regardless of co-occurring alterations with other HRR genes) or in single genes were conducted. Results: Evidence of olaparib antitumor activity was observed in subgroups with >10 pts (table). Data for pts with alterations in only BRCA1, BRCA2, PPP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD54L, PALB2, BRIP1, CHEK1, BARD1, and RAD51D will be reported (no FANCL or RAD51C enrolled). Conclusions: Small subgroups limit interpretation for some genes. Olaparib antitumor activity is greatest in pts with BRCA alterations, with a spectrum of clinical sensitivity to olaparib as defined by rPFS and OS across the broader population with alterations in other HRR genes. Clinical trial information: NCT02987543. [Table: see text]
