e21040 Background: The anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy has achieved positive results in previous studies. In particular, the median progression-free survival (PFS) for EGFR-negative patients was increased to 8.3 months in the BEYOND study. Unlike bevacizumab, anlotinib is a novel multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and can be conveniently orally administered. In the phase III trial ALTER 0303, anlotinib significantly improved overall survival (OS) and PFS in advanced NSCLC patients. This exploratory study aims to establish the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin as first-line treatment in advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Methods: This is a multi-center, single-arm clinical trial. Adults with treatment-naive, histologically confirmed stage IIIB-IV non-squamous NSCLC, ECOG 0-1, and without known sensitizing EGFR/ALK alterations are included. Patients received anlotinib (12 mg p.o., QD, d1 to 14, 21 days per cycle) combined with pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, iv, d15-21, Q3W) + carboplatin (AUC = 5, iv, d15-21, Q3W) for 4 cycles followed by anlotinib and pemetrexed maintenance until disease progression (PD). The primary endpoint was PFS. Secondary endpoints were OS, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety. Results: Between Mar 2019 and Dec 2020, 40 patients were enrolled in six centers and 31 of them have received at least one tumor assessment. Median age was 62 (33, 75); 66.7% male, 11.1% brain metastasis. At data cutoff (Dec 31, 2020), patients were followed up for a median of 8.26 months. Median PFS was 10.5 months (95% CI: NE, NE); ORR was 67.7% (0 CR, 21 PR), DCR was 96.8% (0 CR, 21 PR, 9 SD) and median OS was NE. The most common Grade ≥ 3 AEs were hypertension 22.2%, neutropenia 19.44%, myelosuppression 11.1%, thrombocytopenia 8.33%, leukopenia 5.56%, hand-foot syndrome 5.56% and there were no Grade 5 toxicities. Conclusions: This study finds that anlotinib plus pemetrexed and carboplatin can significantly improve PFS and ORR compared to standard chemotherapy for treatment-naive non-squamous NSCLC patients. The combination was well tolerated, and the AEs were manageable. The follow-up time is not sufficient, and the OS outcomes need further evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT03790228.

e15550 Background: The combination of anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR targeted drugs with chemotherapy is the standard first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and the followed maintenance treatment is an optional approach to balance the efficacy and toxicity. However, studies regarding the maintenance strategies based on antiangiogenic TKIs are limited currently. Anlotinib, a novel oral multi-target TKI which can inhibit both tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation simultaneously, substantially prolonged the PFS with manageable toxicity for refractory mCRC in the phase III ALTER0703 clinical trial. Here we report an update on the effectiveness and safety of anlotinib plus XELOX as first-line treatment followed by anlotinib monotherapy for mCRC. Methods: In this open label, single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical trial, 53 mCRC patients without prior systemic treated, aged 18-75 and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 were planned to recruit. Eligible patients received capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, po, d1-14, q3w) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2, iv, d1, q3w) plus anlotinib (10mg, po, d1̃14, q3w) treatment for 6 cycles. After 6 cycles of inducing therapy, patients would receive anlotinib (12mg, po, d1̃14, q3w) as maintenance therapy until disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The primary endpoint was PFS; Secondary endpoints included ORR, DCR, DOR and safety. Results: By the data analysis cutoff date of January 22, 2021, a total of 18 patients were enrolled, of which 12 patients were available for efficacy assessment. In best overall response assessment, there were 50.0% PR (6/12), 33.3% SD (4/12) and 16.7% PD (2/12). The ORR was 50.0% (95% CI, 21.1-78.9%) and DCR was 83.3% (95% CI, 51.5-97.9%). The longest duration of treatment was 8.8 months and the response was still ongoing. The median PFS was not reached. The most common treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade (≥20%) were leukopenia, hypertension, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, hypertriglyceridemia. Grade 3/4 TRAEs included hypertension (22.2%), hypertriglyceridemia (11.1%), lipase elevated (11.1%) and neutropenia (5.6%). No grade 5 AEs occurred. Conclusions: The update results suggested that anlotinib combined with XELOX as first line regimen followed by anlotinib monotherapy showed promising anti-tumor activity and manageable safety for patients with mCRC. And the conclusions needed to be confirmed in trials continued subsequently. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900028417.

676 Background: FOLFIRI+bevacizumab (BV) is considered as a first-line treatment in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The FIRIS study showed the non-inferiority of irinotecan plus S-1 (IRIS) to FOLFIRI. Therefore, we conducted a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BV in combination with IRIS as first-line chemotherapy for KRAS mutant-type (mt) mCRC (clinical trial information: UMIN000004630). Methods: Eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed mCRC, KRAS mt, no previous chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS) of 0/1, and adequate organ function. S-1 was administered at 80 mg/m2 on days 1–14 and irinotecan at 100 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 every 28 days. BV was administered at 5 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 every 28 days. The primary endpoint was response rate (RR), and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. The sample size was calculated to reject a RR of 25% in favor of a target RR of 50% with a significance level of 0.05 and a statistical power of 80%. Results: Of 26 patients enrolled for the study between December 2010 and September 2015, 23 met the inclusion criteria. The patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 66 (range, 46–77) years; male/female, 15/8; PS 0/1, 9/14; number of metastatic tumors 1/ ≥ 2, 8/15; colon/rectum as the primary tumor site, 13/10; primary tumor +/−, 15/8; and unresectable/recurrent, 15/8. The RR was 60.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 40.8%–77.8%) with complete response, 0; partial response, 14; stable disease, 8; progressive disease, 0; and not evaluable, 1. With a median follow-up period of 58.1 months, the median PFS and OS were 10.7 (95% CI: 4.7–16.8) and 28.5 (95% CI: 17.6–39.3) months, respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (35%), diarrhea (22%), leukopenia (17%), febrile neutropenia (13%), anemia (13%), and hypoalbuminemia (13%). Conclusions: BV in combination with IRIS as first-line chemotherapy showed promising anti-tumor effects and manageable toxicities for KRAS mt mCRC. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004630.

e14067 Background: Tislelizumab, an investigational anti-PD-1 antibody, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. Previous reports showed tislelizumab was generally well tolerated and had antitumor activity in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors; 200 mg IV Q3W was established as the RP2D. Methods: This phase 2 clinical trial (NCT03432598) assessed tislelizumab (200 mg Q3W) with platinum (plt)-based chemotherapy (Q3W) as first-line treatment for Chinese pts with advanced lung cancer. All pts received tislelizumab + plt doublet (4–6 cycles) until disease progression. Nonsquamous (nsq) NSCLC pts received pemetrexed (PMX) + plt (4 cycles) followed by PMX maintenance; squamous (sq) NSCLC pts received A) paclitaxel (PXL) + plt or B) gemcitabine + plt; SCLC pts received etoposide + plt. Tumor response (RECIST v1.1) and safety/tolerability were evaluated. PD-L1 expression was retrospectively assessed with the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) assay. Results: As of 15 Oct 2018, 54 pts (median age 61 yr; 74% male; 72% current/former smokers; 31% with ≥10% PD-L1 expression on tumor cells) received tislelizumab; 24 pts remain on treatment. Confirmed PR was observed in 36 pts and most occurred within the first 2 assessments. Other efficacy estimates (eg, PFS) are maturing. Grade ≥3 AEs occurring in > 15% of pts were decreased neutrophil counts (n = 25) and anemia (n = 9); immune-related AEs occurring in ≥2 pts were decreased triiodothyronine, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and pyrexia (n = 2 each). One sq-NSCLC pt ( A) experienced fatal myocarditis/myositis after 1 cycle; other AEs resolved with tislelizumab interruption (n = 30), discontinuation (n = 4), or other appropriate treatment. Conclusions: Tislelizumab in combination with standard of care plt-based chemotherapy was generally well tolerated and demonstrated antitumor activity. Clinical trial information: NCT03432598.
