5581 Background: Traditional platinum-based systemic chemotherapy continue to be the SOC for aEC in the first line. Phase 2 clinical trials of chemotherapy (GOG 129 series) and some targeted therapies (229 series) for second line advanced endometrial cancer (aEC) have proved disappointing. Recently the treatment landscape for aEC patients has significantly changed with newer targeted therapies focusing on the microsatellite instability (MSI) status of endometrial tumors. The objective of the ECHO study was to describe real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in non-MSI-high or DNA mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) aEC patients in clinical practice in the United States (US) prior to 2019. Methods: The ECHO study is a multicenter, retrospective chart review study in women diagnosed with aEC in the US. Data were obtained from medical records of adult women (≥18 years) diagnosed with advanced or inoperable aEC (stages III or IV) with known MSI status, who had received at least one prior systemic therapy and progressed between July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2019. De-identified patient data extracted by treating oncologists included patient demographics, clinical and treatment characteristics, and clinical outcomes. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to estimate real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 124 non-MSI-high or pMMR aEC patients who had progression following first line therapy were included in this interim analysis. Average age was 63 years, 62.9% White/Caucasian, 16.9% Hispanic/Latino, and 86% had ECOG ≤1. Metastases were observed in 70% of patients at diagnosis, with the most common metastatic sites being lung (47.6%), liver (32.3%), and distant lymph nodes (29%). As 2nd line therapy, 69% of patients received mono or combination chemotherapy (primarily with doxorubicin), 13% hormonal therapy, and 18% targeted therapy ± chemotherapy. Median duration of 2nd line therapy was 4 months. The majority (86.3%) discontinued 2nd line therapy, with disease progression the most common reason (66.4%). A quarter (26.6%) of patients initiated an additional line of therapy. Median rwPFS from initiation of 2nd line therapy was 5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4-9). Median OS from initiation of 2nd line therapy was 12 months (95%CI: 9-18). Estimated OS rates from initiation of 2nd line therapy at 6, 12, and 24 months were 66%, 47%, and 30%, respectively. Conclusions: In this retrospective, chart review study, patients with non-MSI-high/pMMR aEC in the US who failed at least one systemic therapy had poor prognosis on subsequent therapies. There continues to be a significant unmet need in this group of women. Novel therapies are needed that delay progression and/or improve overall survival and further research is indicated to explore this.

Background and Objectives: Naldemedine is a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist that improves opioid-induced constipation. Although clinical trials have excluded patients with poor performance status (PS) and those started on naldemedine early after opioid initiation, clinical practice has used naldemedine for the same patients. Therefore, we investigated the treatment patterns of naldemedine in a real-world setting. Materials and Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective chart review study of opioid-treated patients with cancer receiving naldemedine. Adverse events that occurred within 7 days of naldemedine initiation were evaluated in those who received one or more doses of the same. Effectiveness was assessed in patients who used naldemedine for more than 7 days. Results: A total of 296 patients satisfied the eligibility criteria, among whom 129 (43.6%) had a PS of ≥3 and 176 (59.5%) started naldemedine within 2 weeks of opioid initiation. Moreover, 203 (79.6%) patients had ≥3 bowel movements per week. Incidences of all grades of diarrhea and abdominal pain were 87 (29.4%) and 12 (4.1%), respectively. No patient had grade 4 or higher adverse events. Conclusions: Although nearly half of the patients receiving naldemedine in clinical practice belonged to populations that were not included in the clinical trials, our results suggested that naldemedine in clinical practice had the same efficacy and safety as that in clinical trials.
